On January 18, the Securities Daily reporter learned that times electric service, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CATL, released the overall solution of EVOGO (Lexing power exchange) and the combination of power exchange service brand. According to Chen Weifeng, general manager of Times Electric Service, he revealed to reporters that the EVOGO power exchange service will be launched in the first batch of 10 cities, and the first suitable models are FAW Besturn NAT power exchange models.

With the increasingly prominent contradiction of new energy vehicles, the power exchange mode is rapidly rising with the advantages of the system. In fact, the power exchange model to achieve the whole market scale landing, battery standardization is the premise, the market share has an absolute dominant position of the Ningde era intends to become one of the most core participants in the entire power exchange industry.

According to the reporter's understanding, the "chocolate power exchange block" specially launched by the Ningde era adopts the latest CTP technology of the Ningde era, with a weight energy density of more than 160Wh/kg, a volume energy density of more than 325Wh/L, and a single battery can provide an endurance of about 200 kilometers. In addition, the "chocolate changer block" adopts wireless BMS technology, and only has a high-voltage positive and negative interface on the outside, which greatly improves the reliability of the plugged and unplugged components.

"The chocolate power exchange block is suitable for passenger cars and logistics vehicles from class A00 to Class B and Class C, and is suitable for models developed by 80% of the world's pure electric platforms that have been launched and will be launched in the next three years." Chen Weifeng said.

The industry generally believes that behind the entry of the Ningde era is the 100 billion scale of the blue ocean market that still needs to be tapped. According to the Research Report of Orient Securities, it is expected that the sales of new energy vehicles in China will reach 7.8 million in 2025, of which the proportion of power-changing models is expected to reach 30%. According to sales estimates, it is expected that the mainland substation equipment market is expected to reach 69.3 billion yuan in 2025.

"With the development of new energy vehicle technology, users have no longer have range anxiety, but are more and more concerned about charging time." According to Chen Weifeng, EVOGO's express station has four characteristics: small area, fast circulation, large capacity and full climate. Only three parking spaces are required for each standard station, and each substation can store 48 power exchange blocks, and a single power block can be replaced for about 1 minute. At the same time, the substation can also be provided with versions adapted to the climatic and environmental conditions of different regions.

Different from the traditional power exchange mode, the power exchange solution launched by CATL can realize charging and on-demand rental while realizing power exchange. Taking "renting electricity on demand" as an example, users only need to rent one power block to commute in the city every day. If you're traveling long distances, you can choose between two or three blocks.

At the same time, the press conference also revealed the 001 member of the EVOGO "Little Green Ring Family" - FAW Besturn NAT combination power exchange version. Chen Weifeng said that the EVOGO power exchange service will be launched in the first batch of 10 cities, and more brands of power exchange models will be released.
