GAC will mass-produce the world's first electric car with a range of 1,000 kilometers, which can run 900 kilometers with air conditioning

On July 11, GAC Group officially announced that the AION LX equipped with 1000km sponge silicon negative electrode battery technology has successfully completed summer testing in Sanya, Hainan. During the test, the average temperature was 36 degrees Celsius and the average humidity was 90%, simulating real high temperature and high humidity usage scenarios.

During multiple days of testing, the vehicle's endurance, charging pile compatibility, and electric thermal management efficiency all reached the design goals. With the air conditioner on, the AION LX's endurance reached 904 kilometers, with excellent performance.

GAC Group introduced that the sponge silicon negative electrode battery technology equipped in AION LX can reduce the battery volume by 20% and the weight by 14% without changing the power, allowing the vehicle's range to exceed 1,000 kilometers.

In April this year, GAC Group released the "Neutron Star Strategy", demonstrating sponge silicon negative electrode battery technology and super-fast charging battery technology. The former allows the vehicle's range to exceed 1,000 kilometers, while the latter allows the car to be charged to 80% in 8 minutes and can be installed on mass-produced vehicles.

According to statistics, among the electric vehicles in the world, the Tesla Model S Plaid has the longest range of 840 kilometers, while the Model S ranks second with 719 kilometers. The third to fifth places are all domestic brands, namely the Zeekr 001 with 712 kilometers, the Alpha S with 708 kilometers, and the Xiaopeng P7 with 706 kilometers. The GAC AION LX will become the world's first mass-produced model with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
