On January 11th, BYD launched the DM-I Super Hybrid, a new energy technology independently developed and generated in the world, which is another new technology in the field of new energy vehicles.
At the beginning of the new year in 2021, new energy vehicles are particularly high-profile: HiPhi X, the most expensive car at present, announced that it has received 3,000 orders; On January 9th, Weilai Automobile released the first self-driving model ET7 and the second generation power exchange station in Chengdu … New energy vehicles also performed strongly in the stock market, showing signs of leading the main bull stocks in 2021.
The most expensive domestic smart car attracts a large number of fans
It is understood that among the most expensive domestic new energy vehicles on the market at present, it is Gaohe HiPhi X, a subsidiary of Gaohe Automobile. The founding version of the four-seat model costs 800,000 yuan, and the founding version of the six-seat model costs 680,000 yuan. On January 8th, at the Haikou New Energy Auto Show, Ding Lei, the founder of Chinese Express Gaohe Automobile, revealed that the limited edition of 3,000 original models of Gaohe HIX was about to be sold out, with a total of more than 32,000 users waiting for a test drive.
Why can you suck countless powders at such a high price? Ding Lei said that this stems from the two key words "smart technology" and "luxury" of Gaohe HIX. Gaohe publicizes itself as the world’s first evolvable super-running SUV with an open and intelligent H-SOA superbody electronic and electrical architecture, which can be co-created with users. Gaohe HiPhi X integrates the forward-looking technologies and resources in today’s world and subverts traditional cars with three breakthrough concepts: "scene definition design, software definition car, and co-creation definition value". Taking "software-defined car" as an example, users can flexibly call the hardware of the whole car through software programming to create customized car scenes and realize the real personalization of the car.
Mr. Chen, a consumer who has booked the car, told reporters that choosing this car is to value its high-tech content, and it feels very different from the current car.
Industry professionals believe that smart cars and traditional fuel vehicles will be two different species. Many functions that can’t be realized by a fuel vehicle may be realized on an intelligent electric vehicle. "Intelligent devices can only stay online in real time when they are powered on, but a small battery of a fuel vehicle can’t power on many appliances in the car in real time, so that they can stay online at any time."
Weilai automobile aims at BBA fuel vehicle users
"If you want to drive automatically, you will find that there is only one way, that is, it can only be done by electric drive. This is a very important logic. Why do I have great confidence in accelerating the popularization of electric vehicles, not only because of emission reduction, carbon reduction and environmental protection, but more importantly, it is consistent with technological trends. " On January 10th, Li Bin, founder, chairman and CEO of Weilai Automobile, and Qin Lihong, co-founder and president of Weilai Automobile, both appeared in Chengdu, and expressed this view in an exclusive interview with all-media reporters of Sichuan Daily.
On January 9th, Weilai Automobile released the first self-driving model ET7 and the second generation power station. Although ET7 will not be officially delivered until the first quarter of 2022, the new lidar, solid-state battery and new chip released are all the latest technologies. The hot online booking on that day once made Weilai Auto APP collapse, and at the same time made Weilai Auto perform strongly in the stock market. In this regard, Li Bin is very calm, and he hopes that ET7 can set a standard for the definition and composition of autonomous driving in the future.
Qin Lihong bluntly said that ET7 autonomous driving technology is a "half step ahead" in the transition period. "We hope to see the whole industry go in one direction. In the process of going in that direction, we can lead for one year or two, which is actually very difficult."
Li Bin denied the legend that Weilai Automobile’s competitor was Tesla. He repeatedly stressed that the real competitors of Weilai Automobile are BBA (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi). "It is our ideal to turn fuel vehicle users in the same price range into smart electric vehicle users." It is understood that Weilai Automobile sold more than 40,000 vehicles last year, equivalent to the sales of BMW and Mercedes-Benz for three weeks, accounting for a very low proportion of the entire high-end market in China, and even less in the world. "The road we have to go is still very long." Li Bin said frankly.
BYD Super Hybrid "Downsizing" to Seize the Fuel Vehicle Market
BYD DM-i Super Hybrid, which will be launched in March, has its own "ambition" if it is equipped with a super electric hybrid system model. "The competitors of DM-i super hybrid vehicles are no longer traditional plug-in hybrid vehicles, but will reduce the dimension and hit the same class of fuel vehicles. Let DM-i super hybrid enter the market segment where traditional fuel vehicles are absolutely dominant, and kill a blue ocean in the Red Sea. " At the press conference on January 11th, Wang Chuanfu, chairman and president of BYD Group, said.
The DM-i super hybrid released by BYD this time is a hybrid technology based on electricity, which has multiple advantages such as fast, economical, quiet, smooth and green. The fuel consumption is as low as 3.8L/ 100 km, the comprehensive cruising range of oil and electricity exceeds 1200 km, and the acceleration time of 100 km is 2-3 seconds faster than that of the same class fuel vehicle; While providing a driving experience infinitely close to pure electric vehicles, there is no endurance anxiety and charging anxiety. Compared with the fuel engine, the motor has higher driving efficiency and is environmentally friendly. Judging from the price announced at present, the price of super hybrid vehicles is not much different from that of fuel vehicles, and they can also enjoy the dividend of new energy vehicles, which is not small for consumers.
Fan Yongjun, secretary-general of Chengdu New Energy Automobile Industry Promotion Association, believes that the comprehensive upgrading of new energy automobile technology is an inevitable choice to win the market, and consumers are the biggest beneficiaries. The "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2025)" issued by the state proposes that the sales of new energy vehicles will reach about 20% of the total sales of new vehicles by 2025. In 2020, the sales of new energy vehicles in China accounted for only 5% of the total passenger cars, only 4% in 2019 and only 3% in 2018. "With an annual growth rate of 1 percentage point, it will not reach 20% by 2025. The biggest competitor of new energy vehicles is not themselves, but traditional fuel vehicles. Only by continuously improving technology and enhancing consumers’ confidence in buying can we truly seize the market."
