When the two sessions were in progress, entrepreneurs who also held the posts of people's congress deputies offered suggestions and suggestions and submitted many proposals.
Among the many proposals, the proposal submitted by Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi Group, entitled "Suggestions on Accelerating the Construction of High-power Fast Charging Infrastructure for New Energy Vehicles", is undoubtedly the most concerned.
Why? On the one hand, new energy vehicles, as the hottest outlet in recent years, have attracted more attention; on the other hand, since "General Lei" announced his entry into the new energy automobile industry last year, there has been no more new news in the past six months, and whether this proposal will be related to its "car-making industry" is also very interesting.
So, behind this proposal, is there any secret about Lei Jun's car? As a well-known entrepreneur, why did Lei Jun put forward this proposal? Today we will talk about this topic!
A proposal that hits the "pain points of the industry"
First, let's take a closer look at the proposal. The specific content of this proposal has three points:
It is recommended to strengthen policy guidance, coordinate the planning and layout of high-power fast charging networks; form a national innovation cooperation platform to strengthen joint research on core technologies; strengthen construction service guarantees, and promote the popularization of high-power charging infrastructure.
To put it simply, it is to advocate the popularization of high-power charging piles as soon as possible through policy guidance and national promotion.
In fact, in the current context of the rapid development of new energy vehicles, I think this proposal is still very meaningful for the development of new energy vehicles, and it can even be said that it directly hits the pain points of the industry!
I don't know if you remember the news of queuing up in the high-speed service area during the National Day last year, there are new energy vehicle owners waiting in line for charging, "charging for one hour, queuing for four hours", even dare not go to the bathroom, there are also car owners for the charging pile to fight for the big fight! Behind this phenomenon, it is actually because the number of charging piles is insufficient, and the power is not high, and the charging is too slow.
At present, the new energy automobile industry is facing a serious situation of "more cars and fewer piles". According to the data released by the China Charging Alliance, at the end of 2020, the number of new energy vehicles and charging piles in China was 4.92 million and 1.681 million units, respectively, and the vehicle-to-pile ratio was about 2.9:1.
With the outbreak of new energy vehicle sales, as of June 2021, the number of new energy vehicles was 6.03 million units, an increase of 22.6%, while the number of charging piles nationwide in the same period was 1.947 million units, an increase of only 15.8%, and the vehicle-to-pile ratio fell to 3.1:1.
Moreover, it is worth noting that 1.024 million of these 1.947 million charging piles are private charging piles, and only 923,000 public charging piles provide charging services to the outside world! If calculated by public charging piles, the vehicle-to-pile ratio rose from 6.1:1 at the end of last year to 6.5:1, and the average public pile corresponds to 6-7 vehicles.
Perhaps in ordinary times, we will not feel that the charging pile is not enough, because if the daily charging, a household tram may be charged once in 3 to 5 days; however, if it encounters a holiday, the charging demand will increase significantly, the charging pile will appear insufficient.
In addition, the current regional distribution of charging piles is not balanced. According to statistics, a large number of charging piles are currently set in urban areas, and the current number of highway charging piles is 10836, accounting for less than 1.2% of the total number of public charging piles in the country, which is no wonder that there will be a situation of rushing charging piles on holidays!
Look at Lei Jun's proposal, although the installation of charging piles is the best solution, but the high-speed service station is always limited, it is impossible to vacate a large place to install the charging pile, after all, usually, there are not many trams to charge the high-speed service station, which will cause a waste of resources.
And if you can improve the charging power of the charging pile, speed up the charging speed, in fact, it is a good solution, the original a tram charging to half an hour, replaced the charging pile may be 15 hours can be full, so that the efficiency of charging is greatly improved, naturally can reduce the queue charging situation!
Spy on Xiaomi and Lei Jun's "car-making industry"
After talking about Lei Zong's proposal, let's gossip about Lei Jun's "car-making cause" again.
Since March last year, Lei Jun threatened to "bet on the full reputation of life" to build a car, Xiaomi and Lei Jun's "car-making industry" has attracted much attention; however, it has been almost a year since Lei Jun announced that it has been almost a year since Lei Jun announced that he entered the car, but Xiaomi's new energy vehicles have not yet seen the shadow, and the friendly Huawei has launched a second new energy vehicle, which is really worrying.
However, judging from Lei Jun's proposal this year, the "car-making industry" should still be steadily advancing, and the direction is also very clear: car-making should be low-carbon and environmentally friendly. Because in addition to the above proposals for charging piles, many of the 4 proposals submitted by Lei Jun this year are related to carbon. There are even media interpretations of these proposals - Xiaomi not only wants to build new energy vehicles, but also wants to create a low-carbon or even zero-carbon new energy vehicle ecological industry chain!
Of course, for Lei Jun and Xiaomi to build a car, at present, we are only catching the wind and catching shadows, and it is inconvenient to speculate too much before there is exact information. However, remember that after the launch of the Xiaomi mobile phone, the domestic smart phone ushered in a round of innovation - not only the configuration of the mobile phone is high, but also the price is low; then when will the Xiaomi car be offline, and what changes can he bring to the industry?
