Voyah

Light Chaser is the first sedan model that Voyah launched into the market. It was first photographed in 2021 while prototype testing hadn&#8217;t completed. <a href="https://www.licarco.com/nio-et5">NIO ET5 </a>and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-c01">Leapmotor C01 </a>are the direct competitors of this all-electric sedan. 
Voyah Light Chaser has more of a familiar face on the front, as the only eye-catching detail is the illuminated Voyah logo at the center of the front nose. It is definitely designed as slippery as possible, to reduce drag coefficient and increase the range. 
There are 31 different sensors around the Light Chaser&#8217;s exterior, 12 of them are high-resolution cameras, 5 radar sensors, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and two high precission positioning units.

Changan

Changan Auto is one of the largest automakers in China. Recently, it has developed a new vehicle platform called EPA1, which supports all kinds of powertrain options from hydrogen fuel-cell applications to battery electric systems. After some teasing and concept revealing, the first vehicle built on top of this next-gen vehicle platform is finally available and it&#8217;s called Deep Blue SL03. 
SL03 is the debut model for Changan Auto&#8217;s new sub-brand Deep Blue (Shenlan; 深蓝). The electric sedan, also known as Shenlan SL03 has a distinctive look, especially on the front side of its exterior. Frameless doors, uniquely designed headlights, 1.3 meters-long panoramic sunroof, an infotainment screen that can rotate vertically, and a highly functional head-up display are some of its features worth mentioning. 
Changan Deep Blue SL03 is being offered in three different powertrain options; battery-electric, hydrogen-electric, and plug-in hybrid. We provide you with the BEV version&#8217;s standard specs. It comes with a 258-HP rear-wheel-drive electric motor, 58.1-kWh battery pack, and offers 515 kilometers of range. 
There is also a less powerful and yet more energy-dense version available with a 79-kWh battery pack. The long-range version can travel up to 705 km, according to <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/ev-range-tests-explained-comparison-between-epa-ratings-wltp-nedc-and-cltc">CLTC</a> test cycle.

Furthermore, the interior of the Deep Blue SL03 looks similiar to Tesla&#8217;s Model 3 and Model Y. There is no physical button on the front. You can easily access all controls through the large touchscreen, which is powered by Qualcomm&#8217;s Snapdragon 8155 chipset. The infotainment system&#8217;s interface runs smooth, thanks to its decent chip and the operating system developed by <a href="https://megatronix.cn/">Megatronix</a> called SmartMega OS+. 
You can compare Deep Blue SL03 with other Chinese electric sedans such as <a href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-c01">Leapmotor C01</a>, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-aion-s-plus-80">AION S Plus</a>, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-seal">BYD Seal</a>, etc.

HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

It was known that Leapmotor wanted to accelerate its overseas expansion because sales figures were below expectations due to high competition in China. The Zhejiang-based company will be able to expand its sales and marketing operations to a wider geography thanks to the Stellantis partnership. The company directly targets the European market with the C10.
With this investment, Stellantis will develop affordable Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, Jeep, and Fiat brand electric vehicles and offer them to customers both in China and Europe.

Q3 Revenue of Leapmotor Rises Nearly %400 YoY

China&#8217;s one of the most promising EV makers Leapmotor is set to raise $1 billion in Hong Kong IPO next week. It has been climbing up the ladder in the Chinese market&#8217;s best-selling EVs chart with the affordable hatchback called T03. Zhejiang-based company also recently launched its impressively designed first electric sedan <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-c01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">C01</a>. It is now time to collect some funding for further R&amp;D operations and global expansion.

Leapmotor shares expected to begin trading on September 29. EV maker plans to sell about 131 million shares in a range of 48 to 62 HK$, which is the equivalent of $6-8 per share. This IPO will probably be the biggest this year on Hong Kong Exchange. Leapmotor already guaranteed a total of $308 million from China&#8217;s state-run funds, such as Zhejiang Industrial Fund and Jinhua Industrial Fund, alongside some other investors who have shown interest.
Established in 2015 Leapmotor&#8217;s ultimate goal is to develop and commercialize automotive technologies. It has since applied for over 1,617 patents, most of which are related to electric drivetrains, battery systems, self-driving tech, AI, etc. Its first manufacturing facility Jinhua AI Factory, which is fully operational as of 2021, has an annual capacity of 250,000 EVs.
Leapmotor has already sold more than 76,000 vehicles this year. It was 43,748 last year. The company will most likely triple its sales this year compared to 2021. It has sales operations in 151 cities in China, and the first export vehicles are already on their way to western customers.
<h2>First Leapmotor EV Received Type Approval from EU</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6044 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/leapmotor-t03-dc-charge-speed-2.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="721" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/leapmotor-t03-dc-charge-speed-2.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/leapmotor-t03-dc-charge-speed-2-300x211.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/leapmotor-t03-dc-charge-speed-2-768x541.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />
Leapmotor is expanding its EV operations to other countries. It recently confirmed that the budget-friendly Leapmotor T03 officially received its type approval from European Union. It is already on sale in Turkey and coming very soon to Israel. A few European countries will also follow suit in the coming months.
Chinese company plans to launch seven new electric vehicles on the market by 2025. Its goal is to sell as many as 800,000 EVs globally in the next 4-5 years. In order to expand its business and continue to develop new automotive technologies, Leapmotor is seeking a significant amount of funding from its IPO.

Chinese EV maker Leapmotor seeks $1bn in Hong Kong IPO

Chinese electric vehicle brands are a top priority at Licarco because the EV market has become increasingly dominated by pure electric Chinese cars. Last year, China sold more EVs than the rest of the world. BYD, NIO, ORA, and Geely are some of the biggest Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.
Even though China has been producing millions of EVs for years, American drivers wouldn&#8217;t be able to buy one. It&#8217;s because vehicles made in China are subjected to a %27.5 import tariff in the US. Due to heavy taxation, Chinese brands had not prioritized the US auto market in their global plans. But that&#8217;s changing quickly, as more and more Chinese EV marques are expanding their reach towards western markets, including United States.
In this article, we gathered a list of Chinese EV brands and their expansion plans. We will update this post when an announcement is made regarding any Chinese EV maker&#8217;s global expansion.
