At this time, Kangchi was also inspecting a newly built battery swap station in Dongyang, and the staff was carrying out the final commissioning work on the newly installed automatic battery swap system.

"At the end of the measurement, the battery replacement time totaled 54 seconds, which met the acceptance criteria."

Hearing the feedback from the staff, Kangchi also nodded with satisfaction.

When it comes to this automatic battery swap system, there is actually a rather twist and turn.

When it first learned that Datang Heavy Industries planned to build a large-scale battery swap station, NIO showed great interest and felt that they finally had like-minded comrades.

Therefore, NIO took the initiative to contact Datang Heavy Industries, hoping that the two sides could cooperate.

However, after several rounds of contact, Datang Heavy Industries did not agree to use NIO's battery swap standards on the battery swap station that was about to be laid.

The reason is that NIO's battery pack does not meet the standards of Datang Heavy Industries.

In the same way, the technology of the battery swap station is not up to standard.

This made Mr. Li feel disappointed and a little unhappy.

If Datang Heavy Industries does not cooperate with NIO and adopt NIO's standards, then the so many battery swap stations built by Datang Heavy Industries will be useless to NIO car owners and will not be able to improve NIO's user experience.

Moreover, the things in my own house are disliked, and I am definitely not happy to change anyone.

This made Mr. Li deeply aware that Kangchi made it clear that this time it was to subvert the new energy industry standard!

Even if NIO shares his philosophy, it is still not immune.

In fact, for the battery swap mode, Mr. Li is a little naïve.

In terms of business model, battery swapping is destined to be monopolized by one company.

The simplest reason, if a car's battery just meets the scrap standard when the battery is replaced,

Who should be responsible for scrapping this battery?

After the end of life, who will pay for a new battery?

Is Datang Heavy Industries responsible or NIO?

Or other companies that have joined the battery swap service?

Even if the ownership of all batteries belongs to Datang Heavy Industries, and Datang Heavy Industries is responsible for scrapping and replacing them, new problems will also arise.

For example, some battery swap stations can give priority to the old batteries to car owners to ensure that the batteries in their battery swap stations are new, and their power reserves can be higher than others, and they can make more profits by selling electricity at staggered peaks.

Once everyone follows the trend, the result is that the new batteries are in the battery swap station, and the old batteries are in the owner's car.

For example, some battery swap stations feel that it is too troublesome to scrap and replace the battery, so they simply continue to replace it with the owner and throw the pot to other battery swap stations, resulting in the old battery being kicked around and so on.

This is just what Kangchi can think of casually, and with the dirty minds of those capitalists, maybe they can come up with a more bizarre 'business model'.

In short, there are too many places that can be ripped off, and it can definitely be guarded against......

Originally, Kangchi also wanted to buy battery swap technology from NIO to save some time and energy.

But because the two sides did not talk very pleasantly, Kangchi did not speak in the end.

Moreover, although NIO's battery swap technology is also quite mature, it is far from meeting the requirements of Kangchi.

First of all, NIO's battery swap service requires the car owner to turn on automatic parking, so that the car can automatically and accurately reverse into the battery swap parking space.

The battery swap station of Datang Heavy Industry will serve a variety of models and owners in the future, and it is impossible to require each car to have an automatic parking function.

Not everyone is an old driver, and car owners who do not have automatic parking are likely to be unable to accurately park their cars in the battery swap position......

Secondly, the average time for each battery swap is about five minutes.

And Kangchi's goal is to compress this time to less than one minute.

In this way, while improving the efficiency of battery swapping for users, it can also greatly reduce the equipment and space of the battery swap station and save costs.

Therefore, even if you buy NIO's battery swap technology, you still need to make drastic changes to the design.

So Kangchi finally decided to spend more time and energy to design and manufacture a battery swap system from scratch, and then upgrade and analyze to obtain more advanced technology.

After completing the inspection of the battery swap station, Kangchi and Chen Hai returned to the car, and then received a call from Zhang Qing.

"Mr. Kang, Tesla is going to develop a conference."

"So fast? When? ”

"Three days later."

"Hmm...... Let's go ahead with the plan, November 2nd. ”

"Understood!"

As a result, after Marsk announced that it would hold a Tesla facelift model conference three days later, Datang Heavy Industries followed suit and announced that Datang Heavy Industries would hold a new car launch conference on November 2.

The time, just one day later than Tesla.

Because Datang Heavy Industries does not have many fans on major social platforms, this announcement did not attract much attention at first.

It wasn't until Kangchi himself's Weibo, as well as Daqin Optics, Dahan Silicon, Dahan Chip, CATL, Qirui Automobile and other companies that forwarded Datang Heavy Industries' announcement on major social platforms, which immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet.

", Mr. Kang really built a car?"

"In Jianghu, I have long heard the grapevine that Qi Rui is helping Datang Heavy Industry OEM a pure electric vehicle, but I didn't expect it to be true, and the speed is so fast."

"First the battery swap station, then the stake in CATL to build sodium batteries, and now it's the new car launch conference, all of which are strung together!"

"Sure enough, it's Master Kong's style, doing a full set of dramas, this is the rhythm of the whole industry chain?"

"Where is this, the battery is OEM of CATL, and the car is OEM of Qirui, which is far worse than BYD."

"Upstairs, do you know what OEM means? It means that the core technology is all Datang Heavy Industry, and Master Kong can make it himself at any time if he wants to, but it is not necessary. ”

"Damn, I'm so excited! I don't know what surprises Mr. Kang can bring us this time. ”

"A day later than Tesla? How do you feel the same as Warwick Xiaomi, Mr. Kang is targeting Tesla? ”

“……”

Anil, the head of Tesla's Dahua region, soon learned the news from the public relations department, so he immediately reported this 'suspected target from Kangchi' to Musk.

"Against us?" After hearing this, Musk just pursed his lips lightly, "Leave them alone, haven't you been so hot with us all these years?" ”

"But...... This Kangchi, the reputation in China is quite high, and after all, it is able to build EUV lithography machine, from the current Chinese market all kinds of signs show that his hand and ambition in the electric vehicle market is very big, I think it is likely to have a huge threat to us......"

"So what?" Musk immediately asked rhetorically, "Aren't we going to have a development conference?" ”

"Anil, he hasn't made a move yet, what are you panicking about?"

"No matter what cards he has in his hand, he has to wait until he plays them before he can think about how to deal with them."

"What's more, they are a company that has just set foot in the electric vehicle industry, and they have not even sold a car, but we are in a leading position in the global electric vehicle market.

"The reason why we opened the conference the day after is probably to find our weaknesses and then take advantage of the heat."

Anil actually understands this truth,

But I don't know why, after knowing about it, he has been feeling a little uneasy.

Perhaps, he did overreact a little?
