Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

The issues of battery life and charging can be said to be the most difficult issues in the history of pure electric vehicles, and this is also the case with future 05 cars.

The battery life of 180 kilometers is fine for running around in the city, but it is completely insufficient for long trips.

For many people, although the battery life may not be used for a long time, if it is used, the battery life will not be sustained at all.

Buying a car is still very important for a family, and this flaw is very important.

Moreover, the 180 kilometers of cruising range refers to normal weather and road conditions. In extreme weather, the cruising range will be even shorter.

"Battery life is definitely a problem. In this case, there are only two ways. One is to seek technological breakthroughs, that is, breakthroughs in lithium batteries. If there can be a breakthrough in lithium battery technology, there will definitely be no problem.

This battery life can be increased, but this thing definitely won’t happen overnight..."

"The other is to add hybrid methods and use power lines as a range extension method..."

Wang Fu proposed a solution to the problem of short battery life. In fact, this is not a novel solution, because basically all pure electric vehicles use this solution when they face battery life problems.

Either conquer the technology, or do hybridization.

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head: "Don't mention the hybrid thing. We are not in a hurry, and we are not in a hurry to make money. So, let's set a time limit first, two and a half years, and our new car will be ready in 2008 at the latest, which is the Olympic Games. It was officially offline that year.

It will be called Future 08 at that time. We will use these two and a half years to further conquer technology. I will give you a standard.

In two years, the mileage will be increased by 120 kilometers a year, and in two and a half years, the mileage will be increased by 300 kilometers.

I hope that by 2008, our first car will roll off the assembly line in 2008, and it will have at least 480 kilometers of driving range. "

Hearing this, Wang Fu had a wry smile on his face: "Director Jiang, I can't guarantee this. The 480-kilometer battery life requires more than a tiny bit of technological breakthrough."

"In two and a half years, we have to give people what we need, give money to what we need, and the cruising range must be exceeded. We will not consider the hybrid range extension, because first of all, it is about the maintenance of the motor and the maintenance of the generator set. The cost is relatively high. In addition, the battery capacity of hybrid vehicles is smaller and the cruising range in electric mode is shorter. If we choose hybrid, it will be even more impossible to make breakthroughs in battery in the future..."

Jiang Xiaobai said, and Wang Fu nodded helplessly. He knew that what Jiang Xiaobai said was indeed correct. If a hybrid was used, it would definitely be more difficult to break through the battery.

Because adopting a hybrid means that they don't have the courage to burn the boat, and sticking to the path of pure electric vehicles means that they can go on without hesitation.

But the pressure fell on him in the end. If he couldn't do it by then, he would bear the greatest responsibility.

"What Director Jiang said makes sense. If you extend the range of a hybrid vehicle, don't end up with a different model, like a toddler in Handan..." Uncle Li also said.

Factory Director Lu also nodded, supporting Jiang Xiaobai's idea. The three of them have the ability to create cars themselves. It would be meaningless to build a car that looks different. They might as well just make a fuel car.

It’s not like there is no market for fuel vehicles.

There is no need to engage in this kind of hybrid range extension, it is completely meaningless.

Jiang Xiaobai, Deputy Uncle Li and Director Lu all had this attitude. The remaining Wang Zhongtian and Wang Fu had no use having any opinions.

Although the two of them are anxious to make some money, even if it is a hybrid, as long as they can make money, it does not necessarily have to be done in one step.

However, Jiang Xiaobai was resolute and there was nothing they could do. It would be great if Jiang Xiaobai was willing to take them to play together.

"After the issue of battery life is over, there is the issue of charging. Now our cars normally use a 220V magnetic induction system to charge. It takes about three to five hours to fully charge, which is a little long.

But our magnetic induction system charging has its own advantages. This wireless charging technology means there is no direct connection, and charging the car when it rains does not bring any risks. "

Wang Fu said proudly that he led his team to research this charging system day and night. Not to mention it is the most advanced system now, but to a certain extent, this charging system is at least the most advanced system in the country. .

"Of course GM also provides a 110V portable charger that can be used with any standard electrical outlet, but this charge is extremely slow and takes about 12-15 hours to fully charge."

Jiang Xiaobai frowned immediately when he heard this.

"How much does that wireless charging system cost?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.

"The cost is a bit expensive." Wang Fu said sheepishly. In fact, many technologies are not unusable. The key issue is the cost.

If you want to use a technology for commercial use, the most critical issue is that the technology must not only be produced in the laboratory, but also be produced in the factory.

It's not enough that it can be made in a factory, but the cost needs to be reduced.

If the cost is too high, the technology will be useless.

"12 to 15 hours is a bit long. Normally, in a city, when people go back from get off work and go to work the next morning, the time in between should be reduced to at least six to eight hours. .

Or even in a shorter time..." Jiang Xiaobai said.

"Okay, Director Jiang." Wang Fu didn't even argue this time and agreed directly. Of course he knew that the charging time was too long.

"Dr. Jiang, will wireless charging technology continue to be developed?" Wang Fu asked.

Although the cost of wireless charging technology is too expensive, it is safe and fast, which is the most important point.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "Continue development and strive to further reduce this cost.

In addition, if our cars are mass-produced, there is another very important issue, that is, the safety of outdoor charging, which must also be fully considered.

There is also a need to connect with the technology department. In the future, there will be as many charging piles as there are gas stations, or at least more than half. And this infrastructure needs promotion and cooperation from above, and we definitely can’t rely on us alone. "
