helped Dao Dan to purchase a second-hand luxury version of Passat New Energy (Pasat PHEV) with a 20,000-kilometer license plate in 2021 and repainted metal surfaces. The price is only 160,000, which is cheaper than the gasoline luxury version of the same year and similar condition.
Why are you obsessed with this Passat PHEV?
During our chat, we roughly understood the reason why he was obsessed with the Passat PHEV. I made a rough summary, and the answer is very interesting:
1. Although it is pure electric, its actual cruising range is only about 50 kilometers. At most, it can only travel to work and buy groceries, but it can't be farther away. However, it exploits the loopholes of new energy and can be green-labelled, and the number is not limited. The green-labeled car can satisfy its energy-saving and environmentally friendly image.
2. The new Passat PHEV he just bought last year was accidentally hit and scrapped. Fortunately, he was not injured at all and has some confidence in the safety of the car. It was time to go home for the Chinese New Year soon. In order not to worry my family, I didn’t tell them about the car being hit and scrapped. If I bought a similar one and drove it back, my family wouldn’t suspect it.
3. Volkswagen’s plug-in hybrid system is mainly composed of a 1.4TSI engine, a DQ400e dual-clutch gearbox with integrated motor, and an integrated electronically controlled battery module. The combined maximum power is 155 kilowatts, and the combined maximum torque is 2400 Nm. It has better data than the fuel version of the Passat 330TSI, and the driving power is also good.
4. This car uses electricity in the city, but it is good to have fuel for long trips. Even if it cannot be charged, the overall fuel consumption is still lower than the fuel version.
5. I have also thought about buying a new energy pure electric vehicle, but recent incidents of explosions and fires of electric vehicles have occurred frequently in China, and the public's doubts about battery safety have continued to amplify. In fact, I feel that this is currently a balance issue between the major power battery manufacturers pursuing long vehicle battery life, high battery energy density and safety. I believe it can be improved in the future. It's just that Island Bomb can't afford to wait now, nor does it want to wait, because no one knows when this balance will be achieved.
Of course, the shortcomings of plug-in hybrids are also obvious. For example, the cruising range is too short. Only when charging is convenient, plug-in hybrid models can achieve better energy-saving effects when the battery is charged. However, the current charging convenience is still not good enough, and because of the short cruising range, the frequency of charging will be higher. Of course, there is also the later maintenance of battery loss, etc.
Let’s imagine the future here. If one day, pure electric vehicles generally have longer battery life than fuel vehicles or even have more mileage, and charging is convenient enough, the automobile market may undergo huge changes. Are you ready?
Passat PHEV is a model modified based on Passat . The official pure electric cruising range is 63km. The overall design of the new car is basically the same as that of Passat, but there are some differences in details.
Passat PHEV has pure electric mode, hybrid mode and GTE mode. The hybrid mode is divided into three modes: hybrid mode, battery maintenance mode and battery charging mode. In the hybrid mode, lightly press the accelerator pedal and , which will be driven by electricity. The engine will only intervene when you press the accelerator pedal deeply.
When the battery maintenance mode is selected, the engine will intervene. At this time, the vehicle will try its best to protect the battery power from being consumed and mainly rely on the engine to drive the vehicle. This mode is mainly used for high-speed driving, because at this time the engine can maintain a low energy consumption output for a long time, so the engine can be run as much as possible to retain the power. Only after reaching congested urban road conditions will there be enough power to meet the vehicle's pure electric or hybrid mode driving needs.
When remaining in the battery charging mode, the engine will forcefully charge the power battery. At this time, the engine noise will increase, and the engine energy consumption will increase. Therefore, this mode is mainly used in emergencies. Normally, the power battery needs to be charged using the external power supply .
GTE mode, the engine and motor will drive the vehicle at the same time. In this mode, the engine will be working even if you lightly press the accelerator pedal. At the same time, the accelerator pedal will be more sensitive, and the vehicle's acceleration capability will be better.
