Hi,
I just heard a friend mentioned about Chery will launch its PHEV Car instead of EV only! And be said PHEV is best & better than EV only. True and how best? Any PHEV users around to share some experiences and its Pros & Cons? Thanks 😊 |

QUOTE(slaveone @ Oct 11 2023, 09:07 PM) Cons Does the PHEV ICE engine exactly the same as ICE's? PHEV still got engine that need to be maintained Need to charge the battery every time, else you're carrying extra weight and not getting the mileage benefit. Pros Can lessen the visit to fuel station if your daily drive is using the batteries only. Cheaper charging cost if charge at home compared to public chargers  QUOTE(kkkw80 @ Oct 11 2023, 11:01 PM) Using 530e PHEV for 5 years now, love it. At least no anxiety over low battery Wow... thanks for the confident answer!As everyone concerned, how's the maintenance cost? Other than the battery life span, how about the maintenance cost for ICE Parts? Like a normal ICE Engine to service every 5000km, gear oil, water pump etc? Your practical experience of sharing is appreciated 🙏🏼 PHEV Really has the range of 800km - 1000km? Have you travel outstation? QUOTE(geforce88 @ Oct 11 2023, 11:11 PM) i got 2 friends with PHEV, newly bought very rajin can charge almost every night even though not convenient (one stay condo, another one stay kampung house). Haha... does it mean finally they sold? after few months, none of them bother to charge anymore. IMHO those older hybrids like Camry, Civic, Prius etc are much better. QUOTE(Pugbunny @ Oct 12 2023, 08:20 AM) Why not just go for hybrid Hybrid Petrol 1st and like x90 40km below only kicked in battery. And PHEV Battery 1st, so it's an "EV" like car but got back up Petrol (correct me if I'm wrong 😬)QUOTE(dev/numb @ Oct 12 2023, 11:55 PM) A PHEVs only makes sense if your daily mileage is within its electric range limit and you have the capability to charge it at home every day, preferably with your home at least partially powered by solar energy. If you fail to meet these requirements, regular HEVs will make far more economic sense. A lot of Hybrid users mentioned, Hybrid Car just like a Petrol Car, cause most of the time are running Engine (after 40km or 60km). So,it carries a big battery for back up. True? |
