IT Home (IT之家) June 24 news, the all-new Li L8 (理想 L8) was officially launched last night, available in two versions: Ultra and Livis :

• Ultra version: 369,800 yuan (launch limited-time offer price 359,800 yuan) | Standard equipped with wire-controlled magic carpet chassis and rear-wheel steering, turning radius 5.1 meters;

• Livis version: 429,800 yuan (launch limited-time offer price 419,800 yuan) | Standard equipped with 800V full active suspension and EMB (Electro-Mechanical Brake), chassis response time less than 100ms.

Li Auto CEO Li Xiang today publicly endorsed range-extender technology, stating bluntly: "The ultimate form of range extenders is the Li 5C range extender."

A full-load range of 1,779.5 km, once again surpassing the official CLTC range, with a driving energy consumption of 3.8 kWh/100 km and fuel consumption of 3.8 L/100 km. This is the technological confidence brought by the third-generation self-developed range-extender system coupled with a 72.7 kWh large battery!

I want to ask, does anyone still doubt that the range-extender system lacks technological substance? With such energy efficiency and range capabilities, who else has delivered this for consumers? I want to say, the key to technology is not about which route you choose, but whether it can bring real value to users and push that value to the extreme!

According to a previous report from IT Home (IT之家), earlier this month, Li Xiang (李想) also posted on Weibo discussing the differences between pure electric and range-extender vehicles. He said that recently, some people believe the market share of range-extender vehicles is declining and have started to talk down the entire market. He believes that pure electric and range-extender vehicles serve different user needs. There's no need to play favorites or create an energy hierarchy; respect users' preference for having zero anxiety about using gasoline for long trips and off-road use.

Li Xiang revealed that over 40% of users still opt for gasoline vehicles . In the flagship five-seat SUV market, there are still many users choosing gasoline vehicles like the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. As a new energy vehicle company, Li Auto (理想) should consider what areas still need improvement and what user needs remain unmet, in order to collectively expand the new energy market.
