Recently, GAC Toyota has started to "do things" again.
At the GAC Toyota Open Day, Toyota staff directly "fired" at some domestic hybrid models, mocking their "large batteries, large capacity fuel tanks".
Then, it was called "making the fuel tank bigger is the routine, and making the battery small is the technology!" ”。
In addition, the battery capacity, fuel tank size, fuel consumption and other data of five domestic new energy vehicle companies, including BYD, Great Wall, SAIC, Changan, and Geely, were also compared.
Then, a conclusion was drawn that "the technology is superior, and the user experience has the final say".
For this logic, I really don't understand it, user experience, that naturally depends on sales, BYD's monthly user growth of more than 300,000, isn't it the best proof.
We do not deny Toyota's hybrid technology, with a particularly small battery, and then, mainly relying on the engine, can also achieve ultra-low fuel consumption, this technology really has nothing to say, it can be regarded as subversive.
Because, in general, the design idea of Toyota's hybrid technology is completely different from that of domestic hybrid models.
Toyota's hybrid design idea is that the power of the engine must be able to meet the use of electric motors.
For example, the Toyota Shuangqing hybrid system THS (ToyotaHybridSystem) used by Camry Shuangqing belongs to the hybrid x strong hybrid mode, using a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine + motor power combination, matched with E-CVT gearbox, internal combustion engine 178 horsepower, motor 120 horsepower, comprehensive power 218 horsepower.
This system combines the advantages of both the electric motor and the engine, and can be driven together and operated independently, which does not directly reduce the load on the engine like plug-in hybrids, but maximizes fuel efficiency.
Therefore, its battery can be very small, only one or two kilowatt-hours of electricity can be used, and due to the "balance of supply and demand", no matter what the situation, the engine can work in a high-efficiency state, so its essence is still a fuel vehicle, and there will be no "stall" problem.
Because, no matter how good your skills are, there is no way to violate the law of conservation of energy.
If there is a mismatch between the power of the engine and the electric motor, for example, the engine power is only 80 kW and the maximum power of the electric motor is 100 kW, then there may be a risk of stalling in some extreme situations, such as when the power of the power battery is about to run out, but the high power output of the motor is required (e.g., climbing hills, driving at high speeds).
Of course, the emergence of this limit case can be optimized through some technologies, and then it can be circumvented, for example, to increase the capacity of the power battery to more than 20 degrees.
Therefore, the strategy of domestic new energy hybrid vehicles, large batteries and large fuel tanks also has its own advantages.
For example, equipped with a power battery of more than 20 degrees, you can achieve a pure electric range of more than 200 kilometers, which is completely enough for daily transportation, and can also save fuel, and can be used for long distances, avoiding endurance anxiety.
However, Toyota's hybrid models are different, because the batteries are very small, only one or two kilowatt-hours of electricity, so they do not support charging at all, whether it is slow charging or fast charging.
In this case, no matter how fuel-efficient your powertrain is, it will definitely not be as fuel-efficient as other people's pure electricity.
Therefore, hybrid models, Toyota hybrid and domestic hybrid models, have different design ideas, take completely different technical routes, and of course, the target user groups are also different.
In terms of "the deep integration of oil and electricity, it is true that Toyota Hybrid does a better job", but so what?
For consumers, they may not be able to recognize, after all, they buy a car, will be based on their actual needs, most people, may not care about your hybrid technology at all, buy a model like Toyota hybrid, it is better to buy a fuel car directly.
Because, Toyota's engine is more reliable and durable, and most importantly, it is also very fuel-efficient, so why choose a more complex, more expensive, and more expensive hybrid car in order to save so much fuel?
Anyway, it can't be charged, so it's better to buy a fuel car directly.
I think this is also the main reason why domestic hybrid models are more recognized by consumers.
Finally, let's break down a little bit about the big fuel tank.
Qin L DM-i since its listing, with a range of 2100 kilometers shook the entire automotive industry, and then, is a variety of endurance tests, of course, there are many people who take this opportunity to "smear" BYD Qin L, what do you say a new energy vehicle, why do you want to carry a 65L large fuel tank?
In fact, this kind of smear is completely unnecessary, we can compare other B-class cars in the same class, let's put aside what hybrid is not hybrid, and then see whether the Qin L is really fuel-efficient, or whether the long range relies on a large fuel tank to achieve.
Ethereal, fuel tank 56L, range of about 800 kilometers;
Accord, fuel tank 56L, range of about 800 km;
Camry, fuel tank 60L, range of about 900 km;
Asian Dragon, fuel tank 60L, range of about 800 km;
Passat, fuel tank 68.5L, range of about 1100 km;
Magotan, fuel tank 66L, range of about 1000 km;
秦L DM-i，65L，续航2100公里左右。
See? The fuel tank of the Qin L is not much larger than these B-class cars, and even smaller than the Passat and Magotan, but the range is twice as long, reaching 2,100 kilometers.
Therefore, the long battery life of Qin L DM-i is not achieved by a large fuel tank, and now the information is very transparent, and all car parameters can be queried, I don't know why so many people are staring at Qin L's fuel tank.
If you have the ability, you can also carry a 65L fuel tank, and then achieve a range of 2000 kilometers.
