China EV News

The scorching summer continues, and so does the fierce competition among Chinese NEV startups. The July sales ranking for China’s new car-making forces is officially out. While the data reflects domestic market performance during the traditional sales off-season, it still provides valuable insight. Notably, Leapmotor, Huawei’s Harmony Intelligent Mobility (HarmonyOS Vehicles), and XPeng maintained their momentum, setting new monthly records.

As global competition intensifies in the export market for new energy vehicles (NEVs), intelligent driving features have become a key differentiator. Vehicles equipped with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) stand out in safety, technological appeal, and customer trust. In this article, we’ll explore the core principles of LiDAR, its vital role in AEB systems and assisted driving, along with its advantages, limitations, and future trends.

On July 31, NIO’s sub-brand ONVO officially launched its new flagship SUV — the ONVO L90. Positioned as a smart, spacious family car, the L90 comes in both six-seat and seven-seat versions. The six-seat version starts at RMB 179,800 and began delivery on August 1. The seven-seat version, priced from RMB 185,800, is expected to start deliveries in late September. Each version will be available in Pro, Max, and Ultra trims.

On July 29, Li Auto officially launched its second pure electric vehicle — the Li Auto i8. As a 6-seater pure electric SUV, the new model arrives in three configurations, priced from 321,800 to 369,800 RMB. With a maximum electric range of 720 km, the i8 enters the market aiming to shake things up in the premium EV segment. But does it have what it takes to lead?

Recently, the testing of new energy vehicle intelligent driving is in full swing. In this era of rapidly advancing autonomous driving technology, buying a car without any "Intelligent Driving" functions is like owning a smartphone without a camera. Open up any modern car’s configuration sheet, and you're bombarded with acronyms like NOA, LCC, ACC… But what do these intelligent driving terms actually mean? Let’s break them down one by one.

As the global competition in new-energy vehicles intensifies, China’s domestic automakers are stepping up research and development in plug‑in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Leading brands like BYD, Geely, Chery, and Great Wall are not just advancing in batteries and motors—they’re locked in a “silent war” over engine thermal efficiency, DHT gearbox architecture, and control algorithms.

As electric vehicles (EVs) become increasingly popular worldwide, fast charging has become a central topic of discussion. While it offers unmatched convenience, many wonder: does fast charging damage the battery in the long run? This article explores the mechanisms, real-world impact, and how to minimize the downsides—helping you charge smarter and extend battery life.

Electronic Side Mirrors, or Camera Monitor Systems (CMS), replace traditional side-view mirrors with cameras that project real-time video onto in-cabin screens. This includes both side cameras and rear-view monitors used during reversing. As a highly digital and intelligent driver assistance system, CMS represents a bold step in the digital transformation of new energy vehicles. It offers distinct advantages in visibility, safety, aerodynamics, and futuristic design.
