An old entrepreneurial driver who has been in the mall for a long time, pay attention to me, share a little wealth dry goods every day, and make your life less detours.
Recently, there is a passage circulating on the Internet: crude oil does not fall, I am not the same as crude oil; crude oil does not rise, crude oil has an impact on me.
Some netizens predict that this 95 gasoline will enter the 9 yuan era. More netizens said that in today's crazy rise in oil prices, buying new energy vehicles is the most suitable.
Indeed, new energy vehicles in the mainland have ushered in rapid development since 2014. At present, the overall technology of new energy vehicles in the mainland has reached the international leading level. For example, the mainland power battery technology has reached the international leading level.
In terms of sales volume, according to the data of the General Administration of Customs compiled by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2021, China's export of new energy vehicles (including low-speed electric vehicles) will total 540,000, becoming the world's largest exporter of electric vehicles in 2021. At present, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in the mainland have also ranked first in the world for six consecutive years.
In this way, the prospect of the development of new energy vehicles in the mainland is really a blue ocean! But is that really the case? Cao Dewang said the point in one sentence.
He said that new energy vehicles are not water, or have to use electricity, everyone is actually engaged in electric vehicles, the result is desperately hype new energy, so many companies are following the wind, after a gust of wind, but also to kill many enterprises.
Cao Dewang's sentence tells the chaos of the current development of new energy vehicles in the mainland, as well as the deep-seated problems behind it. I'll start with the following three aspects.
First, are electric vehicles new energy vehicles?
The definition of new energy vehicles is that it adopts unconventional vehicle fuel as the power source, integrates the advanced technology of the vehicle's power control and drive, and forms a car with advanced technical principles, new technologies and new structures. The definition of pure electric vehicles is a vehicle that uses the on-board power supply as the power source, drives the wheels with an electric motor, and meets the requirements of road traffic and safety regulations.
From the perspective of model range, new energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended range electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, and other new energy vehicles. Pure electric vehicles include electric cars, electric trucks and electric buses.
Therefore, we can conclude that new energy vehicles include electric vehicles, but not only electric vehicles. The new energy vehicles currently circulating in the mainland market are actually the first kind of new energy vehicles. As Cao Dewang said, he is an electric car.
Second, can electric vehicles really achieve environmental protection?
We all know that fuel cars emit carbon dioxide while burning oil, and then when carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere, it will bring a greenhouse effect to the earth. Electric vehicles are driven by electric motors, there is no burning oil, and of course, there is no carbon emission behavior. Therefore, from the perspective of the car itself, electric vehicles are indeed more environmentally friendly than fuel vehicles.
But we can't help but ask, electric vehicles are environmentally friendly, but is electric environmentally friendly? Although many energy sources on the mainland, such as solar, geothermal, wind, ocean, biomass and fusion, are at the world's leading level. But all of this combined generates less than 30 percent of the continent's total electricity generation, while thermal power generation still exceeds 70 percent.
What does thermal power generation rely on to generate electricity? Electricity is generated by coal, of course. Therefore, thermal power generation itself is emitting carbon dioxide. From this point of view, electric vehicles are not environmentally friendly.
Besides, if everyone really had an electric car, according to experts, the per capita household electricity consumption would increase tenfold. May I ask, now that the country is limiting electricity to control energy, where does so much energy consumption come from at once?
Let's leave all this aside, just talk about the power battery! According to the calculation of the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, about 200,000 tons of car power batteries will be scrapped in the past two years, and this data is still climbing, and it is expected that the annual scrap power batteries will reach 350,000 tons by 2025.
Now the recycling and dismantling of power batteries is a world problem. Because the power battery contains a large number of nickel, cobalt, manganese and other organic matter, the harm caused to the environment is also huge, and secondary pollution will be formed if it is not done well. Even if the power battery can be recycled, the cost involved is far greater than the value of its recycling, which also leads to many manufacturers are reluctant to do this.
Therefore, if this matter is not handled well, does it mean that the more electric vehicles, the greater the environmental pollution problem involved in the later stage?
Third, do we want to develop new energy vehicles?
First of all, of course, we must develop new energy vehicles, but not only electric vehicles. Because new energy vehicles are an area where the mainland can achieve overtaking in the corners of the world's automobile tracks. And we also have absolute strength in this field.
Second, we need to do both and go hand in hand. If the electricity we use cannot achieve new energy, if our power battery cannot be properly handled, we only know how to blindly develop electric energy vehicles, and in the end it can only be a heroic martyr.
As Cao Dewang said, using electric vehicles to hype new energy, after a gust of wind, many enterprises will die.
