New energy vehicle power classification

New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, and other new energy vehicles.

Pure electric car

Blade Electric Vehicles (BEV) is a kind of vehicle that uses a single battery as the energy storage power source. It uses the battery as the energy storage power source to supply electric energy to the motor through the battery to drive the motor to run, thus driving the car.

hybrid car

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) refers to a vehicle whose drive system is composed of two or more single drive trains that can run at the same time. The driving power of the vehicle is determined by the single drive system alone or multiple depending on the actual running state of the vehicle. The drive system is provided together. Hybrid vehicles come in many forms depending on the components, layout, and control strategy.

Fuel cell electric car

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) uses hydrogen and oxygen in the air under the action of a catalyst. An electric vehicle that is driven by an electrochemical reaction in a fuel cell as a main power source. Fuel cell electric vehicles are essentially one type of pure electric vehicles. The main difference is that the working principle of power batteries is different. In general, fuel cells convert chemical energy into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. Hydrogen is required for electrochemical reactions, and oxygen is used for oxidants. Therefore, most of the fuel cell electric vehicles developed at the earliest use hydrogen fuel directly. The hydrogen can be stored in the form of liquefied hydrogen, compressed hydrogen or metal hydride hydrogen storage.

Hydrogen engine car

A hydrogen engine car is a car powered by a hydrogen engine. The fuel used in general engines is diesel or gasoline, and the fuel used in hydrogen engines is gaseous hydrogen. Hydrogen engine car is a kind of vehicle that realizes zero emission. It emits pure water, which has the advantages of no pollution, zero emission and abundant reserves.

Other new energy vehicles

Other new energy vehicles include cars that use high-capacity energy storage devices such as supercapacitors and flywheels. At present, in China, new energy vehicles mainly refer to pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles. Conventional hybrid vehicles are classified as energy-saving vehicles.
