Recently, news about Xiaomi's plans to launch an extended-range SUV in 2026 has gone viral. At the same time, well-known brands such as Xiaopeng Motor, GAC Aian, Deep Blue Auto, and Zhiji Auto have also announced that they will incorporate range-extension technology into their development blueprints for high-end or key models. As a technology path that has sparked widespread controversy, extended-range vehicles are quietly transforming into a new engine for sales growth that automobile companies are competing to chase. Cui Dongshu, Secretary General of the Passenger Federation, said that extended-range NEV companies have performed well recently, and some car companies have shown phased explosive growth characteristics. “Currently, the main market for extended range cars is still large and medium-sized cities. It is expected that as sales of brands such as Ideal, Wanjie, and Avita grow, small cities and county markets will gradually rise.”
