The most direct manifestation of Mercedes-Benz's confidence, or Maxwell's confidence, is the recent Paris Motor Show, a biennial world-class grand exhibition, and this year is regarded as the first year of electric.

In the first half of the year, Ultimate, which was born in the sports car industry, directly made other flagship sports cars choose to postpone their model releases in the future to avoid its edge.

Later, Maxwell also exposed a 200% battery with equal volume capacity, which solved the old problem of electric battery life almost overnight, and also made all walks of life discuss the era of electric vehicles!

Now it's being brought to the auto show again!

Mercedes-Benz, which has attracted the most attention, has brought their first pure electric SUV - EQC! It is positioned as a luxury mid-size SUV, and this project has been changed again and again, and now it is confidently unveiled!

On the regular version of Mercedes-Benz, the high-power version uses an electric motor cooperated with Maxwell, with an output of 550 horsepower, a peak torque of 900 Nm, and a range of more than 650 kilometers in NEDC mode!

It seems that he also learned that Yang Ming's original data says everything, in terms of performance, it is not as explosive as a supercar, and it can reach 2,000 horsepower at every turn, because the SUV positioning is different.

It also attracts the most attention for the range, the regular version of the EQC is only 450 km, but without much change in battery weight and volume, Maxwell's battery can reach 650 km!

This data is very interesting to the outside world.

Because this is no longer a theory, the EQC is about to be mass-produced!

Mercedes-Benz has already received two thousand orders, and it is expected to be put into production and delivered to customers in 2019 next year!

The most difficult endurance problem of electric vehicles has changed from the worrying 400+ to 600+!

As long as the top management of Mercedes-Benz is not too stupid and lowers the price a little, it can quickly establish a reputation and seize the market!

In the early stage of the electric vehicle market, profitability is still the second most important thing for car companies, the important thing is word of mouth, audience, and the most critical of which is battery technology.

Once this is the most important point, once it is solved, even if it is slightly more expensive than competitors in the same level, it is acceptable!

What's more, the safety of Maxwell's battery has long been heard! The original six hellish tests, and then the crazy lap challenge of the Ultimate sports car, have all confirmed the reliability of the management system.

The battery life is enough to crush the opponent, and the battery safety is guaranteed enough!

At this Paris Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz EQC has become the star product that has attracted the most attention, and the media is vying to report and experience, and the audience is constantly understanding and mastering.

Because unlike the unattainable ultimate, which costs more than $2 million and can only be consumed by the world's wealthiest people, the EQC is, to many extent, accessible to the middle class.

Its positioning does not exceed 100,000 US dollars, although this level is not close to the people, but the audience is broad all of a sudden, and there are still many families who can consume in developed countries in Europe and the United States.

Even in China, there are quite a few million-level luxury cars running on the streets and alleys today! Under the general trend of the national policy banning the sale of fuel vehicles, they will transition sooner or later!

So this time, Mercedes-Benz's decisive appearance has won praise from all walks of life!

Even the impact is Maxwell, as a battery supplier, Mercedes-Benz's decisive launch also indicates that Maxwell's technology has maturely solved all the problems of commercialization.

The 40-50% increase in capacity at the same volume has become a reality, and Mercedes-Benz has cooperated with them, and it has immediately achieved results that are difficult for its rivals to match.

People can't help but compare it with Tesla's Model X, and then feel that no matter how fancy the appearance is, and then the design concept of Internet +, but the core can't be solved at all, people still choose Mercedes-Benz.

The winner of this auto show is not so much Mercedes-Benz as the Maxwell battery behind the scenes.

When the results were outstanding at the auto show, Daimler's senior management also frequently communicated with the Eastern Group, and they wanted to continue to expand supply cooperation, and they also wanted to participate in investing in expanding production capacity and reducing costs!

Just like Li Wei did at the beginning, the more people participate, the more hopeful the cost will be!

And then they can let their trump card project, 200% battery capacity gradually come into reality, after the current battery is being chased by others, continue to come up with better technology, continue to lead the market.

The media, which is the best at chasing after the wind, has found that in addition to Daimler, BMW, Volkswagen, and GM have recently made plans to go to China!

Some reporters have already photographed Herbert Deases, the head of Volkswagen with his subordinates in a hurry, at Donghai International Airport, and his appearance has attracted countless media to consider battery cooperation.

Because of this time period and this popularity in the East China Sea, there must be only one goal for the public!

It's the battery!

After this news was exposed, the rest of the heads who were still planning their trips also hurried up!

"We have to be in person in a head-to-head manner in order to achieve the most accurate results of the negotiations. BMW's directors believed.

The Americans also have the same purpose: "With the current development trend, Maxwell wants to define battery technology, no matter what we or other futures, we can't lag behind when we take this step first!"

……

The uninvited arrival of these giants has made the domestic media see that new energy is worthy of redefining the starting line!

A certain automotive media V: "At any time in the past, these giants could not be so diligent and proactive, but now they must compete for the future!"

These words all revealed pride, which made Yang Ming, who was in charge behind the scenes, worried: "Do you think it will be someone cheeky to plagiarize technology?"

Li Wei thought for a moment and nodded: "There is a possibility." But we have patents, and we have confidential technology that can be used to maintain deterrence through lawsuits, and we have more time to respond. ”

Yang Ming thought about it again, and Li Wei also said: "Compared with this, I am more worried that they can't play with technology, so they will play the rules, give us the name of monopoly, and find a reason to give us a ticket." ”

Don't think that Westerners are serious about competition – that's only if they're technologically advanced. Once you don't take the lead, the technology can't play, then play the means.

Europe's fines for Qualcomm and Google are typical examples of companies that can't play with the United States. It is also well known that the United States will not let Huawei enter North America even if it is killed, and it is also known to passers-by to find various excuses for security risks.

Sometimes it's not like you're ahead of the curve and you're going to be able to play.

A red-headed document at home makes you have no play! An excuse for monopolizing and affecting national security abroad will also make you have no play!

Yang Ming is not very afraid in China, he is friendly with the above, and he is promoting national policies, even if someone is angry, he will not do it at this time.

But abroad is a bit of a problem...... Li Wei said in due course: "So I prefer to cooperate with Daimler or other companies after our value and ability are withdrawn." ”

"We don't need to expand our cooperation. Yang Ming understands that in reality, there is no situation where one person dominates all the markets - the end of eating alone will not be good-looking.

After Li Wei knew that he could figure it out, she said again: "I am looking for the most suitable and matching person around the world. ”

"We're definitely going to find the best, and at the same time keep more of our decision. "Yang Ming needs to follow the rules to play.

It's like there's never been a monopoly in the world with an oil company.

Batteries are similar to the oil industry, but they also have the flexibility that Yang Ming hopes: "By segmenting the industry, we can support technology cooperation, allow upstream and downstream to compete, and reduce overall costs." ”

"That's not bad!" Li Wei suddenly felt that her eyes lit up, "If this item is done big enough, we don't have to bear the cost of the entire link, and all steps can be shared!"

"Then the cost of the battery can be reduced in the face of competition. Yang Ming also feels that he has said the core he wants, and the cost of the battery will be reduced, and its market will have mature conditions!
