In 2021, there are many interesting things related to "cars", such as famous brand spokespersons have successively "overturned", an Internet celebrity frequently "buys a car" for the platform of car companies, and the interaction group CP between car companies and so on. This week, after a series of inventory articles of Chexun Network were issued, it received a strong response from netizens. It is also coincidental that at the end of 2021, Huawei, which has been swearing to "not build cars", launched the AITO Q&A M5, and Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of consumer business, and CEO of smart car solution BU, threw down a bold statement: Our car is comparable to a million luxury cars, and the mileage is seconds to kill a number of pure trams! As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted ridicule from the netizen group.
In fact, there is no shortage of "amazing words" in the car circle, especially after the so-called "new forces" have appeared, and they are not surprising! Just at the end of 2021, in the past few days, some people "can't stand loneliness".
On December 21, Li Bin, founder and chairman of NIO Motor, delivered a speech on "BBA should be changed to NBA" at NIO DAY 2021, and said: "I can't understand why everyone still buys oil trucks now, in addition to smelling some gasoline, what else is good?" Listen? A lot of words have a sense of "why not eat meat paste", netizens have said: pull electric vehicles can be, but you don't have to step on fuel vehicles.
Regardless of the century-old brand history and technical accumulation of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, only the two problems of charging anxiety and endurance pain points of electric vehicles are enough to show that at this stage, electric vehicles cannot completely replace fuel vehicles.
Soon, Li Bin explained his remarks: "My original intention was that in the past few years, the charging and replacing infrastructure was indeed not convenient enough, and there were few good electric vehicles, and now the infrastructure is developing rapidly, and there are many good products in various price segments to choose from." Now is the time to choose electric vehicles, and this trend is also illustrated by the sharp increase in electric vehicle penetration in China this year. ”
It is true that the current wave of new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, is unstoppable. According to data from the Association of Passenger Vehicles, new energy narrow passenger car sales in November were 378,000 units, up 122.3% year-on-year, with a market penetration rate of 20.8%, and cumulative sales of 2.514 million units, up 178.3% year-on-year. The leap in data can explain the improvement of infrastructure construction to a certain extent, but the difficulties of some cities and some users' cars are also practical, far from saying that fuel vehicles are useless.
Following Li Bin, Shen Hui, founder, chairman and CEO of WM Motor, also spoke out online, saying that "traditional oil trucks cannot go back." However, because of the scolding, two hours later, Shen Hui changed "the traditional oil car can't go back" to "the smart car can't go back when it is used." What followed was the media summary of the recent three fires in WM Motors, which made it punch its face at the same time, but also netizens questioned: so "hot", maybe someone really "can't go back", I hope it is not the owner of Wei Ma!
On the day after Li Bin "couldn't understand it at all" (December 22), Li Xiang, the founder of Ideal Auto, posted a sales data chart of "24 months to challenge the sales champion of medium and large SUVs", comparing the sales of Ideal Car with Volkswagen's many models, and captioning: Thank you for the encouragement, continue to work hard. Most people in the industry believe that this move is revenge for 2020 Volkswagen China CEO Feng Sihan complaining that range extender cars are "the worst plan".
In fact, Feng Sihan only expressed his views on technology, and did not point out the name of the car company, he said: From the perspective of bicycles, extended range electric vehicles have certain value, but from the perspective of the whole country and the earth, it is simply the worst solution. The ultimate goal of developing electric vehicles is to reduce carbon emissions, but if it is to burn fossil fuels to generate electricity, it is not necessary to do so.
At that time, in the domestic market, only the ideal car was the main extender electric vehicle, and Li wanted to take a seat and immediately shouted over the air to have a PK with Volkswagen: "Ideal Car is willing to conduct energy-saving and environmental protection comparison tests with Volkswagen's most advanced PHEV." But there was no response, and Lee wanted to make a self-pleasuring.
Earlier, Li Xiang even blasted technical experts who questioned the range-extending scheme.
At the beginning of 2021, Li Xiang mentioned in an internal letter that the vision of Ideal Auto in 2030 is to become the world's first intelligent electric vehicle company. Whether it can become the world's first is worth waiting to see, but it is disgusting to be partial and comprehensive.
As the "old cannon" of the Internet, Li Bin, Li Xiang and others are well versed in the laws of the Internet, and how to become a topic maker, lead opinions, and generate traffic is the most important. Especially at the time of year-end inventory, people often produce and sell millions of vehicles, millions of vehicles; after doubling their own homes, it is less than 100,000 vehicles... Coupled with the fact that the company has been operating for many years and still loses money, various accidents such as spontaneous combustion and collisions have emerged in the past year, and the listing of new cars will take half a year or a year later... So, the New Year is coming, who doesn't eat dumplings yet? Can't eat dumplings, can't play a mouth cannon? If you look at it from this point of view, you will be relieved: some people's wild words really don't have to be taken seriously! Otherwise you're fooled! (Chexun Network Shen Dan from Beijing)
