Chinese automaker FAW\u2019s premium brand Hongqi<\/strong> has introduced updated versions of its Tiangong 05 sedan and Tiangong 06 SUV with an advanced 800V electrical architecture. The new models bring ultra-fast charging capabilities to a more accessible price bracket, starting at 171,800 yuan (approx. $23,900).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

800V Architecture Brings Ultra-Fast Charging To Mass Segment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest highlights is the adoption of an 800V high-voltage system in both models. This allows the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in just 12 minutes, putting these EVs among the fastest-charging vehicles in their segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes this significant is the pricing \u2014 both models sit below the 200,000 yuan mark, a segment that is now witnessing aggressive competition in China\u2019s EV market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
