On the pure electric track, the development of domestic new energy vehicles is rapid, especially in terms of battery life. Early pure electric vehicles had a range of about 200-300km, and subsequently launched a range of about 300-500km. Now, models with a range of 1000km have also been launched, and 700+ has become the mainstream long-range model within the optional range of Volkswagen. So for consumers, how should we choose the current mainstream 700+ battery life model? The author selected the recent popular models of Zero Racing C01 717km two-wheel drive ultra-long battery life version (hereinafter referred to as Zero Racing C01) and the Xiaopeng P7 2020 706G (hereinafter referred to as Xiaopeng P7), and compared them in all aspects to see who is more worth buying.

Technology: How is CTC batteries better than traditional batteries?

Zero-Road C01 uses CTC battery chassis integrated technology. Some friends must not know what CTC technology is. I will introduce it in detail. First of all, we need to know that the power battery applications of new energy vehicles can be divided into battery design, processing, positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials and the final assembly part. In terms of assembly, the integration of battery cells is regarded as an important link in the production and manufacturing of new energy vehicles. The traditional integration method is CTM (full name Cell to Module), which is assembled from the battery cell into a module, and then the module is installed into the battery pack to form a three-level assembly mode of "battery cell-module-battery pack".

Xiaopeng P7 is the traditional CTM technology used. However, due to the large number of parts in the module battery pack, the space utilization rate is 40%, the energy density will be limited, and the center of gravity distribution will be difficult to achieve balance, which will affect the driving experience.

Zero-Road's CTC (full name is Cell to Chassis) technology refers to the integrated design of the battery, chassis and lower body. It can be simply interpreted as placing the battery cell directly in the vehicle chassis. Different from the previous design of separation of the chassis and battery pack, the energy density of the battery is increased by improving space utilization. In addition, it can also save raw materials, and the volume of the deviceable battery cell is expanded accordingly, thereby increasing the volume energy density and improving the range. At the same time, CTC can increase the body torsional stiffness of the Zero Racing C01 by 25%. The stronger the body stiffness, the stronger the body durability, vehicle handling and safety. At the same time, it can reduce abnormal noise and vibration of the body and improve the vehicle's NVH performance.

Hardware: 28+23 Zero Race C01's intelligent strength cannot be underestimated

In terms of intelligent driving, in terms of hardware, Zero Race C01 is equipped with 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 mm wave radar , and a 10 camera configuration mainly based on the binocular ADAS system. There is also a face recognition camera specially used for the driver in the cockpit, with a total of 28 high-precision perception hardware standard. This intelligent driving system, called Leapmotor Pilot, can be said to be extremely attentive in such hardware equipment. The completeness of the entire system is very high, and it can achieve L2+-level assisted driving capabilities and perform well. At the software level of

, Zero Run C01 supports 23 intelligent assisted driving functions, including fatigue warning (DMS), adaptive cruise control (ACC), speed limit identification and speeding warning (SLIF), forward collision warning (FCW), forward vehicle distance monitoring (FDM), automatic emergency braking (AEB), blind spot viewing system (BSV), lane departure warning (LDW), narrow lane assist (SDIS), blind spot monitoring warning (BSD), door opening Early warning (DOW), lane transformation warning (LCA), rear collision warning (RCW), rear transverse vehicle warning (RCTA), lane keeping system (LCCh), adaptive curve cruise system (ATC), intelligent cruise assistance system (ICA), automatic lane change assistance (ALC), traffic congestion assistance system (TJA), high-speed assisted driving system (HWA), automatic parking system (APA), remote parking assistance system (RPA), 360° panoramic image. It can be said that it covers 99% of driving application scenarios in life. It is worth mentioning that this intelligent assisted driving system, Zero Race C01, is standard for the entire series, and can be said to be very cost-effective.

Xiaopeng P7, the 706G model has only 4 ultrasonic radars and a surround view camera. The hardware performance is very average compared to the Zero Race C01.In terms of function, there is only one reversing image + cruise control, not full-speed adaptive cruise, nor a 360° panoramic reversing image. The Zero Run C01 is still much stronger.

Configuration: It is necessary to have technology and luxury, and Zero Racing continues to lead the way

into the Leap Racing C01 car, which can be said to be very shocked. The interior materials of the whole vehicle are extremely attentive. Whether it is the large amount of soft leather covering the cockpit or the suede ceiling above the head, it looks particularly luxurious and high-end. At the same time, the three-dimensional large screen in front of you is full of technology, equipped with Leapmotor OS intelligent interaction system, adopts Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155P chip, 7nm process, 12 memory + 128G storage space. The entire vehicle system has no lag at all and is very smooth. It is also equipped with the only boss position configuration in the same level - "CEO seat" one-click adjustment. With one-click, the angle of the boss position can be automatically adjusted, providing a more spacious and comfortable riding experience. It is also equipped with a rear control screen, which can realize air conditioning temperature/air volume adjustment, seat heating, volume/song cutting, and boss position adjustment.

sat in the Xiaopeng P7's car, and the luxurious texture instantly felt like it was a grade, with only the bare alloy decorative panel. The dual-connected screen is also relatively modest and has a relatively weak sense of technology. At the same time, there is also a gap in comfort configuration of Xiaopeng P7, such as the Zero-Pony C01 supports in-car driving recorder, mobile phone wireless charging, front seat heating, main driver's memory, multi-color ambient lights, front soundproof glass , high-precision map navigation, etc., and none of these Xiaopeng P7 long-range versions are equipped.

battery life: Zero Race C01 is slightly better than

In terms of battery life, Zero Race C01 is equipped with a 90kWh ternary lithium battery pack and uses CTC battery chassis integrated technology. Therefore, its energy density has also reached 169.43Wh/kg, and its pure electric range can reach 717km. At the same time, its maximum output power is 200kW, its peak torque is 360N·m, and its maximum speed can reach 180km/h.

Xiaopeng P7 is equipped with an 80.9kWh ternary lithium battery pack, which adopts traditional CTM battery pack technology, with an energy density of 170Wh/kg and a pure electric range of 706km. The maximum output power is 196kW, the peak torque is 390N·m, and the maximum speed is only 170km/h. Overall, the battery life and performance of the Zero Race C01 are still much better than that of Xiaopeng .

Last:

Overall, for models with a long range of 700+, the Zero Race C01 is still ahead of the Xiaopeng P7, and the price is more than 40,000 yuan less than the latter. More importantly, the Zero-Play C01 offers a smart luxury configuration of 400,000 yuan with a price of more than 200,000 yuan. The entire Zero-Pony C01 series comes with 80 intelligent luxury configurations, the entire series comes with 28 high-precision sensing hardware and 23 intelligent driving assistance functions, and the entire series comes with a suede ceiling, a Nappa leather steering wheel, a starry sky panoramic sky curtain... From the perspective of product strength such as intelligent and luxurious configuration, it has reached and even surpassed the level of traditional luxury cars. It can be seen that the Zero-Play C01 is prepared and the market feedback is also very enthusiastic. The current large deposit amount has exceeded 1 billion yuan, which is worth looking forward to.
