Chapter 38 Surging and Elegant
Although the automobile factory of Purchase Power has not been completed yet.
But this does not prevent Huang Haojie from designing electric cars.
Three car designers poached from Volkswagen in Shanghai were designing the first electric car with Super Power according to Huang Haojie's request.
Huang Haojie's requirements are very simple. He uses the Volkswagen Beetle as the prototype, integrates the classical style of classic cars, and uses a large number of arcs.
Especially the four-wheeled wrapping sheet metal almost takes a hemispherical shape.
Judging from the design drawings of several designers, it basically conforms to Huang Haojie's ideas.
This newly designed electric car is Pengpai Power, which is expected to launch a new car in the spring of 2017, Pengpai - Elegant.
Pengpai - Elegant, is a typical A-class car, that is, a compact car, with a body of 4.52 meters and a wheelbase of generally 2.46 meters.
The front single motor has a motor power of 120 kilowatts, and the battery pack and the motor are arranged together.
The reason why it is not arranged in the chassis like Tesla or Biyadi is mainly because the Thor battery does not burn and expels heat, and does not need to expand the heat dissipation area to cool down.
The whole thing is a bit similar to the Beetle, but it uses a large number of arcs, which makes people feel softer and cute.
Since it is an A-class car, it looks bigger than the Beetle.
However, the drawings do not look intuitive, so Huang Haojie asked them to start building a one-to-one model.
In addition, after discussing with the three designers, Huang Haojie initially determined some of the surging and elegant configurations.
As an electric car that is positioned as a scooter or an electric car used in the city, it obviously does not need to be too large.
The Thor 1 generation battery, combined with the Pengpai 1 motor, is equivalent to a kilometer of battery per kilometer when fully charged.
Therefore, Pengpai-Elegant, it is only equipped with a 280 kilogram Thor 1 generation battery, and the actual range is about 280 kilometers.
As for the data that low-speed cruising can reach 400 kilometers, Huang Haojie disdains to use it.
Like Tesla, their range benchmark has reached 500 kilometers this year. The problem is that this number will definitely be 30% off, which means that they actually reach up to about 350 kilometers.
It's simply a crooked way. If you don't have real materials, don't mark them out. This is the case with domestic cars.
They all claim to have a range of 400,500 kilometers. The problem is that when they actually run, they shrink and are dying. Especially for car owners in the north, they are just a scam in winter. The performance of lithium batteries plummeted, making consumers miserable.
Therefore, Huang Haojie asked Penguin to use actual battery life and not mislead consumers.
When he came to Thor Battery's laboratory, he saw more than a dozen researchers or engineers testing the battery pack.
These are all battery packs of ten kilograms. They mainly use the experimental method, and the charging speed of 280 kilograms of Thor battery is the most suitable.
"How was the test?" Huang Haojie asked directly.
"Mr. Huang, we have tested more than 100 combinations these days, and these are three of them. We think it is more suitable for combinations. Take a look." An engineer with thick glasses said, while handing a test situation to Huang Haojie.
After taking it, he slowly looked over.
Rapid combination: single battery is 0.5 kg, integrated 560 blocks, filled for 4 minutes at home voltage (220 volts), and filled for 1.3 minutes at a special charging station (500 volts).
Advantages: Fast charging speed.
Disadvantages: The cost per kilogram has increased by about 6 Huayuan, making battery management difficult.
Medium-sized combination: 2 kg single battery, integrated 140 blocks, filled for 16 minutes at home voltage (220 volts), and filled for 5.3 minutes at a special charging station (500 volts).
Advantages: The charging speed is moderate, the cost per kilogram increases by about 1.5 Huayuan, and the battery management difficulty is average.
Disadvantages: Charging is slower.
Low-cost combination: 10 kg single block, 28 blocks integrated, 80 minutes of filling at home voltage (220 volts), and 27 minutes of filling at a special charging station (500 volts).
Advantages: The cost per kilogram increases by about 0.3 Huayuan, making battery management simple.
Disadvantages: Slow charging speed.
After watching it, Huang Haojie frowned, obviously not satisfied with these combinations.
Asked again: "Is there a single kilogram combination?"
The thick glasses engineer quickly took out one of the test reports and handed it to Huang Haojie:
"Mr. Huang, this is a combination of one kilogram per piece."
Huang Haojie took it directly and looked it up.
Quick combination: 1 kg single battery, 280 pieces integrated, 8 minutes of filling at home voltage (220 volts), and 2.7 minutes of filling at a special charging station (500 volts).
Advantages: The charging speed is relatively fast.
Disadvantages: The cost per kilogram has increased by about 4.5 Huayuan, making battery management more difficult.
This is what Huang Haojie wants. After all, Pengpai-Elegant positioning is used in scooters or in the city.
With the Thunder system's increasingly perfect charging station network, what we pursue is fast charging convenience, otherwise how can the charging station make money?
Therefore, the battery must be charged quickly, and fast charging for 2.7 minutes is obviously very suitable.
After all, few people will turn on until they are about to charge. Generally, the remaining 10 to 30 are around, and most people will choose to charge.
Therefore, the charging time of car owners is usually about two minutes, and it takes less than two minutes to smoke a cigarette, and no one will feel impatient.
If you do it for five minutes or something, it is obviously easy to lose patience for the owner.
Huang Haojie calculated and used a 1 kilogram combination, the cost of a 280 kilogram battery is about 8,800 Huayuan.
A domestic gasoline car, including research and development and assembly materials, has a total manufacturing cost of about 50 yuan.
If the engine transmission and other gasoline power system components are removed, just one car shell is almost the same, and the cost is 30 yuan.
So, the cost of an electric car with a cost of 100,000 yuan is 21,000 yuan.
In total, a battery electric car has a shell of 21,000 yuan, a battery of 44,000 yuan, and a motor and electronic control cost 20,000 yuan.
The cost of building an electric car worth 100,000 yuan is 85,000 yuan, which is almost twice the cost of a gasoline car worth 100,000 yuan.
Xinminhui Group released a "New Energy Vehicle Industry Report", which contains the cost allocation ratio data of electric vehicles. This is how it comes from batteries 30 to 45, motor and electronic control 20 to 25, and other parts 20.
It can be seen that if domestic electric vehicles had no policy subsidies, they would have failed long ago.
Of course, the battery cost cannot be so expensive with Thor battery, the battery is 8,800 yuan, and some attached equipment, it is about 10,000 yuan.
Pengpai Motor plus electronic control equipment, about 20,000 yuan.
The chassis and body are about 21,000 yuan.
Then there are other equipment (air conditioning speakers, etc.), about 10,000 yuan.
In other words, the cost of surging - elegant is about 60,000 Huayuan.
After some calculations, Huang Haojie felt that some costs should be added to the body, chassis, and other equipment to make the quality better.
Of course, Pengpai-Elegant, he didn't intend to sell it too cheaply, and the price was estimated to be around 120,000 to 150,000 yuan.
According to Dongtang's latest "2016-2020 New Energy Vehicle Subsidy Standards", pure electric vehicles with a range of more than or equal to 250 kilometers can receive a subsidy of 44,000 yuan.
In this way, Huang Haojie can set the price of Pengpai-Elegant higher, allowing consumers to buy it from 110,000 to 120,000 yuan.
Of course, the final pricing will be discussed after the car is built.
