Reborn 80s

Nearly a hundred years have passed since the era when electric vehicles were the third major means of transportation for mankind after horse-drawn carriages.

Since their failure in market competition, electric vehicles have never entered the center stage of history in the past few decades.

Even though there are still research institutions studying electric vehicles, they are still in the research stage, and large-scale applications have not yet been realized.

The 1980 Olympic Games were held in the former Union. In order to show its social and technological advancedness to the world, the former Union developed a pure electric car, Lada 2801.

This is a model with only 50 units produced. It uses a 380-kg nickel-zinc battery pack as the energy source and is powered by a 35-horsepower electric motor. It can reach a top speed of 90 kilometers per hour and has a cruising range of 130 kilometers on a single charge.

Although the former alliance approved the continued development of electric vehicles, this was only a document-based approval.

Without a market for products, any company will have no motivation to continue.

In the past few decades, electric vehicles have not been taken seriously, and naturally there has not been any major development in technology.

Mainly in the past few decades, internal combustion vehicles have been in an era of rapid development, and there is simply no room for the development of electric vehicles.

Normally, until the petroleum resources are exhausted, the status of fuel vehicles as the main source of power for human transportation will not be shaken.

Again, demand determines supply!

The continuous oil crisis and the increasing environmental awareness around the world have made people increasingly need a means of transportation that can replace fuel vehicles.

That is the so-called new energy vehicle!
There are quite a few schools, or technical routes, of new energy vehicles.

Including pure electric, extended range electric, hybrid, fuel cell electric, hydrogen engine, etc.

Hybrid cars on the market now are relatively mainstream.

In terms of hybrid technology, Neon's two car companies are the most technologically advanced.

In this regard, Mota Auto is naturally not to be outdone and is developing actively.

In the field of pure electric vehicles, Motta Motors is now in a global leading position.

As for fuel cells...

This has a bit of a black technology meaning, and at the moment, it is a bit difficult to implement in the market.

Or it may be difficult to land for a long time.

Mota Power is engaged in the research and development of hydrogen engines and has applied for a lot of patents.

However, there are safety issues with hydrogen fuel.

People don’t even feel safe with natural gas tanks, let alone hydrogen fuel tanks.

The safety of gas tanks is still guaranteed. As long as they are used according to safe use requirements, there will basically be no problems.

But I can't stand the constant news of gas tank explosions.

Everyone knows very well that it is indeed safe to follow the safe use requirements.

But who can guarantee that they can do what is required 100% of the time?
Another point, if there is a car accident...

The gas tank was hit hard...

When a fuel truck is hit, it is rare to say that it explodes directly.

Anyway, choosing electric vehicles for development is a very realistic choice!
Pure electric vehicles are still a new technology today, and many technologies are newly developed.

Including power batteries, new technology motors, the entire vehicle control system, etc.

New technology also means that there are quite a few imperfections.

It will take a long time to perfect, and there is a long way to go.

Especially for power batteries, battery energy density must be continuously improved.It would be best to develop a super battery, and the cost must be low.

High energy density, low cost, fast charging, powerful discharge...

In the office, several CEOs of Mota Holdings were present.

Chen Huaiqing closed the documents in his hand and looked at the few people: "Do you all know about the rise in oil prices?"

Song Qi sat with her legs crossed, a notebook on her lap.

Now Chen Huaiqing dislikes holding meetings more and more. If something happens, he just calls a few senior executives of the company to hold a simple meeting and decide the matter.

"Compared with the stable oil prices for 03 years before 20, the current oil prices have entered a turbulent era. It is foreseeable that international oil prices will continue to rise. As for when the end will be..."

Chen Huaiqing: "The next economic crisis breaks out and the international market's demand for crude oil drops, and oil prices will fall."

Will the next economic crisis come?

One thing is for sure, it definitely will.

when will you arrive?

Now the entire world, except for Chen Huaiqing's knowledge, is probably not sure.

In fact, Chen Huaiqing is somewhat unsure now.

As a butterfly, Chen Huaiqing has undoubtedly made a lot of changes to the world.

Therefore, he is not sure when the subprime mortgage crisis will break out.

Chen Huaiqing is certain of one thing, that is, once housing prices in North America stop rising, the game of beating the drum and passing the flowers will come to an end.

The world will be like dominoes. If one card falls, all of them will fall.

"Since the early 90s, we have been a net oil importer for more than ten years. Now, more than [-] million tons of oil we use every year need to be imported."

This year, due to the rise in international oil prices and the increase in domestic oil production, overseas oil imports have declined.

At this time, domestic oil prices and international oil prices are inverted.

In other words, domestic oil prices are cheaper than international oil prices, and they are still much cheaper.

Several major domestic oil companies are now becoming more and more urgent about oil price reform.

Moreover, car sales are increasing dramatically every year. The annual sales volume of the domestic car market reaches tens of millions, which can be achieved in a few years.

"Although our country ranks among the top in the world in terms of oil production, we are highly dependent on foreign oil. Among the world's major countries, our energy security situation is the least optimistic."

As the top executives of Mota Holdings, they naturally felt the vague suppression coming from the outside world.

The reason why the fire stick is not explained is that at this time, a certain country still feels that it is very good and is the world's largest country, with the ability and strength to deal with all challenges.

To put it bluntly, I am still very confident!

Faced with the same thing, confident and unconfident people will make completely different choices.

"The development of new energy vehicles is not only because of environmental protection, but also because of our energy security."

"In the future automobile market, fuel vehicles will not disappear in a short time, and will still occupy the mainstream market for a long time."

"However, as technology advances, electric vehicles will inevitably occupy more and more markets."

"I took a look at NaVI's situation, and it's not going well right now."

It is normal that the company is not developing well. Mota Auto's main focus is still on fuel vehicles.
