KARACHI: Master Changan Motors Limited (MCML), a joint venture between Master Group of Industries and Changan International, unveils Changan\u2019s electric-first brand, DEEPAL on August 16, 2024, at Dolmen Mall Clifton, Karachi.<\/p>\n
Customers can have first-hand experience and test drive cars at Dolmen Mall until the 25th of August. MCML unveiled the brand Deepal with 2 models, L07, the pure electric sports luxury sedan, and S07 the pure electric premium SUV.<\/p>\n
Both cars offer thrilling 250 HP and 320 Nm of instant torque, going from 0-100 km\/hr in just 5.9 seconds. The Ternary Lithium battery by CATL has a capacity of 66.8 kWh and provides an exceptional range of up to 540 km in L07 and 485 km in S07.<\/p>\n
The cars are designed in Italy in Changan\u2019s R&D center and have won the German RedDot design award in 2023 with its head-turning futuristic design language. The indicative introductory price announced is comparable to other cars with gasoline engines (both ICE & Hybrids).<\/p>\n
MCML is offering a complementary fast home charger of 7kW with every car that can charge in 5-8 hours. The word DEEPAL signifies Deep Friendship (Pal), the brand was born from a joint partnership between three global giants: Changan, Huawei, and CATL who join hands to create the best value for customers using economies of scale.<\/p>\n
Changan, one of China\u2019s largest and oldest automobile brands developed the EV-first EPA-01 platform. Huawei contributes with its advanced Harmony OS intelligent software using the Snapdragon 8155 processor, while CATL, the world\u2019s leading battery manufacturer, provides the Ternary Lithium battery with 99% SOC accuracy virtually eliminating range anxiety.<\/p>\n
41% of Pakistan\u2019s energy mix is based on non-fossil fuel energy generation, on the other hand, the oil import bill of USD 15.16bn is Pakistan\u2019s largest imported commodity that has the most burden on the country\u2019s foreign reserves.<\/p>\n
It makes economic sense to support the mass adoption of Electric Vehicles that do not consume fuel alone or in tandem with batteries. Electric Vehicles that are charged using home-installed solar systems can replace a large portion of the fuel import for cars and will improve the country\u2019s economic condition.<\/p>\n
Despite the presence of over 2,000 EVs in the country the mass EV adoption is yet to start. \u201cWe have identified 4 challenges to tackle to catalyze mass EV adoption; first is the introduction of the right pure EV product at the right prices, second is the efficient battery for long driving ranges, third is the nationwide after-sales support network and fourth is the charging infrastructure in 17 cities,\u201d said Danial Malik while sharing the company\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n
As a constant disruptor in the automotive space, Master Changan resolves the first challenge by introducing Deepal at a price comparable to older-generation gasoline and hybrid models.<\/p>\n
It solves the second challenge by offering the best in class range of up to 540 km that takes you from Lahore to Islamabad in a single charge or can be used within the city for a whole week on a single charge, the third challenge by offering an industry-leading warranty of 8 years or 240,000 km while equipping 23 Changan dealerships for in 17 cities for after-sales support to EVs.<\/p>\n
Master Changan Motors plans for the fourth and biggest challenge by expanding Pakistan\u2019s current national charging network from 5 cities to 17 cities with 23 new charging points.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Master Changan Motors, committed to driving the mass adoption of EVs in Pakistan, plans to introduce 3 to 4 new locally assembled EV models in the next 2 years. Master Changan Motors remains committed to leading the way in Pakistan\u2019s automotive industry, bringing innovative solutions that benefit both the environment and the economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
