News has surfaced from China that Geely is ready to publish the first hybrid world extension vehicle which is also compatible with the growing network of battery exchange stations.
Insidite of the Hairy R7, because News China says that it is essentially a rebadged version of the All-Electric Geely Livan 7 flagship SUV, which was among the first Geely models to support the battery exchange.
The driving process in a dedicated installation and replacing an entire battery robot has been pushed by CATL, the largest manufacturer of electric vehicle batteries in China, and the NIO electric vehicle brand, which has even started to introduce installations into certain parts of Europe.
It is reported that the next R7 haired will be compatible with CATL battery swap technology, allowing owners to make home juice, use the much faster public loading network or take advantage of battery exchange stations.
In addition, the 1.5 -liter natural suction petrol engine can act as a generator to load the battery packs on board for longer trips.
No official range figure has yet been released, but even the smallest Livan 7 battery pack can manage nearly 280 miles on a single load, so when you take the extension of the beach, it could easily manage the double.
Although the niche motorcycle group on the Chinese market will offer customers an unrivaled choice in the way they move, opening the idea of electric vehicles more and trying to prove that the anxiety of the distribution area should no longer be a problem.
Analysis: the more methods, more
According to a recent BBC report, Nio has now built more than 3,300 battery swap stations in China, the company seeking to develop across the country in the coming years.
Currently, a number of taxis, bus and heavy trucks use the technology of battery exchanges in China, as these vehicles tend to have more predictable movement models that make the whole process much easier to manage.
But thanks to software progress, it also becomes much simpler for brands of electric vehicles to manage whole EV fleets, with the possibility of determining which vehicle needs its batteries and what is the most effective way to do so.
Tesla, for example, was the pioneer of a “connected” compressor network which helps conductors to the most accessible and fastest charger in the neighborhood, pre -rummaging the battery for the most effective recharges.
Battery exchange stations are not only another quick method to move drivers (the process takes about five minutes), it can also considerably reduce the initial cost of a new vehicle.
Geely says that the Hairy R7 will be offered without the battery, giving customers the possibility of paying monthly fees to rent the batteries and take advantage of the Catl battery exchange network.
This has proven to be extremely popular with the Taiwanese company Gogoro’s Battery Swap Network, which uses much smaller packs to supply two -wheeled scooters, moped and smaller capacity in a number of world markets.
Not only is the cost of the motorcycle in question much less expensive to buy – even when it is associated with the products of the Yamaha partner – it is also more practical, with users capable of stopping towards a station, to exchange batteries by hand (there is no need for robots, because the packs are so small) and get started.
