Additionally, the Luxeed R7 comes standard with an 800 V high-voltage platform, in which charging for 15 minutes can replenish the range by 400 km, according to Chinese media XChuXing.
It is worth pointing out that the pre-order website listed the 82 kWh battery pack as a standard configuration and the 100 kWh battery pack as an optional configuration. At this time, the detailed powertrain parameters still need to be confirmed officially by the brand.
