The installation of the first batch of charging stations is naturally placed in Shencheng, which is a matter that has been set a long time ago.

"When is the development of electric vehicles expected to be released?" Zhou Jingming continued.

The construction of charging stations needs to be determined according to the development progress of electric vehicles, otherwise it is not a good thing to install them too early.

"In the second half of the year at the latest, if it is sooner, it will be officially launched in the first half of the year after that, if it does not count the test work, it will definitely be able to complete all the development tasks in the second half of next year, that is, next year, our first electric car will be able to be unveiled at the auto show." Martin Eberhard replied.

Before Martin Eberhard and Coconi joined Tianming Group, the research on electrification has made great progress, only the technical problems of the battery have not been solved, and now the technical solution of the battery has been decided, and it will take another year to complete the development of electric vehicles.

"The development will be completed next year...... So, you guys refine the design of the charging stations, and the first batch of 100 superchargers, we are scheduled to start building them in June next year. Zhou Jingming thought for a moment, and then said.

The development progress of electric vehicles is faster than Zhou Jingming imagined.

After understanding the progress of electric vehicles, Zhou Jingming returned to Shencheng, because the next focus will be on the release of the hybrid version of Yixuan S3, as the first hybrid car of Tianming Group, this new car launch conference, will be presided over by Zhou Jingming himself.

On November 1st, Tianming Group officially announced that it will grandly release the hybrid version of Yixuan S3 on December 1st!

"A more economical and cleaner travel partner!"

This is the slogan used by Tianming Group to promote the hybrid version of S3, and Tianming Group, which has always focused on the use of new technology in vehicles, has carried the banner of new energy vehicles in China for the first time.

In recent years, with the rapid increase in domestic car ownership, the environmental pollution caused by automobile exhaust has gradually attracted more and more people's attention.

Although the emission standards are becoming more and more stringent, but the traditional car will inevitably cause damage to the ecological environment, many environmental activists also call on car manufacturers to develop "clean cars", but within the technical resistance, high investment costs, not to mention domestic, even internationally, there are few car manufacturers involved in this field.

In this context, Tianming Group resolutely announced that its first hybrid car is about to be released, which is a booster for the entire international automobile market, and major media are competing to report this one-ear news.

"Environmental Guard: Tianming Group is about to release its first hybrid car!"

"For the first time in the country. Tianming Group's hybrid version of S3 will be released soon!"

"Tianming Group driven by electrification: hybrid cars are coming, will pure electric vehicles be far away?"

…………

While the whole Tianming Group is busy with the release of the hybrid version of the S3, there is good news from the Tianming Racing Team again, Schumacher won the Drivers' Championship again in the F1 Championship that just ended at the Shencheng International Circuit, and the Tianming Racing Team also successfully defended the Constructors' Championship, drawing a successful end to this year's F1 season.

The news that Tianming Group is about to release a hybrid version of S3 has also made its old rival Toyota vigilant, and Toyota never thought that Tianming Group would be able to complete the development of hybrid vehicles so quickly.

The hybrid car market is almost a blank, Toyota's Prius is the undisputed hegemon, this time Tianming Group has extended its hand to the hybrid car market, the biggest impact, must be the Prius, which makes Toyota have a headache, because every time Tianming Group makes a move, Toyota can pay a painful price.

The release of the hybrid version of the S3 is bound to seriously affect the sales of the Prius.

The time soon came to December 1st, the new car launch of Tianming Group's first hybrid car, which was also officially held in the Shencheng International Convention and Exhibition Center, which was the first new car conference hosted by Zhou Jingming in the past three years, which is enough to see how much Zhou Jingming attaches importance to this car.

At the scene of the press conference, there was still a sea of people, and reporters from various media stood at the scene of the press conference, and everyone was looking forward to what kind of surprise Tianming Group would bring to consumers at the end of this year.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the press conference officially began, and Zhou Jingming also appeared in front of everyone.

"Dear journalists, from the beginning of last year to put forward the concept of the four modernizations of automobiles, it has been two years now, I said at the beginning, electrification is the next area that we Tianming Group will focus on, so two years later, I stand here, to bring you our group's first hybrid car ......"

At the beginning of the press conference, Zhou Jingming took the stage to speak, and then began to enter the introduction of the new car.

“…… The hybrid car released this time is the second generation model of our Tianming Group Yixuan S3, we have improved the power system on the basis of maintaining the original characteristics of the S3, and the hybrid version of the S3 will be powered by the motor and gasoline engine to provide power for the vehicle......"

"In terms of motor and motor, we chose an 85 kilowatt motor, which can make the S3 fuel saving rate reach 50% through the combination of the engine, and at the same time does not affect the power of this car as an SUV!"

Fuel saving rate up to 50%!

Hearing this, the scene immediately boiled, one of the shortcomings of SUVs is the high fuel consumption, but this time the use of hybrid power, it can be said that this problem is fundamentally solved, so that the sales of this car have not exploded?

"Fifty percent fuel savings, that's too high!"

"The Prius seems to be only 40 percent fuel-efficient. ”

"The fuel saving rate is high, and it does not affect the power, what kind of black technology is this. ”

…………

The reporters at the scene were taking pictures frantically while whispering, and none of them were not shocked by the performance of the hybrid version of the S3.

Immediately afterwards, the hybrid version of S3 under the gaze of everyone, slowly revealed the true face of Lushan, on the whole, this S3, and the first generation of YixuanS3 is not much different, but at this time, the reporter's focus will no longer focus on the appearance of this car, because the main focus of this car is fuel saving, that is, environmental protection!

Fuel saving and environmental protection are the ultimate goals pursued by electrification.

Next, Zhou Jingming announced the price of this car, compared with the first generation, the price of the hybrid version of the S3 has not changed significantly, but the original price has increased by 15,000 yuan, which is definitely good news for consumers.

"The launch of hybrid electric vehicles is just the first step in the electrification of our group, and in the coming time, we will continue to explore, and it can be guaranteed that by this time next year, our group's first pure electric vehicle will also meet you, and the super charging station for pure electric vehicles will also be completed next year. ”

Zhou Jingming continued.
