Today, I just saw a hot news report that the local SAIC Group in Shanghai has seen a substantial increase in sales due to the influence of the "New Deal". To what extent? Recently, SAIC gave the answer: due to favorable policies, new energy vehicles are popular. 10, SAIC sold13,646 new energy vehicles, up by 96.6% month-on-month and 196.3% year-on-year, making it the third largest new energy vehicle sales in China in that month. ...
It's just that Shanghai sells an average of 450 new energy vehicles a day. If one word is used to describe the status quo of SAIC's new energy after the "New Deal", then I think it can only be "selling crazy". On the other side of the globe, Empire of the Sun broke the news recently: it was originally planned to ban the sale of fuel vehicles in 2040, but now it has been "advanced" twice in a row.
A number of enterprises have set the time for "stopping production of fuel vehicles"
How to solve the battery life problem?
This month, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that Britain will ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel vehicles from 2030. In fact, in February this year, Britain announced that it would advance the original 2040 to 2035. What's more, Britain has announced that it will no longer regard "hybrid" vehicles as "new energy" in the future, and will stop producing all hybrid vehicles in 2035.
In this context, car companies all over the world (China is no longer alone) are also making every effort to enter the era of electric vehicles. But then again, battery technology seems to have reached a bottleneck at present, and no matter how hard you try, you can't improve the cruising range on the premise of ensuring safety.
Toyota declares patented technology!
Instantly solve the battery life problem of electric vehicles!
This is an embarrassing situation, but the company is trying to solve this problem. For example, in recent days, a patent issued by Toyota in Japan has attracted everyone's attention. The basic principle is to provide users with "mobile charging" service by using unmanned vehicles. So users don't have to go to the charging station.
According to Toyota's description, this patented technology allows users to "charge while driving" without stopping. The inspiration comes from the "aerial refueling" of air force fighters. After the charging is completed, the unmanned vehicle will automatically separate from the car, and then automatically drive back to the "energy supply station" to replenish ammunition. They even released a design concept map.
Toyota patented black technology? Are you sure?
China people laughed to death: We have been here for a long time!
It's just that once this patent sketch was made public, it attracted a burst of confusion from editorial friends ... It is said that a few years ago, when electric cars were just popular in Beijing, car owners came up with various ways to extend the cruising range of their cars. Some of them think that DIY will make a "small trailer" with a diesel generator on it. The "small trailer" was towed behind the car and connected with each other by cables.
If the electric car is dead, the owner only needs to operate a remote control, and the diesel generator in the "small trailer" behind will start charging the car. This is actually the prototype of the earliest "extended hybrid car"! We all remember that the car was stopped by the traffic police. After listening to the principle described by the owner, the traffic police themselves looked stunned and lamented that China's brain hole was too big ...
Now, Toyota has realized "unmanned driving" of "small trailer". It can automatically separate and "go home" after charging. This is almost a "high version", isn't it? ! Of course, there are too many tall black technologies involved, such as autonomous driving. Of course, there are also some real hidden dangers, such as the safety problems caused by the sudden appearance of so many "unmanned vehicles" on the road, which need to be solved.
A hundred schools of thought contend is a good phenomenon.
State intervention in the layout of "changing power stations"
At present, the more practical technical scheme should be based on a larger national strategy. For example, China proposed to try to standardize the battery boxes of vehicles from different manufacturers in the future, so as to facilitate the national construction of "changing power stations". Replacing high-speed charging with electricity exchange can solve the problem of long-distance use of new energy vehicles in expressway network.
Let's take a look at this patent of Toyota. Whether it's praise or disapproval, no matter how realistic the technology is, it at least proves that these big companies are planning for the future. 2020 is the worst year in the past decade and the best year in the next decade. The trend of the world changing from the fuel age to the power age is unstoppable, so what China can do and do well in the next 10 year may be something that every autobot must think about.
