China’s EV market is growing rapidly and producing something new and advanced daily. China already enjoyed the Honda e: NP1 compact crossover SUV. It was the rival or competitor with Tesla Model Y, Volkswagen ID 4, Kia EV6, Hyundai IONIQ 5, and Toyota bZ4X.
Moreover, e: NP1 offers two engine choices. The standard modernized powertrain generates 180 horsepower, 310 Newton meters, and has a lithium-ion battery packed explicitly with a capacity of 53.6 kWh. It has a maximum range of 420 kilometers.
However, the modified advanced power train produces 201 horsepower and comparable torque. Moreover, it has a 68.8 kWh lithium-ion battery. It mainly has a 510-kilometer range.
