Thermal management wins the day in Norwegian El Prix

Just before Human Horizons ran into financial difficulties, paused production for six months and approached Changan Automobile about a potential rescue bid, its HiPhi Z model emerged as the winter efficiency champion among electric vehicles at the world’s largest electric car test, the biannual “El Prix” in Norway, due to its impressive thermal management system.

Battling the chilling temperatures with resilience, this EV outshone 23 competitors by covering an impressive 522km on a test route featuring a range of challenging conditions, from -11°C to +4°C, including the rugged Dovrefjell mountains and the fierce storm “Ingunn,” the most powerful storm to hit Norway in 30 years.
