Geely has revealed the world's first hybrid car with a replaceable battery

Geely has announced the Haoyue R7 crossover, which is positioned as the world's first “hybrid” with the ability to quickly change the battery to a pre-charged one. In addition, the novelty boasts a long range.

The Haoyue R7 will be compatible with CATL battery replacement technology at special stations. If necessary, owners of the car will be able to charge it at home or use special stations in the city. In addition, energy for the batteries will also be generated by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine.

According to the brand representatives, the Haoyue R7 will be sold without a battery, which can later be rented for a small monthly fee. This will not only reduce the price of the car but also provide an improved user experience, saving the driver from having to spend a lot of time charging it.
