Chapter 216 True Industrial Miracle (Three in One)

Kangchi continued to press the button, and the screen switched to a picture of a battery pack and the explanation text:

【Sodium ion battery】

"Yes, in fact, everyone must have guessed from the cooperation news previously announced by us and CATL that our Guizhen will be equipped with a sodium-ion battery."

"Some people must be curious, why are sodium-ion batteries? Aren't the performance of nano-ion batteries worse than lithium-ion batteries? Is this another step in the reverse direction of technology?"

"I personally think this issue needs to be viewed from a dialectical perspective."

"Whether a technology is high-tech or low-tech, we cannot just look at its performance, but also have to weigh multiple factors. Especially for civilian products, cost-effectiveness is a very important measurement indicator."

"I believe that on the premise of meeting demand, we should try to lower the user's consumption threshold and allow more people to enjoy technology, which is high technology!"

"Sodium-ion batteries have such a cost advantage, not to mention that in addition to cost, its performance is not bad at all!"

[Energy Density: 300Wh/kg]

Looking at the data published on the screen, everyone was stunned!

"300Wh/kg!?"

"Holy shit, 300Wh/kg sodium-ion battery?"

"Is it higher in energy density than LG and Songxia's lithium-ion batteries?"

"Master Kang is so awesome this time!"

"Awesome, I, Mr. Kang, never lie! This is real high technology!"

"Haha, let me tell you, the technology that can make CATL bow to its knees in a flash, how can it be a compromise to make up for the lack of technology through a business model!"

"Musk: Mr. Kang, ah, slap your face lightly, ah, ah~"

"Mr. Kang: Okay, let me show my cards, huh? Why are the card tables gone?"

"..."

After a brief period of sluggishness, netizens immediately began sending various barrages to express their ecstasy about the emergence of this sodium battery technology.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room suddenly became cheerful and lively, like the Chinese New Year.

The number of people watching the live broadcast initially numbered 30 million, but later dropped to 5 million because of Gui Zhen's "ordinary" appearance. However, after the announcement of this sodium battery, the number of people watching the live broadcast suddenly reached 40 million!

However, completely different from the excited netizens,

All new energy vehicle and battery manufacturers who followed this live broadcast were immediately chilled from head to toe after seeing this battery data.

As industry insiders, they know better than any audience that the emergence of this technology will completely subvert the current new energy vehicle and battery manufacturing landscape.

New energy vehicles will definitely enter a new era because of the emergence of this technology.

In the wave of the new era, some people will definitely be swallowed up by the tide, while others will be able to ride the wind and waves and create brilliance!

"300Wh/kg..."

Anil, who had just released Guizhen for Datang Heavy Industries and was relieved that there was no competition with them, immediately realized the seriousness of the problem after seeing this number.

In the face of this technology, Tesla and LG just signed a three-year order, which immediately became the biggest joke and burden!

However, energy density is only one of the most important indicators of a battery. If safety and other aspects are not guaranteed, it will be useless no matter how high the energy density is.

And if there is really no problem with this battery, then they may have to consider how to terminate the contract they just signed with LG at the minimum cost and continue to purchase sodium batteries from CATL...

However, this is actually just Anil's wishful thinking.

Sometimes you want to buy, but they may not sell you yet...

"...The main reason why this sodium battery can achieve 300Wh/kg is that it is actually an all-solid-state battery!"

After giving the audience a short time to digest the content, Kang Chi continued to explain,

"Everyone must also know that compared with traditional liquid batteries, all-solid-state batteries not only have higher energy density, but also have far greater safety, cold and heat resistance, and longer service life than liquid batteries."

Next, Kangchi used a video to show everyone the safety tests of this sodium-ion battery such as puncture, extrusion, and fire roasting. The performance was naturally impeccable.

"In terms of cold and heat resistance, thanks to the addition of specially developed pentamethylacetamide material to the polymer electrolyte of our battery, the ion transmission efficiency of nano-ions at low temperatures is greatly improved."

“In laboratory tests, the nano-ion migration number of this polymer electrolyte at 30 degrees was as high as 0.85!”

"Stronger resistance to cold and heat will greatly alleviate the problem of battery range loss in electric vehicles in harsh winter environments."

"This is the measured data that our engineers specially went to the Daxinganling area five days ago. You can see that the battery attenuation of this battery is only 7% at minus 15 degrees. At zero degrees, the battery The attenuation is almost zero.”

"Therefore, pure electric vehicles will no longer be exclusive to the south in the future. They also have a place in the cold north!"

After listening to Kang Chi's analysis, the northern veterans in the live broadcast room immediately had intracranial orgasms!

"The big wretch in the north who bought an electric car last year expressed his displeasure. The target range was 400 kilometers, but in winter it was actually not even 160 kilometers. It was so cold that I couldn't bear to turn on the air conditioner. The key is, who would dare to believe it if I tell you? Family members... …”

"Good guy, I just came here to join in the fun, but I didn't expect that I fell into the fish pond dug by Master Kang!"

"Mr. Kang, stop talking. Hurry up and publish the price and post the link. We can't afford the photolithography machine, and we can't play with the camera, but all of us northern veterans are experienced drivers. Isn't it easy to drive a car?"

"..."

In addition to being more resistant to cold and heat, this solid-state sodium-ion battery has a theoretical cycle life of up to 5,000 times because the production of nanodendrites is limited by the solid electrolyte, which is fully double the cycle life of liquid lithium iron phosphate. many!

Seeing this, almost all lithium battery manufacturers fell into despair.

China's lithium battery companies are okay. After all, there is an example of early landing in the Ningde era. With Kangchi's past style, he should not mind giving them a ride.

But it was only then that lithium battery manufacturers in island countries and stick countries such as LG and Songxia truly felt what it means to be completely desperate.

Because Datang Heavy Industries was on the selection list!

Without their biological father's consent, even if Kangchi licensed the technology to them, they would not dare to use it.

What's more, judging from Kang Chi's previous actions against Soni, Shin-Etsu Chemical, Samsung and other companies, he is full of hostility towards companies from island countries and Bangzi countries.

Therefore, it is equally difficult to obtain technical authorization from him...

this,

Maybe it feels like your neck is being stuck?

Datang Heavy Industries employees at the live broadcast site couldn't help clenching their fists in excitement when they looked at Kang Chi during the live broadcast.

When Datang Heavy Industries officially opened for business, Kang Chi threatened at the conference that he would take them to choke other people's necks.

I didn’t expect that this day would come true so quickly!

"In fact, with this sodium battery, we can easily increase the cruising range to one thousand or even two thousand kilometers."

Kang Chi in front of the camera continued,

"But that's not what we intend to do."

"Although improving battery life can indeed alleviate battery life anxiety to a great extent, everyone needs to buy a larger battery pack and pay higher usage costs."

"Furthermore, problems such as waiting in queues for charging, excessive charging speeds that damage the battery, and counting the time when electricity prices are at a low point will still be a problem for everyone using electric vehicles."

“In order to solve this problem, while minimizing the waste of electricity resources in our country, and achieving the purpose of peak shifting, valley filling, green and low carbon, our Datang Heavy Industry plans to invest at least 600 billion to fully promote the construction of battery swap stations across the country. Project, these battery swap stations can not only swap batteries for our electric vehicles, but also function as energy storage stations.”

"By the end of next month, all the 30,000 power swap stations we initially planned will be opened one after another. Next year, we will continue to invest in the construction of 50,000 power swap stations, basically achieving the same density of outlets as now. Just like the gas station!”

Although most people had actually heard that Datang Heavy Industries was building a power swap station before, they were still a little shocked when they actually heard it from Kang Chi.

In particular, he announced the specific number and investment scale of battery swap stations.

"Damn it, at least an investment of 600 billion?!"

"Master Kang's handwriting scares the baby to death!"

"Ah, I really want to know how much Master Kang is worth now? Can anyone analyze it?"

"Mr. Kang's company is not listed yet, so I can't analyze it, but it has a lot of assets and a lot of liabilities. I guess he doesn't even know what his real net worth is... Funny Face.jpg"

"Haha, anyway, I know that Dahan Silicon still has at least tens of billions of loans that have not been repaid."

"Ah, I can't feel the happiness of a billionaire, so just let me feel the happiness of a billionaire."

"Boss Xu has told us with practical actions that billionaires are actually happier."

"If the density of battery swapping stations can really be the same as that of gas stations, then the anxiety about battery life will indeed disappear. But what should I do if I am afraid that I will suffer from Mr. Kang's bankruptcy anxiety again?"

"Then it depends on whether you are willing to be cut off by Mr. Kang."

"Mr. Kang's bankruptcy anxiety? Haha, you made me laugh so hard. Man, you are definitely a true fan."

"..."

The topic was soon brought to the most sensitive issue of price.

On the one hand, everyone is afraid of being cut off.

But on the other hand, I am afraid that Mr. Kang will be too kind to everyone, which will eventually lead to bankruptcy...

It's very contradictory.

However, in fact, all Kangchi's projects so far are actually making money, but the speed of making money cannot keep up with the speed of investment...

He enjoys the benefits of ultra-low R\u0026D costs, and distributes this benefit to all consumers.

As for whether doing so will impact other companies and institutions because of its slightly 'dumping' nature, Kangchi has actually thought about it before.

First of all, most of what he grabbed before was the cake of foreign capital. Although there are people in China developing silicon wafers and photolithography machines, they are basically supported by subsidies. After Kangchi got it done, it actually saved the country money. .

Moreover, once the EUV lithography machine is completed, the above can also invest energy and funds into more advanced and cutting-edge research fields such as quantum chips.

As for nano batteries.

He has tested the limits of this thing. If others continue to study it, it will be a waste of time and energy. It is better to drive them to other research fields.

For example, the scientific research team of CATL is currently engaged in mass production experiments of high-end solid-state lithium batteries.

In the future, they can also study lithium-sulfur batteries, even nuclear energy batteries, and so on.

There are too many technology trees that need to be lit. It is impossible for Kang Chi to light up all the technology trees by himself.

There are always areas that he cannot take care of and need to be studied.

So from a macro level, there is actually no problem of competing for the jobs of scientific researchers.

Even scientific researchers and companies themselves are the targets of Kangchi’s dividends.

Because they are also ordinary consumers, if they buy a car in the future, or even take the bus, take an online ride-hailing service, etc., they will also be able to enjoy the dividends brought by sodium batteries.

"In order to cooperate with the battery swap mode, after joint research and discussions with the R\u0026D team of CATL, Datang Heavy Industries finally formulated five specifications of battery packs and common interface types."

【80KWh, 120KWh, 200KWh, 400KWh, 800KWh】

Kang Chi pointed to the picture of the battery pack on the screen and continued to explain:

"Our battery swap station will support the above five battery packs in the future, among which battery packs of 200KWh and above will mainly serve medium and large electric passengers and trucks."

"Later, we will update the specific battery pack parameters and interface data to the official website of Datang Heavy Industries for the convenience of major domestic car companies to download and review. We also welcome major car companies to cooperate with us, Datang Heavy Industries, to introduce to the market Launch more and richer sodium battery-swapping models."

After hearing this, everyone finally realized it.

It turns out that in the battery aspect, Kangchi releases products not only to ordinary consumers, but also to other car companies!

even,

Even the medium and large electric passenger trucks that may appear in the future have been considered.

However, through the scale of investment in battery swapping stations, we know how big Kangchi’s ambitions are.

It is actually a bit unreasonable to build so many battery swapping stations without covering all types of cars.

It can also be seen from the active disclosure of battery pack parameters and interface data that Kangchi has an open door attitude and warmly welcomes everyone to cooperate to create a new era of electric vehicles. It does not think about using battery swap stations and sodium The advantage of the battery means that it will drive away all other car companies.

It's quite pleasing.

Except for a few car companies like BYD that have their own battery factories, most other new energy car companies that need to purchase battery packs are relieved at this moment.

What they fear most is that Kangchi turns this sodium battery into his own exclusive secret recipe, so that they will have nothing to play with in the future...

However, whether to join the battery swap camp actually depends on consumers’ acceptance of this model and the specific cooperation methods with Datang Heavy Industries.

They were prepared to wait and see for a while before talking.

Just when the major car companies were busy with their own thoughts, Kangchi continued to explain to everyone:

"What I want to focus on here is the 80KWh battery pack that will be installed on Guizhen's car in the future. Based on Guizhen's power consumption of 12Kwh per 100 kilometers in the CLTC test, it can give Guizhen a cruising range of 666KM."

"But in fact, everyone knows that the CLTC test is under ideal conditions. During normal driving, due to seasonal changes, driving habits and other reasons, the actual battery life of traditional liquid lithium batteries is usually 5-7 based on CLTC. The fold, especially in extremely low temperatures, may not even be half."

"Solid-state sodium-ion batteries will also be affected in this regard, but the impact is much smaller. According to our normal driving measurements, its actual range is between 530-640, of which the range of 530 is minus 15 in Daxinganling. Actual test data from running on a mountainous road.”

"I believe that through such a detailed explanation, everyone will have a clear understanding of the cars and battery products we released this time. What I want to say next is the price issue that everyone is most concerned about."

[80KWh battery pack, 400 yuan/month]

Looking at the words that appeared on the screen, netizens immediately started a new round of heated discussions.

Everyone's first reaction is that if you spend 400 yuan a month to rent a battery, you can fill up more than one tank of gas!

However, anyone who has bought a tram or is familiar with it must know that this price is definitely a bargain for a pure electric vehicle.

"To popularize science, with the current level of lithium battery technology, the service life of electric vehicles is actually only 3-5 years. When the battery capacity drops to 80%, the mileage will drop significantly, and when it reaches 70%, it will basically be scrapped. The cost of replacing the battery accounts for at least 40% of the total vehicle cost, which is basically equivalent to buying half a vehicle."

"Holy shit, you mean that for a 200,000 yuan pure electric car, 80,000 yuan is the price of the battery? If the car and battery are separated, the body is actually only worth 120,000 yuan?"

"Uh, buddy, you don't think 120,000 is cheap, do you?"

"Electric cars don't have engines and gearboxes. Apart from the battery, the motor and chassis are worth a lot of money. If you don't install a color TV and sofa in the car, car companies will be embarrassed to sell you 120,000 yuan..."

"Damn it, no wonder."

"So if we calculate it over five years, Mr. Kang's 80-degree battery pack will only sell for 24,000?"

"If it is a traditional lithium battery, it can indeed be calculated like this, but didn't you hear Mr. Kang just say that the theoretical cycle life of this sodium battery is as high as 5,000 times? If it really has this life, it will be no problem after ten years of use, and the sodium battery The manufacturing cost of batteries is inherently cheaper than lithium batteries, which is probably why Mr. Kang set the price so low..."

"I am a NIO battery-swap owner. In fact, the battery-swap mode is quite good. I never have to worry about the battery being scrapped. However, NIO's battery pack is a bit expensive, costing 880 yuan per month."

"Why don't you hurry up @Mr. Li and replace it with a battery pack from Datang Heavy Industries!"

"..."

During the discussion among netizens, Kangchi also completed the explanation of the battery pack rental plan.

He first promised that the health of the batteries used by each customer would be above 90%, and those below 90% would only be used for energy storage.

As for the cost of battery replacement, it is calculated based on the actual amount of battery replacement.

For example, if a battery replacement user still has 30 kilowatt-hours of electricity in his car, but the health of the battery he replaces is only 95%, and if it reaches 76 kilowatt-hours of electricity, it will be calculated based on the actual 46 kilowatt-hours.

As for the electricity price, it is calculated based on twice the local average electricity price, which is about 1.2 yuan/kWh.

At the same time, a service fee of 10 yuan will be charged for each battery replacement.

Equivalent to each battery replacement, the price is between 10-106 yuan.

Unless the user often replaces the battery when the battery is high, under normal circumstances, the cost of use per kilometer will not exceed 0.2 yuan, which is definitely much cheaper than a fuel vehicle.

After all, changing the battery once is equivalent to filling up the oil once, and the oil cost does not exceed 106 yuan at most. Where can you refill it?

However, in the future, all electric vehicles using Datang Heavy Industry battery packs will no longer support users’ own charging.

Therefore, for new energy car owners who have the conditions to install charging piles at their own homes and charge in valley every time, the cost of use may be a little higher.

In general, in terms of comprehensive cost of use, even if the battery rental is added, based on the average driving of Huaguo cars of 1,000 kilometers per month and the average of 0.5 yuan per kilometer for gasoline-powered cars, Kangchi’s plan is basically The price of oil and electricity is the same.

And on the basis of 1,000 kilometers per month, the more you drive, the more cost-effective it is.

In fact, Kangchi originally formulated the rental policy. To a large extent, it was not because it was afraid that users would drive their cars too much and replace batteries frequently, but because they were afraid that zombie cars would occupy the manholes and waste battery resources, so they set a monthly rental policy. Minimum usage cost of 400.

In terms of price, in addition to the same cost of use as gasoline and electricity, after removing 40% of the battery cost of electric vehicles, the naked price of electric vehicles can also be cheaper than fuel vehicles of the same level!

It wasn’t until after releasing the battery and battery replacement modes that Kangchi finally announced the price of Guizhen:

[The national unified price of Guizhen naked bikes is 59,999]!

"Fuck!"

"The naked car is less than 60,000?!"

"I feel that Guizhen is more like an electric version of Arrizo 8. It removes the engine and gearbox and replaces it with a motor. It should sell for at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, right?"

"The key is that its future use cost is very low!"

"A true industrial miracle!"

"Mr. Kang: Let me show you what it means to truly make friends!"

"666!"

"With this price, even the Hongguang MINI, which is less than 30,000 yuan and has a real range of only 100 kilometers, is calling me an expert!"

"I think the biggest problem with new energy vehicles is actually the value retention rate. Who can bear the loss of half of the car after driving it for two years? But with the Guizhen price + battery swap model, I don't have to worry about the value retention rate at all!"

“emm~ In fact, the current low-end fuel-powered Sylphy, Lavida, and Corolla cost just over RMB 70,000 or RMB 80,000. They don’t even come with batteries. You will have to spend several hundred yuan to rent batteries every month, which doesn’t feel much cheaper. "

"If you like R-series cars, why are you watching Mr. Kang's live broadcast!?"

"Haha, although Guizhen's configuration is low, it basically has everything you should have. It is recommended to go and see how far the low-profile Sylphy has been reduced before talking about it. Fabric seats, no central control screen, halogen lights...especially for tin cars. The body materials are not at the same level as Guizhen."

"..."

I don’t know if someone is deliberately setting the pace, or if they really think that domestically produced cars should be sold at cabbage prices. When most netizens feel that this price is the conscience of the world, some people still stand up and question that this price is not cheap.

However, among the tens of millions of real viewers, with only the minuscule number of trolls, you can imagine how difficult it is to set the rhythm. This very small number of voices was quickly drowned in the dense tide of barrages. , not even a single wave came out.
