Welcome back to the podcast, Leak Motor D19, EV battery recycling and China's three-year plan.

Plus, stay tuned later in the show.

I'll tell you about next level, solid-state batteries.

Welcome to EV News, China, the podcast dedicated to the world's largest EV market.

Every day I bring you the latest headlines, insights and analysis from the heart of China's booming EV industry

and decode how fast-moving developments in the heart of China's booming EV industry and decode how

fast-moving developments in the East are shaping the global EV landscape. We'll start with the Leap

Motor D-19 getting its global debut, specs and tech now revealed. On October 16th, four days ago in

Shanghai, Leap Motor unveiled the D-19. This is their flagship SUV. This is absolute top of the

electric vehicle, or extended range, electric vehicle, ER-EV, and B-EV variant, and its position

as their most technologically advanced

premium SUV. Design follows Leap Motors, so-called tech natural aesthetics, pairing intelligent

systems with nature-inspired forms and user-centered proportions, with paint choices chosen from nature.

Not that about that, but the paint choices look

pretty nice to me. The EREV uses an 80.3 kilowatt hour CATL battery. This may be the largest

battery in an EREV that I've come across in my research for EV News, China. 80.3 kilowatt

hours is four times the size of the battery in my first pure B-EV. It marks Leap Motors first

cell to chassis implementation as well for extended range electric vehicles, EREVs. It's an 800-volt

system, fast charging from CATL, 500 kilometres at least of battery-powered

range, that's CLTC, so not real well.

And the Bev uses 115 kilowatt hour pack.
