Although the surging power car plant is not yet complete.

But that doesn't stop Huang from designing electric cars.

Three car designers poached from Shanghai Volkswagen were designing the first electric car of The Surging Power according to Huang Haojie's requirements.

Huang Haojie's requirements are very simple, taking the Volkswagen Beetle as the prototype, integrating the classical style of classic cars, and using a large number of arcs.

In particular, the four wheels are wrapped in sheet metal, which almost takes on a hemispherical shape.

Judging from the design drawings of several designers, it is basically in line with Huang Haojie's ideas.

This electric car, which has just been designed, is expected to be launched in the spring of 2017.

The surging - elegant, is a typical A-class car, that is, a compact car, with a body of 4.52 meters and a wheelbase of 2.46 meters.

The front single motor, the motor power is 120 kilowatts, and the battery pack and motor are arranged together.

The reason why it is not arranged in the chassis like Tesla or Biyadi is mainly because the Thor battery does not burn and release heat, and does not need to expand the heat dissipation area to cool down.

The whole is a bit similar to the Beetle, but with a large number of arcs, it makes people feel softer and cute.

Since it is an A-class car, it is larger than the Beetle.

However, the drawings didn't look intuitive, and Huang Haojie asked them to start building a one-to-one model.

In addition, after Huang Haojie discussed with three designers, he preliminarily determined some of the surging - elegant configurations.

As an electric vehicle positioned as a scooter or for urban use, it is obvious that the range does not need to be too large.

Raytheon 1 generation battery, with surging 1 type motor, is equivalent to one kilogram of battery for one kilometer of battery life when fully charged.

Therefore, it is surging - elegant, only equipped with a 280 kg Raytheon 1 generation battery, and the actual range is about 280 kilometers.

As for the data that low-speed cruising can be close to 400 kilometers, Huang Haojie disdains to use it.

Like Tesla, this year their range is marked at 500 kilometers, the problem is that this number is definitely discounted, which means that they actually reach a maximum of about 350 kilometers.

It's simply crooked, don't mark it out without real materials, and this is the same for domestic cars.

They are known as 400, 500 kilometers of endurance, the problem is that when it comes to the actual run, it has shrunk, and the water is to death, especially the owners in the north, it is called the pit dad in winter, and the performance of lithium batteries has plummeted, making consumers miserable.

Therefore, Huang Haojie asked the surging power to use the actual battery life and not mislead consumers.

When he came to the laboratory of Raytheon Battery, he saw more than a dozen researchers or engineers testing the battery pack.

These are all battery packs in groups of 10 kg, and they are mainly in the experimental way, and the charging speed of 280 kg Thor batteries is the most suitable.

"How's it going?" Huang Haojie asked directly.

"Mr. Huang, we have tested more than 100 combinations these days, and these are three of them, which we think are more suitable combinations, you can take a look." An engineer with thick glasses said as he handed Huang a copy of the test results.

After taking it, he slowly flipped through it.

Rapid combination: single battery 0.5 kg, integrated 560 pieces, 4 minutes at home voltage (220 volts), 1.3 minutes at special charging station (500 volts).

Pros: Fast charging speed.

Disadvantages: The cost per kilogram has risen by about 6 Huayuan, and the battery management is difficult.

Medium combination: 2 kg single battery, 140 integrated batteries, 16 minutes at home voltage (220 volts) and 5.3 minutes at special charging stations (500 volts).

Advantages: The charging speed is moderate, the cost per kilogram rises by about 1.5 yuan, and the battery management is generally difficult.

Disadvantages: Charging is a bit slower.

Low-cost combination: 10 kg for a single piece, 28 pieces for integration, 80 minutes for a full charge at home voltage (220 volts), and about 27 minutes for a special charging station (500 volts).

Advantages: The cost per kilogram rises by about 0.3 Huayuan, and the battery management is simple.

Cons: Slow charging.

After Huang Haojie saw it, he frowned, obviously dissatisfied with these combinations.

Asked again: "Is there a single piece of one kilogram combination?" ”

The thick glasses engineer hurriedly pulled out one of the test reports on the side and handed it to Huang Haojie:

"Mr. Huang, this is a combination of a single piece and a kilogram."

Huang Haojie took it directly and looked at it.

Fast combination: 1 kg single battery, 280 integrated batteries, 8 minutes at home voltage (220 volts) and 2.7 minutes at a special charging station (500 volts).

Advantages: The charging speed is relatively fast.

Disadvantages: The cost per kilogram has increased by about 4.5 yuan, and the battery management is more difficult.

This is what Huang Haojie wants, after all, the surging - elegant positioning is used in the scooter or in the city.

With the increasingly perfect charging station network of the Thor system, the pursuit is fast charging convenience, otherwise how can the charging station make money.

Therefore, the charging speed of the battery must be fast, and a fast charge of 2.7 minutes is obviously very suitable.

After all, very few people will drive to almost charge it, generally the remaining 10~30%, most people will choose to charge.

Therefore, the charging time of the car owner is generally about two minutes, and it is less than the time to smoke a cigarette in two minutes, and no one will feel impatient.

If you get it for five minutes or something, it's obviously easy for the car owner to lose patience.

Huang Haojie calculated that with a 1 kg combination, the cost of a 280 kg battery is about 8,800 yuan.

The total manufacturing cost of a domestic gasoline car, including R&D, assembly, materials, etc., is about 50% of the selling price.

If you exclude the engine, gearbox and other gasoline power system components, the cost of a single car shell is about the same, and this cost is 30% of the selling price.

Therefore, for an electric car of 100,000 yuan, the cost of the car shell is 21,000.

In total, a battery electric car shell is 21,000 yuan, the battery is 44,000 yuan, and the motor and electronic control are 20,000 yuan.

The cost of a 100,000 yuan electric car is 85,000 yuan, which is almost twice the cost of a 100,000 yuan gasoline car.

Xinminhui Group released a "New Energy Vehicle Industry Report", which includes data on the cost allocation ratio of electric vehicles, which is how it comes, 30% to 45% of batteries, 20% to 25% of motors and electronic controls, and 20% of other parts.

It can be seen that if there is no policy subsidy for domestic electric vehicles, they will have already hit the streets.

Of course, using the surging power of Raytheon battery, the cost of the battery cannot be so expensive, the battery is 8800 Chinese yuan, plus some ancillary equipment, about 10,000 Chinese yuan.

The surging motor plus the electronic control equipment is about 20,000 yuan.

The chassis and body are about 21,000 yuan.

Then there are other equipment (air conditioners, speakers, etc.), about 10,000 yuan.

In other words, the cost of surging elegance is about 60,000 Chinese dollars.

After thinking about it, Huang Haojie felt that he should add some costs to the body and chassis, as well as other equipment, to make the quality better.

Of course, surging - elegant, he does not plan to sell too cheaply, the price is estimated to be around 12~150,000 yuan.

According to Dongtang's latest "2016-2020 New Energy Vehicle Subsidy Standard", pure electric vehicles with a range greater than or equal to 250 kilometers can receive a subsidy of 44,000 yuan.

In this way, Huang Haojie can set the surging - elegant price higher, so that consumers can buy it at 11~120,000 yuan.

Of course, the final price will be discussed again after the car is built.
