Changan’s commercial EV division has launched the new-generation Changan Ruixing EV (Gold Shield 50kWh) — a practical, affordable electric minivan targeting China’s vast small business and logistics market. Two models are available: the EM60 from ¥76,900 ($10,600 USD) and the EM80 from ¥80,900 ($11,200 USD). For a limited time until April 30, 2026, buyers get a ¥1,000 deposit that counts as ¥2,000, a lifetime battery warranty for the first owner, and either ¥3,000 trade-in subsidy or 3-year zero-interest financing.

New “Digital Cube” Logo and Modern Front Face

The new-generation Ruixing EV adopts the Changan Kaicheng brand’s new “Digital Cube” geometric logo — a clean, three-dimensional upgrade from the traditional Changan sun emblem. The redesigned front fascia significantly improves recognition and gives the van a more contemporary, professional appearance.

Interior: Car-Style Cockpit, 9-Inch Screen, Flexible Seating

The interior breaks from the traditional commercial van formula. A passenger car-inspired wraparound cockpit design with a three-spoke steering wheel and column-mounted gear selector creates a surprisingly pleasant driving environment.

A 9-inch central touchscreen supports smartphone connectivity and remote vehicle control via app — features unheard of in commercial vans at this price point. The seating configuration is genuinely flexible: 2, 5, 6, or 7 seats, freely switchable between pure cargo and passenger-cargo dual use.

Gold Shield Battery: CATL Cells, 4,000+ Charge Cycles

The proprietary “Gold Shield” battery system uses cells sourced from CATL — the world’s largest battery manufacturer. The pack is rated for over 4,000 full charge-discharge cycles, translating to over 1.5 million kilometers of theoretical battery life before significant degradation. The first owner receives a lifetime battery warranty. CLTC range: 380km.

2C Fast Charging: 30% to 80% in Just 15 Minutes

The Ruixing EV supports 2C fast charging — meaning the battery can accept charge at twice its capacity rating. In normal temperatures, a 30% to 80% charge takes just 15 minutes. For business operators running delivery routes, this effectively eliminates range anxiety as a constraint on daily operations.

Powertrain: 70kW, Flat-Wire Motor, 20%+ Grade

Power comes from an in-house developed flat-wire dual-in-one electric motor producing 70kW (94hp) and 175N·m. The integrated five-in-one powertrain controller manages all drive functions efficiently, achieving 13.8kWh/100km energy consumption. Maximum fully-loaded grade climbing capability: over 20% — sufficient for China’s hilly delivery terrains.

The chassis uses a commercial-grade ladder frame with front MacPherson independent suspension and rear 5-leaf progressive steel springs (53mm total thickness) with lateral stabilizer bar, plus Changan’s 3H high-rigidity frame and cage-type high-strength body structure.

Why It Matters: The Backbone of China’s Electric Logistics

China has millions of small business operators, delivery drivers, and rural entrepreneurs who need a practical, affordable, reliable workhorse. The Ruixing EV at $10,600 USD with CATL cells, lifetime battery warranty, 380km range, and 15-minute fast charging is exactly that vehicle. For comparison, a Ford Transit Connect starts at $35,000 in the US — petrol-powered, no warranty extension, no fast charging. China’s commercial EV market is years ahead of the rest of the world.
