Background
Mobilize is a brand of the Renault group dedicated to passenger transport, such as vehicles reserved only for professional drivers (especially taxi drivers) or car-sharing. The first Mobilize Limo fleet, consisting of 40 units, was put into service in mid-2022 by Cabify.
Overview
The JMEV Yi is the version available for the Chinese market of the Mobilize Limo, also available with a 147-horsepower and an expected NEDC range of up to 400 km (250 mi). In September 2021, Renault announced its intention to market the Yi in Europe as a subscription-only vehicle for professional drivers, under the name Mobilize Limo. The Mobiize Limo was discontinued in 2023, as Mobilize judged the subscription-only model had no commercial potential for now. On 10 September 2026, JMEV launched the CATL ChocoSEB battery swap version of the Yichi 05 in their home city of Nanchang. It is equipped with CATL's #25 ChocoSEB battery pack and is capable of battery swapping at CATL's ChocoSEB battery swap station network, of which there are 36 locations in Nanchang at the time of the launch. According to JMEV, ten enterprises attended the launch and signed contracts for 1,100 units. The ChocoSEB version is equipped with a 54 kWh air-cooled swappable LFP battery pack which provides 530 kilometres (329 mi) of range and can recharge from 30–80% in 25 minutes. It is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous front motor outputting 222 horsepower (166 kW; 225 PS) and 210 N⋅m (155 lb⋅ft) of torque, giving it a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 8.9 seconds and a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).
Sales
=== Mobilize Limo === 33 vehicles have been sold in France. 43 units were registered in Spain, mainly through a partnership with Cabify.
