In the past two years, domestic new energy vehicles have been surging, plug-in hybrid vehicles / extended-range electric vehicles, which can be fueled and electric vehicles, and how to choose pure electric vehicles have become hot topics. Many manufacturers and sales are constantly instilling a concept in consumers, that is, for consumers who cannot meet the current conditions of pure electric vehicles, that is, consumers who do not have home charging piles and often need to travel long distances, buy a plug-in hybrid vehicle/additional vehicle. Program electric vehicles are more practical; and consumers who often drive in urban areas and have very few long-distance driving scenes can save money and experience better by buying pure electric vehicles.

In fact, before buying a car by ourselves, we also fully recognize the definition of the use conditions of pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles by many manufacturers and sales, especially when we do not have the installation conditions for home charging piles, and we often run long distances. , it seems that plug-in hybrid vehicles or extended-range electric vehicles are the only options. However, when we used a pure electric vehicle and a plug-in hybrid / extended-range electric vehicle, we suddenly discovered another problem, that is, in essence, plug-in hybrid and extended-range electric vehicles rely more on home charging than pure electric vehicles pile.

Charging Station

According to the manufacturer’s settings, the application scenarios of plug-in hybrid and extended-range electric vehicles are urban power consumption and long-distance oil consumption. Even if there is no home charging pile, the car will not stop. But in terms of user experience, as a user, once you feel the money saving and experience of using electricity, you will always want to use the pure electric mode. I believe that many owners of plug-in hybrid models and plug-in hybrid models I have the feeling that after driving on the road, even in the city, there is already anxiety about battery life.

So if there is no home charging pile and you are not willing to burn oil in the urban area, you are actually anxious about the battery life of pure electric vehicles, so many car owners will still charge outside even if they drive a vehicle that does not rely on pure electric vehicles on the charging pile. stand and run. I don’t know if you have noticed that there are many charging stations and charging piles outside. In many cases, the proportion of charging piles for plug-in hybrid vehicles and extended-range electric vehicles is even higher than that of pure electric vehicles.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, the pure electric battery life of plug-in hybrid vehicles and extended-range electric vehicles is generally short. If you do not have a home charging pile, in order to maintain pure electric driving, you can only continue to replenish energy and relieve battery life anxiety. The cruising range of the pure electric vehicle itself is relatively longer, so if it is the same commuting distance, in the absence of a home charging pile, the pure electric vehicle owner may go to the charging station and the charging pile outside the frequency less frequently.

So in fact, from this point of view, for pure electric vehicle owners, especially pure electric vehicle owners with relatively long vehicle battery life, whether there is a home charging pile has less impact. For example, a pure electric car with a nominal battery life of 600 kilometers can run to about 500 kilometers after the battery life is discounted. The latest battery technology can reach this level, so basically charging once a week is basically enough. Running 100 kilometers a day, it is difficult for most car owners to reach this level of commuting mileage on weekdays, so many car owners can run for more than a week with a full charge, and go to an outside charging station once a week or more. For plug-in hybrid / extended-range models, it is relatively easier.

Charging Station

When it comes to long distances, it has nothing to do with household charging piles. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and extended-range electric vehicles can use oil, and pure electric vehicles can only find fast charging. This is the essential difference of this type of vehicle. After all No matter what type of new energy vehicle it is, it is impossible to run a home charging pile on its back.

So in fact, in terms of people’s actual psychological needs, after buying a plug-in hybrid car or an extended-range electric car, more people still want to run on pure electricity as much as possible to save costs and get a better user experience, while The pure electric cruising range of these models themselves is relatively short, so if there is no home charging pile, the frequency of these car owners running to the charging pile outside is much higher than that of pure electric car owners. Naturally, plug-in hybrid vehicles and extended-range electric vehicles The dependence on home charging piles is higher.

Therefore, in fact, for small partners who are going to buy hybrid vehicles or extended-range electric vehicles, it is best to have the conditions for installing and using home charging piles. Under such conditions, use plug-in hybrid vehicles or extended-range electric vehicles. Only then can there really be no anxiety, and the advantages of these models can be brought into full play. If you don’t have a home charging pile, you still want to enjoy the fun of pure electric driving in the city, and the troubles caused by frequent charging may eventually overwhelm this fun.
