On August 24th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released the ninth batch of recommended new energy vehicle (NEV) models for promotion and application, and the Hongqi E-HS9 was included in the list.
Let’s first take a look at the basic data. As a luxury pure electric SUV under FAW Hongqi, the E-HS9 has a length, width, and height of 520920101731 mm and a wheelbase of 3110 mm, with a curb weight of 2512 kg. The E-HS9 has two types of driving range, which are 460 km and 520 km respectively.
Now let’s take a look at the power system. The E-HS9 is equipped with an electric motor on the front and rear axles respectively, and two different power options are available. The low-power version of the front and rear motors have a maximum power of 160 kW and a peak torque of 300 N·m; the high-power version has a front motor with a maximum power of 160 kW and a peak torque of 300 N·m, and a rear motor with a maximum power of 245 kW and a maximum torque of 450 N·m, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.9 seconds.
The power of the E-HS9’s rear motor is very impressive. Currently, the peak power of mainstream permanent magnet synchronous motors is generally around 100-200 kW. The E-HS9’s power of 245 kW is very powerful. For permanent magnet synchronous motors, high power can have the risk of demagnetization, so high-power pure electric vehicle models generally prefer to use asynchronous motors as the power source.
Moreover, according to previously exposed information, the E-HS9 also supports wireless charging, with a charging time of less than 9 hours.
