The first Thor electric vehicle just came off the production line.

It looks similar to the Little Turtle electric car on the market.

Except for the battery, other configurations are similar, including front and rear disc brakes, tubeless tires, etc.

The electric vehicles of various companies on the market are all very similar, and no one can avoid this.

Of course, Huang Haojie still has a little innovation, which is to install a data cable charging socket.

Huang Haojie looked at the silver-gray Thor LX1 electric car in front of him and ordered Guo Dele at the side:

"Take it to the testing ground and give it a try."

Guo Dele quickly pushed the electric car to the testing field outside with three workers.

After a while, the Thor LX1 electric vehicle was pushed onto a testing machine similar to a treadmill.

This machine is mainly used for testing speed, cruising range, and usage time.

Sizzle... The Thor LX1 electric car is running quickly on the machine.

Huang Junjie looked at the empty car being tested, feeling a bit self-deceiving and said quickly:

"stop!"

"Mr. Huang, what's wrong? There's nothing wrong with the car!" Guo Dele said quickly.

Huang Haojie looked at the confused people, pointed at the electric car and said:

"Do you think the data tested in this way is true?"

"Mr. Huang, other electric vehicle manufacturers also test in this way. Is there any problem?" Guo Dele asked confused.

He used to work in Xingdazhou, and was later recruited by the boss of Huagao. Now he follows the electric vehicle production line to the Leishen Electric Vehicle Factory as the director, so he knows that all electric vehicle factories do this.

Huang Haojie shook his head and said, "It was before, and it is now. I follow my rules. I put ten kilograms of sundries in the seat box, and then get up alone."

Guo Dele and others looked at each other. Obviously the data obtained through this test was true, but it would probably be terrible.

After all, the production of the battery factory is confidential. Except for the battery factory directors Zhou Hailin and Huang Haojie, no one knows the true situation of the Thor generation batteries. Even the workers in charge of production are ignorant.

After all, all the links are separated. In addition, the catalyst and some specific values ​​​​are given vague code names, such as Catalyst No. 1, Catalyst No. 2, voltage, etc. They just press the button like a fool.

The risk of leaking secrets has been minimized by Huang Junjie.

Therefore, people from electric car manufacturers like Guo Dele have no idea about the energy density of Thor's first-generation batteries.

But who calls Huang Haojie the boss? Anyway, the test data will not look good, and it will be the boss who gets slapped in the face.

He quickly arranged for workers to put ten kilograms of sundries into the seat box, and then asked a worker to get on the electric car.

Sizzle...

This time Huang Junjie looked more comfortable.

Due to the limitations of electric vehicle motors, the maximum speed of Thor electric vehicles is 50 kilometers per hour.

"Mr. Huang, it is estimated that the mileage of this test is only about thirty kilometers." Guo Dele reminded, lest the boss's face would be disgraced.

Of course Huang Haojie knows what Guo Dele means, mainly because there is a phenomenon of false marking in electric vehicles.

Domestic electric vehicles mainly use lead-acid batteries, such as Yadi, Tailing, Aima, Xingdazhou, Green Energy, etc., which all use lead-acid batteries. Their electric vehicle mileage is about 50 to 60 kilometers. But in reality it’s only about 30 to 40 kilometers.

Even the Daniu electric vehicle that uses 18650 lithium batteries claims to have a range of 100 kilometers, but in fact it is only about 70 to 80 kilometers.

After all, they were tested in an ideal environment. This data is of course high. The question is, can the consumer's usage environment be compared with the ideal environment? Obviously the two are different.

Therefore, people often report on the Internet that a certain electric vehicle has a marked mileage of 100 kilometers, but in fact it stops after driving 70 kilometers.

In fact, Guo Dele and others are also confused about their own batteries.

Because this battery is not like a lithium battery, let alone a lead-acid battery. It is as hard as an iron block and only weighs ten kilograms. Can it really support an electric vehicle to travel thirty kilometers? He couldn't help but raise a question mark.

As far as he knows, Daniu electric vehicle lithium batteries generally weigh about 12 kilograms and cost about 2,200 Chinese yuan.

The cost of his own Thor battery is about 270 Chinese yuan for ten kilograms. The cost difference has reached 8 times. It cannot be a parallel import, Guo Dele thought worriedly.

However, as time passed by, Guo Dele couldn't help but wiped his eyes and looked at his watch.

I quickly checked the test machine again and found that the test machine was not broken.

But more than an hour had passed, and he looked at the test machine's odometer, which was at 65 kilometers and was still increasing.

This battery is almost catching up with lithium batteries.

While Guo Dele and others were stunned, the odometer of the test machine kept refreshing.

70 kilometers…

75 kilometers…

80 kilometers…

85 kilometers…

The final odometer number stayed at 91.46 kilometers.

Guo Dele was numb. For the first time, he felt that the world suddenly became unreal.

"Mr. Huang Huang! We are rich!" Suddenly Guo Dele shouted excitedly.

After all, Huang Haojie had promised that if he did a good job, 10% of the factory's profits would be used as employee dividends in the future. Originally, Guo Dele had no expectations. After all, the profits of electric vehicle factories are really not high these days.

Like Yadi Electric Vehicle, the cost of producing an M2 electric vehicle is about 2,500 Chinese yuan, and the retail price is about 3,200 Chinese yuan. It seems that there is still 700 yuan in the middle. In fact, the retailer will occupy about 300 yuan, one car If you make less than 400 yuan, don't forget to pay taxes and R\u0026D expenses, plus the depreciation of the production line, there really isn't much money to make.

Take Yadi Company as an example. In 2015, their company sold about 3.3 million electric vehicles, with a total revenue of about 6.4 billion yuan. Do you know what their net profit is? 370 million yuan. That’s right, 370 million yuan. Hua Yuan.

This is equivalent to a net profit of about 110 Chinese yuan for each electric vehicle.

What is going on? Yadi is currently the leading company in domestic electric vehicles, with profits accounting for about 24% of the domestic electric vehicle industry. This means that the total profit of the domestic electric vehicle industry in 2015 was about 1.5 billion yuan.

Such profits are very low, that is, large electric vehicle manufacturers can make small profits but quick turnover, while other small and medium-sized electric vehicle manufacturers are either losing money or on the road to losing money, or they can only opportunistically cut corners and cut corners.

That's why Guo Dele felt that they were going to get rich.

After all, Daniu electric cars sell for 5,400 to 5,800 yuan each.

As for their Thor electric car, although it looks ordinary, it has a real range of 90 kilometers. I think it’s not too much to sell it for 4,000 yuan!

So how much does the Thor electric vehicle cost? 2,000 Chinese yuan. This is because their factory does not have large-scale production, resulting in a slightly inflated cost. Once the scale increases, he is sure to reduce the cost to between 1,800 and 1,900 Chinese yuan.

In other words, for every electric car produced by their factory, they can earn at least two thousand yuan, and the profit is 100%.

"Test the charging speed and other performance of the car again, and test a few more cars, not only on the test machine, but also in the field, and then combine the data." Huang Haojie was not careless and quickly ordered Guo Dele .

Guo Dele quickly put away his excitement. He knew that one car really could not represent them all, so he started to select three more Thor electric vehicles coming off the production line.

Huang Junjie accompanied Guo Dele and others for two days of intensive testing.

The Thor LX1 electric vehicle has a range of 85 to 90 kilometers and the charging time is about 80 minutes.

Battery life: The energy density is still 100% after charging for more than 1500 times. The energy density drops to about 80% after charging for 1500 to 2000 times. The energy density drops to about 50% after charging from 2000 to 2500 times. Huang Haojie stopped testing after that. .

After all, it is 100% within 1500 times, but what is the concept of charging 1500 times without loss? Even if consumers charge it once a day, it can be used for nearly five years, not to mention that few consumers charge it once a day, and most of them Recharge once every two or three days, which means the service life of Thor's first-generation battery is between 5 and 15 years.

Maybe the car will be scrapped by then, but the battery will still be intact.

Inside an office at Thor Electric Vehicle Factory.

Huang Haojie, Galaxy Technology General Manager Li Jianhua, Raytheon Battery Factory Director Zhou Hailin, and Raytheon Electric Vehicle Factory Director Guo Dele are gathering together.

"Ahem, let me get straight to the point. Can you tell me what the price of the Thor electric car is?" Huang Haojie asked.

Guo Dele spoke first: "Boss, I think 4,000 Chinese yuan is more suitable."

"Would 4,000 put consumers off?" Li Jianhua felt that such a price was too high.

"No, I think 5,000 is our real strength." Zhou Hailin produces Thor batteries, so of course he knows the quality of the batteries produced by his factory.

"It's not too high, let's do this! We will first position the Thor LX1 as a low-end product produced by our company, and the price will be 3,333 yuan. After all, we will definitely launch mid-to-high-end products in the future. If it costs four to five thousand yuan now, Does the high-end one cost tens of thousands?

In addition, we must now collect funds as soon as possible to avoid a break in the capital chain. Huang Haojie said.

Bang bang bang! The three people clapped quickly.

"Boss! We are going to unify the electric vehicle industry!" Guo Dele knew that this price and performance could directly make all electric vehicle products on the market uncompetitive.

Zhou Hailin and Li Jianhua also smiled at each other. They knew that as long as domestic battery companies did not make huge innovations, then the major electric vehicle companies would undoubtedly die. It was just a matter of time.

The cost of Daniu's electric vehicles is a fatal flaw, while the performance of electric vehicle manufacturers such as Yadi is insufficient. When the prices are not much different, consumers will know who to choose as long as they are not fools.
