Chapter 88
Hongqi’s successive actions have brought shocks to the high-end market of the industry, which can be described as landslides and tsunamis.
It almost forced those luxury brands to jump over the wall.
But in this situation, even if they jump over the wall, it is useless. They can only swallow their anger.
In contrast, many domestic brands have been oppressed by joint venture luxury brands for so many years, but they feel that they have watched a wonderful drama!! They are even a little happy to see it!
There is no way.
Luxury models above one million… including supercars and supercars of tens of millions, which are usually not related to domestic cars.
Although domestic traditional car companies have a high profit every year, they are only selling well at the price of family cars.
It can be said that there are very few that have truly entered the luxury car price range of 300,000 to 600,000.
That is, in the past few years, new energy companies have developed rapidly, and through the curve overtaking of pure electric vehicles, some traditional car companies, including some new forces, have the opportunity to sell some new energy vehicles into the field of luxury cars.
Some of them sell well and can compete with BBA in sales every month.
But in the end, it still hasn’t completely stood firm.
Once there is a big fluctuation in the market, a wave will come, and these newly emerging high-end new energy models may collapse in a very short time.
So now all domestic car companies are gritting their teeth and adding fuel, even if they are losing a lot, they continue to invest in research and development, and frequently update and replace to increase product strength.
Now for many domestic traditional car companies, new energy pure electric vehicles are the opportunity to enter the high-end in the future!
If you can really seize this opportunity, you may become the next century-old giant car company in the future!!
At present, many emerging technologies are integrated in new energy models.
Pure electric vehicles are better than traditional oil vehicles in many fields, including acceleration performance, intelligence, and their own configuration. But the real core technology is undoubtedly battery technology, which is also the most criticized point compared with oil vehicles.
Oil vehicles can easily run 600 to 700 kilometers with a tank of oil.
Even if there is no oil, it only takes three minutes to go to the gas station to get full of oil and get on the road.
And now electric cars.
Although the nominal”cltc endurance” can reach 600 to 700 kilometers.
But in reality, the actual range will be reduced by half, and can only run about 400 to 500 kilometers.
If you encounter extremely cold weather, the entire range will be further reduced.
At that time, one box of electricity may only be able to run 300 kilometers.
And the charging time is not short, and fast charging also takes an hour.
A few high-end pure electric vehicles support faster charging speeds, but those supercharging stations that claim to have higher power have very few laying densities.
Assuming that it really reaches a special time period, pure electric vehicles still have shortcomings in energy replenishment efficiency that are difficult to cover up.
So, the consensus of various car companies at present is that whoever can master the breakthrough of the current battery energy density first and completely solve the safety problem, that car company will definitely be able to stand firm in the field of high-end pure electric vehicles, and completely defeat the fuel vehicles of joint venture luxury brands in all aspects!!
Recently, when the Hongqi supercar was released, many traditional car companies discovered an extremely shocking fact!!
That is –
Hongqi actually has mastered the”ultra-high density battery technology” that is currently difficult to break through in the world!!
The supercar made by Hongqi is actually said to be able to run 1,200 kilometers.
And it is”NEDC endurance”!
Not the”CLTC endurance” that is currently the mainstream in the market!!
(In the professional endurance test standard, the NEDC endurance standard is more stringent than the road conditions, usually reaching a level close to 1:1, which is much more rigorous and durable than the normal CLT endurance. If a car’s NEDC endurance is 500, then converted to CLT endurance, it is at least 650 or more)
BYD headquarters.
Wang Chuanfu is sitting in the office.
At this time, his brows are furrowed, and his expression is extremely serious and focused.
The screen shows a supercar that is constantly shuttling through the track, as fast as a ghost, and starting in a straight line like a rocket!
In the complex and winding professional track, every turn is like a thunderclap, and the body posture is as stable as an old dog!
It can be said that this is almost a supercar that has taken mechanical quality and performance to the extreme!!
It can make all racing enthusiasts lose their minds!
But Wang Chuanfu’s attention is not on this.
It was on another secondary screen next to it. (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The entire PPT was filled with dense information, and on it you can see all the parameters and channel information about this Hongqi supercar!!
Wang Chuanfu’s eyes were solemn, and he was shocked!!
After the Zhejiang race, he immediately asked someone to collect all the information about this car, especially the super battery installed on the Hongqi supercar!!
“It seems that Hongqi has really mastered the ultra-high-density battery technology, and can actually increase the range to a terrifying 1,200 kilometers, and it’s not a CLT… If they want, they can completely mark this car with a range of 1,600-1,700 kilometers.”
“Now, not only will the entire supercar market change, but even the entire new energy vehicle market may be shaken!!”
Wang Chuanfu could no longer remain calm!
Before, he was present when Hongqi released its first high-end car”Hongqi S9″.
Although he was also shocked and amazed by those technologies, he was not as shocked as he is now when he saw the Hongqi supercar!!
Because the battery installed in the Hongqi supercar! [] is something that can truly”change the dynasty”!!
As the CEO of BYD, he knows very well what this means.
The reason why BYD has reached its current height and is thriving in the field of new energy vehicles is actually a big core reason, They have mastered a full set of self-developed blade battery technology, which is ahead of other car companies in the industry, and can achieve self-production and self-sales, almost competing with the CATL batteries currently shared by other car companies.
But now.
A technology that far surpasses their blade batteries has appeared on the market!!
Based on the energy density, it is at least 2.5 times that of their mass-produced batteries!
This energy density is scary to think about!
The technical difficulty here.
Wang Chuanfu roughly estimated that even if they work hard on self-research for another five years, they may not be able to catch up!!
The calculation is really shocking!
“.I think it is time to start a deep cooperation with Hongqi. Now there is a technology on the market that can change the dynasty. We at BYD must find a way to seize it!”
Summoning all the executives, Wang Chuanfu expressed his opinion.
When he said this, the executives present were shocked.
“Boss, do you mean to buy batteries from Hongqi? But BYD is a big battery manufacturer. If we do this, won’t the models we produce in the future be working for Hongqi?”
“Yes, the battery technology displayed on the Hongqi supercar, we still don’t know how much it costs. It is said that some top laboratories can now produce batteries with amazing density, but the cost is more expensive than a car. The Hongqi supercar is sold so expensively, maybe the cost of a single battery in it is very scary, maybe one battery is one million, which is affordable for a supercar.”
“If we continue to research on our own for a few more years, we may have a major breakthrough!!”
……
Many executives and shareholders expressed their opinions.
Most of them were not happy.
Most of the cost of new energy vehicles is batteries. If you control battery production, you control the fundamental profits.
Now they are asked to buy batteries from Hongqi. How can they accept this? ?
Wang Chuanfu looked at the executives deeply:
“It is still impossible to judge the battery cost of Hongqi, but have you ever thought about it (Li Zhao), if the ultra-high density battery of Hongqi can really be mass-produced and the cost is very low, then when there is a large number of cooperation with other car companies, how should we BYD deal with it?”
Suddenly.
Many executives looked at each other.
If this is true, then it would be a big loss to be complacent at this time!
Because if the technology mastered by Hongqi can really be mass-produced, it will definitely be a bloodbath in the industry.
“We have mastered the blade battery technology, which allows us to attack and defend. With the existing resources, even if we contact Hongqi at the same time, we can have more advantages than other car companies. If we can reach a technical cooperation route, it would be great. Otherwise, once other car companies move first, we will fall behind in all aspects!”
Wang Chuanfu made the final decision.
In any case, he felt that he had to contact Hongqi.
And judging from the technical strength currently demonstrated by Hongqi, this ultra-high-density battery has a great possibility of mass production.
On this day, it was not only BYD.
There were many car company CEOs who had the same idea as Wang Chuanfu.
The senior executives of many traditional car companies such as Geely, Changan, and Great Wall began to get restless.
A high-level discussion was launched on the terrifying battery technology demonstrated by Hongqi!!.
