Performance details include: Powertrain: A tri-motor system powered by either an 86.111 kWh or 102.768 kWh battery pack. Range & charging: A maximum range of 900 km. Supported by an 800V high-voltage platform and 6C supercharging, the GT7 can regain 1 km of range per second of charging. Corporate expansion and funding Aistaland recently completed a capital increase of approximately 1.099 billion yuan (161,617,600 USD), as reported by Caixin. This funding round introduced several strategic external shareholders: CATL: The battery giant invested 300 million yuan (44,117,600 USD) via its investment arm, securing an 8.28% stake. The GT7 will utilise CATL’s Qilin batteries. Bosch: Participated through Boyuan Capital with an investment of 80 million yuan (11,764,700 USD), taking a 2.21% stake. State-owned assets: Investment entities from both Shenzhen and Guangzhou municipal governments participated in the round. Employee ownership: The Hongtu No. 1 platform contributed approximately 43.19 million yuan (6,350,800 USD), representing a 1.19% stake. Following the capital injection, GAC Group retains its controlling position with a combined direct and indirect stake of approximately 69.65%. GAC Aion (including Hyptec) sales performance. GAC was one of the first carmakers to try to partner with Huawei, but for some reason, their collaboration plan was rejected by the GAC board in 2021. Subsequently, GAC continued to develop its own new energy brands, Aion and Hyptec, while Huawei teamed up with Seres to create Aito. Monthly sales for GAC Aion (including Hyptec) are generally over 20,000 units, even surpassing 40,000 last December. However, despite these strong sales figures, the brand has been weighed down by its association with ride-hailing services, leading GAC as a whole to record a loss last year.
