Arcfox Beta T1 battery-swap version launched, priced at 52,000 and 60,000 yuan

On November 13, Arcfox Auto unveiled its "Ji+ Era" universal battery-swapping ecosystem strategy, with the Arcfox Beta T1 battery-swap version launched simultaneously. The new model is offered in two variants, priced at RMB 52,000 and RMB 60,000 at terminal retail, respectively, under a battery leasing scheme, and comes with a limited-time policy of 10,000 km of free battery swapping. The Arcfox Beta T1 battery-swap version is a small pure electric model, equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a peak power of 95 kW and a top speed of 150 km/h. The battery is a 54 kWh lithium iron phosphate swap battery from CATL, providing a CLTC pure electric range of 530 km. Leveraging CATL's Chocolate battery-swap system, the new model supports battery swapping in 99 seconds and features 53 active battery detection functions on the vehicle and 66 at the station. CATL's Chocolate battery allows users to check battery status via an app, and batteries in the network enjoy lifetime monitoring, lifetime warranty, and lifetime free replacement and repair services. BAIC Arcfox and CATL are jointly advancing the "Ji+ Era" universal battery-swapping ecosystem strategy, building the battery-swap network through a co-construction and sharing model. As of the end of September 2026, more than 2,500 CATL Chocolate battery-swap stations had been built, covering 200 cities across 31 provincial-level regions nationwide, with plans to increase the number of battery-swap stations to more than 3,000 by the end of 2026.
