Arcfox has announced that its alphaS (or αS) electric car is the first model to run on the Huawei Inside full smart car solution platform. The Huawei Inside will run the alphaS’ array of sensors while the cabin runs on Huawei’s HarmonyOS. The alphaS will be available in China with a starting price of about 397,000 yuan ($59,000). Arcfox is owned by BAIC and will hope to drive its sales using the home-grown Huawei Inside and HarmonyOS technologies.

The Arcfox alphaS is the world’s first car to run on HarmonyOS and comes with a full-stack smart car solution. Huawei’s cross-platform HarmonyOS powers the cabin of the new Arcfox EV which was launched earlier. The EV maker is now ready to start delivering the car albeit to Chinese customers, at least for now. Huawei Inside is a smart car solution that supports various levels of autonomous driving. The αS is equipped with LIDAR, radar modules, and 9 assisted-driving system cameras.

The αS can reach a speed of 100km/h in 3.5 seconds with its electric motor delivering a peak power of 473kW and a maximum torque of 655Nm. The αS has a range of 200km which can be replenished quickly with its 800v charging rate. You can charge the 187kW battery up to 50% in 15 minutes. There are no indications as of yet that the αS will subsequently be available outside China. The premium option in the Arcfox αS is priced at 429,000 yuan ($63,000).
