This car has the fastest acceleration among the electric sedans in the same class. The challenge to Elon Musk is open

Now how do we put it? It’s not enough to be Elon Musk and have a giant like Tesla producing technology after technology to have no competition. This “copy” of cars produced by the Palo Alto automaker comes directly from China. And like all “copies”, it costs very little.

It is called C01 and is produced by Leapmotor. The battery unit is integrated into the car body. The company has been working for years to create greater shock resistance for the battery and greater resistance to torsion in the car body.

According to the information on the official Leapmotor website, the C1 Equipped with a collector with a total capacity of 90 kWh, which is attached directly to the body through a structure called “cell to structure”. Obviously, like most products made in China, there is no shortage of great interest in technology. In fact, the C01 is also equipped with a facial recognition system.

The C01 has the fastest acceleration among electric sedans in the same class in China. In fact, it will pass dFrom 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just three seconds.

But it’s all C01 numbers that impress: The total power, for example, is 544 horsepower and the autonomy offered by the company is amazing, reaching 717 km. According to the data adopted in the land of the rising sun. Moreover, it can be recharged in rapid shafts with up to 200 kW of power.

Important features for a very low cost of this type of car. In fact, the €25,000 set price tag appears to have been intentionally built to compete with the new Model 2, which everyone considers Tesla’s low-cost.. In short, a nice and good challenge. But the only unknown is related to the availability of the Leapmotor C01. It is not yet clear, in fact, whether it will also be marketed in Europe and the United States. But we will keep you posted.
