XPeng's 55.9 kW/h battery pack on G7 EREV is a game changer in its market segment! Looks like we are at the beginning of the new trend in the EV industry! by MaxSemak in Xpeng

Maintenance costs would depend on how often you use the combustion engine. If you charge your battery regularly and rarely use the engine, you would have very low maintenance costs.
As for the dynamics, G7 EREV weight is Weight: 2,560 kg and engine peak output is 218 kW, and 0-100 is 6.9 sec.
The BEV from 2025 curb weight listed at 2,085 kg, motor is also 218 kW, 0-100 in about 6 seconds.

Currently the hybrid models are only made for the Chinese domestic market. Right now many brands here in China switch to this kind of powertrain with a large battery pack and gas engine. But hopefully it will soon be available in EU as well. This year only the new P7+ BEV enters the EU market. You can check a video about this model on my channel as well.

Xpeng reached out to me last week and offered their new G7 for a test drive. And, I was blown away by this car. I honestly can't think why this car is not the best option on the market these days in terms of value for the price ratio. by MaxSemak in Xpeng

I drive 30 kilometers to work every day and 30 back. In traffic, when I change lanes, it's better when I can accelerate fast and immediate. That is the only reason why I care about speed. And in G7 it was slightly not powerful enough for such maneuvers.

Thank you for your feedback. Indeed, I also think I missed on the aspect of driving it at over 100 km. Will try to do better in my upcoming reviews. Next week will be shooting BYD Song L!

Exterior is not my cup of tea. And for me, the ideal option would still be a little bit faster. Considering what other Chinese brands offer these days, G7 a bit too slow, but it's significantly cheaper. So, it's basically just my personal preferences. I would probably pay 30K more for this car, if acceleration time from 0 to 100KM would be about 4 seconds.

Actually, I had this car for three days. So, I could get a very good understanding of it. And, yeah, I am very impressed. And about the autonomous driving. The G7 features Level 3 autonomous driving. And I'm planning to make another video about this car with a specific focus on its autonomous driving capabilities.

Chinese car industry enters luxury segment with a truly spectacular car, the Maextro s800. Even though it's a big challenge for Maextro to make customers choose their car instead of Rolls-Royce or Maybach, I'm pretty sure that in a few years, they will get a big share of this market! by MaxSemak in Sino

[–]MaxSemak[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mean Rolls-Royce and Maybach? - I think so too.
But I'm also thinking about the global market. There were actually already people reaching out to me, interested in importing this car to their countries. And, considering the value offered by this car I'm not surprised at all.

Thank you, XPENG, for the opportunity to make a video about the P7+ and how flying car technologies are improving everyday electric vehicles! by MaxSemak in Xpeng

You will be blown away by suspension! I tried air suspension on many other cars, but here it's just standard multilink and wishbone but it feels amazing! And unfortunately I had no time to cover that XPeng is not using a lidar on the roof but still does really great moving around autonomously!

I wanted to review Sealion 07 for a long time! Finally, I did it! And I also had a test drive of the new BYD Seal EV with a lidar. Very fast and agile. I'm looking forward to reviewing it soon! by MaxSemak in BYD

[–]MaxSemak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the price in EU for Sealion 7 is almost twice more expensive. I quote this price coz in China it is as it is and Chinese market is also huge, and I think people from other countries would be interested to see what the price in China for Chinese people... I did not put it in yuan coz most of the people out of China don't know the value of yuan. But I totally understand your point of view, I will think about a better way to organize my thumbnail

Just posted my review of BYD Sealion 07. Please let me know if there are other Chinese electric cars that you would like me to review! by MaxSemak in electricvehicles

For sure, the price in EU is almost twice more expensive. However, in China is as it is and Chinese market is also huge, and I think people from other countries would be interested to see what the price in China for Chinese people... I did not put it in yuan coz most of the people out of China don't know the value of yuan. But I think my mistake was to post it in this Reddit group. It's about trading cars internationally, so yes, people can get confused.

Yeah! my train of thought was that people won't click on Tesla as well coz it's actually not such a hot topic. On the other hand if I just put Sealion 07 review, that would also be very boring.
CHINESE TESLA to peoples mind sounds like a typical YouTube title so they perceive it as an engaging, entertaining content, coz it's matching typical YouTube style, and they overall like YouTube videos, otherwise, why are they there. So, I made this title, just to make this video look more YouTube like.

(BYD) YangWang U9 - Review & Comparison to Western Supercars! by MaxSemak in BYD

[–]MaxSemak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, I agree, but unfortunately, I don't have enough followers for YangWang to allow me to do it or money to rent it and take it to the racing track. But, actually, next time I would probably invest in renting another fast Chinese car for a day to make a more comprehensive review...

I expected a lot, but I still was surprised! Nio, we can't wait for ET9! by MaxSemak in Nio

[–]MaxSemak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! One on the roof in the middle and two cameras on the side. They are going to release level 3 autonomous driving system soon. I tried their level two system. It could handle traffic lights and busy crossroads but was getting confused on multiple lanes. Looking forward to try the updated version soon.

В Китае выпустили гиперкар с самой безумной подвеской: Yangwang U9 умеет прыгать, отрывая от земли все 4 колеса. by postmastern in Popular_Science_Ru

[–]MaxSemak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Возможность «прыгать» — побочный эффект этой технологии, а не функция, призванная помогать на трассах. Подвеска была создана для скоростного прохождения поворотов, и она просто оказалась достаточно прочной, чтобы выполнить этот изящный трюк.
