Overview
- Orders opened on November 9 with JD.com handling sales and logistics, and the platform reported record demand tied to the 11.11 promotion.
- The car is sold without a battery, which can be rented for about €50 per month or purchased separately, and the pack is listed at 54 kWh.
- The companies tout about 500 km of range under a Chinese test cycle, and the battery can be recharged conventionally or exchanged at dedicated stations.
- Roughly 800 battery-swap stations are reported to be operating in China with swaps claimed to take about 99 seconds, and another 200 sites are planned by year-end alongside more than 3,000 supporting workshops.
- Availability outside China remains uncertain despite JD.com’s broader footprint in Europe, and the launch is described as intensifying price pressure on established makers such as BYD and foreign brands.
