Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"520kW peak charging, that's kilowatts, is this a scary number that will definitely not explode the lithium battery?"

"How powerful a heat dissipation system would be needed to suppress this? Could it be that Longxing Group has developed room-temperature superconducting materials?"

"You know what? If there are room-temperature superconducting materials, I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches 50000 kW, because there is no energy spillover, no heat conversion, and no explosion of the lithium battery. At most, it will explode when it reaches the capacity limit."

"520kW is so terrifying, it's far ahead..."

“So far ahead…”

When the parameters of the polymer semi-solid-state battery were announced, the entire audience, including CEOs of competing companies, all widened their eyes, their pupils flashing with surprise.

What does 520kW charging power mean?
Take the Model S 60 released by Tesla overseas as an example. Its peak charging power is 70kW. If the exclusive super charging pile is not used, the charging power is only 12kW, which is also the common power of charging piles abroad.

The peak charging power of polymer lithium batteries is 7 times higher than that of lithium batteries used by Tesla, which made Masick's palms sweat, and he wanted to know how this was done.

Chen Xing pressed his hand, and when the noise on the scene subsided a little, he smiled and said, "The parameters of the polymer semi-solid lithium battery will probably keep many of our friends awake tonight, but this is what we like to see the most. Now let's analyze the pros and cons of this battery item by item."

"Wuhu, Mr. Chen is awesome!"

“Shuffle, shuffle!”

"As a Yadea electric car owner, I can't imagine the 528kW charging power. Mr. Chen is as awesome as ever!"

"This is the foundation of science and technology, awesome!"

There was constant applause and cheers from the audience, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city. Chen Xing, despite the huge pressure on his eardrums, continued to chat and laugh, saying, "Let's talk about these 120 kWh of electricity first, and see how long this electricity can last, and how much money it can save."

Chen Xing paused for half a second, quickly organized his words and continued:

"As we all know, our new energy vehicles are powered by electricity, and the capacity of lithium batteries is equal to the gasoline capacity of fuel vehicles."

"Generally speaking, the fuel tank capacity of a family car is about 50 to 60 liters. We combined various data such as basic fuel consumption, air conditioning, driving habits, etc. to come up with a relatively average fuel consumption value per 100 kilometers, which is about 8.5 liters of gasoline per kilometers."

"Through the numerical values, we can conclude that the actual mileage of a family car with a full tank of gas is about 500 to 800 kilometers."

When Chen Xing was speaking, the corresponding PPT page appeared on the LED screen behind him, making the data more authoritative.

But after all, we are not a professional research organization. After talking about the fuel range, he quickly added: "Of course, since we are not a professional data research organization, the value of 500 kilometers to 800 kilometers is for reference only."

Although Chen Xing said that this is not authoritative data, for experienced drivers, this mileage is acceptable.

Even though most cars only consume 6 or 7 liters of fuel per kilometers, that is only the basic power fuel consumption, which is not accurate at all.

The most classic example is Luxgen, which has an official fuel consumption of around 8.7 per 13 kilometers, but in actual driving it can reach an astonishing 14 or even per kilometers. It is no wonder that other car owners publicly joked that Luxgen owners are strategic partners of Long Petroleum.

"Now that we know that 500 to 800 kilometers is the maximum range of ordinary household fuel vehicles, let's take a look at the actual range of the Linghang 120 equipped with a 001-degree polymer semi-solid lithium battery through a road test video."

Chen Xing moved sideways and quickly pressed the remote control in his hand.

next second.

The LED screen shows the actual test video.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Xing. Today is the winter solstice and the weather is getting colder. Remember to put on more clothes. But when you see this video, it should be the press conference."

At the beginning of the video, Chen Xing, wearing a black down jacket, had just fastened his seat belt. He looked at the camera and told about what he was going to do today, just like chatting with a friend.

"Today we are going to test the actual range of the Pilot 120, which is equipped with 001 kWh of polymer semi-solid batteries."

After that, he picked up the camera, pointed the lens at the dashboard and said, "As you can see, the car is now fully charged. We won't waste any more time and start testing."

After re-fixing the camera position, Chen Xing in the video started the car, drove out of the underground garage, and came to the streets of Shenzhen.

At the beginning, the video was not accelerated, but the driving process is boring and impossible to present completely, so it needs to be accelerated.

"Now we are in Guangfu. We have traveled 114 kilometers and still have 104 kWh of electricity. On average, 1 kWh of electricity is used between 6 and 7 kilometers."

The initial exposure of the battery life value made Zeng Yu, the CEO of CATL, unable to sit still. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "1 kWh of electricity can run 7 kilometers, and this is in a winter environment with the heater turned on."

As a lithium battery technology company, he is well aware of the impact of winter on lithium batteries.

As we all know, lithium batteries in low temperature environments will cause the chemical reaction rate inside the battery to slow down, the resistance of the electrolyte solution to increase, and the lithium ion crossing performance to deteriorate, the activity to decrease, and the discharge current to decrease.

To put it simply, a low temperature environment will increase the viscosity of the electrolyte and even cause partial solidification, resulting in poor conductivity of the lithium-ion battery.

"Incredible."

Wang Fu couldn't hold it anymore.

If he remembered correctly, the discharge capacity of CATL's 100-degree Shenxing battery would be cut by 30% in winter. Even at room temperature, it would be impossible for 1 degree of electricity to run six or seven kilometers.

"How can it be so energy-efficient?" Masike was also puzzled.

"How do we achieve energy conservation and efficiency improvement?" Honda Group President Otaki Kazuki frowned, with question marks written all over his face.

It is no exaggeration to say that polymer semi-solid lithium batteries have exceeded everyone's expectations, including the tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room.

"It only took 114 kWh of electricity to travel 16 kilometers, and on average 1 kWh of electricity can travel 7 kilometers. Doesn't that mean that the polymer semi-solid battery can travel 840 kilometers?"

"More than that, far more than that. I'm a professional in energy storage materials. Lithium batteries will lose energy in low temperature weather, about 25% to 30%. Mr. Chen conducted the winter solstice test, and there was no chance of running out of extremely cold weather. In other words, the standard version of the Pilot 001 may have a range of more than 1000 kilometers."

"Fuck, 1000 kilometers?"

"And the heating is on! Heating consumes much more electricity than cooling. Be brave, 1100 kilometers!"

"Nothing to say, we are so far ahead!"

The live broadcast room was filled with comments. Although the test video had not yet ended, based on the first disclosure of information, the entire network had already calculated the actual battery life of the standard version of the Pilot 001.

The video continued to play. Chen Xing drove northward and arrived at the Liannan Ancient Village Tourist Area. He had a quick meal and drove directly into western Guangxi.

Every time he stops at a place to rest, Chen Xing will report the remaining battery power.

"I have arrived in Guilin and am now looking for a place to park and have some snail noodles. I have 31 kWh of battery left and have driven over 600 kilometers. I estimate that I still have 200 kilometers to rest. It's just right for me to go to Nanning, the capital of western Guangxi."

The video, which lasts less than five minutes, shows Chen Xing traveling from Shenzhen to northern Guangdong, and then from northern Guangdong to western Guangxi. It was like a cloud tour.

After eating the snail noodles, Chen Xing in the video did not rest but drove directly to Nanning, and his battery power began to run out.

20 degrees.

10 degrees.

5 degrees.

When the lithium battery has only 3 degrees of power left, the center console screen will immediately remind you to charge it in time, and give the corresponding charging station location and occupancy status.

However, Chen Xing chose to ignore it and drove across the highway on the remaining 3 kWh of electricity and entered the jurisdiction of Nanning City.

"It's the last kilowatt-hour of electricity. Let's find a marginal road and finish this run."

While Chen Xing was speaking, he turned the steering wheel but did not head towards the city.

After driving around for dozens of minutes, an emergency reminder popped up on the center console screen.

[Emergency reminder, the remaining power of the lithium battery is less than 1%. It is estimated that the vehicle will completely lose power in 2 minutes. Please drive to the side of the road and pay attention to the vehicles coming from behind. If you need to call for emergency services, you can directly say "Call". ]

Chen Xing drove silently to the right, and a 120-second countdown appeared on the center console.

As the number continued to approach 0, the speed of the Pilot 001 began to automatically decrease and there was no way to force acceleration. As the countdown ended, the vehicle was finally brought to a complete stop.

Although the plane broke down, Chen Xing was not in a hurry. He picked up the camera and recorded: "The odometer before departure was 4041 kilometers, and now it is 4891 kilometers. In other words, the 120-kWh polymer semi-solid lithium battery can provide the mileage of Linghang 001 with 850 kilometers."

When the mileage results came out, applause broke out again.

From Shenzhen to Nanning, we turned on the air conditioner and heater all the way, and the actual range of 850 kilometers obtained has surpassed most fuel vehicles.

The live broadcast screen cut back to the Shenzhen International Racing Circuit. Chen Xing, who was sitting on the podium, walked calmly and methodically from one side of the podium back to the center.

"850 kilometers of range, this is the answer given by our standard version."

"Clap clap-"

The applause was thunderous and continuous.

Chen Xing waited quietly for a few seconds until the applause died down a little, then he continued, "120 kWh of electricity, 0.6 yuan per kWh, which is equivalent to 1 yuan for 72 kilometers. Let's compare it with the cost of a gasoline car."

At this point, he pressed the remote control, and the LED screen immediately showed the gasoline price list from four days ago.

No. 92 gasoline: 5.58 yuan per liter.

No. 95 gasoline: 5.95 yuan per liter.

No. 97 gasoline: 6.44 yuan per liter.

“如图所示，粤东省1月21号的油价是，92号汽油每升5.58元，95号汽油是5.95元每升，97号汽油则是每升6.44元。”

Chen Xing did not pause at all and directly announced the answer: "As we said just now, an ordinary household fuel car consumes about 100 liters of gasoline for every 8.5 kilometers. In other words, the cost of 850 kilometers is about 92 yuan for 403.31-grade gasoline, 95 yuan for 429.29-grade gasoline, and 97 yuan for 466.4-grade gasoline."

"hiss!"

The audience who were not good at math were shocked.

They thought that new energy vehicles could save money, but they didn’t expect it to be so economical!

"Damn, for the same 850km, a fuel car would cost more than 400 yuan, but a new energy car would only cost 72 yuan!"

"Mr. Chen is really awesome. This man is really not bragging. Electric cars are really new energy. They can save a lot of money!"

"850 kilometers, with air conditioning and heating throughout, only 72 yuan. No, what else do I need a bicycle for? Just buy new energy vehicles. This is the future trend!" "I unilaterally declare that fuel vehicles will be replaced by new energy vehicles!"

"I've never passed math since I was a kid, but this time, I finally understand. Even if the electricity cost for charging doubles, new energy vehicles are still cheaper than fuel vehicles!"

What do ordinary people look for when buying a car?
1. Quality.

2. Price.

3. Save fuel (electricity).

Quality represents safety and value retention, price represents cost-effectiveness, and fuel (electricity) saving represents daily expenses.

In terms of quality, the Linghang 001 has already demonstrated that the body structure uses 2000 MPa of material and integrated die-casting, making the body stronger and lighter.

At this time, the CEOs of rival car companies in the stands all had gloomy faces. They could not find any faults with the parameters and configuration of the Pilot 001, and could only wait for Chen Xing's next words.

"Now that the range has been announced, the next thing that car owners are most concerned about is charging."

Chen Xing is still full of confidence.

Press the remote control to switch to the next PPT page.

At this time, the LED screen does not display the battery parameter configuration, but a screenshot of the coded comments on Weibo.

Chen Xing did not hesitate and continued, "I saw a lot of voices on the Internet saying that it only takes a few minutes to refuel a fuel car, but it takes several hours to charge the lithium battery of a new energy car."

"Here, let me dispel a rumor. It doesn't take hours to charge our Pilot 001. It only takes 20 minutes to charge the polymer semi-solid battery from zero to full power."

"20 minutes?"

Luo Hao was no longer calm.

Wang Fu of BYD, Chen Hong of SAIC, and Masick of Tesla all had shock in their eyes again. They were about to say something, but Chen Xing at the podium did not give them the chance.

"With a charging time of 20 minutes and a peak charging power of 520 kW, I'm sure everyone is curious about how we achieved this."

At this point, Chen Xing pressed the remote control, and the LED screen behind him switched again, showing a demonstration of the fast charging setup.

"If you want fast charging, you naturally need exclusive fast charging piles. The exclusive charging piles we have invested tens of billions of yuan in building across the country can recognize the energy chip of Linghang 001."

"Once the vehicle model is confirmed, the fast charging pile will output a charging power of up to 520kW to quickly charge the high-rate cells of the polymer solid-state lithium battery."

"Some people may ask whether the peak charging power of 520 kW is unsafe or whether lithium batteries may explode. Here, I will explain the reasons to you."

Chen Xing pressed the remote control again and switched to the next PPT page.

"The reason why lithium batteries spontaneously combust and explode is generally due to damage to the internal diaphragm, which causes electrolyte leakage."

"For example, if the temperature is too high and the diaphragm melts, it will cause the electrolyte to leak and cause spontaneous combustion and explosion."

"In theory, as long as the internal temperature of the lithium battery is well controlled, it will not spontaneously combust, let alone explode."

"In order to achieve rapid cooling, our Longxing Group's heat dissipation laboratory has designed a dedicated "Aquasonic Liquid Cooling Temperature Control System", which uses new heat dissipation materials and a unique pipeline design to cover every battery pack. After tens of thousands of charging tests, the temperature of the polymer semi-solid battery is always controlled below 100 degrees, so you can rest assured."

"Impeccable, simply perfect." After listening to Chen Xing's story, Luo Hao, the CEO of Hammer Company, couldn't help but admire.

The parameters currently displayed by the Pilot 001 are so attractive that even this billionaire CEO, who is used to driving a Maybach, cannot help but be tempted.

The vehicle body structure has a strength of 2000 MPa, an extreme endurance of 850 kilometers in winter, and most importantly, the charging time is only 20 minutes!

Luo Hao is like most ordinary people. The reason he refuses to accept new energy vehicles is the charging time.

For a fuel car, refueling only takes a few minutes.

But if it takes several hours to charge your new energy vehicle, how troublesome would that be?
But now the results are out, 20 minutes, 20 minutes on a full charge!

What does 20 minutes mean?
Just take a nap and it's over.

Whether driving on the highway or charging in the city, 20 minutes is an acceptable range and is just enough time to rest.

Luo Hao was not the only one who was impressed. Even Ferrari enthusiast Duan Yongping was a little moved and said, "The Pilot 001 is really amazing, far beyond my expectations."

I thought that new energy vehicles were a rising star and it would take some time for them to catch up with their predecessor, fuel vehicles.

did not expect…

Killed instantly!
Unlike the CEOs of rival companies who were just watching the fun, the CEOs of the car companies were collectively silent.

I thought that Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Dami Company could not produce any good cars, but I didn't expect that their parameters were more explosive than each other.

Not only is it an integrated die-casting, it is also equipped with L3 level unmanned driving, which would be acceptable if it were up to this point, but it actually has a range of 850 kilometers, and this is in winter, when the lithium battery life is discounted, and the data is run with the heating on throughout the entire journey.

How to play?
How to compete with others?
Wang Fu was silent, Chen Hong was helpless, and Zeng Hong even wanted to leave. They only realized now that Chen Xing had never regarded domestic car companies as competitors. The reason why he had not held a press conference was to compete with Tesla.

However, at this moment, Masike's eyes had completely changed. He now seriously suspected that Longguo was setting a trap for him.

It is obvious that Longguo has "top car companies" in its own country, but it pretends that it cannot produce high-end cars to confuse the whole world, and then deceives itself and Modu into signing a "betting agreement".

"Fuck! I've fallen into a trap." Masik realized it belatedly and his breathing became rapid.

If Tesla loses this "bet agreement", it will be completely devastated and may even be killed.

"At this point, we can only see whether other car companies have technical reserves."

Masike thought to himself that he knew very well that it was impossible for him to fight against Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Dami Company by himself. They must unite to resist this new force in car manufacturing.

However, what he didn't know was that BMW Group CEO Nagel, Mercedes-Benz Group CEO Olaf Reiter, Audi Group CEO Dussmeier, Honda Group President Kazuki Otaki, and Toyota Group President Takahiro Saikawa had all made up their minds to enter the field of electric vehicles as soon as they returned.

This means that other car companies do not have much technical reserves.

When the CEOs of the car companies were so surprised that they were speechless, Chen Xing on the podium spoke again: "Now that we have introduced the polymer semi-solid-state battery, it is time to introduce the sulfide all-solid-state battery, which is also called the Thor battery."

The moment the words fell, the audience in the live broadcast room, who were already refreshing their screens frantically, became even more frantic, and they were all discussing sulfide solid-state batteries.

"Thor?"

"Shit, Thor battery. My intuition tells me that batteries with code names are not simple. They can't have a range of 1000 kilometers, right?"

"1000 kilometers is a sure thing. I value charging power and time more. I hope Mr. Chen will not let me down!"

"No, Mr. Chen, are you serious? Solid-state batteries actually exist, and they're called Thor. I feel like I can't afford the Pilot 001. It feels too high-end."

"I'm a student, I bought it for 9.9!"

As countless comments appeared, the CEOs of the car companies and viewers around the world watching the live broadcast held their breath.

Semi-solid-state batteries are so awesome, what about fully solid-state batteries?

Chen Xing didn't question it for a moment. He pressed the remote control and the answer was revealed directly.

Battery capacity: 200 degrees.

Energy density: 299Wh/kg.

Charging power: Current is 700A+, charging power is 520kW.

Maximum discharge power: 7.3kW.

Temperature pipe system: liquid cooling.

"200 kWh of electricity is 80 kWh more than the polymer semi-solid battery. Can it be understood as an additional 560 kilometers of range?"

"More than 1400 kilometers of range?"

"Hiss, is this a solid-state battery?"

There were constant exclamations at the scene, and Honda Group President Kazuki Otaki's eyes widened at this time, not because of the mileage, but because he found that in the charging power column, the "peak" of current and power had disappeared.

What does this mean?
The current is 700A+, and the charging power of 520kW is no longer the peak?
What is the upper limit of charging power?
He didn't dare to think about it!
Now he just wanted to go back to the hotel and slap himself hard twice, wondering if he was dreaming.

Mashik, who was slow to realize it, also noticed the clues and didn't dare to breathe. If possible, he really wanted to sit down and talk with Chen Xing and ask him if he could surrender and lose half. This parameter was too outrageous.

"As you can see, this is a 200-degree ultra-large capacity lithium battery."

Chen Xing smiled faintly, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, and continued:

"Because the Thor battery is fully solid-state, its range will not be affected by extreme cold weather. This is not only good news for friends in the north, but also good news for car owners who pursue longer driving range."

As soon as he finished speaking, he continued: "As I said just now, it is not affected by extreme cold weather, so its actual range reaches 8 kilometers per kilowatt-hour."

"Fuck!!!"

"No way, 1600 kilometers?"

"THOR BATTERY!!!"

"No need to say more, we are far ahead!!!"

There were constant exclamations at the press conference, and audiences across the Internet were all amazed by this number. A range of 1600 kilometers was beyond their understanding of cars.

Charge once and run for half a month?

It’s too exaggerated!!!
However, what they didn't know was that the trump card was still to come. Chen Xing gently pressed the remote control, raised the volume to suppress the cheers from the audience, and solemnly announced: "And its charging time is, it only takes 7 minutes to fully charge from zero!"
