Jikai ijikai.com, March 18 — The “terminator” of range anxiety may have arrived. At the “2026 Chery Battery Night,” Chery officially unveiled its new energy replenishment solutions: the Rhino Battery and the Xunlong Flash Charging ultra-fast charging technology.
With the ultimate performance of “500 km range in 8 minutes of charging,” Chery aims to make the EV energy replenishment experience completely comparable to that of traditional fuel vehicles.
Rhino Battery: An All-Terrain, Long-Lasting “Hexagon Warrior”
The newly launched “Rhino Battery” focuses on three core advantages: fast charging, long lifespan, and robust safety:
- Ultra-Fast Charging: Maximum charging power up to 1200 kW, replenishing 500 km of range in just 8 minutes.
- Extended Lifespan: Utilizes gradient-doped cathode materials and low-strain graphite anode, reducing volume expansion by 10% and achieving a cycle life of up to 5000 cycles.
- Hardcore Safety: Multi-dimensional protection through “Rhino Crystal Material, Rhino Shield Structure, and Rhino Cloud Intelligent Control.” It meets extremely high testing standards: collision tests at 3 times the national standard, scrape tests at 4 times the national standard, and has undergone full-scenario validation over 25 million kilometers across an ultra-wide temperature range of -40°C to 55°C.
Currently, Chery has established a battery product matrix covering LFP/NMC systems, including short blade, prismatic, and large cylindrical structures.
Xunlong Flash Charging: Redefining Energy Interaction, 5-Minute Replenishment Is No Longer a Dream
The complementary “Xunlong Flash Charging” technology brings generational leaps in hardware efficiency and intelligent interaction:
- Efficiency Ceiling: In certain specific scenarios, replenishment efficiency can be further reduced to 500 km in 5 minutes.
- Core Hardware Support: Employs next-generation SiC (silicon carbide) components with system efficiency ≥96.5%, paired with oil-immersed liquid cooling technology to ensure stability during high-power charging.
- Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): Vehicles are no longer just consumables but become “mobile energy storage units.” Through grid-forming technology, vehicles can interact bidirectionally with the power grid, helping to balance peak and off-peak loads.
Global Energy Replenishment Blueprint: 20,000 Ultra-Fast Charging Stations by 2029
Chery outlined ambitious goals for building its energy replenishment network during the launch:
- “Ten Cities, Hundred Stations” Plan: Initially covering 10 cities including Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Wuhu, building 100 Xunlong Flash Charging stations equipped with V2G functionality.
- Global Vision: Plans to complete the core network layout by 2029, establishing over 20,000 Xunlong Flash Charging stations worldwide, all supporting V2G technology.
With the implementation of 1200 kW ultra-high-power fast charging, replenishment efficiency will no longer be a “roadblock” to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Chery’s substantial investment in this layout will undoubtedly accelerate the new energy vehicle industry’s entry into the “flash charging” era.
