Chapter 1142 The increasingly competitive battery market
Seeing that Bai Ningyuan had no comments on Letong Box, Ji Zhengzhen took the next day's plane and flew directly to the capital, leaving only Bai Ningyuan and his security team still in Qiantang.
Of course, Bai Ningyuan has only the last stop left. After meeting with Zou Ming, he will return to the capital directly.
He and Zou Ming have not seen each other for more than half a year. At that time, Zou Ming could be said to be his early partner. In short, the friendship between the two has been around for many years.
After Bai Ningyuan's RV came to Chaowei headquarters, Zou Ming had been waiting in his office for a long time. After seeing Bai Ningyuan appear, he gave Bai Ningyuan a big hug regardless of the age difference between the two.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. You guy feel strong again recently. Have you persisted?" Zou Ming looked at Bai Ningyuan for a while and asked with a smile.
"Well, I've been doing a lot recently and I feel a little lacking in energy. Only then did I realize how important it is to have a good body." Bai Ningyuan replied, "You have gained weight recently."
Since last year, Bai Ningyuan has hired a fitness and health coach with Moran’s reminder. In addition to using it to protect his physical health, he also insists on doing fitness exercises every day.
This has been persisted for almost a year, and the effect has slowly been revealed.
Bai Ningyuan in his previous life was an absolute fat man. Now, a bright vest line appeared on him with a well-proportioned muscle. If it was exposed, it would be enough to scream from some idiot girls.
Zou Ming still knew Bai Ningyuan's temperament very well and did not sit and chat with Bai Ningyuan too much. Seeing that Bai Ningyuan had already rested, the group went straight to the battery laboratory.
Previously, the two electric vehicle battery research and development laboratories jointly established together made great contributions to the birth of EMP's electric vehicles, because their research results gave Falcon the capital to gain a foothold in the highly competitive mid-to-high-end automobile market.
After all, in addition to its own performance, endurance is an extremely important indicator for measuring electric vehicles. If it were not for the results of the Ultra Micro-emp Electric Vehicle Battery R&D Laboratory that made the Falcon's range reach 400 kilometers, then the Falcon can only be regarded as a pretty electric coupe at most, and it would not have attracted so much attention internationally.
To some extent, it is this team that has made the current falcon.
Now, this battery laboratory is also actively carrying out technical research and wants to further improve the battery life of the battery pack equipped with falcon.
Because the results they have developed before have almost reached the forefront that they can reach at present, they have to put in countless efforts and efforts every progress.
In addition, there is another team that is also developing low-cost battery packs to promote them to other domestic electric vehicle manufacturers.
At present, with the further introduction and improvement of relevant national policies, the electric vehicle market seems to have become a piece of fat, and all capitals want to get a share of the pie. This market has begun to enter a period of barbaric growth.
Not all companies have the capital to develop batteries. They only purchase finished parts for assembly. For an electric car, in addition to the appearance, the most important thing is the battery, so the electric car battery market is also in full swing.
Among the batteries in the domestic market, in addition to the ternary lithium batteries used in the emp series, there are also Biarti's lithium iron phosphate batteries and lithium manganese oxide batteries. These three batteries are desperately expanding their market share and competing for the user base.
At present, due to the outstanding performance of the Falcon and emp-c series, other small businesses are more willing to purchase and use ternary lithium batteries. First, the performance is relatively powerful and small in size, and second, the price is cheaper than the other two batteries.
However, the competition in the ternary lithium battery industry is also very fierce. In addition to the domestic ultra-mix-emp, the SDI, LG and Japan's Panasonic are also powerful forces in this field. If it weren't for the fact that there was a bit of local protectionism in China, and Falcon had made the most powerful explanation with its actual performance, then this market is likely to be firmly controlled by these foreign brands.
After all, it is undeniable that domestic battery brands still have a certain gap in international competitiveness compared to these well-known and well-known companies, and it is already quite difficult for Super Micro and emp to achieve this level today.
"I have been burning money in it for so long, and now it is finally time to harvest!" Looking at the batches of assembled battery packs on the assembly line, Zou Ming's face was a bit emotional.
When Bai Ningyuan told him that EMP was going to build electric vehicles, his first reaction was that he felt that Bai Ningyuan was crazy. After all, in the international field, China's automobile industry has been weak for many years. It is not that simple to say that it is, so he was more suspicious of Bai Ningyuan's words, but Bai Ningyuan had a strange infectiousness, which convinced him at once, which made him involuntarily bring some passion in his heart, and willingly accompanied Bai Ningyuan to go crazy.
In the early stage, because everything had to start from scratch, and even several project teams advanced together and started research and development simultaneously, even if they applied for financial subsidies for the national high-tech industry, it was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for this huge investment. They were burning money almost every year, and the result of the money was to burn a coupe like Falcon, which was eye-catching. Now many electric vehicle manufacturers will come here to purchase finished battery packs and convert technology into benefits.
But it was thanks to Zou Ming's willingness to accompany him for so long. If it weren't for him, it would be almost impossible to accomplish all this by relying on Bai Ningyuan himself alone.
Of course, Zou Ming did not expect that Bai Ningyuan's idea would be successful, so whenever he thought of what Bai Ningyuan said to him, he always felt an indescribable feeling.
"That's it, but with the continuous expansion of the electric vehicle market, the business opportunities of the battery industry will soon be discovered by other people who are interested. At that time, more and more people will come in to share the cake, and the competition will be more intense. Especially, there are also well-known foreign companies, who are eyeing each other. In today's economic globalization, relying solely on local protectionism cannot last for too long, so constantly increasing their competitiveness is the king." Faced with Zou Ming's happiness, Bai Ningyuan is more of a sense of crisis.
Although I have achieved good results now, it is far from the moment I can sleep on the credit book.
The competitors have been secretly accumulating strength, and perhaps in the next second, the environment will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Born in distress and dying in happiness is an eternal truth.
Not to mention, it depends on the electric vehicle industry. In foreign countries, after a long period of burning money, Tesla announced that it would officially deliver the products that users had booked this year. Although it was not the models they relied on to become famous in their previous lives, it means that Tesla has the ability to make super electric vehicles and can compete with emp; and in China, Biarty is also a latecomer. They are pushing new energy vehicle technology from automotive technology, from plug-in hybrid power to pure electric power, and their product line is very rich. The F6 officially released at this year's Beijing Auto Show has a range of 300 kilometers, although it is not as good as Falcon, but it is obvious that Biarty also has the qualification to make a fortune in this industry and can have a place for the strong.
Therefore, emp has never given up on its progress. After absorbing some off-road technology from Land Rover, the new pure electric SUV concept car has entered the final testing stage. It is expected that the mass production work will end within the next two years. At that time, with the help of the golden period of the domestic SUV market, it will bring another wave of rhythm.
"Is there no new breakthrough in the fast charging field?" After coming out of the battery pack production line, Bai Ningyuan said to Zou Ming again.
In addition to battery life, among the important indicators to measure the excellence of an electric car, the charging time is also one of them.
The technology used by falcon at the beginning, combined with the supporting ultra-high-speed charging pile, can complete the charging work within 2 hours.
Such a result can be considered powerful, but Bai Ningyuan is still not satisfied. He feels that this time is still very long. What he hopes is that one day in the future there can be a technology that can replenish 100% of the power in ten minutes.
Of course, he also knew that such technology could not be achieved in a short period of time, but he was still working hard in this direction. Every minute of reduction was a victory for the R&D team.
However, Bai Ningyuan is just a demanding party after all, and Zou Ming is an expert in the battery industry, so this can only be solved through him.
"It's not that simple. The previous research methods have almost come to an end. With other methods, the team has not made any new breakthroughs, but they are using other technologies. If they want to apply them to reality, it means that all the equipment laid before needs to be rebuilt. Compared with the time that can be shortened, the cost is too huge and not in line with the actual interests. Therefore, it is still difficult to achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time." Zou Ming's face was filled with a wry smile. There was no such thing as to succeed casually in this world. Although he also understood Bai Ningyuan's long-cherished wish, some things cannot be solved by rushing...
