The left side of the interface shows the car’s remaining battery capacity and tire pressure, the right side shows the energy consumption display, the bottom right corner shows the total mileage and estimated range, and the middle of the screen shows the speed display and the assisted driving interface. The UI design of the car’s dashboard interface has also been hotly debated.

The so-called parallel PHEV is a plug-in hybrid, while the series REV is an extended-range hybrid. In this regard, some car bloggers commented and revealed that: Looking up U8 uses a four-motor range-extending hybrid system. Some netizens added that it seems that the U8 is a hardcore off-road vehicle with a large beam, and the front dual motors are staggered. If it is a direct drive, the structure will be very complicated, and it is really unnecessary, so the extended range has become the best. Excellent solution.

After that, Li Xiang spoke again, saying, “If BYD, Geely, and Changan, the top three car sales, all start to use extended range electric vehicles, a certain company’s marketing plan for extended range can be stopped, and save some money and get down to business.” At the same time, he added: “I didn’t target BYD. BYD has never belittled any technical routes. It is the company we respect the most.”

In addition, in Li Xiang’s view, considering the two most critical elements of ride comfort and energy consumption, he believes that front-wheel drive is most suitable for parallel connection (plug-in hybrid); four-wheel drive and rear drive, series (extended range hybrid) are more suitable Good choice.

As we all know, all of Li’s current products on sale use range-extending technology, and Li Xiang also confronted Great Wall CGO Li Ruifeng on the Internet due to the level of range-extending and hybrid technology. Li Xiang’s statement this time is to prove the correctness and forerunner of the Li car’s choice of the extended range route.

In August last year, Li Xiang said in the company’s second quarterly conference call: “The range-extender is an electric vehicle with a range extender added, and the PHEV is a fuel vehicle with a battery added. The essential difference… If you can’t figure it out, I don’t believe they can make a good product.”
