Chapter 228: A Test from Nature

Xinghan Automobile, or the highest sales of new energy vehicles, is naturally located in Dongshan Province, where Haicheng is located, radiating from Haicheng, there is the most complete charging pile system, and the overall distribution is very uniform.

Sales of new energy vehicles in Beijing, Jincheng and nearby cities are also very high, and Dong Son and Bac Ha provinces have been the first to start building new service areas on expressways to provide places for charging new energy vehicles.

The sales of new energy vehicles in the two provinces alone account for about 50% of the national sales, and this proportion is still maintained after switching to Xinghan Zhixing and Polestar.

No way...

Who makes the only new energy vehicle brands in the current serious way are Xinghan Zhixing and Polestar Auto? Other traditional car brands have launched or are preparing to launch new energy vehicles, and they are still in the testing stage.

In addition to BYD, Great Wall, Changan, Geely, Chery and other brands still follow the old routine and set up a sub-brand specializing in new energy vehicles.

For example, Chen Zifan's memory of the Great Wall's Ora, Geely's extreme krypton, geometry, Chang'an's dark blue, and so on~

There is nothing wrong with the routine, it's just that it's inefficient.

They don't dare to try a big car like Xinghan 02 (medium and large SUV) in a short time, so they still focus on mini cars, Xinghan mini can be said to be the most successful example, who does not imitate it?

And it's really easy to build!

For these domestic car companies, there is no need to invest any energy, the appearance design is good, the production line is complete, and a little publicity... The consumers themselves came.

The market demand for mini-cars is too large, and the sales of traditional mini-fuel cars are already very strong, and the sales of electric cars that are more perfect in all aspects will only be better, except for the limitation of long-distance running.

Chen Zifan still hopes that these domestic car companies will be more powerful, at least the imitation products will be made first, because whether it is a battery or a charging pile, etc., Stardust Technology will be used to some extent.

At present, Xinghan Zhixing is still the unshakable king in the field of new energy vehicles, and this is the case now and in the future, when the new energy vehicles of other car companies are still in the embryonic stage, Xinghan Zhixing's technology is already very mature, and the product line has been initially opened.

There is also a "sub-brand" Polestar car that lowers the entry barrier, how can other car companies win?

Although half of the sales of new energy vehicles are concentrated in Dongshan Province, Beihe Province, but this does not mean that the sales data of other provinces are poor, December 15, 2008 ~ December 15, 2009 This whole year, the total sales of new energy vehicles market has even exceeded 800,000 units, this increase is really exaggerated.

You must know that from the emergence of new energy vehicles to the present, it will take less than a year to complete the full count! Among the 800,000 units, Xinghan Zhixingli's automobile brands (including investment car brands) contributed 88.7%.

It has already reached 710,000 units.

Among them, the sales king is still Xinghan mini, its entry threshold is really low, 59,800 yuan also with fast charging, cost-effective, and its modification... The upgrade potential is also unique in the market at present.

The playability is simply too high, on the streets of Haicheng, it is really rare to see two identical vegan car Xinghan mini, everyone has their own ideas.

And it really doesn't pick a class, ordinary people can use it as the first family car, a family with a little capital can be used as a daily scooter, and the group with free wealth can use it as a fun car to play flowers.

Among the 710,000 cars, the sales of Xinghan mini reached as many as 450,000 units, followed by the Polestar X, which is known as the "civilian killer", that is, Haicheng's special taxi, and the two contributed a very high proportion of sales.

Then it will be the turn of Xinghan 001, and the sales of other models have not been high so far, because the release time is too short, and many people are still holding on to the currency and will not choose to buy it easily.

Wait until December 15 next year, as soon as the growth rate of the new energy vehicle market comes out, more car companies will soon join in, as long as the market is big enough, and there are high profits to draw, who is not willing to come?

And even if public charging piles are not popular in many provinces, there is a relatively perfect solution, that is, buy new energy vehicles and send private charging piles.

That's what Xinghan Zhixing and Polestar Auto do, and with the addition of online shopping platforms, buying a car has become an increasingly simple thing.

However, the shortcomings of this method are also very obvious, it is too unfriendly to the working people who are in the field or renting a house, and it stands to reason that they are the main force to buy new energy vehicles, but in fact they are blocked.

Chen Zifan has no good way to deal with this situation, the ZC conditions are different in various places, and the popularization of charging piles and charging stations in first-tier cities such as Haicheng, Beijing, Jincheng, and Shacheng is in full swing.

On the surface, in response to the call of new energy, in fact, they are secretly making stumbling blocks everywhere, making it difficult to promote the popularization of charging piles and charging stations, which is also expected.

The emergence of new energy vehicles has moved too many people's cakes, if it weren't for the hard enough backstage of Xinghan Zhixing, other manufacturers would not know how cold they were.

Including the official side, it has been suggesting that Xinghan Zhixing should not be so radical, and can take a compromise approach, such as cracking the hybrid technology that sounds good on the side of Xiaori, otherwise the pressure will be too great.

It's just that Chen Zifan is unwilling to do this.

Xinghan Zhixing has repeatedly confirmed from the beginning of its establishment that they will only be pure new energy vehicles, including but not limited to electric energy, and the next step is to apply light energy to new energy vehicles, and now let them make a semi-fuel and semi-new energy vehicle with an internal combustion engine...

How is this possible?

However, Chen Zifan is not the kind of person who does not know how to be flexible, the car with a compromise plan can be done, but it can't be done by Xinghan Zhixing, Xinghan Zhixing can contribute technology, or invest in other car companies, or set up a sub-brand, but he won't do it himself.

So the official side is quite helpless.

It is too troublesome to set up a sub-brand, so it is better to let Xinghan Zhixing select a few domestic car companies that also have an official background to further transform the automobile industry.

800,000 new energy vehicles is still too little for the entire automobile industry, because Huaxia's total car sales in 2009 reached 13.5 million units, and new energy vehicles accounted for only 6%.

Chen Zifan is not in a hurry, 2010 is the main battlefield of new energy vehicles, even Stardust Technology electronic products, and there is no need to care about the overall economic situation in the world, the impact of Stardust Technology is very small, and there is no need to worry too much.

Xinghan 002 and Xinghan 004 will soon start to exert force, and Xinghan MOTO has many models such as Xinghan 009, Xinghan 09 and Explorer 3, not to mention Polestar.

A lower price point leads to higher sales.

The upgrades of various models are also on the way to preparation, compared with the future layout, Chen Zifan is more worried about how the new energy vehicles will be this winter.

This is a test from nature.

Even if it is a lithium sodium battery with a temperature control system, Chen Zifan does not dare to guarantee that the mileage of Xinghan Automobile in winter will not be discounted, and it can only be said that compared with lithium iron phosphate batteries, the discount of lithium sodium batteries is much less.

But the temperature control system is not available in every model, the basic version and fast charging version of Xinghan mini are not, if you want to add a temperature control system, you have to pay a little money, and it is not expensive, 4999 can be transformed.

Ahem... It's still a little expensive.

Therefore, the most ruthless discount Xinghan mini, the endurance of more than 200 kilometers can be directly reduced by 50 kilometers, and many car owners are complaining about the load, but what they don't know is that this discount level is really very good.

The endurance achievement rate in the deep winter can still be 75%, which is simply a king-like existence in a group of domestic new energy vehicles in 10 years, and it is not easy for Tesla to come, because Tesla's endurance achievement rate is also low.

If you add the temperature control system of Xinghan Zhixing, the battery life achievement rate of Xinghan mini can be increased by another 10%~15%, and this battery life discount will not affect it at all.

Fuel vehicles may also have the problem of oil emulsification and increased fuel consumption in winter. Moreover, once there is a problem with a fuel vehicle, it is much more troublesome to solve than an electric car, and it costs money and energy.

On the other hand, the owner of Xinghan 001 and Xinghan 004 is called happy, and the car is handsome, not to mention, although some people maliciously installed the title of "Ghost Fire Boy Driver", but in reality, how many do you not feel handsome?

Handsome is a ghost fire?

The appearance of a purely original design of a domestic car can be so high, and it was something that many people couldn't even think about three years ago, but now it is finally ridiculed again, what does this mean? Can't see others well?

In addition to the car is handsome enough, driving out enough to pull the wind, and the return rate is high, there is no problem with the power and battery life of the car, after all, they come with a temperature control system at the factory, and a 10% less battery life is not a problem at all~

The most important thing is that electricity is cheap!

When other cars are still worried about whether to add fuel or not, some Xinghan car owners with private charging piles only need 4 cents for one kilowatt-hour of electricity, and it only costs about 40 yuan to fill a Xinghan 001, and 40 yuan can run 400+ kilometers casually, which is what fuel vehicles can envy?

So I have to say that Xinghan Zhixing's car is really power-saving, with a power consumption of only more than 10kWh per 100 kilometers, compared with some 25kWh cars per 100 kilometers in Chen Zifan's memory, it is not a star and a half that are simply power-saving.

Ignoring the problem of battery life discount, Chen Zifan's next work is also very simple, according to the year-end report given by Zhao Wuxian to make a more detailed follow-up plan, it is best to make the plan of each province accurate.

After the planning is completed, there will be a special team at the Stardust Technology headquarters to optimize this plan to ensure that it is foolproof and at the same time combined with the actual situation...

Otherwise, the planning may be too idealistic.

Regarding the product, Xinghan Zhixing's next product line only needs to do a good job of several mid-to-high-end models at the auto show step by step, and Xinghan MOTO... Chen Zifan has high hopes, and the few new electric motorcycles he prepared can be said to be monster-level.

Just as the highway between Haicheng → Shacheng is about to be opened, the whole journey of nearly 300 kilometers is definitely an excellent opportunity to completely distinguish electric motorcycles from traditional fuel motorcycles and do new marketing.

The new electric motorcycles in the future include but are not limited to imitation racing, cruise, retro, futuristic, cyberpunk style, and the motor power and battery are also first-class.

The maximum power of the motor is even comparable to the 800cc displacement engine in the fuel motorcycle, but it is certainly not comparable to the four-cylinder engine known for its high revs, one of the disadvantages of the motor is the weak acceleration in the rear section, and the acceleration in the rear section of the four-cylinder engine is really powerful.

Even the rear acceleration and tail speed motor of the three-cylinder engine are not comparable, so the best motor in Chen Zifan's hand is only equivalent to a two-cylinder engine with a displacement of 800cc, but it is much stronger than a two-cylinder engine.

The first is the low torque.

The motor starts with a very high torque, almost equal to the maximum torque, which is much stronger than some engines that are known for their low revs, and then there is the smoothness, how can an internal combustion engine be smoother than an electric motor?

This kind of high-power motor is similar to Xinghan 009, Xinghan 09 like the cruising car is good, if you do imitation racing... Chen Zifan is really worried that under the premise of not having a TCS traction control system, a slight tightening of the electric valve will directly break through the structural limit of the car itself.

The result is a head warp and a crash.

In addition to conventional models, futuristic models are also the focus of Chen Zifan's investment, and how to have a sense of futurism while not being easily outdated? This is the difficulty that the designer department of Xinghan MOTO needs to consider.

It can be said that the new models other than the regular models are all about design, not their own mechanical quality.

Why is it said that after the Hai-→ Sha Expressway is repaired, it can distinguish electric motorcycles from traditional fuel motorcycles?

Just imagine, when the electric motorcycle that meets the regulations enters the highway unimpeded with a green license plate and ETC, the fuel motorcycle is still in a state of prohibition and restriction, isn't it differentiated? When this is the case all over the country, how many ways can fuel motorcycles survive?

In fact, as far as Chen Zifan himself is concerned, he is unwilling to do this, who is provoked by fuel motorcycles?

It is both forbidden and restricted.

Even film and television works are negative images.

What does the law say about how motorcycles can be legally driven at high speeds? Ironically, in the future, there are still many people who firmly believe that a country that bans and restricts motorcycles and scraps ZC for 13 years will build the world's first motorcycle, doesn't it seem funny?

The advent of electric motorcycles is to reinvent the rules!

The things that were lost by the fuel motorcycle must be taken back untouched by Chen Zifan.

Li Yuan, the current head of Xinghan Zhixing, coincides with Chen Zifan on this point, or Li Yuan is much more radical than Chen Zifan, as can be seen from his aggressive remarks on social media.

His ambitions are much more than they seem.

After Chen Zifan finished handling all the work on Xinghan Zhixing, five days had passed.

Chen Zifan finally has time to prepare a series of products ready to be unveiled at next year's Stardust Conference, such as Stardust 4, Stardust 4+, Stardust-Yaolu and the original Stardust AR glasses.

It's just the right time to get to the Spring Festival.
