For China's major cities, Tesla is like a "scumbag", and every once in a while there will be a rumored city of a second factory.
Qingdao in October last year, later Chengdu in Chongqing, plus Shenyang at the beginning of the Year of the Tiger, were all recruited.
This kind of "seductive" routine, Tesla has become familiar with it.
From 2016 to 2017, Tesla would come forward almost every once in a while to respond to "denying settling in Shanghai." ”
But Tesla does have "scum" capital.
In 2021, Tesla will produce about 936,200 units, and the Shanghai Gigafactory will contribute 484,000 units.
While the output reached a new high, Tesla also single-handedly promoted the vertical rise of Shanghai's new energy automobile industry. In 2021, the output value of new energy vehicles in Shanghai will exceed 160 billion yuan, and Tesla's Shanghai factory will contribute 150 billion yuan.
Therefore, the major cities facing development pressure still love Tesla to death.
Qingji previously said that after the introduction of Chinese Express, Qingdao may "strategically abandon" Tesla. But the reality is that no city will reject Tesla, Qingdao's own port advantages, the policy dividends of the free trade zone, plus the automobile industry chain cultivated through FAW and others, and the huge consumer market of Shandong's double 100 million people are Qingdao's advantages.
After signing a contract with Laixi, Huaren Express went to the West Coast New Area at the beginning of the Year of the Tiger to investigate, which obviously also favored the superposition advantages of "national new area + free trade zone + large port".
Of course, compared with the temptation of Tesla's large volume, if Qingdao can calm down and grow with Huaren Express, especially in the attraction and cultivation of key industrial chains, it may be a more challenging and meaningful thing to build Huaren Express into a local new energy vehicle brand in China that can compete with Tesla.
The following is from the "2021 Qingdao New Economy Report" (Part 2) of the new energy automobile industry: Tesla or Chinese Express, the choice of the rise of Qingdao's new energy automobile industry, recording the development process of Qingdao new energy vehicles in 2021.
At the beginning of 2022, "Wei Xiaoli" announced the delivery volume in 2021, which was 91429 vehicles, 98155 vehicles and 90491 vehicles respectively.
From the perspective of the growth rate of delivery, Xiaopeng Automobile increased by more than 2.6 times, with an ideal year-on-year increase of 177.4%, and Weilai increased by 109.1% year-on-year.
Although the delivery volume of the three new car-making forces has not exceeded the 100,000 mark, from the perspective of growth rate, the new energy automobile industry still has huge room for improvement, which is why local governments are betting on new energy vehicles.
For a long time to come, the automobile industry, especially the new energy automobile industry, which has a large investment scale, a long industrial chain and is closely integrated with the ICT industry, will continue to drive economic growth in various places.
It started with Chery, Tesla in the middle, and At the end of the year, Chinese Express. 2021 is a year of harvest and brewing harvest for Qingdao's new energy automobile industry.
On January 28, qingdao Meijin new energy commercial vehicle manufacturing center project, one of the three major projects of "Qingdao Meijin Hydrogen Energy Science and Technology Park" with a total investment of 11.5 billion yuan, was put into operation in the West Coast New Area, and Qingdao's first hydrogen energy bus demonstration operation line was officially opened.
Qingdao Meijin New Energy Commercial Vehicle Manufacturing Center Project started construction in April 2020, the main products are buses, light trucks, medium trucks, heavy trucks, the initial annual output of new energy commercial vehicles 5,000 vehicles.
On February 26, the day of the Lantern Festival, the centralized construction activities of major projects in Shandong Province in the spring of 2021 were held, and Qingdao placed the sub-venue at the project site of Chery Automobile Qingdao Base in Jimo District.
Chery Automobile Qingdao Base project total investment of 13 billion yuan, after the completion of the project, with an annual output of 300,000 vehicles production capacity, can achieve an annual output value of 38 billion yuan.
On March 19, Qingdao Mayor Zhao Haozhi led the relevant departments directly under the municipal government and the main responsible comrades of relevant districts and cities to Changchun City to visit China FAW Group and hold a discussion with Xu Liuping, chairman of China FAW, and the two sides had in-depth exchanges on deepening mutually beneficial cooperation in more fields.
In FAW, Zhao Haozhi and his party successively visited China FAW Hongqi Factory, China FAW NBD Headquarters Hongqi R&D Institute, and China FAW Modeling Center.
Obviously, for Hongqi, which urgently needs to occupy a place in the field of new energy vehicles, Qingdao may be a good choice outside of Changchun.
