GAC T9 Battery Swap EV Tractor
GAC's heavy electric tractor with a swappable 603 kWh battery: up to 475 km, and GAC gives a consumption, as little as 1.2 kWh/km, which makes it one of the few Chinese newcomers whose energy cost per kilometre can be estimated. The swap takes three to five minutes but needs an Aulton station on the route; no price has been published.
