On May 7th-9th, Xingjiyuan ET held the industry’s first extreme endurance challenge for extended-range vehicles. The vehicle started from Wuhu, Anhui Province with a full battery and a tank of oil, and finally arrived in Guangzhou through Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province. The whole journey lasted for over 40 hours, and the final mileage reached 2141.4km.
The longest cruising range of Xingjiyuan ET pure electric vehicle is 760km. As the first vehicle in the global mass production of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Shenxing rechargeable battery, Xingjiyuan ET can recharge 475km in 11.5 minutes, and the SOC changes from 20% to 80% in 24 minutes at the low temperature of minus 20℃. When the vehicle is in the low battery condition with SOC of only 20%, it can still run on the ice and snow road at MINUS 20℃ with an acceleration of 5.46s per 100 kilometers.
Super safe, Star Age ET successfully challenged the 31.9-meter air fall test.
