In traditional solutions, hub motors generate a lot of heat during driving and braking deceleration. Within the confined space of the wheels, insufficient cooling can easily occur, leading to overheating of the motors inside the vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Further, the step of performing coordinated braking control on the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly includes:

[0008] Determine the relationship between the first remaining charge value of the power battery and the first remaining charge threshold.

[0009] When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the first remaining charge threshold, the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly are subjected to coordinated braking control based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly. The electric braking energy generated during the coordinated braking control is recovered and charged to the power battery.

[0010] Furthermore, after determining the relationship between the first remaining charge value of the power battery and the first remaining charge threshold, the method further includes:

[0011] When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is higher than the first remaining charge threshold, the wheel hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly are subjected to coordinated braking control based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the motor of the distributed electric drive assembly, and the electric braking energy generated during the coordinated braking control is consumed by the vehicle energy-consuming components.

[0012] or;

[0013] When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is higher than the first remaining charge threshold, mechanical braking is performed only.

[0081] It should be noted that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two power systems of range-extended four-wheel independent drive vehicles used in the embodiments of this application have been described, but the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto and are not specifically limited.

[0082] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the two hub motors are arranged at the front, and the distributed electric drive assembly is arranged at the rear. Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is one possible scenario; another is that the distributed electric drive assembly is positioned at the front, with the two hub motors positioned at the rear, without any specific limitations.

[0083] In range-extended four-wheel independent drive vehicles, by controlling the working states of engine 1, generator 2, first hub motor 21, second hub motor 22, first drive motor 23 and second drive motor 24, various working modes can be achieved, including P-gear parking and power generation, dual-motor pure electric drive of hub motors, dual-motor pure electric drive of distributed electric drive assembly, four-wheel independent pure electric drive, range-extended hub motor dual-motor drive, range-extended distributed electric drive assembly dual-motor drive, range-extended four-wheel independent drive, and brake energy recovery mode. The switching of the above working modes can be determined by comprehensively acquiring parameters such as the accelerator pedal opening value, the remaining power charge value (SOC) of the power battery, the vehicle speed, the brake pedal depth value, and the motor stator temperature value.

[0084] For example, the control of the above multiple modes is illustrated in the table below:

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] Based on the above-mentioned four-wheel independent drive vehicle, this application provides a four-wheel independent drive vehicle control method, which will be described in detail below.

[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, a four-wheel independent drive vehicle control method is provided, applied to the vehicle drive power system. The method includes:

[0089] S10A: Determines whether the vehicle is in a braking and deceleration state;

[0090] S20A: When the vehicle is in braking and deceleration condition, obtain the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the motor of the distributed electric drive assembly;

[0091] S30A: Based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly, perform coordinated braking control on the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly.

[0092] In this embodiment, whether the vehicle is in a braking deceleration condition can be determined by acquiring the brake pedal depth. For example, the brake pedal depth signal value is acquired; if the brake pedal depth signal value is greater than 0, the vehicle is determined to be in a braking deceleration condition; otherwise, the vehicle is determined not to be in a braking deceleration condition. When the vehicle is in a braking deceleration condition, the stator temperature values ​​of the hub motor and the motor stator temperature values ​​of the distributed electric drive assembly are acquired.

[0093] In the embodiments of this application and subsequent embodiments, the two hub motors are arranged at the front, and the distributed electric drive assembly is arranged at the rear. Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is one possible scenario; another is that the distributed electric drive assembly is positioned at the front, with the two hub motors positioned at the rear. The specific configuration is not limited, and subsequent embodiments will include both scenarios, which will not be elaborated upon further. Figure 1 or Figure 2 For example, the stator temperature value of the hub motor includes the stator temperature of either the first hub motor or the second hub motor, while the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly refers to the stator temperature of either the first drive motor or the second drive motor. These stator temperature values ​​can be acquired via sensors. During braking and deceleration, in this embodiment, coordinated braking control is performed on the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly based on the aforementioned stator temperature values ​​of the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly.

[0094] As can be seen, this application provides a control method for a four-wheel independent drive vehicle. For a four-wheel independent drive vehicle, under braking and deceleration conditions, the wheel hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly are controlled in a coordinated manner for braking based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly. This can improve the problem of overheating of the motor during long-term electric braking in a four-wheel independent drive vehicle and effectively avoid the problem of motor overheating and demagnetization.

[0095] It should be noted that in this embodiment, under braking and deceleration conditions, the embodiment of this application will also obtain the first remaining power of the power battery, and perform electric braking energy control and electric braking energy consumption control based on the relationship between the first remaining power of the power battery and the first remaining power threshold.

[0096] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a four-wheel independent drive vehicle control method is provided, the method comprising:

[0097] S10B: Determine whether the vehicle is in a braking and deceleration condition;

[0098] S20B: When the vehicle is in a braking and deceleration condition, acquire the first remaining charge value of the power battery, the stator temperature value of the hub motor, and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly.

[0099] S30B: Determine the relationship between the first remaining power value of the power battery and the first remaining power threshold;

[0100] S40B: When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the first remaining charge threshold, the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly are subjected to coordinated braking control based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly, and the electric braking energy generated during the coordinated braking control is recovered and charged to the power battery.

[0101] S50B: When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is higher than the first remaining charge threshold, the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly are subjected to coordinated braking control based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly, and the electric braking energy generated during the coordinated braking control is consumed by the vehicle's energy-consuming components.

[0102] In this embodiment, similar explanations can be found in the foregoing embodiments. The first remaining charge value of the power battery represents the remaining charge (State of Charge, SOC) of the power battery acquired in real time during braking and deceleration, also known as the state of charge of the power battery. For ease of distinction, it is referred to here as the first remaining charge value. For example, the stator temperature value of the hub motor includes the stator temperature of either the first hub motor or the second hub motor, or it can be the average temperature of the two. The stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly refers to the stator temperature of either the first drive motor or the second drive motor, or it can be the average temperature of the two. The aforementioned stator temperature values ​​can also be acquired using sensors.

[0103] In this embodiment, after obtaining the first remaining charge value of the power battery, the relationship between the first remaining charge value and the first remaining charge threshold is determined, which is divided into two cases: one is electric braking energy recovery, and the other is electric braking energy consumption. When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the first remaining charge threshold, it indicates that the power battery is allowed to perform braking energy recovery charging. At this time, the electric braking energy generated by the power battery is selected for recovery. During this process, the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly are coordinated for braking control based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly. The electric braking energy generated during the coordinated braking control is then recovered and charged to the power battery. When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is higher than the first remaining charge threshold, it indicates that the power battery is not allowed to perform braking energy recovery charging. In this case, the electric braking energy generated during the coordinated braking control is consumed by the vehicle's energy-consuming components.

[0104] As can be seen, in this embodiment of the application, in a four-wheel independent drive vehicle, when the power battery is allowed to charge during braking and deceleration, the wheel hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly are controlled to perform coordinated braking and recover or dissipate energy based on the stator temperature values ​​of the wheel hub motor and the stator temperature values ​​of the distributed electric drive assembly. This not only improves the problem of overheating of the motor during prolonged electric braking in four-wheel independent drive vehicles and effectively avoids motor overheating and demagnetization, but also improves energy utilization or simplifies the design of the wheel hub motor's cooling system by recovering or dissipating the electric braking energy. Moreover, when charging is not possible, the energy can be consumed in time, effectively preventing energy accumulation and overheating.

[0105] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the method of utilizing vehicle energy-consuming components to consume the electric braking energy generated during the coordinated braking control includes: using the generator of the vehicle range extender as a motor to tow the engine while it idles to consume the electric braking energy generated during the coordinated braking control. This embodiment ensures the effective consumption of electric braking energy. Of course, besides using the vehicle range extender as a vehicle energy-consuming component, other energy-consuming components can also be used, and there is no specific limitation.

[0106] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a four-wheel independent drive vehicle control method is provided, the method comprising:

[0107] S10C: Determines whether the vehicle is in a braking and deceleration state;

[0108] S20C: When the vehicle is in a braking and deceleration condition, acquire the first remaining charge value of the power battery, the stator temperature value of the hub motor, and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly.

[0109] S30C: Determine the relationship between the first remaining power value of the power battery and the first remaining power threshold;

[0110] S40C: When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the first remaining charge threshold, the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly are subjected to coordinated braking control based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly, and the electric braking energy generated during the coordinated braking control is recovered and charged to the power battery.

[0111] S50C: When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is higher than the first remaining charge threshold, mechanical braking is performed only by mechanical braking.

[0112] In this embodiment, the explanation can be found in the foregoing embodiment. The difference from the foregoing embodiment is that when the first remaining charge value of the power battery is higher than the first remaining charge threshold, the power battery is not allowed to perform regenerative braking. Instead, it directly adopts fully mechanical braking. The difference is that it no longer uses energy-consuming components for energy dissipation.

[0113] As can be seen, in the embodiments of this application, in a four-wheel independent drive vehicle, when the power battery is allowed to charge during braking and deceleration, the wheel hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly are controlled to perform coordinated braking and recover energy or replace mechanical braking based on the stator temperature values ​​of the wheel hub motor and the stator temperature values ​​of the distributed electric drive assembly. This not only improves the problem of overheating of the motor during prolonged electric braking in four-wheel independent drive vehicles and effectively avoids motor overheating and demagnetization, but also improves energy utilization and effectively reduces the excessive electric braking energy that has nowhere to be released during this time, since energy is recovered or mechanical braking is directly used.

[0114] In the above embodiments, the process of coordinating braking control of the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly is involved. The following embodiments provide specific coordination methods for the above-mentioned coordination control, which will be described in detail below.

[0115] In one embodiment, in conjunction with the above embodiments, the step of performing coordinated braking control on the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly based on the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly includes:

[0116] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is less than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is less than the second temperature threshold, the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly are controlled to perform electric braking simultaneously. Since the stator temperatures of both the front and rear motors are low, there is no overheating in either motor, so both can perform electric braking simultaneously to ensure braking effect.

[0117] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is greater than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is less than the second temperature threshold, the electric braking torque of the hub motor is controlled to be less than the first preset torque threshold, and the distributed electric drive assembly is controlled to perform electric braking. Since the stator temperature of the hub motor is too high and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is too low, the hub motor may overheat, while the motor of the distributed electric drive assembly does not overheat. Therefore, the electric braking torque of the hub motor is made smaller to effectively avoid overheating or exacerbating overheating of the hub motor.

[0118] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is less than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is greater than the second temperature threshold, the electric braking torque of the distributed electric drive assembly is controlled to be less than the second preset torque threshold, and the hub motor is controlled to perform electric braking. Since the stator temperature of the hub motor is lower and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is higher, the motor of the distributed electric drive assembly may overheat, while the hub motor does not overheat. Therefore, the electric braking torque of the distributed electric drive assembly is made smaller to effectively avoid overheating or exacerbating overheating of the motor of the distributed electric drive assembly.

[0119] When the stator temperature of the hub motor exceeds the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly exceeds the second temperature threshold, the electric braking torque of the hub motor is controlled to be less than a third preset torque threshold, and the electric braking torque of the distributed electric drive assembly is controlled to be less than a fourth preset torque threshold. Because both the hub motor stator temperature and the distributed electric drive assembly stator temperature are high, overheating may occur in both motors. Therefore, reducing the electric braking torque of both motors effectively prevents overheating or exacerbates overheating in either motor.

[0120] It should be noted that the first and second temperature thresholds can be obtained through calibration and are not specifically limited; similarly, the first, second, third, and fourth preset torque thresholds are also calibration values ​​or empirical values, and are not specifically limited. Furthermore, controlling the hub motors to perform electric braking refers to controlling the first and second hub motors to perform electric braking; controlling the distributed electric drive assembly to perform electric braking refers to controlling the first and second drive motors to perform electric braking.

[0121] As can be seen, this embodiment provides a specific method for coordinated braking control of the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly. Different braking control strategies are adopted under different motor stator temperatures, and control under different motor stator temperatures can bring corresponding benefits, as mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0122] In one embodiment, in conjunction with the above embodiments, controlling the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly to simultaneously perform electric braking includes: controlling the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly to simultaneously perform electric braking, and distributing the magnitude of their electric braking torque among the four motors according to the principle of optimal efficiency. The four motors include two hub motors and two distributed drive motors. Therefore, in this embodiment, when both front and rear motors are not overheating during simultaneous braking, distributing the braking efficiency among the four motors according to the principle of optimal efficiency can maximize braking efficiency.

[0123] In one embodiment, controlling the electric braking torque of the hub motor to be less than a first preset torque threshold and controlling the distributed electric drive assembly to perform electric braking includes: controlling the electric braking torque of the hub motor to be zero, using only the distributed electric drive assembly for electric braking, and supplementing the torque through mechanical braking when the electric braking torque of the distributed electric drive assembly is insufficient. In this embodiment, the front motor may overheat, while the rear motor does not. Therefore, the electric braking torque of the hub motor can be directly set to zero, and only the distributed electric drive assembly can be used for electric braking, directly preventing or alleviating overheating of the hub motor.

[0124] In one embodiment, controlling the electric braking torque of the distributed electric drive assembly to be less than a second preset torque threshold and controlling the hub motor to perform electric braking includes: controlling the electric braking torque of the distributed electric drive assembly to be zero, using only the hub motor for electric braking, and supplementing the torque through mechanical braking when the electric braking torque of the hub motor is insufficient. In this embodiment, the rear motor may overheat, while the front motor does not. Therefore, the electric braking torque of the distributed electric drive assembly can be directly set to zero, using only the hub motor for electric braking, directly preventing or mitigating overheating of the distributed electric drive assembly.

[0125] In one embodiment, controlling the electric braking torque of the hub motor to be less than a third preset torque threshold and controlling the electric braking torque of the distributed electric drive assembly to be less than a fourth preset torque threshold includes: controlling the electric braking torque of the hub motor to be zero and controlling the electric braking torque of the distributed electric drive assembly to be zero, braking only through mechanical braking. In this embodiment, since both the front and rear motors may overheat, the electric braking torques of the distributed electric drive assembly and the hub motor can be directly set to zero, using only mechanical braking, directly preventing or alleviating overheating of the distributed electric drive assembly and the hub motor.

[0126] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application mainly divide the situation into two cases: one where regenerative braking is allowed and the other where regenerative braking is not allowed, based on the first remaining charge of the power battery, the stator temperature of the hub motor, and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly. The following is based on the aforementioned embodiments, combined with these two cases and the appendix. Figure 6-8 The following descriptions are presented from two perspectives, taking into account the complete embodiments.

[0127] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6-7 The two flowcharts illustrate a method for controlling a four-wheel independent drive vehicle, including:

[0130] Determine whether the first remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the first remaining charge threshold;

[0131] When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the first remaining charge threshold, it is determined that the power battery is allowed to regenerate electric braking energy for charging, and the power battery is selected to regenerate electric braking energy, including:

[0132] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is less than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is less than the second temperature threshold, both the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly participate in electric braking and recover electric braking energy; the magnitude of the electric braking torque is allocated according to the principle of optimal efficiency.

[0133] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is greater than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is less than the second temperature threshold, only the distributed electric drive assembly performs electric braking and recovers electric braking energy.

[0134] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is less than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the motor of the distributed electric drive assembly is greater than the second temperature threshold, only the hub motor performs electric braking and recovers electric braking energy.

[0135] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is greater than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is greater than the second temperature threshold, then full mechanical braking is applied.

[0136] When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the first remaining charge threshold, it is determined that the power battery is not allowed to be charged by electric braking energy recovery. The range extender is selected as the energy-consuming component to recover electric braking energy, including:

[0137] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is less than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is less than the second temperature threshold, both the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly participate in electric braking; the magnitude of the electric braking torque is allocated according to the principle of optimal efficiency.

[0138] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is greater than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is less than the second temperature threshold, only the distributed electric drive assembly performs electric braking.

[0139] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is less than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the motor of the distributed electric drive assembly is greater than the second temperature threshold, only the hub motor performs electric braking.

[0140] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is greater than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is greater than the second temperature threshold, then full mechanical braking is applied.

[0141] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown in the flowchart, a four-wheel independent drive vehicle control method is provided, including:

[0142] Determine whether the vehicle is in a braking or deceleration state;

[0143] When the vehicle is in braking and deceleration condition, the first remaining charge value of the power battery, the stator temperature value of the hub motor and the stator temperature value of the distributed electric drive assembly are obtained.

[0144] Determine whether the first remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the first remaining charge threshold;

[0145] When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the first remaining charge threshold, it is determined that the power battery is allowed to regenerate electric braking energy for charging, and the power battery is selected to regenerate electric braking energy, including:

[0146] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is less than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is less than the second temperature threshold, both the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly participate in electric braking and recover electric braking energy; the magnitude of the electric braking torque is allocated according to the principle of optimal efficiency.

[0147] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is greater than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is less than the second temperature threshold, only the distributed electric drive assembly performs electric braking and recovers electric braking energy.

[0148] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is less than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the motor of the distributed electric drive assembly is greater than the second temperature threshold, only the hub motor performs electric braking and recovers electric braking energy.

[0149] When the stator temperature of the hub motor is greater than the first temperature threshold and the stator temperature of the distributed electric drive assembly is greater than the second temperature threshold, then full mechanical braking is applied.

[0150] When the first remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the first remaining charge threshold, mechanical braking is used entirely.

[0151] It should be noted that the above embodiments describe the relevant control under braking and deceleration conditions. In this application embodiment, the following four-wheel independent drive vehicle control method is also provided, which are described below.

[0152] In one embodiment, a four-wheel independent drive vehicle control method is provided, applied to a vehicle drive power system, including:

[0153] S101: When the vehicle is in P gear parking mode and in Key on or Ready mode, obtain the second remaining power value of the power battery;

[0154] S102: When the second remaining charge value of the power battery is lower than the second remaining charge threshold, the generator of the vehicle range extender is controlled to start the engine, and after the engine starts, it runs in the lowest fuel consumption range and drives the generator of the vehicle range extender to charge the power battery.

[0155] S103: When the second remaining charge value of the power battery is higher than the second remaining charge threshold, the engine is turned off and the generator of the vehicle range extender is controlled to stop charging the power battery.

[0156] The remaining battery charge value is recorded as the second remaining charge value when the vehicle is in Park (P) mode and in either Key-on or Ready mode. In this embodiment, when the vehicle is in Park (P) mode, the four-wheel independent drive vehicle can start the engine using the generator of the vehicle's range extender. After starting, the engine operates in the lowest fuel consumption range and drives the generator of the vehicle's range extender to charge the battery, thus achieving charging while parked. When the battery charge is high, charging is discontinued to reduce energy consumption.

[0157] In one embodiment, a four-wheel independent drive vehicle control method is provided, applied to a vehicle drive power system, including:

[0158] S201: When the vehicle is in D gear driving mode, obtain the third remaining power value of the power battery;

[0159] S202: When the third remaining charge of the power battery is higher than the third remaining charge threshold, the vehicle is controlled to operate in pure electric drive mode, wherein the driving torque of the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly is distributed front and rear according to the principle of optimal efficiency.

[0160] S203: When the third remaining charge of the power battery is lower than the third remaining charge threshold, the engine of the vehicle range extender is started to enter the range extender drive mode to decouple the relationship between the engine speed and the vehicle speed; or, all the electricity generated by the vehicle is given to the drive motor to drive the vehicle, and the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly drive the vehicle simultaneously, wherein the magnitude of the driving torque is distributed front and rear according to the principle of optimal efficiency.

[0161] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is in D-gear driving mode, by acquiring parameters such as accelerator pedal opening value, third remaining power value of power battery, vehicle speed value, brake pedal depth value, motor stator temperature value, etc., a comprehensive judgment is made on the state that each component can operate in the optimal working range, and the vehicle is controlled in the best working mode to obtain the best performance.

[0162] Specifically, when the third remaining charge of the power battery is higher than the third remaining charge threshold, the vehicle is controlled to operate in pure electric drive mode. Considering that the vehicle needs to have a certain pure electric driving range, the vehicle is controlled to operate in pure electric drive mode. The driving torque of the hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly is distributed front and rear according to the principle of optimal efficiency to improve the driving efficiency of pure electric drive mode.

[0163] In addition, when the remaining charge of the power battery is lower than the third remaining charge threshold, the power battery is insufficient, and the engine should be started to enter the range-extended drive mode. By decoupling the relationship between engine speed and vehicle speed, the engine speed is increased, so that the engine can output as much power as possible to generate electricity, replenish the power battery and drive the vehicle, or directly give all the generated electricity to the drive motor to drive the vehicle. The hub motor and the distributed electric drive assembly drive the vehicle simultaneously, and the driving torque is distributed front and rear according to the principle of optimal efficiency. At this time, the vehicle is running in the range-extended four-wheel independent pure electric drive mode.

[0164] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
