It is noticed that it is not uncommon for new energy car companies to launch pure electric and extended-range models at the same time. After all, you cannot put all your eggs in one basket. For example, Lixiang, which started as an extended-range car, is expected to launch its first pure electric model this year; AITO Wenjie launched the M5 EV version after launching the M5 extended-range car; In March, it launched the range-extending version of the Leapmotor C11.
