At some point, the giants of the automotive industry stopped touting their own products and began to engage in the "oil and electricity confrontation" remarks.
In the thirty years of automotive product transformation, people have gone from conservative to learn to accept, and then to fierce collisions, the continuous change of cognition and concept of electric vehicles has also greatly strengthened the radical degree of speech. The giants are stressing that fuel products are already behind the times, electric vehicles will be the most perfect means of transportation for people, and they can't smell the "bad smell of gasoline"...
In the eyes of internal combustion engine fans, such talk about the "oil-electricity confrontation" will inevitably cause a lot of verbal confrontation, but the progress of electrification will not be stopped by such opponents, but will get more attention. And we pay more attention to the sentence in front of this big guy: "Now it is still said that the anxiety of power is basically the heart of the gasoline car to operate the electric car." ”
On December 25 and 26, CCTV Finance and CCTV Network have reported the news of "new energy winter charging difficulties", reporting that some car owners need to queue up at 4 a.m. to charge, and the faster replacement power station has been lined up from morning to afternoon, and the entire painting style has not been as the industry giant said, there is no anxiety. Instead, it is full of anxiety...
If winter leads to a shortened mileage, it is better to say that in the link of refueling, the "cold winter" of electric vehicle products has always existed.
The problem of charging piles is complex and changeable, and the construction of infrastructure has a long way to go
Based on the survey of a large number of electric vehicle users, at present, with the rapid increase of electric vehicle products, there is a serious uneven distribution in the layout of charging pile resources. According to the "Development Status and Trend of China's High-voltage Charging Piles" journal data, China's high-voltage charging facilities are currently only about 100,000 units, which is obviously incompatible with the current million-output new energy automobile industry, and the statistics also include a part of the high-voltage charging bus places, which remain closed to the public, so the state of high-voltage charging piles in short supply will continue for a long time.
Not only that, the current mainstream traditional new energy vehicle brands, such as Porsche, Audi, Hyundai, BYD, etc., the latest electric products are from the high-voltage platform, and more high-voltage charging piles are needed to match it. It is conservatively estimated that by 2025, the sales volume of new energy vehicles will account for 20%, corresponding to new energy vehicles with annual sales of about 5 million. Such a large amount of new energy market corresponds to the charging pile supporting facilities that far exceed people's imagination.
New charging piles need to be built quickly, and the old ones are also in a lot of condition. Presumably, users who have charged public charging piles in Beijing will have the following feelings, that is, the few charging piles always have so few that cannot be used, whether it is the inability to charge after the gun is inserted, or the failure to start after opening the payment, and then there is no support for related products at all, there will always be various problems, and this situation also appears in the charging place of the service area of a higher highway section. Fundamentally, it is not an easy task to find a suitable charging place, and then to find a suitable charging pile, and finally to successfully complete a charge.
Charging piles are mainly composed of piles, electrical modules, metering modules and other parts, but at present, the country does not have a definition and standard for the power quality of charging piles, and there are often imbalances, flashes, fluctuations, etc., and some non-mainstream charging piles on the market also have many problems in intelligent interaction, including the lack of payment methods, etc. How to ensure the quality and maintenance of charging piles is also an aspect that needs to be paid attention to in future development.
To recharge a battery, you have to download an APP, and you can't pay without recharging
If you want to charge, there is another step that many users are very headache, that is, a wide variety of intelligent switching charging APP. To sum up, there are now more special calls, e-charging, state grid, star charging, Anyue charging, etc. on the market, and these APPS have their own highlights and slots.
Each time the charging pile brand is different, corresponding to it, it is necessary to download the relevant APP once, and before charging, it is necessary to make a pre-recharge to complete the payment. At present, the faster mini program search, part of the APP is supported, some or to download the APP to complete the charging.
To put it simply, there are many types of charging APP, can not achieve unified standards, often have to download multiple charging APP, payment can not be carried out directly through fast payment, or need to store value in the APP for payment, too much stored value will also make users have no refund worries, so that many users spit on the current charging pile APP is mixed.
The cost of the power exchange mode is large, and the operational pressure in the later stage is gradually highlighted
As a good way to solve the charging efficiency, the power exchange mode is currently a method of energy replenishment that many people are more optimistic about. In terms of actual promotion, the current operation of vehicle replacement power station occupies a large part, the private car field is relatively large-scale of Weilai, other brands in the field of private travel have not achieved large-scale power station construction.
In the "Reflections on the Power Exchange Model of China's New Energy Automobile Industry Development", several major problems existing in the current substation are clearly proposed, including large investment in early station construction, imperfect technical standards, multi-party game and interest entanglement, etc. In the early days, Israel BetterPlace and The United States Tesla have tried the power exchange model, but they all ended in failure.
Another limitation lies in the operational pressure in the later stage. A substation, including land leasing and power exchange equipment, operating personnel of various capital investment, the total distribution power of the power station is about 1200 kW, the total investment cost of up to 6 million yuan, from the cost point of view, is about 10 times the charging station. On the other hand, electricity prices vary from region to region, and there are no subsidies for electricity exchange infrastructure and operations. From the actual situation, Beijing Aodong, which is involved in the field of power exchange, is also in a state of continuous loss, without the support of a strong capital chain, it is difficult to operate for a long time.
How far is the vision of electrification still far behind?
For the topic of "oil and electricity confrontation", its emergence is not unexpected, with the electric vehicle in the context of the gradual expansion of the topic influence, this kind of "stepping on one and holding one" remarks is only exaggerated some subjective expressions. In fact, in the urban use scenario, the tram has many fuel products can not match the advantages, in the future direction of intelligent driving, pure electric products to expand the space is also more broad, and these still have to be built in a good energy environment.
Although the charging facilities have been greatly improved in recent years, another variable is also rising rapidly, that is, the sales of pure electrical products. The contradiction between charging and battery life anxiety always exists, only because of product advantages, ignoring the limitations of ordinary users in the use scenario, from any point of view, it is not a beautiful vision of electrification in the way of travel.
Oil car users are indeed in the heart of electric vehicles, pure electric facilities are not perfect, may not really let fuel vehicle users rest assured to use pure electric products, after all, in this speech amplification market, what you hear is not necessarily the most idealized, but the most stimulating expression of your feelings, so don't let people "kill" electric vehicles.
