The driving skills for plug-in hybrid vehicles are as follows:
1. Mode selection and power management: Choose the appropriate driving mode in different driving scenarios. For example, when driving on highways, it is recommended to choose Normal or Sport mode to balance power and driving comfort, while better controlling fuel consumption. Manage battery level. If the battery is charged but not fully charged, before long-distance high-speed driving, it can be considered to force the battery to a certain level to ensure that there is still enough power for city road driving after getting off the highway. However, in a state of power loss, it is recommended to intelligently maintain power to a lower level to avoid forced power maintenance leading to increased fuel consumption.
2. Speed control and driving habits: When driving on highways, try to maintain a constant speed. It is recommended to control the speed between 100-110km/h, which can not only save fuel but also reduce engine noise. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking to reduce energy waste. When accelerating, prioritize using the accelerator instead of the brake to avoid unnecessary energy consumption. If the vehicle is equipped with a cruise control system, this function can be activated while driving on highways to maintain a stable speed, reduce the frequency of acceleration and deceleration, and thus improve fuel economy.
3. Route planning and charging management: Utilize the vehicle's navigation system or other intelligent functions to optimize the driving route, avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking, and thereby reduce energy consumption. If you plan to drive on highways for a long time, it is recommended to plan the location of the charging station in advance and charge the battery if necessary to ensure sufficient energy reserves when continuing to drive. Understand and familiarize oneself with the specific functions and settings of the vehicle, such as energy-saving mode, in order to flexibly adjust according to the actual situation during driving, in order to maximize fuel efficiency and battery life.
