According to reports, the "blade battery" is 50% higher than the traditional iron battery in terms of volume specific energy density. It has the characteristics of high safety and long service life, and the service life of the whole vehicle can reach more than one million kilometers.
As the core technology of pure electric vehicle, battery is a battleground for military strategists in the battle of new energy vehicles. Every time the battery is upgraded, it will definitely attract countless eyes.
Here, Wang Chuanfu, chairman and president of BYD, just introduced his own battery. Over there, all kinds of doubts followed.
One of the biggest doubts is whether the core patent of the new battery belongs to BYD.
Specifically, in terms of batteries, whether it is BYD's iron battery or ternary battery, the core patents are in Europe and America, and there is no core patent in China. In addition, the application for blade battery is a utility model patent, not a technology patent.
Of course, BYD also responded to the question quickly. In the field of blade batteries, BYD has applied for more than 320 patents, which have priority in domestic applications and overseas patents are also being applied simultaneously.
Who is right and who is wrong is unknown, but it doesn't seem to matter. What is important is that we once again feel the weight of batteries in the new energy automobile industry.
June 26th, 20 19, as a watershed of subsidies for new energy vehicles, touched the sensitive nerves of car companies and consumers.
Since then, all local subsidies for new energy vehicles have been cancelled, central subsidies have been halved, and the overall slope has dropped by more than 50%. New energy vehicles have officially entered the post-subsidy era.
According to the established policy of the country before, the new energy subsidy has been designed from the beginning, so this watershed is foreseeable. All the immortals know it. There is a banquet before the retreat, and you have to rely on your own ability after the retreat.
With the strong support of the government, financial subsidies have indeed promoted the rapid development of domestic new energy automobile industry, from scientific research to industrialization to marketing, while cash subsidies mean the improvement of cost performance of car purchase, which is also a real carrot for consumers.
However, in 20 19, the sales volume of new energy vehicles decreased by 4% year-on-year for the first time in ten years, and the output also decreased by 2.3%.
After the subsidy is refunded, it should not be a price increase, but a big reshuffle under the technology upgrade and cost control.
The existence of subsidies enables car companies to quickly open up the situation, concentrate on expanding production and scale, and the overall market is rapidly subdivided and evolved, so that people who are interested in entering the market have a hand.
After the withdrawal of subsidies, the market really needs a baptism, and enterprises should seek a breakthrough by upgrading vehicle structure, developing high-performance batteries, building innovative and open business models, and optimizing product configuration.
At present, the battery is still the ballast stone for the benign development of new energy vehicles.
In fact, from the previous subsidies, it is not difficult to find that the calculation method of subsidies is based on electricity or vehicle mileage. Even though the sales volume of new energy vehicles in China decreased in 20 19, the output, sales volume and loading capacity of power batteries increased by 2 1%, 2 1.4% and 9.2% respectively, and the market demand was strong.
The battery market is shuffled synchronously. In only 20 19 years, 10 supporting power battery enterprises were killed, and only 79 manufacturers still loaded cars.
In the game, Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. occupies half of the country with ternary lithium batteries.
Combined with the current market situation and development prospect, ternary lithium battery is undoubtedly the first choice in terms of energy density and thermal stability, and its 20 19 year loading capacity is as high as 40529.8MWh, which will be the first choice for new energy vehicles before large-scale application of solid-state batteries.
At the same time, the price-performance ratio of lithium iron phosphate battery is higher because of the subsidy recession. If BYD's "Blade Battery" arrives as scheduled, it will also play a positive role in the future market recovery of lithium iron phosphate battery.
It can be said that the transformation of the new energy market and the transformation of the power battery market have entered a critical period at the same time, and the relationship between them is inseparable. Technology reduces costs and sales continue. Whoever has the best battery technology, or who chooses the most suitable battery for loading, can enter the next game.
