In the year of Nongyin, the new energy market must be a year of dragons and tigers. On the one hand, independent brands still occupy half of the new energy market with multiple strengths; on the other hand, imported brands and joint venture brands are "eyeing the tiger" for this market, and have launched their own pure electric models or hybrid models. Let's take a look at the five self-owned new energy vehicles that are expected to meet consumers in the first half of the year.
Model: NIO ET7
Recently, Weilai ET7 officially locked the order, and the scheduled consumers will "meet" with their cars at the end of March. Based on the second-generation high-efficiency electric drive platform of WEIO, the guiding price of WEILAI ET7 manufacturers is 448,000-526,000 yuan, and users can also choose the battery rental solution Baas.

In terms of details, the highlight of the NIO ET7 is the lidar and camera on the roof, which can provide a broader view for the driver. The NIO supersensitive system Aquila is equipped with 33 high-performance perception hardware that can generate 8GB of image data per second. Nio's supercomputing platform Adam is equipped with four Orin chips from NVIDIA, and with an ultra-high bandwidth image interface, the ISP can process 6.4 billion pixels per second, and the final power is as high as 1016 TOPS.

Some netizens have photographed the ideal X01 of the road test, which is far greater than the ideal ONE from the size point of view, but the overall outline is still biased towards the square shape, which is very similar to the ideal ONE.

The people evaluate the car
At the end of 2021, the sales volume of electric vehicles will exceed 20%, and it can be said that the electric vehicle market has ushered in its own spring. At the same time, it is not difficult to find that the new car-making forces in independent brands are like the "overlords" of the electric vehicle market, from the shape design to the configuration of power to the sense of technology and technology, which has a very distinct advantage. Compared with traditional car brands, all the energy of the new car-making forces is on new energy models, so we see one surprise after another, and a breakthrough again and again. Although objective factors such as climate and the matching ability of public charging equipment cannot make electric vehicles acceptable to everyone, it is certain that consumers are more looking forward to the emergence of new technologies and new technologies that can break these barriers.
At the beginning of the new year, we look forward to the advent of more good cars and the rise of independent brands.
