Extended range electric VS super hybrid, who are you more optimistic about？

I. Representative technologies and models

At present, the mainstream technologies are: super hybrid and electric.

The representative technologies and models of super hybrid are: BYD Tang DMi/DM-p, Great Wall Xiaolong MAX Hi4, etc.

The representative technologies and models of electric vehicles are: /L9, /M7, etc.

Second, the technical comparison

On the surface, there is electricity, so you can charge and refuel when there is no electricity. But the underlying driving logic has obvious differences:

Super hybrid: and the motor can cooperate with each other to drive the vehicle.

Electric: the engine is only used to generate electricity, and only the motor is used to drive the vehicle.

Both have advantages and disadvantages:

Super hybrid, complex structure, easy to go wrong, and the maintenance cost may be higher.

Electric, the structure is relatively simple, the technical threshold is low, but it will consume more oil.

By comparison, it is known that electric power is a relatively backward technology in terms of technical theory and development, which is also a consensus. But why do many car companies launch electric cars, and the sales volume is not bad?

At present, vehicles with better electric sales in the market have ideals and challenges. These enterprises do not have much accumulation in hybrid technology, but electric technology and other brands are the same starting line and can compete on the same stage; And if they have DMi/DM-p, Hi4 and Chery C-DM, they will invest a lot of time and cost in research and development, and they may not do better than these car companies. Therefore, the "relatively simple structure and low technical threshold" electric power can meet the needs of short-distance electricity consumption and long-distance new energy licensing, and overcome the fear of long-distance charging, which naturally becomes the best technical choice for ideals and challenges.

At the same time, whether the car sales are good or not, in addition to technical theory, car design, positioning, and satisfaction and experience of customers are also very important. Is one of the best.

Third, the future development

Back to automotive technology, let’s make a bold prediction: at present, electric and super hybrid go hand in hand, and in the future, it will be super hybrid, and then it will inevitably be the world of electric.
