The first electric vehicle with a 1,000 km range was announced. And this is not Tesla

In China, announced the all-electric crossover GAC Aion LX with a power reserve of 1000 km. The serial version of the car will be shown at the Guangzhou Auto Show, which starts on November 19, and prices will be announced at the same time.

The first electric vehicle with a 1,000 km range was announced.  And this is not Tesla

I must say that the GAC Aion LX is not a new model: Aion LX with traction batteries with a capacity of 73.3 and 93.3 kWh and a power reserve of 520, 600 and 650 km are already on sale in China. Therefore, the Aion LX with a power reserve of 1000 km is just a modification of the currently produced cars. This version uses a special traction battery with a sponge silicon cathode: it is 20% smaller in volume than a conventional traction battery and 14% lighter. Aion LX with such a battery has been tested since the summer, and now the tests have been completed – the car is ready for mass production.

I must say that the GAC Aion LX is not a cheap model. In China, various modifications cost from $ 36,000 to $ 54,700, and the new version, of course, will be even more expensive. At the same time, we are not talking about a hybrid, which in China is about half the price (with the same body type), but a full-fledged electric car. Recall that the GAC Aion LX is a fairly large crossover. Its dimensions are 4835 x 1935 x 1685 mm, and the length of the wheelbase is 2920 mm.
