Cao Cao Travel Chen Jia: The cost of new energy vehicles is three times lower, and the battery national standard should be established as soon as possible

21st Century Business Herald reporter Tao Li Dongguan report on October 12, in the Dongguan Municipal People's Government, Southern Finance and Economics All-Media Group, 21st Century Business Herald and Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology jointly sponsored the 2021 China Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Annual Conference and Semiconductor Industry Summit, Cao Cao Travel South China General Manager Chen Jia said that the entire online car industry was the earliest use of fuel vehicles, the cost is very high compared with the current new energy vehicles. "In the past, fuel consumption was basically 6 cents per kilometer, but now after the use of new energy vehicles, the cost per kilometer is 1.7 cents." However, there is a problem with charging, that is, the driver has to wait for an hour, and the power exchange can completely solve this problem. ”

According to public information, Cao Cao Travel is an online ride-hailing travel platform under Geely Holding Group. Just this past September, the company announced the completion of a 3.8 billion yuan Series B financing. This is not only the first domestic equity investment obtained by the online ride-hailing enterprise this year, but also the largest single financing obtained by the online ride-hailing enterprise in China since 2020.

Chen Jia revealed that in March this year, Cao Cao Chuxing launched the first power replacement model, and 150 units were released in the early stage, which was better evaluated by drivers. "I personally think that it takes effort to do this thing on the national standard of the battery, and if there is no standard, a lot of cost is very high. In addition, in the future, for the sales of electric vehicles, after the separation of vehicles and electricity, vehicle price assessment is also a challenge to the future of the market, our operational efficiency is still very good, and the second tram will be pushed in the near future, and the third tram is also under development. ”

In the past few years, the main operating vehicle of Cao Cao Chuxing has been Geely's Emgrand EV pure electric vehicle. In 2020, Cao Cao Chuxing launched a high-end pure electric model Geometry A in some cities. In March 2021, the replacement model, the Maple Leaf 80V, was launched. The vehicle has a comprehensive operating range of 415 km, and the driver can complete the battery replacement in 60 seconds.

However, for the industry, customized models need to grasp the needs and psychology of users. "It's also a challenge for us to know what kind of car users need in three years' time. The power exchange mode is the breaking point, and we have taken the lead in using the power exchange mode for reform, including the separation of vehicle electricity and the improvement of power exchange efficiency. In the future, we hope to adopt some new ways, if the battery ownership is not in you, you can use the payment can be greatly reduced, the user's concern is gone. This layout on future models is relatively advantageous. Chen Jia further pointed out.

At present, Cao Cao Travel has been deployed in 62 cities across the country, with more than 60 million users. Geely Technology Group's power exchange ecological network is also being rolled out in major cities in China. In 2020, Geely Technology Group's intelligent substations have landed in Chongqing, Hangzhou, Jinan, Zibo and other places, and the number of substations signed nationwide has exceeded 1,000; in 2025, Geely's planning target is 5,000. In the future, this power exchange network will also be promoted step by step in large and medium-sized cities, inter-provincial and high-speed road networks across the country.
