Why is adding a program a joke?

Because the extended-range vehicle is an outdated technology.

Extended-range car, as its name implies, is a kind of car that adds an engine as a generator to charge the battery pack on the basis of pure electric car, thus extending the cruising range. This kind of car sounds perfect, which can not only enjoy the advantages of pure electric vehicle, such as stability, quietness, energy saving and environmental protection, but also solve the shortcomings of pure electric vehicle, such as battery life anxiety and inconvenient charging. Although the extended-range vehicle looks advanced, it is actually a transitional technical scheme.

With the development of battery technology and the popularization of charging facilities, the cruising range of electric vehicles will become longer and longer, the charging time will become shorter and shorter, and the advantages of extended-range vehicles will become smaller and smaller. Moreover, due to the complex structure and heavy weight, there are some hidden dangers in performance, safety and reliability of the extended-range vehicle. Extended-range car is not the future development direction, but an outdated technology. Therefore, it is not surprising that extended-range vehicles are always "jokes".

Brief introduction of extended-range automobile

Because the extended-range vehicle is neither a pure hybrid vehicle nor a pure electric vehicle, it is in between, so it wants to take into account the advantages of both and has to bear the disadvantages of both. For users of hybrid electric vehicles, the battery life of extended-range vehicles is too short to meet their energy-saving and environmental protection needs; For users of electric vehicles, the fuel consumption of extended-range vehicles is too high to meet their performance and economic needs.

Although the extended-range vehicle looks like a new energy vehicle on the surface, it has not really got rid of its dependence on oil resources. It still needs to consume fuel and emit harmful gases. This practice not only violates the original intention of developing new energy vehicles, but also violates the expectations of society for energy conservation, emission reduction, environmental protection and transformation and development. Therefore, the extended-range vehicle does not really realize the values of new energy vehicles, but is a self-deception, perfunctory and opportunistic approach.
