Chapter 8 Thor Electric Vehicle
The first Thor electric vehicle that just came off the production line.
It looks similar to the little turtle electric car on the market.
Except for the battery, other configurations are similar, such as front and rear disc brake vacuum tires.
Electric vehicles of various companies on the market are similar, and no one can avoid this.
Of course, Huang Haojie is still a little innovative, that is, he has installed a data cable charging socket.
Huang Haojie looked at the silver-gray Thor lx1 electric car in front of him and ordered Guo Dele on the side:
"Pull it to the test site and try it."
Guo Dele quickly and three workers pushed the electric car out to the test site.
After a while, the Thor lx1 electric car was pushed onto a test machine similar to a treadmill.
This machine is mainly used for testing, speed, range, and usage time.
The zizi Thunder lx1 electric car is running fast on the machine.
Huang Haojie looked at the empty car testing, which was a bit self-deception and quickly said:
"Stop!"
"Mr. Huang, what's wrong? There's no problem with the car!" Guo Dele said quickly.
Huang Haojie looked at the people with a puzzled look and pointed at the electric car and said:
"Do you think the data tested in this way are true?"
"Mr. Huang, other electric vehicle manufacturers also tested this way. Is there any problem?" Guo Dele asked in confusion.
He used to work in Xingdazhou, but later he was dug up by Huagao's boss. Now he followed the electric vehicle production line to serve as the factory director of the Thunder Electric Vehicle Factory, so he knew that all electric vehicle factories did this.
Huang Haojie shook his head and said, "It used to be the past, now now, I followed my rules, put ten kilograms of debris into the seat box, and then went up alone."
Guo Dele and others looked at each other. Obviously, the data obtained by doing this test was true, but it would probably be terrible.
After all, the production of the battery factory is confidential. Except for the battery factory directors Zhou Hailin and Huang Haojie, no one knows the real situation of the Thor generation battery. Even the workers in charge of the production are still confused.
After all, all links are separated, and the catalyst and some specific values are fuzzy codes, such as catalyst No. 1 and catalyst No. 2, such as voltage, they just press the button just by pressing the button in a fool.
The risk of leaks has been minimized by Huang Haojie.
Therefore, people from electric vehicle manufacturers such as Guo Dele didn't know the energy density of Thor's generation batteries at all.
But who is Huang Haojie the boss? Anyway, the data tested at that time are not good-looking, and the boss is also the one who slapped in the face.
He quickly arranged for workers to put ten kilograms of debris into the seat box, and then asked a worker to go up and take the electric car.
Sizzling
This time Huang Haojie looked more comfortable.
Due to the limitations of electric vehicle motors, the maximum speed of Thor electric vehicles is 50 km/h.
"Mr. Huang, this test is probably only about 30 kilometers." Guo Dele reminded, so as not to lose his face when the boss's face is lost.
Of course, Huang Haojie knew what Guo Dele meant, mainly because there are currently false labels for electric vehicles.
Domestic electric vehicles mainly use lead-acid batteries. For example, Yadi Tai Zero Aimaxing Dazhou Green Energy, etc., all use lead-acid batteries. Their electric vehicles have mileage of about 50 to 60 kilometers, but in fact they are only about 30 to 40 kilometers.
Even the Daniu electric vehicle using 18650 lithium batteries has a mileage of 100 kilometers, but in fact it is only about 70 to 80 kilometers.
After all, they test in an ideal environment, and the data is of course high. The question is whether the consumer's usage environment can be compared with the ideal environment? Obviously, the two are different.
Therefore, people often reveal that a certain electric vehicle has a standard mileage of 100 kilometers, but in fact, it takes 70 kilometers to stop after driving.
In fact, Guo Dele and others were also puzzled by their own batteries.
Because this battery is not like a lithium battery, nor is it a lead-acid battery. It is hard like an iron block, just ten kilograms per piece. Can it really support electric vehicles to travel 30 kilometers? He couldn't help but ask a question mark.
As far as he knows, Daniu electric vehicles generally weigh about 12 kilograms and cost about 2,200 yuan.
The cost of his own Thor battery is about 270 yuan for ten kilograms. The cost gap has reached 8 times. It is not a parallel product, right? Guo Dele thought about it worriedly.
However, as time passed by minute by minute, Guo Dele couldn't help but wiped his eyes and looked at his watch.
I quickly checked the test machine again, but the test machine was not broken either.
But more than an hour had passed, and he looked at the odometer of the test machine at 65 kilometers, and it was still increasing.
This battery is almost up to the lithium battery.
With Guo Dele and others stunned, the odometer of the test machine was constantly refreshing.
70 km
75 km
80 km
85 km
The final odometer figure stays at 91.46 kilometers.
Guo Dele was already numb. For the first time, he felt that the world suddenly became unreal.
"President Huang Huang! We're rich!" Suddenly, Guo Dele shouted excitedly.
After all, Huang Haojie can promise that he can do well and that 10% of the factory's income will be paid as employee dividends in the future. Guo Dele did not expect anything, after all, the profits of electric vehicle manufacturers are really not high these days.
For example, Yadi electric vehicles, the cost of producing an m2 electric vehicle is around 2,500 yuan, and the retail price is around 3,200 yuan. It seems that there is still 700 yuan in the middle. In fact, retailers will occupy about 300 yuan, and one car will make less than 400 yuan. Don’t forget to pay taxes and R&D expenses. With production line depreciation, there is really not much money to make.
Take Yadi Company as an example. In 2015, their company sold about 3.3 million electric vehicles, with a total revenue of about 6.4 billion Huayuan. Do you know what their net profit is? 370 million Huayuan. You can read that correctly, it is 370 million Huayuan.
The net profit of each electric car is about 110 CNY.
What is this? Yadi is currently the number one electric vehicle company in China, with profits accounting for about 24 of the domestic electric vehicle industry, which means that the total profit of the domestic electric vehicle industry in 2015 was around 1.5 billion Huayuan.
Such profits are very low, that is, large electric vehicle manufacturers can make small profits and make quick turnovers. Other small and medium-sized electric vehicle manufacturers are either in losses or on the road to losses, otherwise they can only use tricks to cut corners.
That's why Guo Dele felt that they were going to get rich.
After all, Daniu electric car is sold for 5,400 to 5,800 yuan per car.
Although their Thor electric car, although it looks average, has a real 90 kilometers range, it is not an exaggeration for me to sell 4,000 Chinese yuan!
So how much is the cost of Thunder Electric Vehicle? 2,000 Huayuan. This is because their factory does not produce on a large scale, resulting in a slightly inflated cost. Once the scale increases, he is confident that he will press the cost to between 1,800 and 1,900 Huayuan.
In other words, for each electric car produced by their factory, they can earn at least 2,000 yuan, and the profit is 100%.
"Test the charging speed and other performance of the car. In addition, take a few more cars to test. Not only should you test it on the test machine, but you should also take a walk on the ground, and then combine the data." Huang Haojie was not careless and hurriedly ordered Guo Dele.
Guo Dele quickly put away his excitement. He knew that one really couldn't represent everything, so he started to pick three more out of the Thor electric car that came down from the production line.
Huang Haojie accompanied Guo Dele and others to conduct a intensive test for two days.
Thor lx1 electric car has a range of 85 to 90 kilometers and a charging time of about 80 minutes.
Battery service life: The energy density is still 100 if it can be charged for more than 1500 times. The energy density is reduced to about 80 if it can be charged for 1500 to 2000 times. The energy density is reduced to about 50 if it can be charged for 2000 to 2500 times. After that, Huang Haojie did not let the test.
After all, it is 100 within 1500 times. What is the concept of 1500 lossless charging? Even if consumers charge once a day, they can use it for nearly five years. What's more, few consumers charge once a day, and most of them charge once a day. That is to say, the service life of Thor's first-generation batteries is between 5 and 15 years.
Maybe all the cars are scrapped by then and the batteries are still intact.
Inside an office at Thor Electric Vehicle Factory.
Huang Haojie, General Manager of Galaxy Technology Li Jianhua, Zhou Hailin, Director of Thunder Battery Factory, Guo Dele, Director of Thunder Electric Vehicle Factory, is gathering together.
"Ahem, I'll go straight to the point. Let's talk about how much the price of Thor electric car is appropriate?" Huang Haojie asked.
Guo Dele first spoke, "Boss, I think it's more suitable to sell 4,000 Huayuan."
"Will 4000 be discouraged by consumers!" Li Jianhua felt that the price was too high.
"No, I think 5,000 is our true strength." Zhou Hailin is a Thor battery manufacturer, so of course he knows the quality of the battery produced in his factory.
"It's not OK if it's too high, so let's do it! Let's first position Thor lx1 as a low-end product produced by our company, with a price of 3,333 Huayuan. After all, we will definitely launch mid-to-high-end products in the future. If it costs four or five thousand yuan now, will the high-end be sold for tens of thousands?
In addition, now we must collect funds as soon as possible to avoid breaking the capital chain." Huang Haojie said.
Papa! The three of them quickly applauded.
"Boss! We are going to unify the electric vehicle industry!" Guo Dele knew that this price and performance could directly make all electric vehicle products on the market lose their competitiveness.
Zhou Hailin and Li Jianhua also smiled at each other. They knew that as long as domestic battery companies do not have huge innovations, major electric vehicle companies will undoubtedly die. This is just a matter of time.
The cost of Daniu electric vehicles is a fatal flaw. Electric vehicle manufacturers such as Yad and YD have insufficient performance and the price difference is not large. As long as consumers are not fools, they know who to choose.
