When is a hybrid car?

The hybrid electric vehicle generally refers to the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), that is, the traditional internal combustion engine (diesel engine or gasoline engine) and electric motor are used as the power source, and some engines have been modified to use other alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas, propane and ethanol fuel.

Hybrid electric vehicles are to install a set of internal combustion engines on pure electric vehicles, the purpose of which is to reduce the pollution of the car and improve the mileage of pure electric vehicles. Hybrid vehicles have two structural forms: series and parallel.

Broadly speaking, a hybrid vehicle refers to a vehicle whose drive system is composed of two or more single drive systems that can operate at the same time, and the driving power of the vehicle is provided by a single drive system alone or jointly according to the actual driving state of the vehicle.

As environmental protection measures around the world become more and more stringent, hybrid vehicles have become a focus of automotive research and development due to their energy-saving and low-emission characteristics, and have begun to be commercialized.

The electric powertrain used in hybrid vehicles includes highly efficient and reinforced electric motors, generators, and batteries. Batteries include lead-acid batteries, nickel-manganese hydride batteries, and lithium batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells should also be used in the future.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a new energy vehicle between pure electric vehicles and fuel vehicles, which has the engine, transmission, transmission system, oil circuit, and fuel tank of traditional vehicles.

There are also batteries, motors, and control circuits of pure electric vehicles, and the battery capacity is relatively large, and there are charging interfaces; It combines the advantages of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to achieve all-electric, zero-emission driving and increase the vehicle's driving range through hybrid mode.

In daily use, it can be used as a pure electric vehicle, as long as a single use does not exceed the range that the battery can provide (generally more than 50 kilometers is not a big problem), it can achieve zero emissions and zero fuel consumption.

Due to the high cost of batteries, it is difficult for this kind of vehicle to enter the family at a low level in the short term, but due to the influence of the development trend of domestic automobiles, the corresponding subsidies will be increased due to the importance of the first type, and plug-in hybrid models will enter the family just around the corner.
