China EV Company HiPhi wins $5.6 Billion Deal contract with Saudi Arabia Article Below Reported by CNBD (2023) Saudi Arabia signs $5.6 billion deal with Chinese parent of high-end EV brand HiPhi. Saudi Arabia will develop domestic EV Cars together. Part of the Saudi plan is to develop a domestic electric vehicle manufacturing industry. Human Horizons manufactures electric vehicles under the HiPhi brand in China. HiPhi also has a super car Article Below Reported by Jiri Opletal - Car News China (2023) HiPhi A sedan unveiled with 0-100 kph acceleration in 2 seconds, packing 1,287 hp HiPhi A supercar is neither a concept and deliveries are set to start in early 2025. It is based on HiPhi Z and co-created with Apollo Automobil, a German sports car manufacturer. The top speed is 300 km/h, and the 0-100 km/h acceleration is 2 seconds. During the live stream event from its Shanghai HQ, David Ding, the HiPhi founder and CEO, said, “HiPhi A is a true work of art for the new era.” HiPhi came 1st in EV Car Range Testing beating Tesla who came 22nd out of 23 according to a report by wired.com Article Below Reported by ALISTAIR CHARLTON - Wired (2024) When comparing real range in cold weather to claimed WLTP range, the Tesla came 22nd out of 23 cars. The cold temperatures lowered the Model 3’s range by a thumping 117 miles, and only the Volkswagen ID.7 performed worse, coming to a halt 121 miles short of its claimed range. Context is important here. The Model 3’s 274 miles of arctic driving still put it in a fairly respectable eighth place using that particular metric, despite falling well short of expectations. I’ll come back to this, and why the Tesla still did rather badly, later. The winner was the HiPhi Z. It covered 324 miles and fell short of its WLTP target by just 21 miles, despite snow underfoot and temperatures as low as -11° Celsius (12.2° Fahrenheit). “The Hi-what … ?” you might well be asking. The Z is a new high-end electric car from HiPhi, yet another Chinese startup poised to give Elon Musk and much of Germany sleepless nights. “ Image from HiPhi Legal Disclaimer: INFYNIT is providing the content here for educational purposes only.
