Ten Disadvantages of Extended Range Vehicles

Ten disadvantages of extended-range vehicles are high price, low efficiency, difficult maintenance, limited mileage, inferior dynamic response to traditional vehicles, limited interior space, loud noise in extended-range mode, heavy weight, long charging time and few models.

1, the price is higher.

Compared with traditional cars, the technology of extended-range cars is relatively new, and the core components such as batteries and motors used are expensive, which leads to the high price of the whole car and is not suitable for popularization.

2. The range expansion is inefficient.

The extended-range vehicle performs well in electric mode, but when the battery is insufficient, it needs to switch to hybrid mode, which involves the coordination of engine power output and electric energy utilization, which will lead to low efficiency of extended-range vehicle.

3. Maintenance is difficult.

The complex power system and electronic system of extended-range vehicles make it difficult to maintain. Once there is a problem, it needs professional technicians to repair it, and the cost is very high.

4. The mileage is limited

The endurance of the extended-range vehicle is extremely limited, so it needs to be recharged frequently or the extended-range system is used, otherwise it cannot meet the needs of long-distance travel.

5. The dynamic response is not as good as that of a traditional car.

Because the engine and motor of the extended-range car need to work, when it needs to accelerate or overtake quickly, the dynamic response is not as sensitive as that of the traditional car, which will affect the driving experience.

6. Limited interior space

In order to accommodate a large number of batteries, extended-range cars often need to be designed in the body and trunk, resulting in limited space in the car and unable to meet the needs of large families.

7. The extended range mode is noisy.

The extended-range vehicle needs to start the engine when using the extended-range system, and the working noise is loud, which will affect the comfort of the drivers and passengers.

8. heavyweight

The battery is the core weakness of the extended-range vehicle. Due to the limitation of battery cost and capacity, the weight of the battery is relatively large, and other complex power systems and electronic systems make the car heavier than the traditional car.

9. Long charging time

Compared with pure electric vehicles, extended-range vehicles need longer charging time and often need to refuel when using extended-range systems, resulting in higher vehicle costs.

10, fewer cars.

The manufacturers and brands of extended-range vehicles are limited, and there are few models to choose from at present, which cannot meet the individual needs of consumers.
