China is the largest automotive market in the world, and domestic manufacturers lead the technological development in areas such as connectivity, digitization, electronics, and batteries. Li Auto is a prime example, as it prepares to launch its new electric minivan, the Mega, a model with «mega-capacity» for charging.
According to CarNewsChina, the new Chinese model allows for a maximum charging power of 552 kW. In a single video published of the vehicle being tested, it is possible to see the charge level accelerate from 6-80% in just eleven minutes and two seconds, accumulating an impressive 77.3 kWh in that short amount of time. According to the brand, that’s enough to travel almost 500 km…!
The charging curve is no less impressive, with Li Auto ensuring that the Mega, equipped with the advanced Qilin batteries from CATL, does not drop below the power limit of 400 kW until 60%, remaining above 300 kW from that point on. Even after reaching 80% charge, the charging power is still 315 kW.
New record
Los valores anunciados por Li Auto para su nuevo monovolumen eléctrico establecen un nuevo referente en términos de potencia de carga, superando a los «pesos pesados» de la industria. Como el Lotus Eletre, que teóricamente admite hasta 430 kW; o el Kia EV6, que soporta 350 kW.
