Geely has announced the Haoyue R7 crossover, which it positions as the world’s first “hybrid” with the ability to quickly replace the battery with a pre-charged one. In addition, the new product can boast a large power reserve.
Haoyue R7 will be compatible with CATL’s battery swapping technology at special stations. If necessary, car owners will be able to charge it at home or use special stations in the city. In addition, the 1.5-liter gasoline engine will also generate energy for the batteries.
According to the brand, the Haoyue R7 will be sold without a battery, which can then be rented for a small monthly fee. This will not only reduce the price of the car, but also provide an improved user experience, eliminating the need for the driver to spend a lot of time charging.
