AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/27 Report--

The battery life of new energy vehicles has been complained by consumers, especially in winter, the battery life of new energy vehicles has been greatly reduced, which has greatly restricted the travel of car owners. "afraid to drive" has become a concern for consumers to buy electric cars in winter. Therefore, with the accelerated development of new energy vehicles, the problem of battery life of new energy vehicles also needs to be solved urgently.

From the current mainstream new energy vehicle products, there are not a small number of electric vehicles with mileage above 500km, and even some pure electric vehicles have more mileage than 600km. This is not the first SUV mileage of GAC NIO's co-chuang brand released tonight. 650km.

For co-creation brand, perhaps most people are still relatively unfamiliar! As a new attempt between traditional car companies and new car-building companies, GAC was founded in April 2018, jointly funded by GAC GROUP, GAC NE, Shanghai Lulai Automobile and Yangtze River Lai Fund. the new company is mainly engaged in pure electric vehicle research and development, sales and service business. Among them, GAC will be mainly responsible for the research and development and production of the whole vehicle, and Ulai will provide intelligent network connection technology and energy support system.

In May this year, GAC NIO officially unveiled its first concept SUV and announced that the new car would be officially released at the end of this year and delivery is expected to begin in the first half of 2020. For now, GAC has not broken its promise.

On October 10, Co-Chuang announced that its first pure electric SUV will officially open blind booking on October 22nd. The so-called blind booking means that the sales method of paying a certain amount of money to buy a car without knowing the pricing, and the sales form of more refund and less compensation is adopted after the price is officially announced.

On December 27th, the first mass-produced SUV model of the Hechuang brand was officially launched, named HYCAN 007. a total of five new models were launched with a pre-price of 26-400000 yuan. The HYCAN 007 is positioned as an intelligent high-energy pure electric SUV and is expected to be officially launched and delivered in April next year.

Although Hechuang brand is co-founded by GAC GROUP and NIO, its first SUV is different from GAC NE and Ulai's models. From the point of view of the exterior design, the front face of the new car uses a closed design, and the intake grille at the lower end of the front bumper is larger, with sharp lines of all LED headlights, full sense of movement.

The interior design of the new car is also based on simple style, using embracing center console design and asymmetric triple screen design, while using double-spoke multi-function steering wheel, the seat uses an integrated seat, visually follow the sense of movement.

In terms of power, the HYCAN 007 is equipped with a NCM811 battery pack with a battery capacity of 93kW and a mileage of 643km under NEDC operating conditions. In addition, the new car can also achieve external discharge, V2V (vehicle mutual charge) and V2L (220V power supply).

What is refreshing is that the NEDC mileage of GAC's first pure electric SUV is as high as 643km.

Hechuang pure electric SUV such a high battery life is surprising but also makes people wonder, what is the concept of 643km? The mileage of the domestic version of Tesla's Model3 is 445km, and the mileage of the performance version of Xilai ES6 is 510km. The newly listed Aichi U5 is also equipped with a battery pack of 623km. GAC NE's Aion LX just went on the market just to 650km. Obviously, there are only a small number of pure electric vehicles with longer range than 600km, which is naturally very competitive as advertised by Hechuang, but the specific range remains to be tested. after all, there are not a few electric vehicles with significantly reduced range.

For Hechuang, the official debut of the new car is an important step in the development of the automobile industry. The positioning and pricing of the new car in the market are very critical. If it cannot be weighed between GAC NE and Xilai Motors, it may be difficult to survive. It is worth noting that the current situation of Ulai Motors is not optimistic. It is not only the car company with the most financing among all the new car-building forces, but also the car company with the largest loss, which is still plagued by funds. In the case that NIO needs a lot of money to support its products, it is also very difficult for Xilai to focus on joint venture.
