Chongqing, a city famous for its mountains and bridges, sees wheels rolling continuously, connecting the lives of countless households inside and outside the city. For the urban delivery force here, the name "Changan" signifies deep trust.

　　Master Huang from the "Transporter Vehicle Evaluation Team" has been driving the Kaicene Ruixing EM80 for over two years. He told our reporter, "Why choose Changan? It's a long-standing brand. In Chongqing, its quality and reputation are second to none. I trust it!"

From Fuel to Electric: A "Sweet" Transformation for a Mountain City Transporter

　　Master Huang is a Chongqing local and has been in urban delivery for four years, transporting fresh vegetables and fruits, or delivering building materials to various construction sites. His routes cover the nine main urban districts including Shapingba, Jiulongpo, and Yubei, with a daily mileage of 200 to 300 kilometers.

　　Two years ago, Master Huang drove a Changan fuel-powered van. He recalled, "Back then, I drove a manual. Everyone knows Chongqing's road conditions—lots of hills and curves. During rush hour, with all the traffic, I was constantly on the clutch, brake, and gear shifter. By the end of the day, my leg was exhausted. Later, Chongqing implemented some restrictions on fuel vehicles, and since new energy is the general trend, I switched to an electric vehicle."

　　Over the past two years with the Kaicene Ruixing EM80, Master Huang's deepest impressions have been "ease" and "saving money." He stated, "In traffic jams, an electric vehicle is much simpler. Just press the brake. If it moves a bit, releasing the brake lets it creep forward on its own. No need to constantly operate the clutch and shift gears. It's much easier by the end of the day."

　　What surprised him even more was the economic benefit: "With my old fuel vehicle, when gas prices were seven or eight yuan, the cost per kilometer was about 0.6 yuan. Now with the EM80, I often charge slowly at home at night. Electricity costs just a few mao per kWh, which works out to less than 0.2 yuan per kilometer. That's a saving of over 0.4 yuan per kilometer!"

　　Master Huang calculated carefully: "Based on 200 kilometers a day, I save 80 yuan in costs daily. Driving 300 days a year, that's 24,000 yuan! For an ordinary family like ours, that's not a small sum."

　　The tangible cost reduction and efficiency gains have made Master Huang very satisfied with his initial choice.

The Older Kaicene Ruixing EM80: Three Trustworthy Advantages

　　Regarding the Ruixing EM80 he has driven for over two years, Master Huang gave a fair assessment: "A few things really appeal to me. First is the range. Its mileage meets my daily 200-kilometer transport needs. It has never left me stranded on the road. That gives me peace of mind."

　　"Second is the space. The cargo compartment is 2.8 meters long, 1.55 meters wide, and 1.35 meters high. It's square and practical. I can fit about 6 cubic meters of cargo. Whether it's vegetable baskets or building materials, it meets most customers' requirements."

　　"Third is the battery. It uses CATL. Everyone recognizes this brand for its quality. Even if I sell it as a used vehicle later, this battery holds its value better." Master Huang also mentioned that after talking with peers driving other brands of new energy vehicles, he feels the Kaicene Ruixing EM80 has advantages in space and battery brand.

Test Driving the 2025 Kaicene Ruixing EM80: An Upgraded Experience

　　This time, the "Transporter Vehicle Evaluation Team" brought the all-new 2025 Kaicene Ruixing EM80 for Master Huang to test drive. Although his older model is already reliable enough, he was equally full of anticipation for the new model's upgrades.

　　"The new front end looks more spirited and modern," Master Huang praised the new exterior. The all-new tech-focused electric front fascia gives the vehicle a completely refreshed character while maintaining the practical, boxy, and rugged profile.

　　The core battery remains the CATL brand that Master Huang trusts, with a 41.86 kWh capacity and an extended warranty of 8 years or 400,000 kilometers. This undoubtedly provides reassurance to transporters, significantly reducing concerns about battery quality and vehicle residual value.

　　In Master Huang's actual road test, the new Kaicene Ruixing EM80 achieved a stable comprehensive range of around 270 kilometers. Master Huang commented, "I'm confident about the range. After driving it, it feels close to the advertised figure. It fully covers daily urban delivery and even higher-intensity transport needs. I feel secure."

　　The charging experience of the new model has also improved. It supports VIN code recognition; after binding, it enables plug-and-charge at compatible charging stations, eliminating the hassle of scanning codes. In the test, the fast-charging speed was satisfactory, going from 21% to 82% in 37 minutes, allowing quick recharging during a lunch break.

　　In terms of power, the new model adopts Changan's three-in-one integrated electric drive technology, offering quick start response, strong climbing capability, and a top speed of 100 km/h, fully capable of occasional intercity transport. Master Huang stated, "I tried it on Chongqing's hills and slopes. It felt powerful and effortless. It drives as smoothly as my old one, and the chassis might feel even more stable."

　　Additionally, inside the cabin, the wrap-around design, rotary gear shifter, abundant storage compartments, and thick, well-supporting seats all reflect a comfort level comparable to passenger vehicles.

　　The newly added anti-rollback and crawl functions undoubtedly enhance operational convenience and safety for Chongqing's hilly urban environment and for stop-and-go scenarios during loading and unloading at warehouse docks.

　　Two years of weathering the journey together have laid a solid foundation for Master Huang through the reliability and durability of the Kaicene Ruixing EM80. Now, through firsthand experience, he has seen the comprehensive upgrades in range, charging, comfort, and intelligence of the new model, deepening his trust in the name "Changan."

　　For transporters like Master Huang who navigate the city, choosing a partner like the Kaicene Ruixing EM80—one that saves both money and worry—undoubtedly injects stronger and more enduring momentum into their transport journey.
