After reading the speech of Peng Baolin, deputy general manager of GAC Toyota, at the GAC Toyota "Science and Technology Open Day" event a few days ago, Bo Ge had to sigh that GAC Toyota really does not understand Chinese consumers......

Generally speaking, the focus of Peng Baolin's speech is that Toyota's hybrid technology is the strongest in the world, the lowest real fuel consumption, and more advanced than the plug-in hybrid technology of some domestic car companies. Why do you have to get together to buy BYD, which likes to brag?

First of all, Bogo's attitude is true, as Peng Baolin said, Toyota's hybrid technology is the strongest in the world, and the real fuel consumption is the lowest, there is no doubt about it.

We have counted the fuel consumption data of car owners, the average fuel consumption of the two-wheel drive Toyota hybrid Veranda is 5.39 liters per 100 kilometers, while the BYD Song PLUS DM-i in the same period has a fuel consumption of 6.14 liters per 100 kilometers. Toyota's real fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 0.75 liters lower. With a liter of gasoline for 8 yuan and a run of 15,000 kilometers a year, the hybrid Veranda can save 900 yuan a year compared to the BYD Song PLUS DM-i.

But Peng Baolin ignored a problem, BYD Song PLUS DM-i can be charged with pure electric driving, taking Boge's own BYD Song PLUS DM-i as an example, it has traveled more than 26,000 kilometers, and a total of less than 10 tanks of fuel have been used; Urban travel is basically pure electric driving, because it is charged at home at night, so 0.3 yuan per kilowatt-hour, only 5 cents per kilometer under pure electric driving conditions.

Therefore, 553.7 liters of oil is calculated at 8 yuan per liter, which is equivalent to 4430 yuan, and 3015.8 kilowatt-hours of electricity is calculated at 0.6 yuan per kilowatt-hour - after all, Boge occasionally uses direct current of 1.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour outside, which is 1800 yuan, and the total cost of oil and electricity is 6230 yuan, divided by the total mileage of 26417, which is 0.24 yuan per kilometer.

As we said before, the two-wheel drive Toyota hybrid Veranda, the average fuel consumption of the owner is 5.39 liters per 100 kilometers, and the driving cost per kilometer is calculated at 8 yuan per liter, and the driving cost per kilometer should reach 0.44 yuan, so the final result is that although the BYD Song PLUS DM-i is not as fuel-efficient as the hybrid Veranda, it must save money than the hybrid Veranda.

It's true that BYD likes to brag, but do you think consumers will believe BYD's 2.9-liter fuel consumption per 100 kilometers? BYD sells well, and it is by no means relying on bragging. GAC Toyota saves money by comparing hybrid and plug-in hybrid, how do you compare?

Someone said that Toyota also has plug-in hybrids, but do you know how badly plug-in hybrids Weilander sells? We have counted the big data of car owners, and in the Veranda family, the total historical sales of plug-in hybrid Wilander account for less than 2%.

There are two main reasons for poor sales, the first is that the price is too high, taking the Shanghai market as an example, the current BMW i3 has dropped to 170,000, and the terminal price of the two-wheel drive plug-in hybrid Weilander is actually 262,800 yuan, only 5,000 yuan discount, which is called Huazi?

The second point is that none of Toyota's plug-in hybrid models support DC fast charging. In China, limited by the fixed parking space and the load of the power capacity of the community, two-thirds of the plug-in hybrid car owners are unable to enjoy the charging discount of 3 cents per kilowatt-hour at night, and they can only choose fast charging piles to supplement the energy. For this part of consumers, Toyota plug-in hybrid cars that do not support fast charging are not as good as hybrid vehicles! Toyota's vision has been unable to keep up with the development of the Chinese market.

If you don't understand the suffering of the people, you will say why not eat minced meat. Therefore, Peng Baolin might as well think about it, why is the more technologically advanced Toyota minced meat suddenly not fragrant?

However, Peng Baolin opposes the idea of a large fuel tank, I agree, the fuel tank will crowd out space, just imagine, if the BYD Song PLUS DM-i fuel tank is reduced by 20 liters, the electrical system under the trunk floor can be moved under the seat, leaving room for a spare tire.

After all, sealant can only make up for air leaks, not punctures, and it will also corrode tires. And in Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang, there is no signal in some places, even if there is a signal, it is not uncommon to call a rescue trailer for two days, so for riders who like long-distance self-driving tours, a spare tire is a must.
