AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/07 Report--

"at present, the improvement and popularization of charging piles will take time, and the extended range mode is the most suitable new energy vehicle model," Yu Chengdong, Huawei terminal BG CEO and smart car solution BU CEO, said on Weibo on July 6. At the same time, Yu Chengdong also praised the extended-range hybrid system and thanked "Li for his efforts and contributions in exploring the extended-range model," while Li forwarded Weibo and sent "love" on Weibo.

Yu Chengdong and Li want to sympathize with each other, but some people can't watch it anymore. "it takes good blacksmiths to make good steel," Li Ruifeng, CEO of Great Wall Wei, wrote on Weibo that night. "it takes a good blacksmith to make good steel. It is an industry consensus that the mixing technology of add programs is backward. No matter how big the mouth is, you can't talk nonsense." At the same time, it also added topics such as "Smart DHT is the best new energy technology in the world" and "Yu Chengdong said that the extended range car is not advanced enough is nonsense # and accompanied by a picture of" I can't figure it out ". Today, Li Ruifeng posted two more Weibo posts, saying that "the added program is backward, separated by lines, and don't regard casual sex as a personality" and "just make a fortune by muffling the journey. There's no need to say it."

The listing of ideal L9 and M7 will bring fire to the add-on program. According to official data, the ideal L9 has more than 30,000 orders within 72 hours of listing, while the M7 is even more fierce, with more than 20,000 orders within four hours of listing. Obviously, these two new cars, which focus on add-on technology, have been sought after by consumers.

In spite of this, there are still people in the industry who scoff at the add-on technology. Prior to this, after the listing of ideal ONE, Feng Sihan, CEO of Volkswagen China, said bluntly that "the growth program is the worst plan." Feng Sihan said that add-on electric cars 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 power system 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 At the same time, Weidman, head of the R & D department of Volkswagen Group (China), said that add-on is an outdated technology and has little potential for development.

But the end result is that the ideal ONE has become the top seller of medium and large SUV, continuously crushing traditional medium and large fuel vehicles such as Volkswagen Tuang, and has repeatedly exceeded the sales of new power brands such as Lai and Xiaopeng on its own. In other words, although add-on technology is not popular, it is undeniable that add-on electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular with consumers.

What is an added program? The add-on electric vehicle is different from the pure electric and plug-in hybrid, its most prominent component is the addition of the driver, the working principle is to use the engine to generate electricity and the motor to drive the vehicle. When the power is sufficient, the vehicle can drive in pure electric mode, and when the power is insufficient, the engine will start and then drive the engine to charge the power battery.

Strictly speaking, the plug-in electric vehicle is a variant of plug-in hybrid, the simplest understanding is that the car has two sets of power systems of motor and internal combustion engine, and the two sets of power systems drive vehicles in series and parallel. Series-parallel hybrid and other combination modes, add program is one of the relatively simple series mode.

As for the development of add-on electric vehicles, how long will it take? It is understood that in addition to the ideal car, including Dongfeng Lantu, Changan Deep Blue and so on, all began to make efforts on the added electric vehicle, and according to the current development of the new energy vehicle market, the sales proportion of pure electric vehicle is declining, while the hybrid vehicle is gradually growing, so there will be a market for the added electric vehicle in the short term, which may be the reason why the ideal second model is still the added electric vehicle. But after that, pure electric cars will also be launched. Of course, as Yu Chengdong said, when the charging facilities become more and more perfect, the charging speed becomes faster and faster, and the power battery technology makes a breakthrough, then the battery life of pure electric vehicles will be greatly improved, and charging will be more convenient and faster. In addition, due to the existence of the engine, the hybrid is not environmentally friendly, and the use cost is significantly higher than that of pure electric vehicles, which may not be in line with the national new energy development plan to some extent, and the advantages of added electric vehicles may not be so obvious.

As to whether the add-on technology is backward or not, some netizens think that "true knowledge comes from practice, it may be backward from the technical level, but it is another matter from the market aspect." Some netizens said, "the add-on electric vehicle is not a hybrid, the added-program electric vehicle is indeed an eliminated technology, and the reason is precisely because it is not a hybrid, it cannot directly drive the car forward with an engine." Electric cars have the advantages of electric cars, but the disadvantage is that when cruising at high speed, the engine is more efficient, and the add-on program cannot use only the engine to move the car forward. Therefore, add programs are obsolete technologies. " Some netizens also thought, "although the add-on electric car lags behind, the sales of the DHT hybrid model are not much better!"

The "Tramway report" believes that no matter which technical route chosen by car companies has its own advantages and disadvantages, it is more important to take the lead in shaping product strength, verifying reliability, and giving full play to the greatest advantages in the route. As for whether or not to lag behind, the market will always give a fair ruling.
