In the 20th Guangzhou International Auto Show that opened today, Jidu Auto officially announced that it has achieved the 70,000 delivery goal set earlier for 2022 ahead of schedule.
Since the delivery of Jidu 001 in October 2021, production and delivery have been continuously increasing, from the initial one or two thousand to now over ten thousand monthly deliveries. It has occupied the sales champion of over 300,000 domestic pure electric vehicle models. It can be said to be a new milestone for the domestic pure electric market.
At this car show, Jidu exhibited three models: Jidu 001, which has been delivered for one year, Jidu 009, which will start delivery in January 2023, and the globally debuted concept car ZEEKR M-Vision.
ZEEKR M-Vision is based on the Haohan-M architecture and the interior design centers around passengers, creating a car interior space that integrates large space, multi-functional seat layout, etc. According to Jidu, the ZEEKR M-Vision concept car will be ready for mass production in 2024.
In terms of travel services design, ZEEKR M-Vision has a 5-year, 500,000-kilometer extended design warranty mileage and an average of more than 16 hours of continuous daily driving. All components have undergone rigorous durability tests and have a service life that far exceeds that of the same class of passenger cars, greatly reducing operating costs for fleet operators.
Energy System
In addition to the models, Jidu also has new content in the construction of the energy system.
On April 15, 2021, Jidu globally premiered the first-generation liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging pile with a single gun output power of up to 360 kW, and is equipped with very fine liquid-cooled cables. Compared with the charging cable of a conventional DC charging pile, the liquid-cooled cable allows female car owners to complete the charging operation with one hand.
The new generation of superchargers can deliver a maximum output power of 600 kW and a maximum output current of 650 A. At the same time, it has been comprehensively upgraded in terms of system architecture, operation and maintenance costs, and scenario compatibility, and can meet the maximum charging requirements of future 800 V high-voltage vehicles. Currently, JIKR has installed more than 200 supercharging stations nationwide. In 2022, we devoted a lot of effort to building our own charging system and achieved good results with more than 200 stations nationwide.
