Specifications

At launch, the RT was available with two lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery Danxia (Chinese: 弹匣; pinyin: dàn xiá; lit. 'magazine') packs supplied by CATL, one with a capacity of 55.1 kWh and another with a 68.1 kWh capacity, with CLTC ranges of 520 and 650 km (323 and 404 mi), respectively. All models use the same 165 kW permanent magnet synchronous front motor, though models with the smaller pack output 150 kW (201 hp; 204 PS) and only the top 68.1 kWh model outputs the full 165 kW (221 hp; 224 PS). The top 68.1 kWh model has 400V silicon carbide power electronics, which enables it to charge from 30–80% in 18 minutes.[6]

The RT Super uses a 54.036 kWh Choco-SEB LFP air-cooled battery pack, which is compatible with CATL’s Choco-SEB battery swap network. The battery can be swapped in 99 seconds, or can be charged from 30–80% in 26 minutes. Its motor outputs 201 hp (150 kW; 204 PS) and it has a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 7.5 seconds.[4] The battery has a lifetime warranty provided by CATL with an annual mileage limit of 30,000 km (18,600 mi) per year.[5]
