After Tesla's share price rose repeatedly earlier and successfully surpassed Toyota to become the world's largest car company by market value, Weilai's share price has also soared recently, successfully surpassing large multinational groups such as BMW and Ferrari, and ranking among the top global car companies 10.
Not only that, Peng Auto and Li, as the heads of the new car-making forces, also ushered in a bright moment and realized a sharp rise in their share prices.
Of course, the new car-making forces are welcoming good news, which is closely related to the "New Energy Automobile Industry Development Plan (202 1-2035)" issued by the State Council. According to the plan, by 2025, the sales of new energy vehicles in China will reach about 20% of the total sales of new vehicles.
According to the data of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first three quarters of this year, the overall sales volume of automobiles was171.6 million, and the overall sales volume of new energy vehicles was 734,000, accounting for only 4.3%, which means that the prospects of new energy vehicles are infinitely broad.
At the same time, it is reported that FF9 1 has been officially offline. If nothing unexpected happens, this car will be mass-produced in 9 months.
At a time when the new energy market is hot and the new power to build cars is high, this news can't help but make people think. If you can start over, will FF have a different result? Will the head enterprises of the new forces making cars be different?
▍FF's connecting flight
Previously, Dr. Bi Fukang, CEO of FF, tested FF9 1 in various places, and showed all the advanced technologies of FF9 1, which left a deep impression on people. Now, coupled with the news that this car is about to be mass-produced, perhaps the pattern of the new energy market will also change.
For the new forces to build cars, apart from the moment when the company was founded, two nodes are very important, one is the listing of production cars, and the other is the official listing of the company.
Now, FF will finally usher in this important first node, so what is its turning point? Perhaps it has something to do with FF's new $45 million financing.
It is understood that under the leadership of Jia Yueting, FF obtained a new senior secured loan of US$ 45 million from an established American commercial bank. Although he no longer holds the equity of FF, FF was founded by him after all, and now he will seize the opportunity when he smells it.
Building a car is a business that burns money. The new forces of making cars interpreted this sentence with practical actions. Due to lack of funds, many new forces have left. Even Weilai, who is now a smash hit, is in a dilemma because of financing problems.
For building a car, $45 million may be just a drop in the bucket, but for FF, it can last for a while, and more importantly, it also stabilizes FF's morale.
On the one hand, FF can continue to discuss cooperation with investors, and at the same time promote the off-line plan of production cars, thus gaining an advantage in the negotiations; On the other hand, FF employees have more energy and confidence to put into their work and promote the company's better development.
In addition, according to FF's mass production plan, FF9 1 will start mass production about 9 months after the successful completion of Series A financing, and the newly announced FF? The research and development preparations for 8 1 electric vehicles, future models and next-generation core technologies will also be completed as soon as possible.
If FF9 1 can move from "PPT" to reality as soon as possible, and the product strength has withstood the test of the market, then the subsequent financing will naturally follow, let alone go public.
▍FF's confidence
Speaking of it, it has been nearly four years since the first appearance of the FF9 1 concept car, and many concept cars in the same period have been mass-produced. Why is FF9 1 so important? This is related to its excellent performance and advanced technology, as well as the comprehensive strength of FF.
After the last apology to Weibo, Jia Yueting once again voiced his voice in the Weibo, and this time he forwarded a micro-headline news of Faraday's future, with an article saying that "product and technological innovation is the core value and driving force of the next generation of automobile industry transformation, and FF will continue to concentrate resources and key investments and continue to play a leading role in the industry."
And this news shows that Randolph, a patent data analysis company? Square? IP(RSIP) proves that FF's diversified patent portfolio is more powerful than many leading OEMs of the same technology! Especially in key technologies, FF's electric vehicle patent portfolio is comparable to Tesla.
The data shows that FF has applied for or authorized about 880 practical and design patents around the world, including 530 patents, which is quite difficult for a start-up car company established only five years ago.
In addition to the core technology of electric vehicles, many patents of FF are related to the Internet and autonomous driving, which shows the comprehensive strength of FF in automobiles and technology.
For example, it has created a patented battery design, so that all major battery components are immersed in coolant to improve battery safety, prolong battery life and increase energy density. For another example, in terms of fast charging technology, FF independently developed a charging power higher than 200 kW, which is equivalent to Tesla V3 fast charging and has reached the international advanced level.
More importantly, FF has the ability of free development, which enables FF to integrate the most advanced components, which is why FF has always been able to maintain enough attention in the new energy market.
It is FF's leading technology in new energy vehicles that makes FF9 1 never fall behind the times, and these advanced patents ensure that it can compete with Tesla after listing.
The strength of ff 91
When FF9 1 was founded, its opponent was Tesla, and it even had the title of "Tesla Black Boy".
In order to surpass Tesla, FF9 1 is equipped with a front motor and two rear motors. The peak power of the three motors can reach 783kW, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is less than 3 seconds.
At this year's CES Electronics Show, FF9 1 won unanimous praise from the industry for its superior performance and unique eye-catching interior.
It is understood that it will be equipped with the largest head-up display in the industry and adopt revolutionary technology, which will make every user experience the best visual and driving experience. The head-up display used by FF9 1 can project information 2.7 meters in front of the driver to help the driver focus on the road.
In addition, it is equipped with 1 1 intelligent LCD screen, in which the central display screen is 15.4 inches, and the rear row is equipped with a 27-inch large screen. A palm-sized smart screen is also placed in each door, and the co-pilot also has a larger smart screen, which functions like an ipad.
FF9 1 attaches great importance to the driving, riding and entertainment experience in the car. With so many display screens, the entertainment of the passengers in the car is satisfied. In this case, its comfort can not be ignored.
FF equipped this car with two independent zero-gravity seats, and its design was inspired by ergonomics proposed by NASA. It can lean back 60 degrees, support ventilation, dehumidification and massage, and the user is comfortable lying on it.
In addition, FF9 1 also supports face recognition, seamless entry, automatic parking, remote control, voice call and other functions.
When it comes to new energy vehicles, autonomous driving technology is indispensable. An important reason for Tesla's popularity is its FSD autonomous driving technology. In this respect, FF9 1 is not inferior. Equipped with the most advanced automatic driving technology at present. There are 10 cameras in the front and rear of the car body, 12 high-precision sensors around the car body, 13 radar and a 3D radar, which can realize the functions of completely autonomous parking.
Both in performance and endurance, FF9 1 is better than the current Tesla model, which is why FF9 1 frequently jumps tickets, but the news about it always touches the heartstrings of all parties.
The domestic new energy market entered the cold winter last year, but in a blink of an eye, it got rid of the shackles of the cold winter and got back on track, ushered in the second spring of development; Under the double pressure of new energy winter and epidemic situation, the new car-making forces made more noise than rain, but survived the most difficult time. Not only did Tucki and Ideal go public, but the new car-making forces of the second echelon also made great progress in sales volume, which was impressive.
There are infinite possibilities in the new energy market, and FF who has mastered the core technology of new energy may use FF9 1 to seize this possibility. By then, "going back to China next week" will no longer be fun.
