The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) official website has released the 12th batch of tax-exempt procurement catalogs for 2020, with the domestically-produced Tesla Model Y on the list.
From the information released in the catalog, we can see that the Model Y is a long-range all-wheel drive version.
- Battery capacity of 77 kWh
- Battery energy density of 161 Wh/kg
- Curb weight of 1997 kg
- NEDC range of 594 km
- Maximum power of front AC asynchronous motor: 137 kW
- Maximum power of rear permanent magnet synchronous motor: 180 kW
Interestingly, Tesla has chosen to prioritize the domestically-produced long-range all-wheel version of the Model Y this time. This operation, besides creating a certain price difference from the existing Model 3, also means that the NIO EC6 and Tesla Model Y with the same positioning will directly compete in 2021 when they are delivered.
Currently, the NEDC range of the NIO EC6 with a 100 kWh battery is 615 km, slightly higher than the 594 km of the Model Y. However, the long-range all-wheel drive version of the Model Y sold on the official website in the United States has an EPA range of 326 miles, approximately 521.6 km. From the parameters, the difference between EPA and NEDC ranges for the Model Y is not significant, and it can be anticipated that the NEDC range of the Model Y will not be too theoretical. Therefore, we are also looking forward to the actual results after testing.
For the Model Y, the biggest suspense remaining is the price.
