How does it compare?
Cenntro LM864H is a striking contender in the burgeoning electric vehicle market, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning, GMC Hummer EV, and Bollinger B2. Lets dive into how the Cenntro LM864H stacks up against its uncompromising competition on the parameters that matter most: load capacity, range, power, charging time, and price.
Range
The LM864H boasts a range of 300 kilometers (186 miles), which puts it in a decent position against the Rivian R1T that clocks in a range of 480 kilometers (298 miles). However, it does lag slightly behind the Ford F-150 Lightning at 370 kilometers (230 miles) and the powerhouse that is the GMC Hummer EV with its 529 kilometers (328 miles) range. As for the Bollinger B2, it offers a not-so-humble 322 kilometers (200 miles). Cenntro has done reasonably well, but there is room to flex those battery muscles a bit more.
Acceleration and Power
When it comes to raw power, the specifics of Cenntro LM864H’s acceleration are a well-guarded secret. Nevertheless, let’s assume it has enough juice to compete. You see, the mighty GMC Hummer EV sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just about 3 seconds, while the Rivian R1T clocks this in about 3.2 seconds. The Ford F-150 Lightning gets it done in 4.5 seconds, and then there’s the no-nonsense Bollinger B2 at a respectable 4.5 seconds. Power-wise, it’s an arms race out here.
Charging Time
The whopping 108.8 kWh battery of the Cenntro LM864H promises fewer pit stops, yet specifics on charging time again remain under cover. Comparatively, the Rivian R1T takes approximately 30 minutes to juice up to 80% on a 200 kW fast charger. The Ford F-150 Lightning rivals this with around 41 minutes to 80% with a 150 kW charger. The GMC Hummer EV stands tall, getting to 80% in roughly 40 minutes with its 350 kW capacity. The Bollinger B2, sticking to its minimalist roots, achieves an 80% charge in close to 75 minutes with a 120 kW charger.
Load Capacity
Now, load capacity is where the Cenntro LM864H proudly stands its ground. Specific numbers are sketchy, but it seems to offer a similar heft to its bulky cousins. The Rivian R1T can carry around 800 kg (1764 lbs), while the Ford F-150 Lightning boasts a commendable 907 kg (2000 lbs). The herculean GMC Hummer EV follows with an impressive 1360 kg (2998 lbs), whereas the rugged Bollinger B2 channels its inner beast with a solid 2268 kg (5000 lbs). As we zero in, Cenntros offering should be able to hang with the big boys in the load department.
Price
Price tags on these mean machines vary, but for our European readers, Cenntro LM864H remains hush-hush on its cost. The Rivian R1T starts around $67,500 (approx. £49,400/€58,200), Ford F-150 Lightning rolls in at around $39,974 (approx. £29,250/€34,450), GMC Hummer EV is the wallet-buster at $112,595 (approx. £82,400/€97,000), and the Bollinger B2 is priced around $125,000 (approx. £91,500/€108,200). Without a listed price, Cenntro may offer a captivating alternative, potentially undercutting its rivals.
In conclusion, the Cenntro LM864H is carving out a dynamic niche, locking horns with some esteemed competitors. With respectable range, impressive load capacity, and an air of mystery, Cenntros latest EV makes a robust case for itself amidst the electric vehicle titans.
