XPeng has successfully showcased the long-distance capabilities of its Mona L05 extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) by covering 1,194.2 km (742 miles) without needing to recharge. This achievement represents 94.77% of the vehicle's claimed combined range under China's CLTC testing standard, highlighting its efficiency during a road test organized by BitAuto.
The significance of this test lies in the Mona L05's innovative design, which combines a 183-kW electric motor with a gasoline engine that acts as a range extender. This allows the vehicle to primarily rely on electric power while still having the capability to generate electricity when necessary, making it suitable for longer journeys where charging infrastructure may be sparse.
XPeng's Mona L05 EREV has a maximum electric-only range of 310 km (193 miles) and a combined CLTC range of up to 1,310 km (814 miles). The vehicle's performance during the test, including an average electricity consumption of 2.5 kWh per 100 km, indicates its potential for efficient long-distance travel, although the specific average speed was not disclosed at the time of publication.
