in the past few years when new energy vehicles have been booming in china, the extended-range type may have grown the fastest, but it is also accompanied by the most controversy. because the structure of the extended-range electric vehicle is relatively simple, many manufacturers who focus on plug-in hybrids have criticized the extended-range type, believing that the extended-range type is a backward technology that appeared many years ago and is not as advanced as the complex plug-in hybrid, especially the multi-speed plug-in hybrid...

however, now extended-range electric vehicles have been continuously recognized in different dimensions. first of all, at the market level, new car manufacturers with sales of over 30,000 vehicles basically focus on extended-range, including ideal, wenjie, deep blue, leapmotor, etc., and more and more manufacturers are joining the extended-range track. extended-range electric vehicles have become a very strong product category.

on september 23, at the 2024 china (zhengzhou) new energy vehicle ecological partner conference, yang yusheng, an academician of the chinese academy of engineering, made a surprising statement, expressing his strong support and optimism for extended-range electric technology. he said that extended-range is the most advanced, integrating excellent technologies, saving energy and reducing emissions, and has unlimited application prospects!

he also said that the extended-range model is the ultimate form of pure electric hybrid. if the traditional components of the plug-in model are omitted, it will evolve into the extended-range model. he believes that this step will be omitted sooner or later, because it can save a lot of trouble! he also suggested that the extended-range model should be treated the same as the pure electric model, and companies should not focus on making complete vehicles. the complete vehicle is of course important, but the range extender is even more important...

judging from the statement made by academician yang yusheng, he gave a very high evaluation of extended-range electric technology, and pointed out the issues that need to be paid attention to in future development, as well as the support that needs to be given. we believe that this is an authoritative correction to the continued prejudice against extended-range electric technology over the years.

in fact, for a long time, we have been emphasizing a point of view, that is, li xiang, the founder of ideal auto, said that the end of plug-in hybrid is extended range. now it seems that it coincides with the view of academician yang yusheng! and as more car companies and brands accelerate the extended range track, this is also proved.

we will not analyze the very long-term future, but from the current technology and product experience, the performance of the extended-range electric vehicle is also quite comprehensive. first of all, in terms of the driving form, the extended-range electric vehicle is essentially an electric vehicle. the range extender does not participate in the driving, and the whole process is electric drive, so the overall vehicle experience is almost exactly the same as that of a pure electric vehicle.

moreover, as a fully electric-driven model, the extended-range electric vehicle also has unique advantages in the field of high-level intelligent driving assistance. therefore, we can see that in the field of new energy vehicles in china, the models that can achieve truly high-level intelligent driving are either pure electric or extended-range. those who say that the intelligent driving system installed on their plug-in hybrid models is the best are just bragging.

of course, many people think that when the extended-range electric vehicle is low on power, the range extender consumes more fuel and makes a louder sound. but the problem is that on the extended-range electric vehicle, the range extender only serves as a power bank or emergency power supply. many people who buy extended-range electric vehicles basically regard them as pure electric vehicles, especially users who commute a large proportion of short distances. the probability of starting the range extender is relatively small, so the range extender has never been considered the protagonist.

so when a pure electric car runs out of power, the owner and passengers either get out and push the car or call for help. the range extender plays the role of pushing and towing the car. when you need to push and tow the car, will you dislike the clothes of the person pushing the car are not new enough, or the sound of the towing car is a bit loud?

so in fact, for most users, if they feel range anxiety when buying a pure electric vehicle, and also want to enjoy all the technical privileges of a pure electric vehicle, including driving smoothness, high-end intelligent driving systems, etc., then the extended-range electric vehicle is the best choice, not the plug-in hybrid!
