Leapmotor B01: electric sedan — batteries and versions
Leapmotor B01 — the compact electric sedan from Chinese manufacturer Leapmotor, with production starting in 2025. We look at its batteries, power, versions, and what you need to know if such a car appears in the Lithuanian used market.
B01 in brief
B01 — a four-door compact (C-class) electric sedan with a sleek body and low profile, based on the manufacturer's LEAP 3.5 architecture. It's a car for those who need a spacious, accessible electric vehicle for daily use.
So far, the B01 is mostly sold in China, and there's no information on its official sale in Europe. Therefore, it's very rare in Lithuania, and most cars, if they appear, would be imported individually.
Which version to choose
The B01 is offered in several versions, which mainly differ in battery capacity and equipment. Smaller batteries are suitable for city and suburban driving, while larger ones are ideal for long trips and mixed use.
Higher trims come with LiDAR sensors and advanced driver-assistance systems. Whether these features work in Lithuania depends on the software and maps, so check before buying.
Batteries and power
The B01 has LFP batteries with capacities ranging from approximately 44 to 70 kWh, depending on the version and year. The electric motor's power ranges from about 100 to 185 kW (approximately 135–250 hp).
According to the manufacturer, the range on a full charge, as per the Chinese CLTC cycle, is approximately 510 to 670 km. In reality, especially in winter, this will be lower, so before buying, ask for a battery condition report.
What to check when buying a used B01
Firstly, check the import documents and compliance with the European market: software, language, charging port (Chinese standards may differ from European ones). Ensure the car is safe to drive on Lithuanian roads.
Inspect the battery condition, tyres, brakes, and all driver assistance systems. Find out where in Lithuania you can service the car and how to obtain spare parts.
