In October last year, Geely Automobile released the "Smart Geely 2025" strategy and the "Jiuda Longwan Action", saying that it would launch a new power exchange travel brand and an exclusive power exchange architecture, and launch 5 pure electricity products that can be exchanged by 2025. Recently, the joint venture company established by Geely and Lifan announced its first interchangeable electric car "Maple Leaf 60S", which is expected to be officially launched in February 2022.
In terms of appearance, maple leaf 60S adopts maple leaf family design language, shield-shaped closed front grille highlights the identity of pure electric vehicle, and the shape of the horizontal "Y" inside the headlight cavity divides the headlight function clearly. The Maple Leaf 60S vehicle is 4730/1804/1530mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2700mm, positioning compact sedan.
In terms of battery life, the Maple Leaf 60S is equipped with a power battery provided by Guoxuan Hi-Tech, the NEDC cruising range can reach 415km, and the car is also equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a peak power of 100kW, and the peak torque has reached 230 N·m. Under the high modularity and high compatibility power exchange service system, Maple Leaf 60S has the ability of "rechargeable and replaceable", which can provide users with 30 minutes of DC fast charging and 60 seconds of inductive power exchange mode.
Maple Leaf 60S is an important product of Geely's fixed power exchange model, which is based on the actual insight into the pain points of the operating market demand, and is committed to creating a new benchmark in the travel market through the operation markets such as online car-hailing and taxis.
In the planning of the geely-Lifan joint venture, by 2025, 5,000 substations will cover 100 core cities to meet the power replacement needs of 1 million vehicles. Geely replacement power station unattended, automatic vehicle positioning, from intelligent navigation, identification of license plates, power exchange, vehicle self-inspection, order settlement, the whole process of self-service unmanned non-inductive integrated intelligent power exchange, the whole process only takes 3 minutes.
The editor said: First of all, this appearance looks familiar at first glance, isn't it an Emgrand who has changed the logo? Maple Leaf currently has two models, 80V and 30X, which are actually a rebranding version of Jiaji and Vision X3, which is the simplest and lowest cost way to produce new cars. Judging from this unoriginal appearance or all aspects of the indicators, maple leaf 60S re-investment in the passenger car market is almost no competitiveness to speak of, so Geely is very clear about the main service operation market of new cars, and the power exchange model is particularly suitable for the use of online ride-hailing cars or taxis with high intensity and racing against the clock to receive orders. On the other hand, CATL has also recently released a new power exchange service, the model of power exchange has a rising trend, Geely can first use the travel platform to test the water and optimize the power exchange service, and then promote this model to non-operating vehicles after maturity.
