AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/24 Report--

Foreign media insideevs reported that the production of the Chevrolet plug-in hybrid Volanda stopped ahead of schedule, and the initial official news was that it would stop production in March 2019, but in the end Chevrolet moved up the time node. It is worth noting that the Volanda can be said to be the ancestor of the hybrid model, but at present, there are not many models using the hybrid, and the suspension of Volanda has caused people to think about this form of power.

What is an add-on electric car? Based on the pure electric vehicle, the add-on electric vehicle is equipped with a small auxiliary generator set to charge the battery when the battery is low. To put it simply, both EVs and EVs are driven by motors, but EVs have a small auxiliary generator set, that is, "range enhancers", so long mileage is the biggest advantage of EVs.

The Chevrolet Volanda was born in January 2007 and was officially launched in 2010, when the Volterra was supposed to be the only model available on the market with an added hybrid system, but nine years later, due to poor market performance and substandard sales, the Volanda has stopped production, with figures showing that it sold 148556 vehicles in the United States from January to October last year.

Last year, GM announced that it would close several plants in 2019, including the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant, which makes Volanda. However, the suspension of the Chevrolet Vollanda does not mean that GM has stopped in this new energy field, and the technology platform is likely to be used in other GM models in the future.

In China, the car and Home ideal ONE also use an incremental power system, which claims to have the strongest extended range electric technology in the world, with a comprehensive range of more than 700km, urban range of more than 1000 km, and mileage of more than 180km in pure electric mode that does not rely on range enhancers. The new car was officially launched on October 18 last year and will be ordered in April this year, followed by formal delivery in the fourth quarter, with a subsidised price of less than 400000.
