The new PEUGEOT E-3008 and PEUGEOT E-5008 230 Long Range are equipped with a useful 96.9 kWh battery which, combined with the efficient and powerful 230 hp/170 kW motor, ensures a range of 700 and 668 km respectively (WLTP combined cycle), making them the SUVs with the best electric range on the market. The new PEUGEOT E-3008 and PEUGEOT E-5008 230 Long Range not only offer record-breaking range but also some of the best charging times in their segment.

Thanks to its new efficiency drive and excellent aerodynamics (drag coefficient of 0.23 depending on equipment), the ID.7 Pro S is economical on the road. Depending on optional equipment, a combined WLTP consumption of 16.2 to 13.6 kWh/100 km was determined for the ID.7 Pro S. With the most range-favourable equipment, the WLTP range is up to 709 km. The charging times are short: In 10 minutes – the time needed for a coffee break – energy for approx. 244 km flows into the battery at 200 kW charging power; in about 26 minutes it is charged again from 10 to 80 percent.

In the first half of 2025, Kia plans to introduce the EV4, the brand’s mid-sized electric sedan. Kia plans to utilize the Gwangmyeong EVO Plant as a key production base for the company’s EV models, including the EV3 and EV4, with an annual production capacity of 150,000 units.

The aim is to develop LFP cathode material that enables fast charging technology and exhibits high-level charging and discharging performance at low temperatures. This collaboration carries significance as it connects the steel, battery and automotive sectors. By integrating technology in the LFP battery material field, Hyundai Motor and Kia aim to spearhead advancements in the EV market.

XPENG is expanding in Southern Europe with a 100% electric lineup, featuring the G6 ultra-smart coupe SUV, G9 flagship intelligent SUV, and P7 sports sedan. These vehicles are distinguished by their modern, dynamic design and advanced technology, including XPENG’s SEPA 2.0 architecture and the Tianji XOS 5.2 smart cabin system, which offers EV excellence and class-leading smart driving, superfast charging, and intuitive smart cabin features. Additionally, all three models have received Euro NCAP five-star ratings, reflecting their high safety standards.

PEUGEOT now offer the widest EV line up of any European mainstream brand. The all-new PEUGEOT E-408, showcased in Paris as a World Premiere, completes this 100% electric offering with 12 models.

The T03 is equipped with an electric powertrain which was developed by Leapmotor entirely on its own. The heart of the system is a 37.3 kWh battery which offers 265 km of range in the WLTP Combined cycle and up to 395 km range in Urban Cycle. This system is managed by an Intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) which utilizes cloud technology to monitor the state of the battery in real-time and to guarantee that it always operates within an optimal temperature range. Specifically, the electric motor develops a maximum power of 70 kW (95 CV) and a maximum torque of 158 Nm, which makes it incredibly efficient for everyday driving.

Brian Gu, Vice Chairman and President at XPENG, said: “The European automotive market is undergoing a transformation from electrification to smartification. At the Paris Motor Show, we are not only showcasing highlights from our vehicle portfolio, but also new solutions that we will be integrating in our car models. We are deeply committed to the European market and are excited about our ongoing efforts to expand our presence in the region.”

SAMSUNG’s LFP+ battery, applied with a novel electrode technology, has 10 percent higher energy density than previous LFP battery. A commercial vehicle on SAMSUNG’s LFP+ can have over 1,400 round trips between Hanover and Frankfurt, owing to its longer lifespan. The battery can be charge up to 80 percent in 20 minutes as applied with the latest charging technology, which is essential for long-range driving.

The CATL TECTRANS - Bus Edition is a cutting-edge battery solution for long-distance passenger transport, featuring an industry-leading energy density of 175Wh/kg, the highest for LFP chemistry used in bus applications. Its compact design offers long-range capabilities and low energy consumption, enhancing vehicle layout flexibility. The advanced thermal management system maintains optimal performance across various climates, reducing internal temperature disparity by 50% and ensuring longevity even in extreme conditions.

For the Long-Range versions, PEUGEOT introduces a 230 hp/170 kW powertrain with a high-capacity battery offering up to 700 KM (E-3008) or 668 KM (E-5008) of range in the WLTP combined cycle. This new powertrain joins the E-3008 and E-5008 range alongside the 210 hp/157 kW powertrain, which offers up to 527 km (E-3008) or 502 km (E-5008) of range.

The Kia EV9 has won the highly coveted Gold trophy at the 2024 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) presented by the International Designers Society of America (IDSA).
