Chapter 437 Tesla

So far, in the long history of human development, there have been two revolutions in transportation, energy and power systems, and each revolution has brought about great changes in people's production and life, and has also achieved leading countries. or regional economic take-off.

The first change was actually the first industrial revolution. The steam engine and coal greatly improved the productivity of human society, ushered in a new era of human industrial economy and industrial civilization, and made European countries the world's economic powers at that time.

The second transformation of the power system was mainly marked by oil and internal combustion engines, which transformed the world's economic structure from light industry to heavy industry. Material prosperity.

After decades of development, now, with the gradual depletion of oil resources, mankind has once again come to the crossroads of the transformation of transportation energy power systems, and this time, electricity and power batteries will replace oil and internal combustion engines, bringing mankind Enter an era of clean energy!

Zhou Fei failed to catch up with the first two reforms, so he could only catch up with others. Now that the third energy structure reform is about to start, Zhou Fei should not passively accept it. This time, he must take the initiative Go hug!
"It's not that electric vehicles are bad, but the key technology of electric vehicles has not been solved yet, and the battery life is very average. Even if we want to launch such a car, will consumers be willing to buy it?" Zhang Xiang said worriedly.

Battery life can be said to be one of the core indicators of electric vehicles. At present, the world’s highest battery life record is less than 100 kilometers. If such a problem cannot be solved, no consumer will be willing to pay for it. Pay for the electric car.

"I can solve the problem of battery life. It can keep the mileage of electric vehicles at about 500 kilometers, and it will be even higher in the future. Do you think this kind of battery can do it?" Zhou Fei said with a smile.

The well-known electric car manufacturers in the previous life, whether it is Tesla or Weilai Automobile, generally have a cruising range of about 500 kilometers for their products, which is not difficult for Zhou Fei.

"500 kilometers?" Zhang Xiang couldn't help opening his mouth, but tried to put on a calm look, "President Zhou, do you still know about batteries?"

Frankly speaking, the battery technology has gone beyond the scope of the traditional car system, and it already belongs to the knowledge of chemistry in the big framework. Could it be that Zhou Fei is still a genius across departments?

"Don't worry about whether I understand this knowledge or not. Anyway, I can solve the problem of cruising range. You just need to know this."

"Okay, even if the mileage is solved, what about the subsequent vehicle charging? Traditional vehicles have gas stations, so we can't expect electric vehicle owners to charge themselves at home." Zhang Xiang continued to ask.

If you want to develop electric vehicles, you need the support of the entire system and even the entire country, not just relying on the enthusiasm of one person.

Without solving this series of problems, electric vehicles will always be just a slogan.

"The issue of charging, of course, is to build charging piles, just like the convenient charging piles for electric bicycles. Of course, I have taken into account this series of supporting facilities." Zhou Fei laughed.

All in all, Zhou Fei intends to bring the development theory of electric vehicles from his previous life to this world.

"As for the policy, without the support of the overall environment, we can't do many things as we want, right?" Zhang Xiang gritted his teeth and continued to ask.

Zhou Fei smiled, "I have a way to solve everything you said. As for how to solve it, you just wait and see the result. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Boss Zhou has already said that, if I have anything else I want to ask, Boss Zhou just said, do you need me to do the design?" Zhang Xiang replied with a wry smile.

"It's very simple, it's still market research, focusing on which company is in a leading position in batteries, and whether there are any large-scale electric vehicle manufacturers in the world and how many there are."

"Okay, I got it." Zhang Xiang nodded quickly, this wasn't the first time he had done such a job, and he was already familiar with everything.

"Don't worry too much about this matter. We'll talk about it after the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, let's hold a meeting to discuss it." Zhou Fei added.

There is only one week left before this year's Spring Festival, Zhou Fei just wants to say hello to Zhang Xiang in advance, the specific work arrangement will not be too late to talk about after the festival.

After Zhang Xiang left, Zhou Fei also began to think about how to further implement the strategy of "electrification". For electric vehicles, the biggest obstacle at present is that infrastructure construction and prices affect the process of industrialization. In comparison, electric vehicles need more infrastructure support, and this cannot be solved by one company. It requires all companies to unite and build together with local government departments, so that there will be opportunities for large-scale promotion.

In order to make the electrification strategy have broad prospects in China, the most important thing to solve is the policy issue. The development of electric vehicles in the early stage must be supported by policies, otherwise it will be difficult to form economies of scale.

So lobbying the relevant departments is something Zhou Fei must do.

Second, the development team must also be addressed.

The development of pure electric vehicles requires the cooperation of traditional automotive engineers and battery and computer technicians. Although Zhou Fei can solve the problem of battery cruising range, he can only provide a specific idea, the actual operation process, It needs battery experts to implement it. After all, Zhou Fei is not a genius across disciplines.

After having a development team, the last point is also very important, that is, the construction of supporting infrastructure, especially the establishment of charging stations. For electric vehicles, this is equivalent to the gas station of traditional cars. Without charging stations, The promotion of electric vehicles can only be a slogan.

All of these are problems that need to be solved one by one after the Zhoufei Festival. Among them, the policy and infrastructure are essentially the same problem. solved.

Finally, Zhou Fei is least worried about the development of electric vehicles, because there are too many brands he can learn from. Among other things, several leading electric vehicle manufacturers, such as the United States China's Tesla, domestic Weilai Automobile, Xiaopeng Automobile, etc., are all electric vehicle companies with very mature technologies.

In addition to these new car manufacturers, many traditional car manufacturers have gone deep on the road of electrification, such as BYD, and even BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Zhou Fei has too many brands to choose from. .

However, if Zhou Fei had to choose one, the one he likes the most is Tesla!
