The maximum speed can reach 120 km/h, and the driving range on a single charge can reach 120 km to 150 km. Truly achieving zero emissions and zero pollution, on February 16th, Chery's first independently developed pure electric vehicle S18 electric vehicle was successfully launched.
 
   Chery S18 electric vehicle is a high-speed pure electric sedan developed on the S18 vehicle platform, equipped with a 336V 40Kw high-power electric drive system and a 40Ah high-performance lithium iron phosphate battery. Charging is also very fast and convenient for consumers, using 220V civilian charging, and the charging time is generally 4-6 hours; It can also be charged quickly, reaching 80% of the battery's capacity in half an hour.
   Our electric vehicles adopt the world's most advanced technology, with features such as high efficiency, energy saving, simple operation, continuously variable transmission, and quietness, and the price is also very suitable for family purchases, "said Yuan Tao, Vice General Manager of Chery at the offline ceremony
As a leader in independent brand automobiles, Chery began researching electric vehicles as early as 2001. In 2004, the "National Energy saving and Environmental Protection Automotive Engineering Technology Research Center" settled in Chery. With the center as its foundation, Chery has undertaken multiple major national "863" energy-saving and new energy vehicle projects and achieved a series of significant results.
   In terms of key components and core technologies for electric vehicles, a complete set of research and development capabilities for key components has been formed. Batch production capabilities have been initially established in areas such as motors, motor drive systems, DC/DC, advanced power batteries, battery management systems, and vehicle controllers, mastering the core technologies, calibration techniques, and experimental verification techniques for electric vehicle development. At the same time, Chery has a rich product line as a platform for building energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars, making it easier for Chery's energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars to enter the market and households. This is another advantage of Chery Automobile.
   According to Chery's new energy product development plan, Chery has completed the research and development of high-performance low emission gasoline engines (1.6/2.0 CBR VVT), weak hybrid systems (BSG), high-pressure common rail high-speed direct injection diesel engines (1.9 TCI), moderate hybrid systems (ISG), flexible fuel vehicles (methanol+ethanol+gasoline+CNG), and pure electric vehicles (EV). In terms of hybrid power, China's first BSG hybrid car, Chery A5 BSG hybrid car, was launched on January 10th, and a series of new energy products such as moderate hybrid system ISG will also be launched this year.
   Designing and manufacturing safer, more energy-efficient, and more environmentally friendly car models is our corporate responsibility. In the current economic environment, Chery will rely on its research and development achievements in new energy manufacturing sources and new technologies to achieve 'overtaking on the bend,' "Jin Yibo, assistant general manager of Chery, told reporters.
