On December 17, Ruilan 9 was officially launched, with a total of 4 models launched, with the price of the car after subsidies of 109,900-129,900 yuan. At the press conference, Lou Yuanfa, chairman and CEO of Ruilan Automobile, said that Ruilan Automobile will provide users with efficient and convenient battery swap services and more pragmatic configurations based on scenarios, so that some people can change first and return the option to users.
So the launch of Ruilan 9 means that China's battery swap service is for the public for the first time.
Ruilan 9 is officially positioned as a medium and large pure electric SUV. The new car has a size of 4845/1890/1778mm, a wheelbase of 2825mm, and is available in two layouts: 6-seater and 7-seater. In terms of power, the range of the model equipped with a 150kW/310N·m is 380km, and the range of the model equipped with a 52.56kW/h battery is 470km, and the range of the model equipped with a 66.57kW/h CATL ternary lithium battery is 470km. In terms of charging, there are four ways to replace the new car, including battery replacement, 40-minute fast charging, 7kW home charging pile, and 2kW slow charging.
However, compared with functional configurations such as power, appearance, space, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, 12.3-inch floating central control screen, Baidu Honghu Intelligent Driving System, L2-level autonomous driving assistance, people are more concerned about its main battery swap capability.
As we all know, battery swap service has become a new hot spot in the industry and will soon become popular. Therefore, in order to cope with this new demand, new energy vehicle companies must also make corresponding adjustments and optimizations to their products.
, and Ruilan Automobile's adjustment is based on the needs of real life.
first dispels users' concerns that battery swap service will damage the body structure. Ruilan Automobile has specially developed a GBRC crystal architecture that supports the overall battery swap technology of the chassis. Under this framework, the battery replacement time of Ruilan 9 only takes 1 minute. Operation is like the battery replacement of Nokia phones in the early days, plug-and-pull-and-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pull-pul
, and Ruilan Automobile has obtained more than a thousand technical patents in the fields of electrical architecture, battery swap stations, battery swap vehicles, etc., effectively ensuring the reliability of the vehicle.
So the battery swap operation of Ruilan 9 is like when we go to a gas station. When we need it, it takes much less time to go to the battery swap station to replace the battery when it is needed.
The second is to ensure the feasibility of battery swap services. In this regard, Ruilan Automobile actively builds a new map of the battery swap ecosystem, and participates in the formulation of national and industry standards, and issues more than 30 relevant standards. At the same time, Ruilan Automobile has also developed a super app that connects people-car-station-life services to help users find battery swap stations and lay a solid foundation for battery swap services.
The third is to meet the needs of battery swap services. Ruilan 9 does not pursue ultra-long battery life and is equipped with a high-energy battery, but chooses an efficient and stable battery pack, which not only ensures safety during the battery swap process, but also reduces the cost of battery swap. This can be seen from the official power battery solution, of which the monthly rent of the battery subscription service is 898 yuan, which is lower than the rental fee of nearly 1,000 yuan for NIO ES6 .
It is worth mentioning that Ruilan Auto is also actively building a battery swap ecosystem, and its huge service outlets will be charged to effectively ensure users' long-distance travel needs.
In short, battery swap service is imperative. Although NIO and BAIC have made attempts in this regard before, the one that really enters the market and serves users is Ruilan Auto. I believe that with the launch of Ruilan 9, it will bring new thinking to the development of China's new energy vehicle models, and it will also be the first real test of battery swap services, promoting the development of China's new energy vehicle industry.
