The Aion V Plus was unveiled in September 2021 as a refreshed version of the V. The Aion V Plus sports redesigned front and rear end styling and interior while featuring ultrafast charging technology with the battery capable to be charged at up to 880 V with a maximum charge power of 480 kW.[5][6]

Design
The Aion V Plus measures 4,650 mm (183 in) long, 1,920 mm (76 in) wide and 1,720 mm (68 in) tall with 2,830 mm (111 in) between the axles. The front bumper has become simpler, and Aion claims it drew inspiration from Star Wars characters to come up with the new design. For the interior, the digital dashboard and the touch-enabled infotainment system are separate from each other, and the infotainment display measures 15.6 inches diagonally.[7]
Powertrain and range
Power of the Aion V Plus comes from three models of batteries rated from 70 to 95 kilowatt-hours, supporting an NEDC-rated range of 500 and 702 km (310–436 miles). All powertrain variants incorporate two electric motors, while total output ranges from 221 PS (218 hp / 163 kW) in the base spec to 271 PS (267 hp / 200 kW) in the top spec.[7]
Rapid-charging battery
In late September 2021, GAC Aion officially launched a version of the Aion V Plus (previously Aion V) equipped with a battery that charges from 30% to 80% in 10 minutes. That corresponds to a 0–80% charging time of 16 minutes. The battery capacity is 72.3 kWh, and charging for just 5 minutes adds 112 km (70 mi) of range. The manufacturer refers to this version of the battery as SPEED+. Additionally, a battery version charging about twice as fast, called SPEED++, was also announced. In this case, charging for 5 minutes is expected to provide 207 km (129 mi) of range. A vehicle using this battery version was demonstrated but has not reached the market so far.
However, such charging speeds require an appropriate charging station. GAC Aion has demonstrated a charging station able to provide 480 kW of power (Aion's A480 supercharger), and announced that a network of such stations will be built in China; as of early October 2021 there is just one such station in Guangzhou.[8]
The manufacturer says the Aion V is its first model to utilize "super multiplier battery technology". According to GAC Aion, the Aion V Plus is powered by the company's magazine battery, which is non-flammable in pinprick tests. The battery has a high life span and is capable of maintaining 95 percent capacity even after 1,600 cycles.[9]
