The ideal L9 will start a positive “encounter”, and as for what kind of results this car can achieve in the future, we will not know until the vehicle is launched.

01. 200+km battery life after 5 minutes of charging

Xpeng Motors officially stated that Xpeng G9 is a reconstruction revolution of hardware architecture, software architecture and communication architecture.

Xiaopeng G9 adopts a new smart electric platformincluding X-EEA 3.0 electronic and electrical architecture, XPower 3.0 power system, high-performance chassis and higher-level intelligent cockpit systems.

Previously, the person in charge of the vehicle electronic and electrical architecture of Xiaopeng Motors also introduced the X-EEA 3.0 electronic and electrical architecture platform to Chedongxi.

On the whole, the overall electronic and electrical architecture platform of Xiaopeng Motors has a very clear technical evolution route. In the initial 1.0 era, Xiaopeng Motors adopted a distributed electronic and electrical architecture. From the P7, it entered the 2.0 era and introduced functions. The domain controller realizes vehicle-level OTA and Fast Ethernet communication.

At this stage, the electronic and electrical architecture of Xiaopeng Motors has entered the 3.0 era, using the hardware architecture of central supercomputing + regional control. The central supercomputing platform replaces the previous decentralized platform, which can make better use of computing power and make vehicles smarter.

Another feature of this architecture is the use of zone control, which has the advantage of significantly reducing the wiring harness in the car, reducing the difficulty of vehicle wiring, and making the system more efficient. In terms of software architecture, Xpeng Motors adopts a vehicle-level layered software architecture. Separate the underlying software and basic software of the vehicle from the application software related to intelligence, technology and performance.

In this way, when developing new functions, only the top-level application software needs to be researched and iterated, which shortens the research and development cycle and technical barriers, and allows users to enjoy the rapid iteration of the car after purchasing the car.

In the communication architecture, in order to adapt to the often new features of smart cars, Xiaopeng Motors has implemented sensorless OTA, users can also upgrade while driving, and the entire upgrade time is controlled within 30 minutes.

In terms of power architecture, every power load on the Xiaopeng vehicle can be controlled, and it can be judged whether it needs to be turned on according to different scenarios and needs, which can better control the power consumption of the vehicle.

In addition, the Xpeng G9 adopts the Xpeng XPower3.0 power system, which has five key features.

The first is high voltage. All the components on the car are 800V level and can support 800V high voltage.

The second point is overcharging. The maximum charging current of Xiaopeng Motors can reach more than 600A. It is very difficult to achieve this. Xiaopeng Motors has reduced the resistance of each link of the high-voltage connection, and at the same time, it is necessary to achieve safety protection in special situations.

The third is high energy. Merely fast charging cannot solve the user’s vehicle experience, and long battery life is also required, which requires the vehicle to have high energy to meet the needs of users.

The fourth is efficiency. In order to achieve this goal, Xiaopeng Motors uses silicon carbide to achieve the highest efficiency of the electric drive system, which can reach 95%.

The fifth is strong power, which is realized through the combination of electric drive assembly and battery assembly. In terms of batteries, Xpeng Motors has adopted high-energy-density cells that support overcharging, and has developed an efficient thermal management system, including battery pack thermal management and vehicle thermal management, to efficiently conduct battery heat during overcharging to the vehicle. outside.

02. The whole scene L2 will not be absent and the ground signs can be recognized

In addition to adopting a new electronic and electrical architecture and power system, the Xpeng G9 will be another highlight of the Xpeng G9 with full-scene, point-to-point intelligent assisted driving.

Xpeng G9 will be equipped with Xpeng XPILOT4.0 hardware, equipped with two lidars and multiple 8-megapixel cameras and other sensing hardware. In terms of computing platform, Xiaopeng G9 is equipped with two NVIDIA OrinX chips, and the computing power of a single chip can reach 254TOPS.

Thanks to XPILOT4.0 hardware, Xiaopeng G9 will realize full-scene, end-to-end intelligent assisted driving.

According to the official description of Xiaopeng Motors, Xiaopeng G9 does not need to identify the use environment, from the starting point to the end point, from the release of the P gear to the re-engagement, the whole process can provide an intelligent driving experience.

Of course, the “P” mentioned by Xiaopeng Motors in the article can also be interpreted as intelligent assisted driving from parking lot to parking lot.

Previously, Che Dongxing had also experienced the cross-floor memory parking function of Xiaopeng P5.

With the cross-floor memory parking function, after reaching the basement, the whole process of parking can be handed over to the vehicle for operation. There is no need to go through the difficult process of identifying the parking space, and there is no need to worry about the “tortuous” up and down ramps. It can be said that there has been a qualitative change.

In terms of urban L2, Xiaopeng Motors took the lead in demonstrating the beta version of urban NGP based on XPILOT3.5 hardware in November last year.

He Xiaopeng, chairman of Xiaopeng Motors, said that in the test area in the urban area of ​​Guangzhou, the P5 test vehicle equipped with urban NGP has repeatedly had dozens of kilometers that do not need to be taken over at all, or only take over once, which is very close to the high-speed NGP. Effect. In terms of team, the R&D and data team of Xiaopeng Motors’ intelligent assisted driving is close to 1,500, and the scale is relatively large.

“Judging from the test results, the city-level NGP launched within this year will have better effects than Tesla’s FSD,” said He Xiaopeng.

In addition, the Xiaopeng G9 can also render the driving environment in real time through dynamic calculation and perform a 360-degree simulation display. As can be seen from the picture, the Xiaopeng G9 can identify information such as ice cream cones, cylindrical buckets, speed bumps, and indication lines on the ground. .

03. Conclusion: Wei Xiaoli will “start again”

As the leading players of the new domestic car-making forces, Xiaopeng, Weilai, and Ideal will all launch their own new SUV models in 2022, and all will start delivery by the end of 2022. Therefore, for these three companies, the release of their new SUV models at similar time points can be understood as an opportunity to start again.

With the release of the domestic three-child policy, SUV models will become the rigid demand for more families to buy a car. Therefore, whoever can win the SUV model competition in 2022 between Xiaopeng, Weilai and Ideal is likely to be in the whole article. A firm leading position in the smart electric vehicle track.
