At the end of each year, the major car companies are busy with the final wave of performance, so that their year-end statements can look better, but some people are happy and some people are sad.
And BYD Han is obviously the one who is happy, this year BYD Han has been quite moist, and the sales are continuous.
Sales reached a new high in December
This is not the recent BYD Han released last December sales data, 13701 units, a new high, of which EV models once again sold more than 10,000 bicycles, reaching 10,301 units. Last month, EV model sales successfully exceeded 10,000. Not only did it break through 10,000 monthly sales for EV models for the first time, but it also made Han the first pure electric medium and large sedan with monthly sales exceeding 10,000.
Zoomed in to the entire BYD new energy series, the report card of 593745 vehicles was handed over throughout the year, an increase of 231.6% year-on-year. This is also a new Chinese record as of now, which is 2.4 times the previous Chinese record.
Beyond the BBA
Compare the top three BBA companies that are also positioned as medium and large cars. Han's 13,071 vehicles sold more than the 10,123 Audi A6s of the same class and the 9,341 of the BMW 5 Series, second only to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class of 13,904.
If the basis of the comparison is set on the new energy model, then in front of Han, the new energy model of the BBA top three is almost completely defeated.
In December, sales of E-class, 5-series, and A6L new energy models were 2,591 units, 1,951 units, and 325 units, respectively, and cumulative sales from January to December were 7,908 units, 23,701 units, and 4,334 units, respectively.
HH: None of them can fight
Turning the time forward, Han has sold more than 10,000 for four consecutive months and maintained month-on-month growth for eight consecutive months.
As of December last year, Han's cumulative sales volume has exceeded 110,000 vehicles, ranking top 1 in the medium and large new energy car market. Han's hot sales also confirm the traditional view that gold will always shine, and also overturn the truth that domestic high-end cars are doomed to slow sales.
In fact, it is not that the Chinese people are unwilling to spend high prices to buy domestic high-end cars, but the comprehensive product strength shown by most domestic high-end cars is not worth the chinese people's thousands of dollars.
A sports car dream that never forgets
Sales are good, the waist pole is naturally hardened, and there is the courage to launch more non-volume models, such as roadsters and station wagons, which are regarded as niche models in China.
(Cold knowledge, in fact, as early as 2009, BYD launched the first domestic folding hard-top sports car - BYD S8, but it was ridiculed by netizens as both the appearance of pulling wind and the power to pull down).
Although the road exposed in the convertible version attempts to be heavily camouflaged, the long strip of silver chrome trim and the Chinese character icon in the center can still be identified from the front of the car.
When will it be available? Don't ask me, no results!
In fact, Han's hot sales are just a microcosm, magnified to the entire new energy market, especially focusing on new car manufacturing forces, last December can be described as blooming everywhere.
For example, the ideal ONE for the whole family was delivered in December with 14,087 units, a record high. This is already the ideal ONE for two consecutive months to deliver more than 10,000.
After the delivery of the Ideal ONE exceeded 10,000 last month, Shen Yanan, co-founder and president of Ideal Automobile, also proudly said: This is also the first time that a Chinese brand model with a starting price of more than 300,000 yuan has achieved a single monthly delivery of more than 10,000.
Another example is Xiaopeng, which delivered 16,000 vehicles in December, which also hit a record high. It has delivered more than 10,000 vehicles for 4 consecutive months, and has won the top position in the sales list of new car-making forces for 3 consecutive months.
Of course, weilai, one of the three musketeers, delivered 10,489 vehicles in December, an increase of 49.7% year-on-year.
It is also worth noting that the main high-end Weilai, the minimum entry threshold of its products is still more than 300,000 (Weilai ET5 starts at 328,000), the average price is more than 400,000, Han, Ideal ONE, Xiaopeng can not reach.
There are also Nezha, Weima and other new energy composition puzzles have also gained good sales.
And this kind of collective "outbreak" of sales of new energy vehicle companies will only become more and more common in the future. Because according to the forecast, the penetration rate of the domestic new energy vehicle market will exceed 20% next year, and the annual sales volume will reach about 5 million.
This also means that the medium-term goal of "2025 new energy vehicle sales in mainland China will reach 20% in 2025" proposed in the "New Energy Vehicle Development Plan (2021-2035)" may be achieved three years in advance.
Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, threatened that "by the end of next year, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China will exceed 35%. "It's a bit idealistic, but it's a good hope.
Therefore, it is an obvious fact that more and more domestic car companies want to use new energy to overtake in curves, bypassing the technical fortress that old car companies have built in hundreds of years to drive the three major pieces.
This also gives those who look at domestic cars with colored glasses a chance to publish their insights again. Don't bother to delve into the three major pieces, you will only speculate and follow the trend, and in the end you will achieve nothing.
But new energy is not a product of a whim, not a bubble, and do not underestimate the technical foundation of new energy vehicles, if you want to play a good three-electric system (electric drive, battery, electronic control), the difficulty is no less than the development of three major pieces.
The control of the three-electric system is not in place, which leads to weak vehicle performance and poor endurance, and may also induce safety problems such as spontaneous combustion and short circuit.
Therefore, for those car companies that have the ability to use new energy to overtake, we should give more support and encouragement, less discrimination and exclusion. It's better to overtake in a corner than to stand still, or to drive backwards, right?
Further talking about the rise of domestic new energy vehicles, it is also forcing joint venture new energy vehicles.
Of course, even if the future will be the world of new energy, fuel vehicles will eventually disappear in the car market. But it does not mean that the fuel vehicles will be completely eliminated at the moment, and gasoline will transition to new energy, which is a gradual process.
Therefore, the statement made earlier by chairman of Weilai that "I don't understand why there are still people buying oil trucks" has also caused huge controversy.
I understand that Chairman Weilai wants to add fire to the new energy market, but it is too late. Relying solely on an engine that condenses the research and development efforts of car companies, it cannot easily erase the value of fuel vehicles, and many domestic car companies are also trying to prove themselves in the field of internal combustion engines.
Great Wall GW6K30G 3.0T engine
Previously, the professor has written about those high-level domestic engines, including 3.0T and 4.0T engines developed by brands such as Great Wall and Hongqi, as well as Chery's high-performance 2.0T engines with 3.5L displacement.
It mentioned a point of view, "We can do electric vehicles, but in the stage of fuel vehicle dividends, China's fuel vehicles also have to prove themselves once." This is the "ambition of domestic products."
Whether electric vehicles and fuel vehicles are to meet the needs of different consumers, they can coexist in the car market, and it is also a good thing for consumers to choose more.
The most feared thing is that the new energy market is booming, consumers will blindly follow the trend of purchase, but after a period of time to find that new energy vehicles are not suitable for their own car needs, this is the crux of the problem.
Seeing this, for the current pure electricity, plug-in, oil-electric hybrid, and extender systems, the professor came to do a small science popularization.
The first is pure electric drive car, choose such models to consider whether you often have the need to drive long distances. More precisely, it is necessary to consider whether the vehicle's pure electric mileage can match the number of kilometers traveled under the condition of 20% discount.
On the National Day, the owner of the pure electric car drove back by car, encountered traffic jams in order to save electricity and did not dare to turn on the air conditioner, and even the whole family got off the car and squatted on the side of the road. It is difficult to encounter a charging station but found that the news of charging for one hour and queuing for four hours is believed to be heard by everyone.
Therefore, I personally suggest that pure trams are more suitable for commuting in the city, short trips, and there are more congested roads in the city, and it is better to need to draw numbers and cards. Or maybe you have a gasoline car at home for a long trip backup.
As for the plug-in, range extender, and hybrid oil-electricity type, they all integrate the motor and the engine, the difference is that the first two can be charged or refueled, and the latter can only be refueled.
Specifically, the engine in the hybrid system is the absolute protagonist, including driving the vehicle and charging the electric motor, and there is not much difference between the driving experience and the fuel vehicle.
Because the motor capacity is small, it does not have pure electric endurance, and it cannot enjoy the benefits of the national new energy policy, but some local governments give corresponding subsidies in order to support the hybrid models produced by local car companies.
In fact, the main task of the motor of the hybrid model is to work at low speed conditions, so that the vehicle can get a faster response, and achieve zero fuel consumption at the beginning.
However, the hybrid version of the same model is generally tens of thousands more expensive than the fuel version, which is a measure of whether the extra money spent on the price of the car can be offset in the fuel cost saved in the later stage.
Finally, plug-in and extender, because they can be charged, they all have a certain pure electrical endurance, the former is generally 50-100km, and the latter is generally more than 150km.
So if you just have to cope with commuting needs, you also use pure electric drive. The latter's 150km pure electric mileage can meet the commuting needs of five working days a week. Although the former is exhausted, there is an internal combustion engine to make up, but only the internal combustion engine to do work, fuel consumption will be quite touching.
Conversely, if you switch to a high-speed scene, because the engine of the range extended electric vehicle does not directly drive the wheels, but charges the battery through work, and then provides power to the vehicle.
The engine of the plug-in electric vehicle can drive the wheels directly through the gearbox, supplemented by the motor, which will be more powerful and more efficient than the extended range electric vehicle.
Therefore, the choice between the two depends on the proportion of commuting and high-speed cars in the city. If the proportion of commuting in the city is higher, it is recommended to extend the range, and the higher proportion of high speed is recommended to plug in.
Since the day of the birth of new energy vehicles, the debate about whether to choose a fuel vehicle or a new energy vehicle has continued to this day. The emergence of new energy vehicles has filled the shortcomings of fuel vehicles, and at the same time, the fuel vehicle body also has a mechanical texture that new energy vehicles cannot learn.
So what the professor wants to say is that we should be thankful to live in this era where fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles exist at the same time.
