The Force Intelligent Range Extender acts as an energy replenishment station with its own engine and generator utilizing the high compression Atkinson cycle. Amazingly, Deepal says the system can generate about 3.3 kWh of electricity from one liter of fuel.
As of November 17, more than 107,590 Deepal SL03 and S7 extended range vehicles have been delivered. After analyzing user driving data, we found that 90% of city usage and 80% of overall mileage was on battery power alone, with no fuel consumed. Additionally, within the remaining 20% of fuel mileage, Deepal users’ actual hybrid fuel consumption is as low as 5.2L/100km on average.
Based on an EPA1 all-electric digital platform tailored specifically for electric vehicles, Deepal Super Range Extending Technology intelligently manages energy based on factors such as battery level, driving habits and road conditions. It utilizes local algorithms and cloud-based big data to analyze road conditions and user needs to improve power, economy and comfort through an intelligent start-stop range extension system. Additionally, it adapts power generation strategies based on environmental factors such as temperature and altitude, ensuring optimal power output and battery-powered driving experience across different scenarios.
Deepal Super Range Extending Technology adopts “Gold Shield” (Chinese name: “Jin Zhongzhao”) battery supervised by iBC Digital Battery Steward, and has 2 types of digital pre-control management technology and 7 types of digital pre-control technology for 24-hour comprehensive operation. Realizes accurate battery monitoring. A type of digital temperature control management technology. With IP3X short-circuit prevention design, which exceeds national standards by 5 times, the entire battery pack area is ensured safety with unique battery sentry mode, and real-time U/T inspection while driving, charging or stationary. Ensure the safety of your battery. The safety design of the multidimensional system ensures fire prevention and effectively reduces the risk of thermal runaway.
