Something big happened today.
On January 5, AION LX Plus, positioned as the "Zhixing Qianli Pure Electric Flagship", was listed through the "First Yuan universe new car conference in 2022", and the new car launched a total of 80 Zhizun editions, 80D flagship editions, 80D Max editions and 1000 li editions, with a price of 286,600-459,600 yuan after subsidies.
The reason why the listing of a new car can attract a lot of attention is that the three characteristics of the AION LX Plus officially revealed by GAC Aean are the world's first 1008km ultra-long endurance, the first one is equipped with three second-generation intelligent zoom lidars, and the third is the acceleration performance of 2.9 seconds and 100 kilometers. Perhaps, the AION LX Plus with these three characteristics is not the first level of products in the industry, but it can definitely be called the top level of products in the industry, and it is fully capable of setting a value benchmark in China's high-end luxury pure electric vehicle market.
But when the price is announced, how GAC Aean makes AION LX Plus have such strength, the password behind it is still worth exploring.
First of all, looking at the password with a range of more than 1000km, the explanation given by GAC Aean is that it applies the world's first sponge silicon anode chip battery technology to AION LX Plus.
Generally speaking, most of the current mainstream lithium batteries use graphite to make anode materials. Compared with graphite, silicon can store up to 9 times the lithium ions, which means that the use of silicon as an anode material can greatly increase the energy density of lithium batteries. But everything has two sides, silicon anode material after repeated charging and discharging, the material structure will become loose, while the SEI solid electrolyte film will become thicker, resulting in a decrease in battery capacity. In other words, although the use of silicon anode material can increase the energy density of the battery, it requires certain techniques to suppress the problem of capacity attenuation.
In order to solve the problem of the application of silicon anode materials on large-scale power batteries, GAC Aeon has created the world's first sponge silicon anode chip battery technology after 5 years of secret research, and has nearly 50 independent intellectual property rights patent technologies such as "nano composite silicon technology", "self-repairing adhesive technology" and "gradient composite coating technology".
According to GAC Aeon, sponge silicon anode plate battery technology can make the silicon anode inside the battery as soft and elastic as a sponge, so that the expansion and contraction of silicon during charging and discharging is limited and buffered, and will not break. At the same time, it can also absorb water like a sponge, so that the silicon anode can exert the advantages of large capacity and store more energy.
AION LX Plus is equipped with this sponge silicon anode chip battery, with an energy density of 205Wh/kg, a capacity of 144.4kWh, and a CLTC comprehensive working range of 1008km, becoming the world's first pure electric vehicle with a comprehensive cruising range of more than 1000km. The new battery has a 25 percent increase in cell capacity, a 20 percent reduction in cell volume, and a 14 percent reduction in weight. The reduction in volume and weight has a positive impact on improving the acceleration, braking, handling and spatial performance of the vehicle.
Secondly, when lidar is regarded as the "eye" that opens high-end intelligent driving, GAC Aeon directly carries three second-generation intelligent zoom lidar for AION LX Plus, which can realize cross coverage detection of 300 ° field of view in front of the car, and the farthest detection distance reaches 250m.
At the same time, this lidar also supports a variable refresh rate of 10-30Hz. In urban driver assistance systems, increasing the refresh rate is conducive to better identifying unexpected situations such as jamming and ghost probes, thereby improving safety. Coupled with the industry's most 35 high-performance perception hardware and high-computing power intelligent driving calculation platform, AION LX Plus brings users the unique urban NDA intelligent pilot assistance driving function of the same level, realizing high-speed, urban full-scene coverage, vertical and horizontal galloping, and ease, so that intelligent driving has once again ushered in a new starting point.
Finally, the acceleration performance is further code, AION LX Plus shortens the 0-100km/h acceleration performance to 2.9 seconds, the key factor is that the AION LX Plus four-wheel drive version is equipped with a new dual-speed dual-motor four-in-one integrated electric drive assembly, peak power 340kW, after deceleration and torque at the end of the wheel up to 6100N·m, the comprehensive driving efficiency of more than 90%.
So, although the AION LX Plus name is only one more "PLUS" than the AION LX, the technical upgrade of this new car is not as simple as "PLUS". Lithium batteries containing silicon anode, dual-speed dual-motor electric drive assemblies, solid-state lidar, and high-end driver assistance kinetic energy all reflect the innovation and advanced nature of this new car. As GAC Aeon said, the arrival of AION LX Plus is not only to bring users a high-end pure tram, but also a high-profile enterprise with GAC Eian brand upward and leading the innovation of the industry.
