Golden Week in early May is not over yet.

Just when the people who eat melons are still discussing the sudden beep charging and the wireless charging technology that may change everyone's lifestyle, the two suddenly released news stole the limelight that originally belonged to beep charging in an instant.

The first is Star Technology.

At the latest press conference, the spokesperson of Star Technology admitted in response to reporters' questions that the lithium-air battery has made a key breakthrough and has completed the production of the first generation of lithium-air battery with Zhongshan New Materials.

There is nothing in this news itself, as early as after Professor Lu's paper was published, people had a little premonition.

The only surprise may be that this time not only the paper came out, but the patent came out, and even the visible finished product came out.

Almost five minutes after answering reporters' questions, Zhongshan New Material's stock price pulled straight to the price limit, and everyone did not react at such a rapid speed.

It can be said that it is just a sentence of effort, and the GEM has an additional market value of hundreds of millions......

Of course, although this news is amazing, it can only be regarded as fulfilling people's previous speculations, and it has not achieved the sudden sensational effect, and the impact is quite limited.

What really caused a sensation, or what really shocked people's eyes, was the second piece of news.

That is, the gossip that was widely circulated some time ago - the news that Star Technology bundled the patents of lithium-air batteries and wireless charging was officially recognized at the press conference.

The spokesperson of Star Technology said in an extremely positive tone that they believe that higher technology brings a higher quality of life, and people's pursuit of quality of life is endless, so wireless charging technology and lithium air batteries should be indistinguishable from each other.

This statement has a bit of a strong flavor of reasoning, whether people are pursuing a higher quality of life or not, this should be determined by the market.

But it is precisely this kind of almost random speech, once reported, that immediately caused a shock in the entire new energy industry.

The subsequent announcement published on the official website of Star Technology can be regarded as a further confirmation of the statement of its own spokesperson.

That is, Star Technology will bundle the wireless charging technology and lithium-air battery technology it holds!

Moreover, the bundled wireless charging technology is completely different from the standards formulated by the Wireless Power Alliance, PMA Alliance, and A4WP Alliance, but is completely defined by Star Technology.

Originally, the entire new energy industry was trembling under the obscene threat that the lithium empty battery was about to come out and had not yet come out, but now this almost rogue move of Star Technology has directly ushered in an eight-magnitude earthquake for the entire new energy industry.

Now, those new energy companies that have invested heavily in lithium-sulfur batteries not only have to face the reshuffle of lithium-air batteries, but also have to be washed again by wireless charging technology.

What the?

Do you have a reserve of wireless charging technology?

If there is, there will be it!

Regardless of whether your previous wireless charging technology used the QI standard or the A4WP standard, whether it was a mainstream technology or a non-mainstream technology, anyway, from now on, as long as you plan to get the technical authorization of lithium-air batteries, you have to use our system and adopt our standards!

Or, incur more expensive patent fees for lithium-air battery technology, such as paying for the price of the whole vehicle......

A famous car friend on BBS.

Related topics have been brushed to the sky.

Whether it is the owner of a fuel car or the owner of a new energy vehicle, this matter is hotly discussed.

[, Star Technology is going to enlarge the move! ] 】

[Which knowledgeable big guy will analyze and analyze, what does it mean to bundle lithium-air batteries and wireless charging technology together? 】

[This means that if you want to use Star Technology's lithium-air battery patent, you must pay for a complete set of wireless charging technologies that have nothing to do with the lithium-air battery patent!] And you have to sign a compatibility agreement for wireless charging! If it is not accepted, when using the patents related to lithium-air batteries, Star Technology will levy patent fees according to the price of the whole vehicle. 】

[I'll go, bundle sale? Isn't this a hooligan? 】

[Yes, it's a hooligan, but what can you do?] Unless you can bypass the patent barriers set up by Star Technology, you will either compromise or pay the money! It's like Qualcomm, he has to charge the patent fee for the chip according to the price of the mobile phone, what can you do? 】

[This trick is aimed at Tesla...... Some time ago, Evgo just announced its entry into the Chinese market, and I see that the charging piles with Tesla brand have been spread everywhere in Shanghai, claiming to have a coverage rate of 85%! If all the lithium-air batteries use the supporting wireless charging system provided by Uni-Star Technology, then their charging piles can only be rusted. 】

[Wait and see, Tesla will definitely make a move, even if Tesla doesn't move, I'm afraid the United States won't give up......]

In fact, as the big brother in the field of new energy vehicles, Tesla stood up for the first time to express regret over the news and hoped that Star Technology would reconsider this decision.

At the latest press conference, in the face of reporters who asked questions one after another, even though Musk maintained the greatest degree of restraint, this temperamental man was still almost angry and scolded his mother on the spot.

"We are very happy to see that Star Technology has done a great thing for the new energy industry, don't get me wrong, I'm really happy! I'm definitely not talking back! ”

"But I have an immature suggestion here, and I hope they will think about it together. If they still want to do something good, it's better to dig a pit and bury themselves in their place, the kind that buries them with a shovel! ”

While technological advancements are a good thing for society as a whole, meaning that people will have more choices beyond traditional modes of transportation, this is not necessarily the case for those businesses that eat this bowl of rice.

In the latest issue of the newspaper, the New York Times quoted Musk as saying at a press conference that he expressed concern about the emergence of lithium-air battery technology.

Rapid technological progress, like a weapon overheated by continuous shooting, does not necessarily benefit the development of new energy technologies in the long run.

At the same time, while the technology may sound great, the potential safety risks are still a concern that needs to be taken seriously.

In fact, compared with the angry Musk and the hyped media, whether it is the local new energy vehicle companies in China that were the first to be impacted, or other major international automobile manufacturers that are ready to make new energy vehicles, after the initial surprise and uneasiness, they quickly returned to calm.

Treaties are indeed unequal because there is no choice.

But in fact, it did not directly harm their vested interests.

Compared with lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-air batteries only need to add a design similar to the grille in front of the car, and the technical upgrade can be easily completed, and even the design of the car does not need to be greatly improved, so that the cruising range can be increased by at least 1.5 times, which undoubtedly gives many potential customers who are still swaying, another reason to choose new energy instead of traditional energy.

As for the cost and risk of technology upgrading, it can also be transferred to upstream battery companies. It doesn't matter if wireless charging and lithium-air batteries are bundled together......

That seems to be something that battery manufacturers and charging pile companies that are forcibly tied to a chariot should worry about?

Except for some companies such as Toyota, Ford, and Volkswagen, which have expressed concern about the risks that may result from adopting Chinese standards, most of them have honestly chosen to accept them.

If you really want to scold your mother, you can only buy Evgo with a huge amount of money and plan to do your own charging pile business.

They have just reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and other well-known automobile manufacturers, and are ready to make a bold move into Huaguo's power output industry.

Even if they want to upgrade their charging piles now, it's too late.

Not to mention the limited charging piles with a total value of one billion US dollars that have been put into Shanghai, even if they want to keep up in the field of wireless charging, they have to adopt the technical standards of Star Technology and purchase chips designed and patented by Star Technology......

This means that they not only have to do research and development of related technologies from scratch, but also have to take the initiative to put shackles and anklets on their own development. And if Evgo, it would mean that billions of dollars of investment would be wasted......

Tesla's grievances, as well as the protests it issued, naturally attracted the attention of the US authorities.

Almost immediately after Tesla's press conference, the U.S. Department of Commerce also gave a public opinion on the matter when answering questions from reporters at a regular meeting.

Although it is only an understatement, it still makes many people hear some meaningful flavors.

“…… Bundling two unrelated patents together will not help the industry grow in good faith, and we will keep a close eye on the latest developments in this matter. ”

Obviously, there is a hint of warning in this sentence.

Many people with a keen sense of politics have already noticed that things are gradually becoming interesting......
