Chapter 8 Raytheon Electric Vehicle
The first Raytheon electric car that just came off the production line.
It looks similar to the small turtle electric car on the market.
In addition to the battery, the other configurations are similar, all of which are front and rear disc brakes, vacuum tires and the like.
The electric vehicles of all companies on the market are much the same, and no one can avoid this.
Of course, Huang Haojie still has a little bit of innovation, that is, the installation of a data cable charging socket.
Huang Haojie looked at the silver-gray Thor LX1 electric car in front of him, and instructed Guo Dele on the side:
"Pull it to the test site and give it a try."
Guo Dele hurriedly pushed the electric car with three workers to the test site outside.
Moments later, the Raytheon LX1 electric car was pushed onto a test machine that resembled a treadmill.
This machine is mainly used for testing, speed, cruising range, and use time.
Zizizi...... The Raytheon LX1 electric car is running fast on the machine.
Huang Haojie looked at the empty car being tested, which was a bit of a self-deception, and hurriedly said:
"Stop!"
"Mr. Huang, what's wrong, there's no problem with the car!" Guo Dele hurriedly said.
Huang Haojie looked at the puzzled crowd, pointed to the electric car and said:
"Do you think the data from this test is real?"
"Mr. Huang, other electric vehicle factories have also tested in this way, are there any problems?" Guo Dele asked confusedly.
He used to work in Xingdazhou, but was later poached by the boss of Huagao, and now he has followed the electric vehicle production line to the Leishen electric vehicle factory as the factory director, so he knows that various electric vehicle factories do this.
Huang Haojie shook his head and said: "It used to be before, and now it is now, according to my rules, put ten catties of sundries in the seat box, and then go up alone." ”
Guo Dele and others looked at each other, obviously the data tested in this way is true, but it is estimated that it will be miserable.
After all, the production of the battery factory is confidential, except for Zhou Hailin and Huang Haojie, the directors of the battery factory, no one knows the true situation of the Thor generation of batteries, even if it is the workers in charge of production, they are ignorant.
After all, all the links are separated, plus the catalyst and some specific values are all vaguely coded, such as catalyst No. 1, catalyst No. 2, like voltage and the like, they just fool to press the button.
The risk of leakage has been minimized by Huang Haojie.
Therefore, Guo Dele, the people of the electric vehicle factory, do not know the energy density of the Raytheon generation battery at all.
But who called Huang Haojie is the boss, anyway, the data tested at that time is not good-looking, and the one who slapped his face is also the boss.
He hurriedly arranged for a worker to load ten catties of sundries into the seat box, and then called a worker to go up and sit on the electric car.
Zizizi......
This time, Huang Haojie looked more comfortable.
Due to the limitation of electric motors, the maximum speed of Raytheon electric vehicles is 50 km / h.
"Mr. Huang, it is estimated that the mileage of this test is only about 30 kilometers." Guo Dele reminded that the boss's face would not be dull when he got it.
Of course, Huang Haojie knows what Guo Dele means, mainly because there is a false standard phenomenon in electric vehicles.
Domestic electric vehicles mainly use lead-acid batteries, such as Yadi, Tailing, Aima, Xingdazhou, green energy, etc., which are all using lead-acid batteries, their electric vehicle mileage is about 50~60 kilometers, but in fact only about 30~40 kilometers.
Even if it is a Daniu electric vehicle that uses 18650 lithium batteries, although it claims to have a mileage of 100 kilometers, it is actually about 70~80 kilometers.
After all, they test in an ideal environment, which is of course a high number, but the question is whether the consumer's use environment can be compared with the ideal environment. Obviously, the two are different.
Therefore, some people often break the news on the Internet that a certain electric car has a standard mileage of 100 kilometers, but in fact, it will stop after driving 70 kilometers.
In fact, Guo Dele and others are also puzzled about their own batteries.
Because this battery is not like a lithium battery, let alone a lead-acid battery, it is hard like an iron block, just ten kilograms a piece, can it really support an electric car to travel 30 kilometers? He couldn't help but put a question mark.
As far as he knows, the lithium battery of the Daniu electric vehicle generally weighs about 12 kilograms, and the cost is about 2,200 Chinese yuan.
The cost of his own Thor battery is about 270 yuan for ten kilograms, and the cost gap has reached 8 times, it won't be a parallel import, Guo Dele thought worriedly.
However, as time passed, Guo Dele couldn't help wiping his eyes and looked at his watch again.
Hurriedly checked the test machine again, and the test machine was not broken.
But more than an hour had passed, and he saw that the odometer of the test machine was at 65 kilometers, and it was still increasing.
This battery is almost catching up with lithium batteries.
Under the stunned eyes of Guo Dele and others, the odometer of the test machine was constantly refreshed.
70 km ......
75 km ......
80 km ......
85 km ......
The final odometer figure stays at 91.46 km.
Guo Dele was already numb, and for the first time he felt that the world had suddenly become unreal.
"Mr. Huang Huang! We're rich! Suddenly, Guo Dele shouted excitedly.
After all, Huang Haojie can promise that if he does a good job, 10% of the factory's income will be used as employee dividends in the future.
Like Yadi electric car, the cost of producing an M2 electric car is about 2500 Chinese yuan, the retail price is about 3200 Chinese yuan, it seems that there are 700 yuan in the middle, in fact, the retailer will occupy about 300 yuan, and a car will earn less than 400 yuan, don't forget to pay taxes and research and development and other expenses, plus the depreciation of the production line, there is really not much money to make.
Taking Yadi as an example, in 2015, their company sold about 3.3 million electric vehicles, with a total revenue of about 6.4 billion Chinese dollars, and everyone knows what their net profit is? 370 million Chinese dollars, yes, it is 370 million Chinese dollars.
It is equivalent to the net profit of each electric vehicle is about 110 Chinese yuan.
What's going on? Yadi is currently the first brother of domestic electric vehicles, and its profits account for about 24% of the domestic electric vehicle industry, which means that the total profit of the domestic electric vehicle industry in 2015 is about 1.5 billion yuan.
Such profits are very low, that is, large electric vehicle factories can make small profits but quick turnover, and other small and medium-sized electric vehicle factories are either in the loss or on the way to the loss, otherwise they can only cut corners opportunistically.
That's why Guo Dele felt that they were going to get rich.
After all, the big bull electric car sells for 5400~5800 yuan.
And their Thor electric car, although the appearance is average, but it has a real 90 kilometers of range, I sell 4000 Chinese yuan is not too much!
So what is the cost of Raytheon electric car?2000 Huayuan, this is still their factory does not have large-scale production, resulting in a slightly inflated cost, once the scale goes up, he is sure to press the cost to 1800~1900 Huayuan.
That is to say, for every electric car produced by their factory, they can earn at least 2,000 yuan, and the profit is 100%.
"Then test the charging speed, as well as the other performance of the car, and take a few more tests, not only on the test machine, but also on the field, and then synthesize the data." Huang Haojie was not careless, and hurriedly ordered Guo Dele.
Guo Dele hurriedly put away his excitement, he knew that one really could not represent everything, and began to select three more from the Thor electric car that came down the production line.
Huang Haojie accompanied Guo Dele and others for two days of intensive testing.
Raytheon LX1 electric vehicle has a range of 85~90 kilometers and a charging time of about 80 minutes.
Battery life: The energy density that can be charged more than 1500 times is still 100%, the energy density of 1500~2000 times of charging drops to about 80%, and the energy density of 2000~2500 times of charging drops to about 50%, and then Huang Haojie did not let the test.
After all, it is 100% within 1500 times, what is the concept of non-lossless charging 1500 times, even if it is charged once a day, it can be used for nearly five years, not to mention that few consumers charge once a day, most of them are charged once in two or three days, that is to say, the service life of the Thor generation battery is between 5~15 years.
Maybe by then, the car will be scrapped, and the battery will still be intact.
Inside an office at Raytheon's electric car factory.
Huang Haojie, Li Jianhua, general manager of Galaxy Technology, Zhou Hailin, director of Leishen Battery Factory, and Guo Dele, director of Leishen Electric Vehicle Factory, gathered together.
"Ahem, I'll get straight to the point, let's talk about the price of Raytheon's electric car?" Huang Haojie asked.
Guo Dele spoke first and said, "Boss, I think it's more suitable to sell it for 4,000 yuan." ”
"Will 4000 discourage consumers!" Li Jianhua felt that such a price was too high.
"No, I think 5000 is our real strength." Zhou Hailin is a producer of Raytheon batteries, and of course he knows the quality of the batteries produced in his factory.
"It's too high, so be it! We first positioned the Raytheon LX1 as a low-end product produced by our company, and the price was set at 3333 Chinese dollars. After all, we will definitely launch mid-to-high-end products in the future, if it is four or five thousand yuan now, will the high-end sell tens of thousands?
In addition, now we need to collect funds as soon as possible to avoid the breakage of the capital chain. Huang Haojie said.
Bang Bang Bang! The three of them hurriedly applauded.
"Boss! We want to unify the electric vehicle industry! Guo Dele knows that this price and performance can directly make all the electric vehicle products on the market uncompetitive.
Zhou Hailin and Li Jianhua also looked at each other and smiled, they knew that as long as the domestic battery companies did not have a huge innovation, then the major electric vehicle companies would definitely die, it was only a matter of time.
The cost of Da Niu electric vehicle is a fatal flaw, Yadi and other electric vehicle factories are insufficient in performance, and the price is not much different, as long as consumers are not fools, they know who to choose.
