邓承浩“炮轰”超级增程 直言超长续航“没有意义”

Group 1 - Changan Automobile's Vice President, Deng Chenghao, stated that purchasing range-extended vehicles with a range of 400-500 kilometers is less advantageous than buying pure electric vehicles, indicating that super long-range range-extended vehicles may not be meaningful in the future [2] - Deng believes that range-extending technology is not a transitional or outdated technology but serves specific scenarios for consumers with long-distance needs. However, he argues that as consumer perceptions mature, the significance of super long-range range-extended vehicles diminishes [2] - Several automakers have launched long-range pure electric range-extended models, such as the Zhiji LS6 with over 450 kilometers, the Xpeng X9 at 452 kilometers, and the Leapmotor D19 at 500 kilometers. Deng criticized the trend of blindly increasing pure electric range, suggesting that if range-extended vehicles can achieve 400-500 kilometers, consumers would be better off purchasing pure electric vehicles without the need for an engine [2] Group 2 - Deep Blue Automotive, which Deng leads, faces challenges as its range-extended models currently have a maximum range of only 300 kilometers, falling short of the industry standard of 400 kilometers [3] - In terms of supply chain integration, Deep Blue Automotive's battery cell costs remain high compared to competitors like Geely, BYD, and Leapmotor, making it difficult to keep pace with the industry's large battery layouts. This results in a disadvantage in cost control [3] - As of October, Deep Blue Automotive has achieved cumulative sales of 206,350 units, which is only 41.27% of its global sales target of 500,000 units set for 2025, indicating significant pressure on sales [3]
