Chapter 129 Metaverse Intelligent Control is really domineering
In contrast, even the low-end version of the solid-state lattice battery has an energy density of 500Wh/kg, which still shows a crushing advantage over the mainstream lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium batteries on the market.
This is why the country lists the 3000Wh/kg energy density top version as a top-secret technology, because the so-called top version of 1000Wh/kg announced to the outside world is already so terrifying.
At this moment, when Yu Changle heard the inquiry from the person in charge of BYD, he replied: "The purchase price of a single set of batteries for the high-end version is 210,000 yuan, and you can get a capacity of 350kWh; the mid-end version is 150,000 yuan, and you can get a 200kWh capacity; and the low-end version is 88,000 yuan, and you can get a 125kWh capacity."
The battery capacity of the BYD Qin EV 600km model is 71.7kWh, and its battery cost is about 80,000 yuan, which works out to 1,115 yuan/kWh.
If you switch to a low-end solid-state lattice battery, it is equivalent to 704 yuan/kWh, which is actually cheaper than lithium iron phosphate batteries.
And the high-end version with 350kWh is equivalent to only 600 yuan/kWh, which is more cost-effective than the low-end version.
Everyone present also discovered this.
The person in charge of BYD calculated that if the battery capacity of 71.7 kWh is the same as the current battery capacity of the Qin EV 600km model, and a high-end solid-state lattice battery is used, wouldn’t the price only cost more than 40,000 yuan?
Although the performance has not been improved, the cost has been reduced, so why not buy a low-end version of the Hammer? The low-end version costs 50,000 yuan to produce 71 kilowatt-hours of electricity, so you must choose the high-end version.
But it feels wrong. In this case, what is the point of Yuanjie Intelligent Control to create a low-end version?
Just when the person in charge of BYD was about to ask with doubts, the representative of Leading Car said first: "Mr. Yu, your quotation is a bit strange. According to your quotation, the high-end version is the most cost-effective. What is the meaning of the mid-to-low-end version?"
Obviously, everyone present has discovered this problem.
Seeing someone asking about this matter, BYD's representative did not speak, waiting for Yu Changle to answer his questions.
After a while, Yu Changle looked around at everyone and said: "Everyone, the solid-state lattice batteries adapted for new energy vehicles cannot be further disassembled and can only be used in a single set. For example, the high-end version of the 350-degree battery capacity does not mean that you need 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity and then disassemble a few parts. If you disassemble the entire set of batteries, you will not be able to do it. "
This statement immediately caused an uproar among the people present. BYD's representative couldn't help but said: "How is this possible? It can't be split?"
Everyone felt that Metaverse was engaging in bundled sales and was deliberately not allowed to be dismantled.
Suddenly everyone was a little dissatisfied.
Yu Changle said unhurriedly: "Of course miniaturization is possible, but the technology is more difficult and the cost is more expensive. We have adapted miniaturized solid-state lattice batteries for mobile consumer electronics. The combined capacity of 100 kilowatt hours of this battery costs millions of yuan."
When everyone heard this, no one said anything for a while.
After a while, the representative of Lixiang Automobile asked doubtfully: "It really can't be split?"
Hearing this, Yu Changle smiled and said calmly: "My company's technical team can't do it yet, but we are working on technical breakthroughs. Maybe the next generation can do it. If your company can do it, our company has nothing to say."
The implication is that if you have the technical strength to be able to break it down and still use it normally, then you are considered great.
The representative in charge of Lixiang Automobile was speechless. Although he could not find a reason to refute, he still suspected that this was done deliberately by Yuanjie Intelligent Control. It could definitely be dismantled, but he just didn't want to do it. Others present were also suspicious.
But doubts are doubts, and there is nothing you can do about Yuanjie Intelligent Control. People have said that if you can do it, then go for it. If you can handle Yuanjie Intelligent Control, you should accept it. If you can't, don't beep.
Having already said this, what else can be said?
Either accept the entire procurement package or not buy it.
But it’s true that I feel unhappy, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Whoever makes his skills inferior to others can only passively bear the opponent’s strength.
Those present have long heard that when doing business with Yuanjie Intelligent Control, no matter whether you are Party A or Party B, he will be your "father". It seems that he lives up to his reputation and is indeed domineering.
BYD Qin EV 600km model uses 71.7 kilowatt-hours of electricity and is officially rated to run 600 kilometers.
If the low-end version of the solid-state lattice battery is used, the battery with a capacity of 125 kilowatt-hours can theoretically run 1,050 kilometers, the mid-end version with 200 kilowatt-hours can theoretically run 1,670 kilometers, and the high-end version with 350 kilowatt hours can theoretically run nearly 3,000 kilometers.
The mid-range and low-end versions are mainly positioned for private cars, while the high-end version with a capacity of 350kWh is for large trucks.
This is not a hard and fast rule. Car owners who are not short of money and are willing to pay this money can also arrange a high-end solid-state lattice battery with a power of 350 kilowatt-hours for their private cars. In the future, some car owners will definitely use high-end batteries to extend the range.
However, for private cars, the mid-range version with 200 kilowatt-hours of electricity is the most suitable. The range is completely sufficient, and you don’t have to worry about running out of power halfway. You can turn on the air conditioning and other things in the car when you want. You don’t have to be afraid to drive it because of range anxiety, and the driving experience will be more comfortable.
And some new energy vehicle manufacturers will most likely launch high-end models that are suitable for 350 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Sufficient power is really important, because it gives car designers greater freedom. Zero-gravity seats or other power-consuming smart modules can be integrated into the car, making the car's functions richer and more diverse.
In the past, when the power was not enough, designers had to make concessions for the mileage of electric vehicles, and some designs or ideas that required more power had to be cut off.
The emergence of solid-state lattice batteries will inevitably bring huge changes to new energy vehicles.
Not only the cruising range has doubled, but also with the best performance in the country, it will definitely give you many new tricks and new experiences.
The same is true for smartphones. When the battery capacity of mobile phones increases from the current 3000 mAh to 10,000 mAh, the software and hardware will undergo huge changes. With greater redundancy, designers will be more unrestrained, causing the overall power consumption of the mobile phone to increase significantly.
In the past, when the battery was 1500 mAh, the mobile phone could last for one or two days.
Now it has increased to 3000 mAh, and the battery life is still one or two days.
A typical example is that the screens of mobile phones used to be small, but now the screens of mobile phones are larger and getting larger. Just as the screen becomes larger, it consumes more power.
In the future, if solid-state lattice batteries are used and the capacity is increased to 10,000 to 17,000 mAh, they may only be used for a day or two, because there is no guarantee that mobile phone manufacturers will release new products in the future and they will also give you a large screen on the back of the mobile phone.
It can be seen that whether it is the new energy vehicle industry, the smartphone industry, or other industries, the surge in capacity brought by solid-state lattice batteries will inevitably bring about earth-shaking changes in future new products.
In the conference room, the discussions that need to be discussed have basically been completed, and the price inquiries have also been completed.
The next step is the specific matter of purchasing and placing orders. Yu Changle looked around at everyone and said: "As for the procurement matter, who should deliver it first, I thought about it. It is not appropriate to deliver it to anyone first, and it is also inappropriate to pay the price to the one with the highest price." Let’s deliver them at the same time according to the proportion. For example, if we produce 10,000 sets of batteries and account for 30% of this purchase, we will deliver 3,000 sets to him, and if we account for 15%, we will deliver 1,500 sets. What do you think? ”
People present expressed no objection, and they saved the trouble of fighting over each other.
Finally, the person in charge of the representative of Li Auto said: "Our company will purchase 5,000 sets of batteries first, the 500Wh/kg low-end version."
The person in charge of the representative of Xiaopeng Auto said: "Our company will purchase 22,000 sets of the low-end version of the battery."
These words attracted the attention of friends and businessmen. Ali is the second largest shareholder of Xiaopeng Motors, and its pockets are quite deep.
The second largest shareholder of Weilai Auto is Goose Factory. Its representative said: "Our company is purchasing 20,000 sets of low-end versions."
Several new car-making forces have expressed their opinions, most of which purchase 10,000 to 20,000 sets. Weimar has the lowest purchase volume, only placing an order for 3,000 sets.
Because Yuanjie Intelligent Control adopts the condition of payment first and delivery later, the seven new car-making forces do not have sufficient funds, so they dare not purchase too much. They still want to see how the market responds when the time comes.
The seven new car-making forces have purchased a total of 100,000 sets of solid-state lattice batteries, and they are all 500Wh/kg low-profile versions.
Because the low-end version is enough.
In order to extend the range, manufacturers seem to be reluctant to buy the mid-range version. Instead, they would rather install two low-end versions in the car, which has a capacity of 250 kilowatt-hours, which is 50 kilowatt-hours more than the mid-range version.
The price of the low-end version is 88,000 yuan per set, and two sets are 176,000 yuan. The increase of 26,000 yuan is not unacceptable.
The most important thing is that one car can hold two sets of batteries, because the energy density of solid-state lattice batteries has increased significantly. The weight of the low-end 125kWh version is 275 kilograms, and two sets are 550 kilograms.
This weight is just right. Compared with the 588kg battery weight of the Tesla Model-S electric car, it is 38kg less.
Tesla Model-S electric car only needs 75 kilowatt-hours of electricity when fully charged. Two sets of low-end version solid-state lattice batteries weigh 550 kilograms. The battery capacity is 233% higher than that of Model-S, more than twice as much.
The seven major new car-making forces have all reported purchase quantities, and now only BYD is left.
Everyone looked at Di Zi’s representative, and Yu Changle also turned his attention to him.
此刻，只见比雅迪的代表负责人语惊四座：「我公司计划采购12万套500Wh/kg版本电池。」
话音刚落，顿时引得在场的人纷纷侧目，几大造车新势力的代表负责人都暗暗吃了一惊。
The representative person in charge of Lixiang Auto couldn't help but said: "What a courage. Is BYD going to completely abandon its self-developed batteries and switch to solid-state lattice batteries?"
In one breath, it placed an order for 120,000 sets at a purchase price of 88,000. The total amount of this order directly exceeded 10 billion, which is a huge 10.56 billion.
Unlike several major new car-making forces that have only been established for a year or two, BYD is an established manufacturer that has been established for more than 20 years. It sells both fuel vehicles and new energy electric vehicles. It can definitely afford the money.
Not long ago, BYD, as a listed company, disclosed the company's annual report.
Data disclosed in the financial report show that BYD sold 61,700 new energy vehicles in 2015, a year-on-year increase of +234%, accounting for 11% of the global market share, and ranking first in the world in sales of new energy vehicles.
His Qin car model made a significant contribution, with annual sales reaching 32,000 vehicles.
This year, BYD's performance goal is to increase the total annual sales of new energy vehicles to exceed 100,000 units.
此刻，在听到理响汽车负责人的话，比雅迪的负责人一脸无奈又坦诚地说：「不放弃又能怎样？元界智控搞出了固态晶格电池，直接把所有电池厂商给碾了个粉碎。」
