What type of battery does the BAIC EU5 use?
2 Answers
BAIC EU5 uses a ternary lithium battery. The ternary lithium battery has higher energy, thereby providing the vehicle with a longer-lasting range. Its range is: 416km under working conditions; 520km at constant speed. Taking the 2020 BAIC EU5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4650mm, width 1820mm, height 1510mm, with a wheelbase of 2670mm and a curb weight of 1640kg. The 2020 BAIC EU5 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, with a top speed of 155km/h, a maximum power of 160kW, a maximum torque of 300Nm, and is paired with a 1-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.
I've been driving the BAIC EU5 for over a year now, relying on it for my daily commute. The car uses ternary lithium batteries, which are housed in a sturdy pack located in the middle of the chassis. I remember the salesperson mentioning when I first bought it that this type of battery has high energy density, with a range of over 400 kilometers on a single charge. In practice, it's been reliable—a quick charge of about half an hour gives me enough power for a full day. The battery comes with an eight-year warranty, which gives me peace of mind since it saves me the cost of replacing it. However, the range does decrease slightly during the high temperatures of summer, so it's best to park in the shade. Winter cold also affects the range, but it's manageable. Overall, ternary lithium batteries are quite common in electric vehicles, and BAIC's choice reflects a balance between cost and reliability. I've recommended it to friends, and they've all said it offers good value for the money.
