in the past one or two years, domestic new energy vehicles have developed rapidly, among which plug-in hybrid and extended-range models that can be powered by either oil or electricity have played a very important role. the advantages of plug-in hybrid and extended-range models are naturally that they can be powered by either oil or electricity. the cost of pure electricity is low for short-distance and commuting, and there is no range anxiety for long-distance hybrid use of oil and electricity. it can be said that at a stage where the range and charging efficiency of electric vehicles have not reached a high degree of unity, the transitional role of plug-in hybrid and extended-range models is very obvious.

however, many owners of plug-in hybrid and extended-range vehicles, including the editor, after driving both gasoline and electric vehicles for a while, will have a vague feeling of regret, that is, why did not buy a pure electric car directly!

in fact, many people now buy new energy vehicles, some of which are for the pursuit of better driving assistance and smart cockpit levels, but a large part of them are for saving more money. there is nothing to hide about this, including some car owners with higher budgets. it is always right to save a little.

then the question arises. many friends have reflected a situation, that is, if you have been driving a gasoline car, you are not particularly sensitive to changes in oil prices, increases and decreases in fuel consumption, and the cost of refueling. even if you change to a gasoline car, the fuel consumption is slightly higher, and the daily refueling costs are a little more, it will not be particularly "uncomfortable". however, if you have driven a new energy vehicle for a period of time, whether it is pure electric, plug-in hybrid, or extended-range, and you are used to the low cost of pure electric driving, it may be difficult to accept long-term oil-burning driving, because the cost of pure electric driving of many new energy vehicles is 1-2 cents per kilometer, while fuel vehicles are 70 or 80 cents at any time!

many people may say that in urban areas, whether it is pure electric or plug-in hybrid/extended range, the distance traveled in a day is not much different. in fact, the difference in mileage and energy consumption is not particularly large, but a core difference is that plug-in hybrid and extended range vehicles need to be charged frequently, especially for some users who do not have a home charging pile. many friends buy plug-in hybrid and extended range vehicles just to be able to burn oil directly when there is no home charging pile and fast charging outside is inconvenient.

however, many friends found out after buying the car that as long as there are charging piles nearby, they will involuntarily choose to charge instead of burning oil, because the cost of burning oil is relatively too high. at this time, the battery capacity of plug-in hybrid and extended-range vehicles is relatively small, and the disadvantage of insufficient pure electric range is reflected. for example, if you commute 200 kilometers a week, the current wltc pure electric range of plug-in hybrid and extended-range vehicles is no more than 180 kilometers. in addition, due to the air conditioning being turned on and the temperature dropping in winter, the range will be even less, and you need to recharge at least once a week. for a pure electric car with a range of 500 kilometers, even if there is no home charging pile, charging once every two weeks is almost enough.

some friends may have said that the advantages of plug-in hybrid and extended-range vehicles are in long-distance and highway driving. this may be the advantage imagined by many friends who have not bought a car, because we can see many plug-in hybrid and extended-range models occupying charging piles in highway service areas. the reason is very simple. we are used to pure electric driving and it hurts to burn oil, so even if we are driving long distances and highways, we will habitually drive pure electric. moreover, high-speed driving itself consumes high electricity, so we have to go in and out of charging stations frequently. in addition, the charging efficiency of plug-in hybrid and extended-range vehicles is generally not as good as that of pure electric vehicles of the same level and price, so they have to charge frequently, and the charging is slow, and the experience is not good.

if it is a pure electric vehicle, it may be difficult to charge on the highway during holidays when people travel more, such as national day and spring festival, but in most cases, it is more convenient and cheaper than plug-in hybrid and extended-range vehicles, so it is equivalent to using occasional inconvenience to offset daily convenience and cost savings. moreover, the layout of charging piles is very extensive now. if you have to queue up on the highway, you can also get off the nearest road to charge, and it won’t take long.

in short, for many friends who have bought extended-range and plug-in hybrid vehicles and are used to pure electric driving, they will regret not buying pure electric models. especially for car owners who spend most of their time commuting between home and work and occasionally drive long distances, pure electric models may be a better choice.
