If Tesla is the leader in new energy passenger vehicles, then BYD, a domestically produced independent brand, is the veritable second. Both have many patents in the field of new energy vehicles and are in many vehicles. In the opinion of netizens, BYD started out with batteries and has its own batteries and new energy technology for automobiles. However, they think that Tester only has strong electronic control capabilities and mostly uses Panasonic batteries and does not have its own batteries. In fact, otherwise. Recently, Tesla’s patent application for a new battery with a range of 1.6 million kilometers is adding fuel to the fire of Tesla in the battery field. It is not an exaggeration at all. So, Tesla’s new battery with a range of 1.6 million kilometers can run so far. ? What impact will it have on BYD, which started out as a battery company?
The establishment and commissioning of Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory is undoubtedly an attempt to “dominate” my country’s new energy market. Tesla’s sales in my country in the past few months alone are indeed gaining momentum. Such achievements are not only due to Tesla's bright brand, just like BBA, but mainly because Tesla does have its own excellent technology. For example, Tesla’s research on batteries. It is false that Tesla does not have its own batteries. However, Tesla does use Panasonic batteries. However, compared with the 21700 battery cells produced by Tesla itself, relevant personnel have done Tests show that Tesla batteries have the advantages of small internal resistance and high discharge rate, which means that they can last longer when used in cars.
Tesla has its own battery, and Tesla’s 1.6 million-kilometer new battery did not come out of thin air, but it does not mean that Tesla’s new battery can last 1.6 million kilometers. According to Tesla’s official news, 1.6 million kilometers is to increase the overall battery life to 1 million miles, which means that the entire vehicle life can theoretically reach 1 million miles without replacing the battery. 1 million miles is approximately equal to 1.6 million kilometers. It’s not that it can last as far as 1.6 million kilometers. It is said that the Panasonic battery used by Tesla previously had a battery life of about 500,000 kilometers. This time Tesla has a battery life of 1.6 million kilometers, which is indeed a huge breakthrough. It is equivalent to the service life of the entire vehicle of 20 to 30 years, which is a good solution. Short battery life and troublesome battery replacement.
We all know that the number of charges and discharges of commonly used ternary lithium batteries is about 1,000 times, that of lithium iron phosphate batteries is about 2,000 times, and that of Tesla’s 1.6 million-kilometer new battery The patent application uses nickel-cobalt-aluminum NCA electrodes to increase the battery's charging life to about 4,000 times, increasing the overall service life to 1 million miles. But BYD's "Blade Battery" is not bad either. It uses a new generation of iron phosphate batteries, with a cruising range of about 6 million kilometers, an overall battery life of up to 1.2 million kilometers, and a cost that is 30% lower than the previous generation. At the same time, BYD also holds thousands of battery patents. ?
From this comparison, Tesla does have an advantage in technology, not only over BYD, but also has an impact on almost all domestic electric vehicles, starting from Tesla Shanghai Judging from the situation of factory construction and sales, the Chinese people's recognition of Tesla is higher than that of domestically produced cars such as BYD. On the premise that the price is almost close, many car owners are willing to add tens of thousands more to buy a Tesla. This is our Volkswagen Psychology, coupled with the possible price reduction of Tesla in China in the future, more and more Chinese people may choose Tesla. Finally, Dazhao would like to ask everyone a question. If the selling price of Tesla is almost the same as that of domestic electric vehicles, will you still support domestic production?
