This journey covers a variety of road conditions, including urban streets, highways, bridges, coastlines, and ramps, thereby fully showcasing the IC12E's exceptional performance and adaptability in diverse environments. The test data shows that over a distance of 1,272 km, with an average energy consumption of as low as 0.7 kWh/km (the vehicle was not fully loaded), demonstrating its extraordinary leading strength in new-energy technology.
During the test, the IC12E successfully completed a 510 km range-challenge between Germany and Denmark, with SOC dropped from 99% to 31%, and remaining range indicated 170 km. In the charging-efficiency test, the SOC rose from 13% to 99% in just 1 hour and 40 minutes when charging with a single gun. In the continuous uphill sections in Norway, the IC12E demonstrated a strong power-performance with a grade ability of 20%.
