Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng Motors on Jia’s Ecstatic Sex (2023) UncutWednesday announced its entry into the flourishing hybrid electric vehicle segment, claiming its extended-range hybrid technology will allow a car to travel 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) on a full tank and full charge. Xpeng’s upcoming extended-range electric vehicle (EREV), which can be charged by a gas engine when the battery is low, could have an EV-only range of 430 km, chief executive He Xiaopeng added at a press event in the company’s headquarters city of Guangzhou. Meanwhile, the Volkswagen-backed firm said its first in-house designed artificial intelligence chipset, Turing, could rival three of NVIDIA’s DRIVE Orin processors combined in terms of processing capability, and that this would enable a large AI model on Xpeng vehicles to contain 30 billion parameters.
