In terms of power, the EZ-6 provides pure electric and stepless range extension dual power modes. The pure electric model is a single-motor rear layout, with a maximum power of 190kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. Including 480KM and 600KM battery life versions (CLTC working conditions), the battery capacity is 56.1KWh/68.8KWh, and the energy consumption for 100 kilometers is 13.2-13 KWh. Equipped with 3C ultra-fast charging Qiji battery, 30% to 80% charging is the fastest for 15 minutes. Its safety standard can reach 60 minutes of salt water immersion + high-pressure water spray without leakage, 140 seconds of 800-degree flame combustion without fire, 5mm steel needle penetration without explosion, and no obvious deformation when falling from a height of 5 meters.
