What is the range of Li Auto vehicles?
2 Answers
Li Auto vehicles have a maximum actual range of approximately 700-750 kilometers. The driving range of a vehicle is related to its rolling resistance. Rolling resistance refers to the resistance opposite to the direction of rolling when an inflated tire rolls in a straight line on an ideal road surface (typically a flat, dry, and hard surface), with the central symmetrical plane of the outer edge aligned with the rolling direction of the wheel. Reducing the rolling coefficient can to some extent improve the range of electric vehicles. In range-extender mode, Li Auto vehicles achieve a city fuel consumption of less than 5L/100km and a highway fuel consumption of less than 10L/100km. Li Auto vehicles are equipped with a 45L fuel tank using 95-octane gasoline. Due to higher highway fuel consumption, the highway range is only about 650 kilometers. In terms of charging time, DC fast charging (60kW) takes 30 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%, while AC slow charging (7kW) takes 6 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. For quicker refueling, it's better to directly add fuel. In actual use, if the battery is completely depleted, it can cause damage to the battery. Li Auto uses ternary lithium-ion batteries supplied by CATL, with a total capacity of 40.5kWh. The power battery warranty is 8 years or 120,000 kilometers.
I'm an owner of Li Auto, driving the Li L9. The official pure electric range is 230 kilometers, but in winter it might drop to around 180 kilometers, while in summer it normally reaches just over 200 kilometers. After the range extender kicks in, with a full tank and full charge, it can run over 1,000 kilometers. Even cruising at 120 km/h on the highway with the air conditioning on, the range drops to 800 kilometers, which is still more than enough. For daily commuting, I only use the pure electric mode, which is cheap on electricity. For weekend long trips, I just refuel, eliminating any range anxiety. After driving for over a year, I've found that driving habits have a significant impact—for example, gently pressing the accelerator can save about 15% more range compared to aggressive acceleration. Regular battery maintenance is crucial, and avoiding frequent deep discharges is important. Li Auto's range-extending technology is impressive, offering both environmental friendliness and uninterrupted travel. The overall range design suits urban and suburban living, making it practical and worry-free.
