Chapter 91
On the other hand,
BYD headquarters and several other traditional car companies all exchanged emails with Hongqi at the same time.
They learned that Hongqi was going to build a super battery factory.
Among them,
BYD and Hongqi had the most in-depth negotiations.
Not only is BYD currently putting almost all its chips on the new energy industry, but the most important thing is that
Wang Chuanfu was also the first to make a ruthless decision to share the current mineral vein equity with Hongqi!! Of course,
Hongqi must also regard BYD as the highest priority partner, and battery packs should be supplied to BYD first, and corresponding preferential conditions should be given.
When several other traditional car companies learned of the relevant news, they were all shocked. They secretly cursed the old fox in their hearts!! Wang
Chuanfu acted too quickly this time.
Those lithium mine equity are good things.
Many of them want to hold them in their hands, and when negotiating with Hongqi, they want to negotiate again and strive for more benefits.
After all, this is the lifeblood of new energy!
Who is willing to throw it away easily? ?
BYD has invested in a lot of lithium mining shares at home and abroad in recent years, and the resources in its hands are the most among these traditional car companies.
But I didn’t expect that such a large amount of resources would be shared with Hongqi.
Just as decisive as the decision to abandon oil vehicles and fully enter the new energy industry!!
Several other traditional car companies were dealt with in this way.
Now it’s too late to curse inwardly, and they can only continue to negotiate with Hongqi anxiously, trying to regain the initiative of cooperation.”Three seven seven”…………
…………
BYD Headquarters
“Hongqi called back and said that based on our great sincerity, although the first phase of the factory has not yet been built, they can send us a batch of solid-state ion batteries in advance for the development of new models and research. In addition, in the near future, they can also allocate a part of the production capacity to supply us, BYD, separately.……”
“As for other domestic car companies, they will have to wait until the first phase of Hongqi’s battery factory is built before they can get the finished products. Their cooperative status is far inferior to ours. You should know what this means.”
In the huge conference room,
Wang Chuanfu looked at everyone. This time,
Wang Chuanfu can be said to have made a decision that was enough to shake the entire BYD Group against all odds!!
It can be seen that in the conference room, there are still many executives and major shareholders with ugly faces.
They do not agree with this major change in the group.
They believe that
BYD has the largest lithium mineral resources among traditional car companies, and should use sufficient time to negotiate with Hongqi to maximize its benefits!!
It should stand on an equal dialogue with Hongqi.
Instead of making hasty decisions like now!!
However, when they heard that Hongqi was about to send a batch of finished solid-state batteries to BYD, many faces began to change and they became shocked!!
Unbelievable!!
“What? Is Hongqi really that generous?”
“This move is too fast! I heard that their internal supercars are all competing for production, but they can still allocate some batteries to us. Is this really a return of favor? ? ?”
“However, BYD also made a huge bet this time and bleeds a lot!!”
“Solid-state ion batteries are really coming? The super battery that claims to be able to travel more than a thousand kilometers on a single battery?!!”
“We at BYD have spent nearly ten years developing blade batteries, spending tens of billions on research and development, but now we can only achieve a large battery with an actual range of more than 500 kilometers, and it will be discounted in extreme weather. This battery technology is really appalling!!”
Many executives.
After hearing about Hongqi’s treatment of its partners, their originally extremely ugly faces gradually improved.
If this is the case, BYD can completely use the cooperation with Hongqi to establish a first-mover advantage, which is equivalent to rising together with Hongqi’s east wind!!
When some of the main R&D personnel in charge of battery technology heard that the”solid-state ion battery” had arrived at the headquarters, they all couldn’t hold it back!
There was a hint of excitement and disbelief in their expressions!! The fact that batteries with this energy density can be mass-produced is beyond their technical cognition.
Those of them who are devoted to technology find it incredible. They really want to know the internal structure and R&D ideas of this super battery pack.
Wang Chuanfu said:
“Right now, this is a good opportunity for BYD to rise. Once pure electric vehicles get rid of the endurance problem, they will not only be able to completely eat up the low-end market, but also have no problem entering the high-end market.”
“The battery packs shipped by Hongqi should have arrived by now, and we can start research immediately.”
In the low-end market, hybrid vehicles and cheap pure electric vehicles have gradually eroded the market share of gasoline vehicles. Even the once popular Nissan Sylphy has had to reduce its price and give up its market share.
Because users at this price point are very sensitive to the cost and expenses of using a car.
The only thing many people worry about is the problem of short battery life and poor battery life.
But now, all of them can be solved.
From the moment Hongqi directly shipped the battery pack, it proved that BYD made the right bet!! After the voice fell, all the R&D personnel could not sit still.
Ten minutes later,
Wang Chuanfu and his team arrived at the R&D headquarters.
In front of them was a brand new battery pack with standard size and area. It was obviously laid according to the standard of pure electric vehicle chassis on the market, and there was no special design on the appearance.
This is actually the best, because such a universal battery pack size is the most suitable for secondary development and adaptation.
“Let’s test the capacity first and connect it to the internal program sent by Hongqi.”
Wang Chuanfu said, his eyes shining. The most important thing about a battery pack is its energy density and internal structure.
Only these can determine the true technical level!!
The current pure electric vehicle battery packs all use interfaces formulated by national standards. BYD’s R&D engineer nodded immediately, plugged the device into this solid-state ion battery pack, and used the internal matching program sent by Hongqi to debug it.
“Calibrated SOC 20%, current capacity 46kwh!!”
After the connection was completed, looking at the capacity displayed on the instrument, although they were mentally prepared, the R&D engineers were still shocked!
This solid-state ion battery pack has obviously been pre-charged at the factory, but there is only 20% of the power left, but it has a full reserve of 46 degrees of electricity!
This energy density is too scary!!
“hiss……”(To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The group of people behind him gasped!!
“Our blade battery is the same size as this battery pack, and can only store 100 degrees of energy at most when fully charged. The 108-degree large battery pack placed under the SUV is specially designed to increase the area and squeeze the chassis space.……”
“However, the energy storage density of this solid-state ion battery is more than twice that of ours!!”
The executives and engineers present were terrified!
What kind of Gou Ba technology is this? []
You should know that the current battery energy density can be increased by 10%, which is a major breakthrough!
CATL, as an energy giant, occupies half of China’s new energy. At present, the energy density of the best internal battery pack is only about 15%-20% stronger than the mainstream on the market.
What does it mean to double it directly on this basis?
They thought that the actual range of Hongqi’s supercar is 1,200 kilometers, and the density of the solid-state battery it is equipped with will be very high, but they didn’t expect it to be so high!!
It is so high that it can reach a range of 1,000 kilometers without any energy consumption optimization!!
It’s terrifying!!!
“First, let’s charge it, and then we’ll do a safety test.”
Wang Chuanfu was also shocked.
He stared at the solid-state ion battery.
After a while, he took a deep breath and said,”
Now that the battery capacity and energy density have been verified, the next key issue is to verify the safety of the entire battery pack.
Although we have received assurances from Hongqi
, BYD’s R&D department must verify this again.
“Boss, can we directly conduct safety tests on this solid-state ion battery? Should we scan and disassemble it for research first?!!”
The R&D engineer in charge of the test was shocked and said:……..
He even felt a little reluctant.
In his opinion, this battery pack in front of him is the treasure of the current new energy technology!
Extreme safety testing will directly destroy this solid-state ion battery.
Wang Chuanfu heard this and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry:
“Why are you so distressed? This time, Hongqi has shipped a total of fifty solid-state ion batteries. Even if one is scrapped, we still have it.”
To be honest.
If Hongqi only shipped one solid-state ion battery, Wang Chuanfu and the entire BYD R&D headquarters would have to use this thing for research!
Fortunately, Hongqi was very generous this time.
The first batch of fifty solid-state ion batteries were sent to them for research.
As soon as these words came out, the two R&D engineers breathed a sigh of relief. They started to operate with confidence.
As one of the most researched battery technology companies in China, BYD also has complete testing equipment and venues.
The famous needle puncture experiment used for promotion of blade batteries is also the result of tens of thousands of R&D and safety verification of blade batteries.
The main Neither the ternary lithium battery pack nor the lithium iron phosphate battery pack can withstand this level of testing.
In order to ensure safety.
The two R&D personnel directly placed the Hongqi solid-state ion battery pack in the test site with the highest protection capability and the highest safety index.
The entire space is a hundred square meters. In addition to the test machinery, there are no combustible materials.
Even if a big explosion occurs.
In such a large space, absolute safety can be guaranteed, not to mention that people are standing outside the glass cover.
You know.
The energy density of the Hongqi battery pack is the highest in history, and it is not too cautious.
After the current is fully charged.
Wang Chuanfu nodded at the inside of the glass cover:
“Let’s start with the needle puncture experiment.”
With such a high energy density, if it can pass, then the safety factor will completely surpass their blade batteries.
The R&D engineer nodded and pressed the button.
At this moment, everyone’s heart was in their throat!
The test machine started, and the two sides of the machine fixed the battery pack. A sharp steel needle as thick as a chopstick pierced into it from the bottom.
During the puncture of the battery shell, the steel needle obviously encountered huge resistance. The two R&D engineers were immediately shocked. The shell of this solid-state ion battery was much harder than their conventional blade batteries.
But soon, they manually adjusted the torque knob 2.5 to increase the puncture force!!
Suddenly, the battery shell broke open, and when the steel needle pierced the battery pack, a wisp of light smoke came out, and a slight”sizzling” sound came out from the inside!
“It has started, it has started to react!!”
Wang Chuanfu and many other executives opened their eyes wide, not daring to blink.
Once the battery pack is severely damaged, the internal charge will be unbalanced, leading to a short circuit. The heat generated during a short circuit will cause thermal runaway of the battery, and in extreme cases, the temperature will rise to over 300 degrees Celsius, thereby triggering an explosive reaction. Moreover, this is a purely chemical reaction, and even firefighting equipment cannot be used to put out the fire. You can only wait for the reaction to end!!
This is why many new energy vehicles are difficult to handle after spontaneous combustion.
But soon.
The entire BYD team was shocked!!
Their eyes were wide open!!
I saw that the solid-state ion battery of Hongqi, after such a serious and thorough puncture, except for a little light smoke and crackling sounds at the beginning, it actually returned to calm!!
“��Guys!!”
“There was no sign of burning or thermal runaway!!”
“hiss……”
“This is an ultra-high-density battery pack that stores more than 200 kWh of electricity. It’s hard to imagine!!”
“Is it the wrong puncture position?!!”
The two R&D engineers were stunned!
They were shocked by the result! They suspected that they punctured the wrong position!!!
