Where Brutalism Meets Electron Flux

Gone are the boxy silhouettes of old-school pickups. Measuring 5.33 meters long, the Hunt EV sculpts functionality into an electrified statement. Two distinct front fascias cater to diverse tastes: The sealed grille version features illuminated “JAC” lettering flanked by “Hunter’s Eye” sequential turn signals, radiating futuristic vibes; The heritage-inspired variant retains the fuel model’s grille but adds blue accents signaling its EV heart. Along the profile, 18-inch aero-optimized wheels contrast with the 205mm ground clearance – a visual metaphor for its dual personality. The game-changer? A flat-floor cargo bed that eliminates wheel arch intrusions, boosting usable volume by 15% – enough for ATVs or expedition gear.

TCO Revolution

Real-world consumption hovers around 18kWh/100km. At residential electricity rates, per-km cost dips below ¥0.1. As verified by small business owners: Fuel savings offset the price premium versus diesel trucks within two years – effectively gifting owners a compact sedan’s value after five years.

Commercial to Premium Transformation

Step inside to a cabin inspired by Beijing’s Forbidden City architecture. The T-shaped dashboard blends soft-touch 搪塑 (táng sù) materials with brushed aluminum trim. Below the piano-black AC vents lies a 55W wireless supercharger – a nod to modern gadget dependency . The digital experience revolves around a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and Zhiling 3.0 infotainment with millisecond-speed voice control for navigation/climate/entertainment.

True innovation lies in scenario-smart features:

3.3kW V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) powers tools, drones, or camp kitchens via 220V outlets in the cabin and bed

74L waterproof frunk stores fishing gear or muddy boots – repurposing the traditional engine bay

Active Noise Cancellation + ambient lighting filters out rear leaf-spring vibrations, delivering luxury SUV-grade serenity

Commercial Mastery

For utility crews, the Hunt EV’s 870kg payload capacity and 2-ton towing rating easily handle generators or cable reels. Its IP68-rated battery ensures operation during torrential rains, while onboard power export slashes operational costs – recharging drones costs just 1/8 of traditional diesel generators .

Lifestyle Catalyst

Campers: 3.3kW output simultaneously runs a karaoke system and induction cooker for 12+ hours

Off-roaders: Electronic differential lock + crawl mode conquer cross-axle terrain; ground clearance surpasses Toyota Prado

Families: 6-way adjustable rear seats + child safety locks make school runs unexpectedly refined

The Hunt EV outguns rivals: It demolishes the Great Wall Poer EV (450km range, single motor) on performance, and undercuts the Tesla Cybertruck (unavailable in China) by two-thirds while offering superior chassis tuning for Chinese roads – front double-wishbone coils + rear 5-leaf springs balance comfort and load-bearing prowess .

Verdict: The Electric Workhorse That Pays Its Way

The Hunt EV transcends mere electrification – it reimagines the pickup as a “mobile smart hub”. In an era of volatile fuel prices, its lifetime cost advantage humiliates diesel rivals. Meanwhile, V2L functionality spawns new business models – from mobile cafes to emergency command centers. While the Cybertruck remains a Silicon Valley fantasy, the JAC Hunt EV thrives on real Chinese roads. With honest 500km range, brutal 516N·m torque, it delivers an electrifying message: The electric pickup revolution isn’t coming – it’s already here, and it’s profitable.
