Extreme Krypton 009 starts delivery, the fastest delivery record?
On January 15, the first pure electric MPV JK 009 under JK Smart Technology was delivered as scheduled.
As the second model of Extreme Krypton Intelligent Technology, 76 days after its launch on November 1, Extreme Krypton 009 has been delivered on schedule, and this speed may currently rank first among Chinese pure electric brands.
The first batch of users held delivery ceremonies in the delivery centers of Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other cities, and the executive team of JK Intelligent Technology delivered vehicles to the first batch of users in the delivery centers of some cities.
Quick review:
From the delivery time, to a certain extent, it can be explained that JK is iterating again in the whole process of development and production of the second model.
Previously, An Conghui said in an interview with the media: "The Extreme Krypton brand hopes to double its sales to about 140,000 units in 2023." As a reference, in 2022, Extreme Krypton has won 71,941 sales with the 001 model.
After updating the 2023 001, the price/performance ratio of this car has been strengthened again, and 86 and 140 kWh battery options have been added to further expand the consumer client base.
So, we can guess how much sales will be contributed by Krypton 009 in 2023?
Ask the world to announce a price reduction, while providing old car owners with feedback benefits
At 8:30 am on January 13, AITO Automobile announced that the price of the M5 EV and M7 models will be reduced, with a maximum price of 30,000 yuan. At the same time, the old owners who have already picked up the car will be arranged to give back benefits as compensation.
The specific vehicle price reduction information is as follows:
M5 EV rear drive standard version 259,800, 28,800;
M5 EV four-wheel drive performance version 289,800, 30,000;
M7 Comfort Edition 289,800, 30,000;
M7 Deluxe 309,800, 30,000.
In addition, for owners who have picked up their cars before 08:30 on January 13, 2023, we will provide feedback benefits:
M5 series will give 2 years of basic maintenance;
The first owner of the M5 EV extended the vehicle quality assurance to 8 years/160,000 kilometers and gave 120,000 AITO points, with a total value of about 33,000;
The first owner of M7 Comfort Edition and Deluxe Edition extends the vehicle quality assurance to 8 years/160,000 kilometers and gives 120,000 AITO points, with a total value of about 33,000;
The first owner of the M7 flagship extended the vehicle quality assurance to 8 years/160,000 km.
Quick review:
After the price reduction, the price of the M5 EV is basically the same as that of the Model Y rear-drive version, and the price of the M7 deluxe version is basically the same as that of the Model Y. The meaning of this wave of same-price rivalry is undisguised.
The main goal of the price reduction is to promote, and Tesla different places, ask the world did not say some understanding of the high cost of logic, but the price reduction action is called "New Year’s Thanksgiving feedback", and to have picked up the car users 120,000 points and extended warranty service.
It is both reasonable and reasonable to simultaneously compensate old users while reducing prices. This time, we have made a good template for how to deal with Tesla’s price reduction. There is a high probability that many friends will refer to this strategy in the future.
During the Spring Festival, high-speed power replacement is free! NIO announces power replacement discounts
From January 13 to February 5, NIO announced that all 346 expressway power swap stations across the country will provide unlimited free power swap services to all NIO vehicles (except for operating vehicles), among which the high-speed service area power swap stations will provide 24-hour services to provide users with more convenience during the Spring Festival.
So far, NIO has built a total of 1,307 power stations in the Chinese market, including 346 expressway power stations, and completed the layout of high-speed power exchange networks in 5 vertical, 3 horizontal, and 8 major urban agglomerations:
5 vertical: G 10 quadrillion high-speed, G 20 quadrillion Shanghai high-speed, G 40 quadrillion Hong Kong and Macao high-speed, G 50 quadrillion Kunming high-speed, G15 Shenyang high-speed;
3 horizontal: G50 Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, G30 Lianhuo Expressway Sushan Section, G60 Shanghai-Kunming Expressway Huxiang Section;
8 urban agglomerations: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration, Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration, Greater Bay Area Urban Agglomeration, Chengdu-Chongqing Urban Agglomeration, Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration, Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Urban Agglomeration, Central Plains Urban Agglomeration.
At the same time, NIO released the 2023 Spring Festival travel service guarantee plan. During the entire Spring Festival, NIO will have a team of more than 5,000 people participating in the service guarantee, covering six scenarios of power-up service, road rescue, road service supply station, repair and maintenance, value-added service, and online exclusive service group, to escort users’ Spring Festival travel.
Quick review:
Due to the liberalization of the epidemic policy this Spring Festival, the number of people who choose to return to their hometowns for the New Year will undoubtedly exceed the previous two years, and the national expressway will also usher in the largest passenger flow in recent years. It can be predicted that there will be long queues in the high-speed service area, whether it is gas stations or charging stations.
NIO has long laid out its own power station in the high-speed service area, and has now opened up most of the country’s major high-speed sections, providing NIO owners with a supplementary experience beyond other electric vehicle owners for long-distance travel.
With NIO announcing that there will be unlimited free power changes during the Spring Festival for high-speed power stations, the number of owners who choose to drive NIO models during the Spring Festival will also increase significantly. It is still unknown whether the high-speed power station can withstand this wave of power change pressure. We look forward to your feedback in our official community after experiencing high-speed power changes during the Spring Festival.
Focusing on parent-child travel, Extreme Fox KAOLA released
On January 9th, KAOLA was officially unveiled, officially defining it as "the world’s first smart parent-child car". KAOLA is the first scenario-driven product of JAOLA, creating a series of solutions around the scene of parent-child travel.
In order to take care of the needs of parent-child travel, Extreme Fox KAOLA has specially made 6 exclusive designs. First and foremost, considering that it is inconvenient for mothers to hold their children and open the door with something, the rear doors on both sides of KAOLA are designed with electric side sliding doors. With the induction of the welcome light after unlocking, the vehicle can automatically open the rear door at the corresponding position after touching the welcome light with their feet. At the same time, the child seat behind the main driver of the vehicle automatically rotates, making it convenient for mothers to place their children in the safety seat.
Secondly, KAOLA has a high definition camera in the back row, which can display the picture of the child in the back row in real time on the central control screen during the driving process, which is convenient for the mother to observe; at the same time, the camera can monitor the status of the child, and when the child is found crying, feeling hot or suspected of needing to change the diaper, there is a corresponding automatic treatment plan, or timely prompt on the central control screen.
In terms of interaction, it is equipped with 4-zone voice function, which supports continuous dialogue and visibility. The voice assistant can show various states such as listening, surprise, execution, and reminder. At the same time, voice commands have been customized for children. When children need to listen to stories, relevant audio content can be played. But when children make unreasonable demands such as opening windows, they will kindly decline the request.
In addition, there are many details that reflect the fact that this is a model designed specifically for parent-child travel.
Quick review:
As a market-segmented product, KAOLA has indeed made some designs that have not been seen in other models in all aspects for parent-child travel, meeting the segmentation needs of parents and mothers.
However, in order to meet these needs, the car also has some compromises. For example, the vehicle has only four seats, and one seat is an electric child safety seat, which means that the car can only seat a maximum of three adults, which is not suitable for daily transportation.
In addition, having only one electric child seat obviously does not meet the needs of families with twins or two children, further limiting the number of people the car can meet.
Extreme Fox KAOLA is very similar to those models created for niche car fans. They may not have a large audience, but they will always meet the pain points of some people.
