The Force Intelligent Range Extender acts as the energy replenishment station, equipped with dedicated engines and generators utilizing a high compression Atkinson cycle. Remarkably, with this system, 1 liter of fuel can generate around 3.3 kWh of electricity, said Deepal.

As of November 17, deliveries of the Deepal SL03 and S7 ranged extened vehicles have exceeded 107,590 units. Analyzing user driving data, it's found that 90% of city usage and 80% of overall driving distance are under battery-power alone, with no fuel consumption. Additionally, within the remaining 20% fuel-driven distance, Deepal users' real-world hybrid fuel consumption averages as low as 5.2L/100km.

Riding on the EPA1 all-electric digital platform, specifically tailored for electric vehicles, the Deepal Super Range Extending Technology intelligently manages energy based on factors such as battery levels, driving habits, and road conditions. Utilizing local algorithms and cloud-based big data, it analyzes road conditions and user needs, enhancing power, economy, and comfort through intelligent start-stop range extension systems. Moreover, it adapts power generation strategies based on environmental factors like temperature and altitude, ensuring optimal power output and a battery-powered driving experience across various scenarios.

The Deepal Super Range Extending Technology adopts “Gold Shield” (translated from Chinese name “Jin Zhong Zhao”) batteries supervised by the iBC digital battery steward, implementing 24-hour comprehensive battery monitoring through two types of digital pre-control management technologies and seven types of digital temperature control management technologies. With an IP3X short-circuit prevention design surpassing national standards by fivefold, the battery pack's overall domain ensures safety under the unique battery sentry mode, conducting real-time U/T inspections to ensure battery safety during driving, charging, or stationary states. The multi-dimensional system safety design ensures fire prevention and effectively mitigates thermal runaway risks.
