Understanding the fundamental technologies
Create a new generation of power electronics with an electric drive that is highly integrated. With the use of an 800V electric drive platform and high-rate quick charging cores, it can attain a range of 150-200km in just 5 minutes.
Continuously improved energy consumption integrated design, average A-class automobile power consumption 11kWh/100km (based on 0.52 yuan/kWh electricity pricing), use cost less than 6 cents per kilometer.
Mass production use of (semi) solid-state batteries, to achieve zero thermal runaway battery, to give users a longer range, safer EV experience.
