Today I went to the gas station and saw 92, 95, 98.
Tomorrow, it may become 52, 76, 100.
One
6.5 million "electric daddy" car owners who are anxious about battery life have finally been saved!
On December 7, Sinopec Guangzhou Jinlong Gas Station was redesigned and upgraded, which is the 1,000th charging and replacing power station and photovoltaic power station completed and put into operation by Sinopec.
In this gas station, refueling traditional fuel vehicles is a side business, and the main business is to charge electric vehicles and replace batteries, which is so efficient that countless car owners boil for it:
The charging power of a single pile reached a staggering 450 kilowatts, achieving the feat of "charging for 5 minutes and lasting 200 kilometers", which is nearly double that of Tesla's 250-kilowatt supercharger.
The power exchange device in the station can automatically replace the battery for 10 cars at the same time, and in less than 5 minutes, the electric vehicle can be revived with full blood.
Sinopec, a giant that relied on the rise of the era of traditional fuel vehicles, took the initiative to cut off the fuel dispensers that he had relied on for decades and turned to the rolling torrent of new energy.
One era is over, another is over!
Two
Sinopec's self-revolution is more brutal than imagined.
Once upon a time, car owners who were driven crazy by the battery life of electric dads almost had such a dream: to move Tesla supercharger piles into gas stations across the country to achieve charging anytime, anywhere.
Now, that dream has finally landed quickly.
In April this year, the chairman of Sinopec officially announced that by 2025, at least 5,000 intelligent charging and replacement power stations will be built.
What is this concept?
It should be known that Sinopec has more than 30,000 gas stations in the country, which is equivalent to 1/6 of which will be transformed into a new type of gas station of "oil and electricity integration", which will completely eliminate the mileage anxiety of new energy vehicles and will soon become a reality.
Not long ago, Weilai, the leader of the new domestic car manufacturing force, officially reached a strategic cooperation with Sinopec, and the boss Li Bin personally experienced a smart power exchange, which was extremely exciting.
Li Bin drove his Weilai ES8 to the Sinopec gas station, he clicked the button on the screen, and the car began to automatically advance, hit the direction, and reverse until the car was firmly parked in the designated position of the replacement power station.
It's pretty much like this:
1. The vehicle automatically stops and enters the position
2. There is no need to get off the car throughout the whole process, and the battery is replaced automatically
3. Complete the power change and drive away
The whole process takes only about 3 minutes, if it is charged, the electric vehicle will be replenished with a range of 200 kilometers, which is almost the same as the time it takes to fill the fuel car.
Such a convenient and intelligent replacement power station can only give Weilai power exchange?
Of course not, Sinopec's ambition is to make all electric vehicles easy to charge at gas stations and freely replace batteries.
First, these developed areas, including highways, were gradually expanded to other cities.
This day is really coming, which is equivalent to a fatal blow to traditional fuel vehicle manufacturers!
Three
However, if Sinopec wants to achieve this goal, it will not be easy.
The biggest problem is that the battery standard is not uniform!
Today's new energy vehicle manufacturers are still fighting their own battles, although there are only a few battery manufacturers, but car companies will basically do customized procurement according to their own models, sites and internal structures, and battery manufacturers and battery specifications are not standardized, which is the biggest obstacle in front of Sinopec.
In addition to Sinopec and Weilai, Aodong New Energy, which ranks first in the country in terms of substations, announced that it will complete the construction target of 10,000 charging and replacing power stations within 5 years, and some stations will be set up at Sinopec gas stations.
At the same time, GCL Energy also proposed a plan to build 6,000 substations during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period to serve 500,000 electric vehicle owners...
These forces constitute the backbone of the bottom-up use of large-scale collapse standardization, car companies do not change, pressure from the market and users, naturally let them see the situation.
In the era of accelerated arrival of the new energy wave, the state will not sit idly by.
While various localities are scrambling to introduce a model to encourage new energy vehicles to change electricity, the state is also joining hands with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to gradually implement relevant standards.
In November this year, the national standard of "Electric Vehicle Charging and Replacing Safety Requirements" was officially implemented, becoming the first general national standard in China's power exchange industry, formulating unified standards for the mechanical strength, electrical safety, environmental adaptability and other aspects of electric vehicle batteries, and firing the first shot from top to bottom to completely sweep away the problem of different charging and replacing standards.
When these problems are solved one by one, the traditional fuel vehicles will have the biggest advantage of hanging the endurance of new energy vehicles with gas stations everywhere.

Sinopec, a long-misunderstood giant state-owned company, is playing a crucial role in two very different trends of the times.
Perennially dominating the top ten of the world's top 500, Sinopec relies not only on the number of gas stations, they have the largest number of convenience stores in the country.
There is also the soft power that is not inferior to Huawei in terms of patented technology.
In the final analysis, the courage to survive with broken arms, the ability to keep pace with the times and embrace the wave of innovation is the key to Sinopec's ability to seize the huge opportunity in its hands.
The first batch of cross-border production masks was him, not only selling vegetables at gas stations, but also entering the coffee market when Luckin and Starbucks were playing a difficult game a few years ago, and using their own advantages to open coffee shops all over the country.
Nowadays, Sinopec does not play cards according to the routine, decisively abandons the golden rice bowl of refueling, and frees up a large number of tankers to change the power station, which is not only a hero's broken wrist, but also a divine stroke of a desperate situation, which is worthy of everyone's praise.
If one day, when you go to the gas station, you will no longer see "92, 95, 98", but "52, 76, 100", don't be surprised, that is the capacity of Sinopec's rechargeable battery.
This is exactly what it is: prophetic operators, hindsight followers, unconscious consumers!
