XPENG\u2019s upcoming Mona L05 extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) just proved exactly why buyers are turning to hybrid tech to kill off range anxiety. In a recent grueling real-world endurance test organized by the Chinese automotive platform BitAuto, the midsize crossover covered a massive 1,194 kilometers\u2014roughly 742 miles\u2014on a single charge and a full tank of gas. The 23-hour journey stretched along the rugged G228 coastal highway from Guangzhou all the way to Wenzhou. By the time the wheels finally stopped rolling, the car had squeezed out nearly 95% of its officially claimed CLTC range without a single pit stop to plug in or refuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, hitting those numbers required some serious strategy. To wring every drop of efficiency out of the vehicle, drivers locked it into an “Ultra Power Saving Mode,” stripping away nonessential power draws while keeping the cabin climate at a comfortable 24\u00b0C (75\u00b0F). Beneath the hood, the L05 pairs a 37.2-kWh battery pack with a 1.5-liter internal combustion engine acting purely as a generator, feeding a 183 kW electric motor. Over the course of the marathon run, the crossover maintained an impressively lean appetite, sipping just 3.7 liters of fuel per 100 km alongside a minor electricity consumption rate of 2.5 kWh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 4,870 mm long with a generous 2,940 mm wheelbase, the L05 isn’t a cramped economy hypermiler either\u2014it’s a spacious family crossover complete with a sprawling central touchscreen and a slick head-up display. Granted, everyday commuters won’t likely replicate these exact hypermiling conditions in heavy traffic or at high highway speeds. Even so, the test serves as a massive proof of concept for the EREV platform, proving that long-distance road trips in an electrified vehicle don’t have to dictate your schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
