3.1 Pure Electric Commuting Revolution: 210km Covers 95% of City Travel
One Charge Per Week: The 210km pure electric range covers most urban commuting scenarios (average daily commute in Chongqing is approximately 25-40km), achieving "zero fuel cost" daily travel.
2110km Comprehensive Range: With a full tank and full charge, it can easily complete a round trip from Chongqing to Chengdu (approximately 300km) plus city commuting, completely eliminating long-distance anxiety.
0.1 RMB/km Cost: In pure electric mode, the electricity cost is as low as 0.1 RMB/km, only 1/5 of that of a gasoline car.
