The world's first electric car was born in 188 1, driven by rechargeable lead-acid batteries, with a battery life of 16 km. Today, great changes have taken place in electric vehicles, and the cruising range has already reached more than 600 kilometers.
The first electric car was half a century earlier than the first Mercedes-Benz.
Speaking of the history of electric cars, first of all, I want to talk about the Hungarian inventor Anush Jedlik, the father of DC cars, who provided DC motors for electric cars. Then in 1834, Thomas Davenport, an American, made the first electric car driven by DC Motor Company and obtained the first patent of American automobile industry.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, robert anderson, a granite man, invented an electric carriage, and Gustav Truff, a French engineer, made the world's first electric car powered by lead-acid batteries.
At that time, the first electric car built by Mr. Gu had no practical use value. It is driven by 0. 1hp DC motor, with vehicle weight 160 kg, driving speed 15km/h and endurance 16 km. Unfortunately, it cannot be used by people.
But the trend of electric cars gradually became popular, and soon in 1884, the British inventor Thomas? Parker produced the first practical electric car. Like Tesla, which is popular now, the appearance of manned electric vehicles has quickly become popular in the upper class. In the eyes of people at that time, it didn't have such a huge shock as boiler car. It has no noise, no need to shift gears, and no smell of boiler. In short, the electric car was a veritable status symbol at that time. It was not until a year later that karl benz made the first fuel-efficient car. So from the perspective of cars, the first car in the world should be an electric car.
Electric vehicles set the world's first car record of exceeding 100 km/h.
The appearance of electric vehicles not only refreshed people's travel concept, but also refreshed people's speed. 1899, Belgian racers used electric cars to create the world's first car record with a speed exceeding 100 km/h. However, due to the short cruising range, the rapid rise of fuel vehicles and the high price, electric vehicles are gradually retiring after being the boss for 30 years.
In this way, more than half a century has passed. After the technology of electric drive, battery and electronic control is mature, electric vehicles reappear in the rivers and lakes. BYD F3DM, the first dual-mode electric vehicle in China, entered the consumer market, which is characterized by not relying on professional charging stations. Then the Tesla model began to shine. From a technical point of view alone, BYD is more complicated, advanced and practical than Tesla. BYD chose a more stable dual mode, while Tesla chose pure electricity more radically and packaged a bunch of autonomous driving concepts, although it has not been able to drive automatically until now.
/kloc-more than 0/00 years later, electric vehicles reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and the new forces of making cars began to master the technology.
Different from the powerful technical barriers formed by the internal combustion engine industry 100 years ago, with the support of national policies and large-scale manufacturing, a large number of new electric vehicle enterprises began to shine, including Weilai Automobile, which has luxurious positioning and dares to compete with Tesla, Xpeng Automobile with Internet genes, and Zero-Run Automobile with special research technology. With the help of relatively weak technical barriers in the fields of motors, electronic control and batteries, we quickly accumulated and began to master core technologies.
Taking a zero-run car as an example, on the core three-electric technology, the Heracles electric drive assembly of zero-run S0 1 integrates the drive motor, the motor controller and the reducer, in which the motor controller integrates the motor control module MCU, the vehicle control module VCU, the step-down chopper power module DCDC, the AC charging module OBC and the high-voltage power distribution module PDU, realizing the real eight-in-one design. Compared with Volkswagen's latest golf and Bora pure electricity, it is more advanced. Compared with Geely and Great Wall, when they started using Mitsubishi engines, they had to match the gearbox. The new force of building cars is still leading the industry in terms of three electricity.
Heracles electric drive module effectively reduces the high-frequency vibration of the controller, improves the reliability and life of the circuit board, and has achieved very obvious results in actual measurement. The overall weight of Heracles is only 9 1kg. On the premise of ensuring the same performance, it has achieved a major breakthrough in reducing weight by 30% and volume by 40%.
In the key aspect of intelligent automatic driving, zero-run S0 1 can realize L2.5 automatic driving, which is at the same level as Tesla, and it is the first to use technologies such as vein biological unlocking and face recognition. In terms of 77GHz millimeter wave radar, the core of autonomous driving sensing hardware, the zero-running car benefits from the technical advantages of Dahua Co., Ltd., and also realizes self-production and self-sales. In terms of intelligent manufacturing, zero-run cars also have intelligent manufacturing factories, and for the first time, three electric car garages have been set up separately among all car companies.
The future electric vehicle will be a double contest of manufacturing strength and market insight.
If local car companies pull the core technology of electric vehicles to the same starting line, where is the future of electric vehicles in China?
The development of mobile phone industry provides some interesting thoughts. When the processors, screens, batteries and systems of mobile phones become more and more popular, relying on the scale of industrial manufacturing in China and local enterprises' full understanding of the market, Xiaomi and OPPO can achieve lower-cost manufacturing and adapt to the trend models of Chinese people, and the corresponding price is that Samsung closed its last factory in China. This should have been placed 10 years ago. Who will believe that Xiaomi and OPPO can drive away Samsung? Similarly, the opportunities of Zero Run, Weilai and Tucki are also here. In the current competition of electric vehicles, mastering the core technology is undoubtedly the key to win. As for who will stand out in the end, we will wait and see.
