the extended-range electric vehicle is undoubtedly the most popular in the new energy market. automakers are betting on it and users are voting with real money. from january to july this year, the extended-range electric vehicle increased by 127% year-on-year, far exceeding the growth rate of other new energy models.

the more popular the product is, the more controversy the extended-range technology has caused. is it an outdated product or a new energy route that meets the needs of current users? are the various problems that users encounter due to poor technology or outdated products? can the iterative innovation of technology solve the "original sins" of poor power supply and high fuel consumption of extended-range technology?

these issues are not only related to user experience, but also greatly affect the future direction of extended-range technology and the industry. recently, at the "top of kunlun" extended-range technology development forum, hosted by the china automotive engineering research institute and the china electric vehicle 100 forum and supported by avita technology, many academicians, experts and scholars from academia, the automotive industry and enterprises actively discussed the development of extended-range technology and user concerns, and output wonderful views from different angles. at the forum, avita's latest kunlun smart extended range was also "judged" by experts and was said to have achieved a generational leap in extended-range technology.

the extended-range market is expected to continue to grow in the next three years

in just a few years, the range-extended technology, which had been dormant for many years, has quickly become popular in china because it accurately solves the needs of users for endurance and energy replenishment during the transition to pure electric vehicles. however, it is not objective to think that the simple structure of range-extended technology is excessive technology. the correct answer is to respect the market and user choices. experts are optimistic about the development of the range-extended industry and believe that the market share of range-extended vehicles will continue to rise in the foreseeable future. in the next three years, the market size of range-extended vehicles is expected to continue to increase, and may compete with pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

the "range-extended technology is backward" that is popular in the market. in fact, the root cause is that the range-extended technology installed in most cars on the market is still in the early stages of technological development. although it can be powered by oil or electricity, which solves the user's range anxiety, it still has a series of shortcomings such as weak power supply and low energy replenishment efficiency, resulting in a poor user experience.

what is a good range extender? what is the next evolutionary direction of range extender technology? experts believe that the kunlun range extender, which avita has developed in-house for five years, uses a dedicated engine for range extenders and has achieved intelligent innovation in the power system, which has almost solved the shortcomings of traditional range extenders and represents the future development direction of range extender technology.

avita leads the generational leap in extended range

in terms of user selection criteria and user experience, experts at the meeting believe that a set of objective and rigorous standards are needed to judge the quality of extended-range technology. high-quality extended-range vehicles should meet the three user needs of strong power, quiet driving, and high efficiency and peace of mind.

hu chengtaiquan, vice president of avita technology, said that kunlun range-extended vehicle has effectively solved the user pain points of traditional range-extended vehicle, such as "electric dragon but no battery life, quiet when using electricity but noisy when using oil, fast refueling but slow charging". it is a leading generation of smart range-extended vehicle that is infinitely close to a pure electric experience.

poor performance of extended-range power feeding is the most complained problem by users. avita technology has teamed up with catl to create the 39kwh shenxing super hybrid battery, focusing on improving the battery discharge capacity, achieving the industry's highest peak discharge rate of 9c when fully charged and 7.7c when feeding, allowing the vehicle to maintain strong power output at all times.

in order to reduce the starting noise of the extended-range engine, avita developed its own kunlun extended-range he 1.5t supercharged dedicated engine, equipped with the world's first electronic oil pump technology and unique shutdown piston active control technology, which controls the sound pressure inside the car during idling charging to an extreme 35.7d. combined with the self-developed software intelligent control system, users can have a quiet experience comparable to that of a pure electric car throughout the driving process.

the 39kwh super hybrid battery of the kunlun extended range in avita can reach a peak charging rate of 3c, and it only takes 15 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%. it also has a strong power retention capability to ensure that the battery power will always be exhausted after the fuel in daily driving.

multiple parties jointly issued the "range-extended technology development initiative" to promote the advancement of the range-extended industry

range-extended technology has only been developing rapidly for a few years, and industry standards and technological innovations are still not perfect. in order to promote industry development and enhance user experience, at the "top of kunlun" range-extended technology development forum, china automotive research institute, china electric vehicle 100 forum and avita technology jointly issued the "top of kunlun - range-extended technology development initiative", which put forward a number of suggestions on the innovative direction, user experience, key components, industry standards, etc. of range-extended technology, and redefined the new standards for range-extended technology.

first, at the level of top-level design and theoretical cognition, the three parties unanimously agreed that the advancement of technology should not be determined solely by the form of power, but should improve overall performance and user experience through continuous technological innovation, explore the deep integration of extended-range technology and intelligence, and solve problems such as power attenuation of extended-range vehicles under extreme working conditions through more intelligent power control, accelerate technological breakthroughs, and promote the innovative development of extended-range technology.

secondly, the proposal also points out the direction around user experience. extended-range vehicles should adhere to the user-centric approach, with the purpose of reducing user costs and improving user experience, continue to reduce vehicle costs, and provide a quiet and comfortable experience that is infinitely close to that of pure electric vehicles.

thirdly, automobile companies should fully recognize the cornerstone role of key components in the development of extended-range technology, promote the high-end, intelligent and specialized development of key components such as extended-range engines and batteries, and achieve stable power output, unlimited use, and safer travel through the specialization of key components.

finally, we must promote the construction of industry standards, specifications, and technical certification systems, accelerate the formulation of industry standards, especially in key modules such as engines and batteries, continuously promote specialization and standardization, achieve higher vehicle economy and driving safety, build a fair, open, and pragmatic industry platform, and establish a sound evaluation system.

the future development of range-extending technology must be driven by the real demands of users. for car companies, they cannot create good range-extending products or good user experience by simply taking what they need. after experiencing the bonus period of "wild growth", car companies now need to calm down and start with core technology to create a truly good range-extending experience for users and promote the long-term development of range-extending technology and the market.
