Three most anticipated smart electric vehicles in 2022

In the spring of 202 1, everything revived. Although the epidemic still plagues people's lives to a great extent, the prospect of a "brand-new way of life" has begun to greatly promote scientific and technological progress and social revolution, which can be seen from the undercurrent of the global capital market. Last week, the Wall Street media revealed the details of the upcoming listing of FF founded by Jia Yueting in the United States, which made people look forward to the revolutionary product FF 9 1. At the same time, Weilai Automobile just made its debut in ET7, the first automobile product delivered in 2022, and the cruising range of 1000 km in the promotion made headlines, while Tesla announced early that it would launch a smart electric vehicle of about $25,000 in 2022.

There is no doubt that people are looking forward to taking off their masks, going out of their homes and connecting with each other in a new way in 2022. As a result, the comprehensive intelligent curtain of electric travel products will also be fully opened in 2022. What products have the potential to lead this competition? Who can meet the consumer's experience and demand of geometric mutation? Let's take a look at some of the most representative smart electric vehicle products that may be listed in 2022, from which we may smell the rush of future travel ecology.

FF 9 1- Late protagonist

Many people say that FF 9 1 won the annual innovation award on behalf of FF at CES, which caused an uproar. Its advanced nature, product concept and revolutionary user experience have become industry benchmarks, and it is a subversive product that is still expected by technology enthusiasts. Although FF has not been delivered in mass production in these years of life-and-death struggle, with the progress of science and technology and the upgrading of consumer demand, the over-advanced FF 9 1 has gradually won more mature market opportunities and mass production windows. It is reported that FF will deliver FF 9 1 in mass production within one year after successful listing. Therefore, we have reason to believe that consumers are finally expected to officially meet the legendary FF 9 1 in 2022, and the legendary king will return later. Whether the price of $200,000 and the reputation of luxury technology can match the product performance of FF 9 1 will be announced next year.

Last week, FF released the latest in-vehicle software update of FF 9 1 at its headquarters in Los Angeles, which ignited the enthusiasm of technology enthusiasts-intelligent lighting, seamless access to facial recognition, flexible driver control framework, voice AI integration at the operating system level, and sharing experience of Share. It echoes the multi-screen user solution with as many as 1 1 displays in the car, and outlines a smart cockpit with luxurious technology for consumers.

The body size of FF9 1 is 5250 x 2283 x 1.598mm, and the wheelbase is 3200mm. The body design is simple and compact. Aerodynamic design elements are widely used in the whole vehicle, and the drag coefficient is only 0.25. The scientific and technological body lines make FF 9 1 have the same body size as Rolls-Royce and Bentley. In terms of performance, the VPA variable-speed drive chassis architecture independently developed by FF, the peak power of pure electric motor used on FF9 1 can reach 783 kW, 1050 HP, and the peak torque 1800 Nm. The acceleration time from FF 9 1 0 to 60 mph is 2.39 seconds. FF means that FF9 1 has a cruising range of 378 miles in the EPA test and a score of 700 kilometers in the NEDC test.

Few people know that Jia Yueting pushed crowdfunding in the early days of FF's establishment, and invested $2 billion to independently develop the core technology of intelligent electric vehicles. At the beginning, after evaluating the scientific and technological level of FF, roland berger gave the view that FF has the most advanced intelligent electric vehicle technology. Evaluation, which also contributed to Evergrande's $2 billion shareholding in FF. Recently, a report by RSIP, a patent data analysis company, shows that FF has about 880 patents being applied for or authorized worldwide, of which 530 have been authorized, many of which are related to the Internet, autonomous driving and intelligence. The report also pointed out that FF's diversified patent portfolio is more powerful than OEMs including Toyota, Ford and Honda in similar technologies, and is comparable to Tesla in key technologies of electric vehicle patent portfolio.

The cruising range of Weilai ET7-1000 km needs time to prove.

Weilai Automobile, a start-up company of electric vehicles in China, released its first automobile product ET7 today. Li Bin, CEO of Weilai, said that ET7 car will be a warm living room with built-in massage seats and other functions, and the price will be 448-526,000 yuan. It is worth noting that the new car will have 150kWh solid-state battery pack to choose from, and the cruising range will exceed 1000km. The car is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2022, and the new battery pack will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022. There have been media reports that for the market positioning of ET7, Wei Lai pointed directly at the domestic BMW 7 Series. Some analysts pointed out that ET7 is benchmarking Model S in the field of electric vehicles, fuel vehicles up to BMW 7 Series and other models. Although Weilai still has a certain gap with BMW and Tesla, Tesla has no product layout in the price range of 400,000-600,000 yuan, and Weilai is expected to seize market share with differentiated play.

Weilai ET7 is positioned as a medium and large pure electric vehicle. The design of the whole vehicle is quite satisfactory, with double waistline design, hidden handle, large-size wheels and dynamic fashion. The length, width and height of the car are 5098/ 1987/ 1505mm, and the wheelbase is 3060 mm In terms of the interior experience of BMW 7 as standard, Weilai ET7 is decorated with renewable wood skin, and the whole system comes standard with dome glass roof, microfiber ceiling, HUD head-up display and Napa interior suit, which is remarkable. The car is equipped with a 12.8-inch central control panel and a 10.2-inch instrument panel, which improves the resolution and contrast. The new car adopts 64 kinds of color-adjustable surrounding waterfall atmosphere lights, which can be linked with different light and shadow effects and scenes to create a home atmosphere for drivers. ET7 is equipped with a combination of 180kW front permanent magnet and +300kW rear induction motor, with comprehensive power of 480kW, peak torque of 850n·m, acceleration time of 0- 100km/h of 3.9s, braking distance of 0- 100km/h of 33.5m and drag coefficient of 0.25. In terms of endurance, the car has three battery packs, with battery capacities of 70kWh, 100kWh and 150kWh respectively, and the cruising range under NEDC working conditions exceeds 500km, 700km and 1000km respectively.

However, just one week after Weilai released the battery pack with battery life of 1000 km that ET7 will carry, Academician Gao of China Academy of Engineering criticized the radicalization of the technical route of 1000 km at the Committee of the Hundred People Forum on Electric Vehicles. For a time, "1000 km battery is still on the road?" It has become a topic of discussion. Experts in the industry pointed out that the solid-state battery technology that can truly achieve 1000 km battery life will not be commercialized until 2025 at the earliest, so Weilai ET7 may only be equipped with semi-solid transition battery technology.

Indeed, Weilai's BMW 7 killer ET7 will not go on the market within one year, and Li Bin's 150kWh solid-state battery is only a "short" check at present. Weilai said that 150kWh battery technology is scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter of next year. This means that the owners who bought ET7 in the early days can only experience 70kWh and 100kWh ternary lithium batteries, and their endurance is not much different from the mainstream models on the market at present.
