74 kWh CATL Pack Enables 465 km Battery Range
Epicland has launched pre-sales for its X9 EREV with an initial price point of 44,100 USD. The automaker is marketing the model as an extended-range electric vehicle that combines a battery-electric driving mode with a range-extending system.
The X9 EREV is equipped with a 74 kWh battery supplied by CATL, and the company states the vehicle can travel 465 kilometres under battery power alone. The configuration positions the X9 toward buyers seeking longer electric-only driving capability in an EREV architecture.
Extended-range electric vehicles use an internal combustion engine or other generator to recharge the battery while driving, allowing continuous operation beyond the battery’s capacity. Epicland’s approach follows a trend among manufacturers to pair substantial battery capacity with a secondary power source to reduce range anxiety.
Specifics such as charging power, on-board generator output, and detailed performance figures were not disclosed in the pre-sales announcement. Likewise, availability windows, after-sales support and regional market rollout plans were not specified.
Industry observers say large-format battery packs from established suppliers like CATL can improve electric-only practical range, while an EREV powertrain can offer flexibility for customers in regions with limited charging infrastructure. The X9’s stated figures will be scrutinised when independent testing and certification data become available.
