The C01 range extension, a blockbuster model of Leap Motor, will debut and be launched simultaneously on September 20. Leap C01 Range Extender is the second range extension model of Leapmotor based on the dual power strategy of "pure electric + range extension", which redefines super range extension with ultra-long pure electric range in order to meet the needs of users in multiple scenarios.
The Zerorun C01 is equipped with a large-capacity battery, which brings an ultra-long pure electric range of up to 316km (under CLTC conditions), solving travel range anxiety; In terms of exterior design, the exterior design of the new car still continues the design style of combining pure electric natural aesthetic appearance and scientific and technological innovation, with a new glacier blue appearance, a borderless upper grille design with a space-time capsule shape on the front face, and a decorative plate shape imitating air intake openings on both sides to create a wider and more layered visual experience.
The large battery is the super range extender, so that the range extender returns to the essence
Different from other extended-range vehicles equipped with small batteries on the market, the Leap C01 extended-range large-capacity battery can further extend the pure electric cruising range, achieving a pure electric range of up to 316km (CLTC), which is the longest pure electric range extender in its class. Based on the big data analysis of the cumulative mileage of more than 2 billion kilometers of users, Zerorun found that the average weekly mileage of more than 50% of car owners is less than 200 kilometers, so based on the daily commuting demand of 40 kilometers and the daily endurance loss, 316km can meet the user's urban pure electric commuting for 5 working days per week, and will also perfectly solve the pain point of new energy users who lack the conditions of home improvement charging piles.
The Zerorun C01 range extender has the surging power of a pure electric vehicle, a smooth and comfortable driving feeling, and excellent NVH performance. At the same time, thanks to the 316km ultra-long pure electric range (CLTC), the charging demand for Zerorun C01 range extension is further reduced, reducing the frequency of range extension system intervention, range extension as an energy supplement method, allowing users to calmly cope with long-distance travel, the advantages of range extension technology to the extreme, while retaining the comfortable driving of electric vehicles while taking into account the economic car, providing drivers with a comprehensive travel solution and redefining super range extension.
Pure electric + extended range dual power layout to meet different demand scenarios
Previously, the launch of Leap C11 range extension officially kicked off the "pure electric + range extension" dual-power layout, laying the layout idea of the whole line of Leap Auto's products. Pure electric + extended range walking on two legs, not only to meet what users want now, but also to plan to meet what users want in the future.
The combination of the Leap C01 extended range large-capacity battery and a new generation of range extender system assembly brings ultra-long comprehensive cruising range and ultra-low fuel consumption, which can support users to easily cope with the needs of long-distance travel during holidays, bid farewell to mileage anxiety, and bring a more economical car experience. Zerorun C01 Super Range Extender makes it possible to "charge only once a week", "only refuel once a year" and "no charging back and forth", realizing real oil, electricity, and free switching.
"Electricity to oil", user-centered is a good technology
Unlike many car companies that have transformed from fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles to "change oil to electricity" products, the main models of Leapmotor since its establishment are pure electric, and now it has shifted to extended-range hybrid, which is a veritable "electric to oil". Leapmotor believes that the new energy vehicles of "electric to oil" constitute a "dimensionality reduction blow" to the models of "oil to electricity", and the models using this product design logic are based on electric vehicles, inheriting the comfortable experience of all electric vehicles, while avoiding the trouble of complex plug-in hybrid technology and high maintenance costs in the later stage, allowing users to obtain a more comfortable driving experience in a more convenient and economical way.
Leapmotor has achieved self-research and self-manufacturing capabilities of 70% of the cost of the whole vehicle, and has carried out continuous R&D and innovation around the core technologies of intelligent power, intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit, forming a moat of global self-research and vertical integration. Zhu Jiangming, chairman of Leapmotor, once said that it is with the blessing of global self-developed technology that Leapmotor can quickly play a combination of "extended range + pure electric".
In the past August, Leapmotor completed the delivery of 14,190 new vehicles, of which the C series models accounted for more than 85%, and the delivery of the C11 series exceeded 10,000 units in a single month. The dual-power strategy boosts the acceleration of Leap Auto, which not only boosts the sales of C11, but also indicates the broad market prospect of C01 range extension.
The new Leap C01 extended range car will be officially launched on September 20, and I believe that its upcoming advanced product value and consistent sincere pricing style will bring more surprises to users, wait and see.
