History

History of the Aiways Gamme Aiways - électrique/hybride

Aiways' "electric/hybrid" range is in fact entirely electric: from its founding in 2017, the brand was conceived as a manufacturer exclusively dedicated to battery-electric vehicles, offering no combustion or hybrid models. Its entire offering, from the U5 to the U6, relies on pure electric propulsion. This "all-electric" positioning is a strong identity trait, shared with other young Chinese brands born with the rise of electromobility. For the buyer, this means charging at home or at a station, with no combustion engine maintenance. In Quebec, as with any heavy, high-torque electric vehicle, certified winter tires would be essential for traction and winter safety. These vehicles, however, are not offered in North America, the brand remaining focused on Europe.

Technology

Technologies, engines and platforms

Fully battery-electric (BEV) architecture, with no combustion or hybrid powertrain. A battery of about 63 kWh from CATL, a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, and the "More Adaptable Structure" platform on the U6 accepting several battery and powertrain configurations.

Tires and wheels

Tire and wheel compatibility

Les VUS électriques Aiways (U5, U6) sont des véhicules de gabarit moyen qui chaussent généralement des jantes en alliage de grand diamètre, typiquement autour de 18 à 19 pouces, avec des pneus de section relativement large adaptés au poids des batteries. L'entraxe le plus courant sur ce segment de VUS chinois est habituellement de type 5 trous. Comme ces véhicules sont absents du marché québécois, les dimensions exactes doivent être confirmées sur la plaque ou la documentation du véhicule. Pour tout VUS électrique circulant au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires et fortement recommandés vu le couple instantané et la masse élevée; prévoir au besoin un second train de jantes pour faciliter le changement saisonnier.
