Established in 2021 in Shanghai as Polestones Automobile, Rox Motor emerged under entrepreneur Zhang Jin’s vision to create extended-range electric SUVs. The company’s flagship model, the Rox 01, features a 56 kWh lithium-ion battery complemented by a 1.5 L range-extender engine, delivering a combined driving range exceeding 1,300 km. Designed by Pininfarina, the Rox 01 integrates AI-enhanced infotainment, over-the-air software updates, and DC fast-charging capable of 10–80% charging in 30 minutes. In late 2023, the brand transitioned to the Rox Motor name and announced plans for a second model, the Rox GT, targeting premium EV consumers seeking long-distance versatility. Rox Motor’s strategic partnerships emphasize rapid expansion of charging infrastructure and service networks across key Chinese provinces.
