Akio Toyoda has publicly criticized the environmental protection of electric vehicles many times, and although he has now bowed his head for the market, his views are not unreasonable. Thermal power generation is still the main force, and the energy supply structure still needs to be optimized.
Why talk about this topic? Because some of the new forces of the car company bigwigs, made some remarks. Not long ago, Li Bin of Weilai Automobile publicly said: Nostalgia will buy oil trucks, except for smelling some gasoline, there is nothing good.
Recently, Shen Hui of WM Motors also expressed his views on Weibo, saying that the internal combustion engine cannot meet the low-carbon demand, the car has entered the next era, and the tram has the pleasure that the oil car cannot give.
Although what Shen Hui said was not entirely unreasonable, nor was it as extreme as Li Bin,there were also some misunderstandings in the guiding words and some misunderstandings that Brother Cha personally believed. Let's think, why did they say these things publicly?
Want to sell more trams
As an entrepreneur, it is understandable to make more money in business, but to achieve the goal by "degrading" fuel vehicles is to make people feel a little "uncomfortable".
Looking back at the past November, although new energy vehicles have reached 378,000 market retail sales, compared with the number of more than 1.4 million traditional fuel vehicles, it cannot become the mainstream, and these 378,000 vehicles also include plug-in hybrid, program power and other models.
Therefore, The words of Li Bin of Weilai Automobile are not a kind of meaning of "others laugh at me too crazy", but the reality is that most people are still more willing to choose fuel vehicles, and they are obviously not for nostalgia.
It seems that these new domestic brands like to imitate Tesla, play the founder's marketing routine, and drive and influence consumers through some of their own remarks, but it is clear that Li Bin and Shen Hui are too obvious to step on a bunch, and the purpose is only to let more people buy trams. Compared with Musk's level, it is far behind.
Trams are the future, but not the present
Tea Brother has analyzed electric vehicles and topics such as carbon neutrality and energy more than once, and there is no doubt that electric vehicles are feasible development directions, but they cannot become mainstream at this stage.
The reason seems to be understood by everyone on the surface, such as the lack of general endurance; the construction of charging facilities is not extensive enough; charging efficiency and safety issues are not properly solved.
In the deeper sense, electric vehicles cannot completely replace fuel vehicles in the short term. In addition to the failure of the energy supply level itself to be carbon neutral, the large-scale elimination of fuel vehicles will bring waste of resources and disposal problems, which is extremely environmentally friendly. To put it simply, if you really want to be low-carbon, then the coverage of the tram must be slow!
Are oil cars really inferior to trams?
Finally, The tea brother wants to be more realistic, for the so-called tram start response, power smoothness and NVH, is the oil car can not give fun, we have a completely different opinion.
Although the above mentioned is indeed the advantages and advantages of trams, they are not equated with fun. On the contrary, it is precisely because these parts happen to be places where the gas car has less natural advantages that we are fascinated and pursue it.
A fuel car that gives you passion at the beginning, accompanied by exhaust sound waves, will replace you into a fast world; a gas car that adjusts the gearbox logic and power response to the extreme, every operation of yours, it knows how to bring timely feedback; a quiet and comfortable oil car after getting on the car is like a world away, which is a quiet space carefully designed by engineers for you.
It is because the oil truck wants to achieve this, it needs more energy, thought and cost, we will be fascinated. Although the car is a rational product of the modern machinery industry, we have given it many emotional parts, perhaps because the oil truck has accompanied our life for nearly a hundred years.
Write at the end
The next era is coming, we can actively try various types of plug-in, oil-blended and extended-range power, you can also boldly embrace pure electric cars, but please do not deny the oil vehicles, they are not only a little value, but the mainstay of the current car travel.
