In the face of consumers' doubts about the plug-in hybrid technology, ideal car CEO Li wants to speak many times, this time he directly "shouted" Volkswagen on social media, hoping to have a real contest with Volkswagen's most advanced PHEV model.

At a SUV test drive held by Volkswagen in Chengdu on the evening of Sept. 8, Volkswagen passenger car brand Stephan Wollenstein Feng Sihan directly expressed his views on the added electric vehicles: the added electric vehicles may not be as environmentally friendly as imagined, and from the point of view of the whole country and the planet, using the combustion of fossil fuels to generate electricity for the car powertrain is a "bad solution". At the same time, Weidman, head of the R & D department of Volkswagen Group (China), said that add-on is an outdated technology and has little potential for development.

In the face of comments from Volkswagen's Chinese executives, as an ideal car dedicated to the development of added-program electric vehicles, ideal car CEO Li would like to shout to Volkswagen on his personal Weibo: hope to conduct a comparative test of energy conservation and environmental protection with Volkswagen's most advanced PHEV, preferably in the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and Li Xiang directly named Audi Q7 PHEV considering the size level of the ideal ONE.

Ideal car names Audi Q7 e-tron and Porsche Cayenne E-Hybird, two of Volkswagen's PHEV models, on its official Weibo, hoping that the media will compare their energy consumption and test driving experience with the ideal ONE, and ideal will provide test driving support to verify whether what Volkswagen China CEO said is true.

In fact, it is not uncommon for Li to be able to make such a response. In the previous ideal car user Day event, Li wanted to directly "swear" at people who belittled the technology of add-on electric vehicles: "I first say bad things, TMD, a bunch of smelly technology, XX us every day, what extended range electric is a backward technology, excuse me, they TMD come up with fart technology?" Yes, let a group of people who have no user thinking and do not care about users study the technical route every day, what is the technical route of TM? Nonsense! "

Li wanted to shout to the public netizens gave a different opinion. Some netizens said that Li wanted to speak out to show that he had confidence in his products, while others believed that there was a gap between the ideal ONE and Audi Q7 PHEV in terms of price and brand awareness, and the ideal car was suspected of being marketed by porcelain.

The comments made by Volkswagen executives at the event undoubtedly minimized the add-on electric vehicles, so it is no wonder that ideal Motors and Li Xiang are "shouting" Volkswagen directly on social media. But then again, although ideal ONE and Audi Q7 PHEV both belong to medium and large SUV, there is a certain gap in price, user group and brand awareness. There is still some controversy about which is stronger or weaker than the add-on driver technology of ideal ONE and Audi Q7 PHEV technology.

As the only add-on model on the market, ideal ONE delivered a total of 2711 new cars in August, bringing its cumulative sales this year to 14656.
