Chapter 490 Assembly of Super Charging Station
Time flies, and it will soon enter December. According to the arrangement of the Tesla project team, on the 5th, the project team will assemble the first super charging station.

As early as the [-]st, Ma Huafu had notified Zhou Fei of the news, so Zhou Fei arrived in Shencheng on the afternoon of the first day of formal assembly after he had arranged the affairs of the headquarters.

After arriving in Shanghai, Zhou Fei, accompanied by Ma Huafu, inspected the construction of the Tesla Gigafactory.

After several months of hard work, the prototype of the super factory has already begun to take shape. The whole factory will be composed of two parts: the vehicle factory and the battery factory, covering all the core processes of electric vehicle production.

At present, in the factory, the workshops of the vehicle factory and the battery factory have been built. The engineering team is further optimizing the production line and equipment layout in the workshop. It is expected to start laying the production line in January next year.

According to the plan, the entire Gigafactory will be put into use in May next year, and Tesla's two cars will be officially released in June.Judging from the current situation, this point in time is completely achievable.

"According to Mr. Zhou's request, all the batteries in the factory are produced in an integrated manner. We have also negotiated with the suppliers of battery components. They will cooperate with us in the supply of parts and components. After adopting such an integrated production, the entire The cost of batteries will be reduced by about 35%.”

Ma Huafu introduced while walking.

The cost of batteries is the most critical factor affecting the price of electric vehicles. As long as the cost of batteries can be controlled, the cost of electric vehicles will naturally be controlled.

"What about the partners of the charging station?" Zhou Fei continued to ask.

The core of electric vehicles lies in "electricity". Around the core of "electricity", it mainly includes two aspects, one is the battery, and the other is the charging station. Both are indispensable.

"At present, there are as many as 18 partners that have been negotiated, including the largest real estate company in China, Kodak Real Estate, the operator's mobile communications, and several brand hotels. In addition to these already negotiated partners, we are currently in contact with at least ten more. At home, after the assembly of charging stations this time is completed, in the next stage, we plan to lay a large-scale charging network across the country."

Ma Huafu replied quickly.

"Okay, well done." Zhou Fei nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Is everything ready for tomorrow's charging station assembly?"

"It's all ready. People from the municipal government and the power department will come to the scene to assist us." Ma Huafu nodded.

After turning around, Zhou Fei and others left the super factory, waiting for the assembly of the first super charging station tomorrow.

On the second day, on December 12th, the assembly of Tesla's first super charging station was grandly kicked off in the parking lot on the right side of Tesla's headquarters.

At this time, there is an open space in the parking lot, where various tools and equipment required for the installation of the charging station are placed, including members of the project team such as Tian Hongde, as well as staff from the municipal, water and electricity departments, all gathered here, preparing for the first installation of super charging stations.

According to the design of the project team, each charging station will contain multiple charging piles. The number of charging piles varies from five to ten depending on the situation, but the minimum is five.The charging station installed this time includes ten charging piles, which can satisfy ten Tesla electric vehicles for charging at the same time.

In the short term, it is impossible for electric vehicles to fully replace traditional vehicles, so the problem of insufficient charging piles will definitely be resolved with the advancement of technology. What Mercedes-Benz has to do now is to let electric vehicles enter people's field of vision Among them, someone has to set a precedent.

On the ground, the chargers, batteries, power distribution systems and other devices used for installation have been placed there in different categories. Each charging pile will have an independent power distribution system, and the entire charging station will have a general power distribution system. , so that a problem with one of the charging piles will not affect the use of the other charging piles, unless there is a problem with the overall power distribution system.

In addition, each charging pile is also equipped with an inspection device, which will regularly overhaul the entire charging system. These auxiliary functions such as the pricing system are integrated into the same device to facilitate the self-management of the charging station.

Under the guidance of Tian Hong, the on-site installation work has already started. With the cooperation of the water and electricity department, the chargers, batteries and other devices have been installed in fixed positions one by one, and the parts that were originally in bulk have gradually become A whole.

The installation of the first charging pile was almost all done by Tian Hong himself, while several other Feichi staff watched and studied from the sidelines, because they will be responsible for the technical guidance of the installation of the remaining charging stations.

Due to the on-site teaching, the installation process of the first charging pile was relatively slow, and it took more than an hour to complete all the assembly work.

"Next, use this instrument to test the charging pile. If these indicators are all green, it means that there is no problem with the installation of the charging pile. If any indicator light turns red, it means that the function is not normal and further work is required. Overhaul." Tian Hong raised the testing instrument in his hand and said while demonstrating.

When Tian Hong inserted the detection instrument into the charging pile, all the indicator lights turned green, which means that the installation just now was successful!
After the test, Tian Hong tested the charging capacity of the charging pile and charged a battery pack on the spot, and everything was normal!
"The following installation is up to you. If you have any questions, please ask me in time. Remember, you must install them in order." After finishing all the work on the first charging pile, Tian Hong ordered.

For the specific installation process, Tian Hong has written a detailed installation manual with the members of the battery pack, plus the on-site teaching just now, as long as you install a few by yourself, there will be no problem.

"I see that there are many components in the current charging station. Can you find a way to integrate some components together to optimize the installation of the entire charging station?"

Zhou Fei said to Tian Hong who was on the side.

"We are also considering this issue, but we can't make a breakthrough in a short period of time, but we will continue to work hard." Tian Hong replied hastily.

After getting Tian Hong's reply, Zhou Fei didn't say anything more, but quietly looked ahead, waiting for the assembly of the rest of the charging piles to be completed.

Arita Hiroshi and others were on the side to guide. With the joint efforts of everyone, the charging piles were assembled one by one, and the speed of assembly was getting faster and faster, and the scale of the charging station was naturally getting bigger and bigger.

After nearly two hours of unremitting efforts, the assembly of Tesla's first super charging station and a total of ten charging piles has finally come to an end!
