On September 14, Li Xiang, CEO of Ideal Auto, wrote about the growing problem of flagship SUVs. He believes that this is only a transition phase. “The natural advantages of pure electric architectures determine that the size arms race will definitely end.” “The size is still rolling in at this stage because the industry is still using the inertia of the tanker era to make products. That inertia will subside.” Li Xiang said, “In the age of fuel trucks, if you want more space, you can only make cars bigger. Not needed in the era of pure electricity. The motor is very small, and the front suspension can be shortened, saving space directly back to the cockpit. The battery is flat on the chassis, and the floor can be leveled, so there is no need to rely on vehicle height to replace head space. With the same interior space, a pure electric vehicle requires an outer shell that is one turn smaller than an oil truck. If you want to understand this, it doesn't make much sense to write an article in terms of size.”
