The first charging station of GAC Aion brand was completed, officially opening the era of energy ecology

On April 18, the first charging station of GAC Aion brand - Shanghai Hongqiao Airport brand charging station was officially completed, marking the official opening of GAC Aion's energy ecological era, which is of milestone significance.

Just off Hongqiao Airport Exit/Free Charging/Free Parking, Enjoy Your Car without Worry

GAC Aion has always adhered to the leadership of technological innovation, continuously built a new marketing service ecosystem with users at the core and integrated into smart car life, and continuously improved customer value. In order to allow users to experience the worry-free and exclusive experience of using cars at the airport, GAC Aion has built a brand fast charging network to reach customers in various car use scenarios, meet personalized car use needs, and let everyone feel the convenience of use beyond fuel vehicles.

GAC Aion's branded charging station at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport is equipped with the only 120KW fast charging pile in the parking building of Hongqiao Airport, and provides AION customers with free exclusive parking spaces at the airport where every inch of land is valuable. Customers can enjoy fast charging without service fee and slow charging for free. The charging station is located at the exit of Rainbow Bridge on the north side of the terminal building. It is extremely convenient to get on the car as soon as you leave the door. The lounge is open to AION customers free of charge 24 hours a day, providing an exclusive leisure and communication platform.

Accelerate the deployment of more than 2,000 branded charging stations to fully build a "sustainable energy ecology"

At present, high safety, long battery life and fast charging are the key factors that influence consumers to buy electric vehicles. GAC Aion focuses on customer experience and continues to create world-class products, and continues to lead in technical fields such as safety, battery life and fast charging. In March of this year, GAC Aion released the safety technology of the magazine battery system, which will be fully equipped on the AION series of models, setting a new standard for industry safety. This year, GAC Aion will be the first to realize the mass production of sponge silicon negative electrode sheet battery technology on the AION LX, with a battery life of up to 1,000 kilometers, completely resolving mileage concerns. GAC Aion's super-fast charging battery technology will also be installed on the AION V in September, and can be fully charged to 80% in 8 minutes.

Switching from brand logo to five-dimensional innovation and transformation to accelerate the process of high-end brand development Through the technological innovation of products, GAC Aion has solved the problems of long battery life and charging time, but the convenience of charging still needs to be improved. In order to help users completely solve the pain points of car use, GAC Aion will start from the three dimensions of high-power super-fast charging stations, destination charging stations and national marketing service charging networks in the future, and comprehensively build a sustainable energy ecology integrating people, cars, charging piles and networks. It is expected that by 2025, more than 2,000 stations will be built across the country, covering 300 cities.

Since becoming independent at the Guangzhou Auto Show last year, GAC Aion has embarked on a new journey to build a high-end smart electric vehicle brand, and has achieved a series of remarkable results in terms of brand high-endization, striving to contribute GAC Aion's wisdom to building a "future smart travel ecosystem", "sustainable energy utilization ecosystem" and "business model innovation ecosystem". The completion of the GAC Aion brand charging station at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport is an important part of this.

On April 16, GAC Aion has just taken another milestone after its brand independence. All AION models have officially switched to a new LOGO and body logo, and put on an "epic new skin". The Aion brand has set off a new chapter. In addition, in order to accelerate the process of high-end brand development, GAC Aion is launching innovative changes in five dimensions, including R&D, intelligent manufacturing, industrial chain, marketing service model, and organizational culture.

In order to seize the technological commanding heights of industry development, GAC Aion is accelerating the pace of independent technological research and development and innovation. It has mastered core EV technologies such as magazine battery system safety, super-fast charging batteries, and sponge silicon negative electrode batteries. It also has leading ICV technologies such as self-developed smart and healthy cockpit, beyond-visual-range memory parking, and ADiGO4.0 intelligent driving interconnection ecosystem.

In order to cope with the rapid growth in sales and the overall sales volume increase brought by the launch of the new car AION Y, GAC Aion's smart ecological factory has also undergone an evolutionary upgrade recently. On the basis of the original 100,000 vehicles/year, the production capacity is about to be expanded to 200,000 vehicles/year. The Aion factory is expected to invest about 500 million yuan in this expansion and upgrade, and plans to double its production capacity in early 2022. It will improve the level of intelligent manufacturing through the application of new technologies, new processes, and new materials, and comprehensively strengthen the production capacity of eight models and multiple series of mixed lines, providing users with high-quality intelligent pure electric vehicles.

After the brand became independent, GAC Aion's pace of industrial chain integration in the EV and ICV fields has significantly accelerated. GAC not only incubated Juwan Technology Research Co., Ltd. internally to promote the industrialization of super-fast charging battery technology, but also completed investments in Qingtao Development and Horizon Robotics, taking the lead in the layout of solid-state batteries and autonomous driving chip industries. At the same time, it also joined hands with global leading resources such as Huawei, Baidu, and Guangzhou Respiratory Research Institute to deeply layout the vehicle system software, smart travel, and smart and healthy cockpit industries. In November last year, GAC also established Galaxy Intelligent Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. in a joint venture with iFlytek, striving to create an industry benchmark with leading brand, technology, and product experience in the fields of smart cockpits, Internet of Vehicles, and automotive digital services.

In addition, GAC Aion has always been committed to building and continuously improving the new marketing service ecosystem. Starting this year, it has created a new model of "supermarket store + car city store" through innovation to shorten the distance between customers and improve the quality of customer operations. At the same time, GAC Aion has also accelerated the reform of the system and mechanism, and will soon have further implementation actions.
