The first power exchange product of Ruilan Automobile, a joint venture between Geely and Lifan, the Maple Leaf 60S, has been officially listed, and there is a new choice in the B-end operation market.
Maple Leaf 60S is an operating vehicle based on the GBRC charging and replacing modular platform, and the guidance price of the two models of the Easy Line Edition and the Excellent Line Edition is 139,800 yuan and 169,800 yuan respectively.
The biggest feature of Ruilan Automobile is that it mainly attacks the power exchange ecology, so maple leaf 60S also has two sales models: "vehicle sales" and "body sales". The car's name, 60S, means that the power can be replaced in 60 seconds.
The new car has a length, width and height of 4730/1804/1530mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Rear legroom 920mm, trunk space 430L, internal storage space with 17 spaces.
In terms of configuration, although it is oriented to the operating market, maple leaf 60S still has practical configurations such as one-button start, electronic parking, AUTOHOLD automatic parking, automatic air conditioning, and air conditioning rear exhaust outlet. In terms of safety, it is also equipped with Bosch's latest 9.3 version ESP body stability system, EBD electronic braking force distribution system, EBA brake assist, BOS brake priority, TCS traction control, etc.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 100 kW, a peak torque of 230n·m, and supports three driving modes: ECO/Normal/Sport. The battery is supplied by Guoxuan Hi-Tech, and the NEDC has a cruising range of 415 kilometers. In terms of charging, the Maple Leaf 60S has the ability to charge and replace, and can provide 30 minutes DC fast charge mode and 60 seconds power exchange mode.
In addition to the product level, the ease of use and safety of the replacement power station is also very important for the operation vehicle of the Maple Leaf 60S. In this regard, Ruilan Automobile hopes to realize intelligent identification of people-vehicle-station-battery-cloud through the EOSmart big data operation platform, automatic positioning of vehicles, and realize app self-service whole-process integration of intelligent sensorless power exchange.
For some users who complain about the pain points of replacing bad batteries in the replacement power station, the replacement power station built by Ruilan Automobile is also based on EOSmart big data detection, and strives to intelligently identify faulty batteries or batteries to be retired in a timely manner to ensure that users can always change to normal power batteries that meet national regulations.
Geely plans to build 5,000 substations in 2025, covering 100 major cities, serving 1 million power replacement models, realizing 48-hour modular national deployment of substations and achieving a 2 km/station deployment density in hotspot areas. At present, in Chongqing, Hangzhou, Jinan, Suzhou, Zibo and other areas have been put into operation, some of the substations have entered the state of operation.
At the same time, Geely is also a participant in the formulation of national power exchange standards, and the GBRC power exchange modular platform of Maple Leaf 60S refers to the design of national power exchange standards and supports evolutionary iteration.
With the listing of Maple Leaf 60S, it is believed that the domestic power exchange market will stimulate new vitality, and the problem of charging difficulties for electric vehicle users will gradually be solved.
