In March this year, Ideal ONE announced its own sales results, a total of 11034 units, an increase of 125.2% year-on-year, looking back at the sales of the previous two months, Ideal ONE January and February sales combined to 20682 vehicles, so it seems that the monthly sales of 10,000 units for Ideal ONE, is very relaxed, but you know? Ideal ONE as a mainstream range extender electric vehicle, in fact, there is a very big controversy behind it.
Ideal: Although the controversy is big, it does not affect my sales
Volkswagen China CEO Feng Sihan once said bluntly: "Extender electric is the worst solution."
In fact, such a statement is not unreasonable, let's first look at the operation mode of the extender electric, to the engine to generate electricity, and then transmit to the motor, so that the motor to drive the wheels to move, that is to say, the engine does not directly drive the wheels, but only for the motor to generate electricity, so speaking, do you understand that this extended range electric is completely redundant?
Of course, the controversy also arises from here.
Because according to the operation mode of the extender electric, it will not have endurance anxiety, although it can also be refueled and charged, but it will not rely on the charging pile, after all, as long as there is oil, the engine can give the motor power after running, so the short endurance and slow charging are not difficult to defeat it, then this is the advantage of the extender electric.
Its shortcomings are also obvious, as the saying goes: "Take off your pants and fart, it's superfluous!" ”
The engine transmits energy to the motor, and then the motor drives the wheels, here itself will have a part of the loss of energy consumption, just like the fact that two people can directly dock, but it is handed over to a third-party agent, so it is superfluous, and this is why Feng Sihan wants to say that the extender electric is the most slotted solution.
Therefore, friends who support and oppose range extender electric have always been independent, and the reason why its sales are high (taking the ideal ONE as an example) is because the people who buy it are all recognizing the advantages of the extender electric, and it is precisely because of the high sales of the ideal ONE that a large wave of new car-making forces have entered the range extender electric, of which Huawei is one of them.
Ideal ONE "market exploration" success, Huawei: this "bureau" can enter!
With the guidance of the ideal ONE, naturally, the number of car companies that want to squeeze into the small category of extended-range electric vehicles has gradually increased, and even Huawei can't hold back. This is not, recently the joint Xilis launched the Qelimir M5, and the genius Li Yinan, also from the electric motorcycle market to attack the extender electric, all of this is to say that the big guys in the business world have begun to pay attention to the extender electric, so what is the reason why this "non-class" car category has suddenly become the industry's fragrant food?
First of all, of course, the operability of the extender electric is relatively strong, because its principle is very simple, there is not much technical difficulty, and there is almost no problem with the neck of the card. In addition, its car manufacturing cost is relatively low, you say that the ideal ONE range extender, is provided by the domestic Dongan Power, so the extender electric for the new car-making forces are more friendly, and the extender electric compared to the hybrid and pure electric market, its competitive pressure is much smaller, it is no wonder, even Huawei dare to be assured of bold entry.
However, there is one thing that everyone still needs to know, that is, the market for extended-range electric vehicles also has a certain time limit.
The length of the extender electric "life" depends largely on the speed of pure electric development
Let's put aside hydrogen energy for the time being, the mainstream new energy models on the market are pure electric and hybrid, as well as range extender electric, in fact, if you want to strictly divide, the range extender electric is actually the same as the hybrid model, are a transitional product of the market, compared to pure electric vehicles, their "life" is much shorter, once the charging pile layout is more and more perfect, after the charging efficiency is raised, the "unlimited endurance" as the selling point of the extender electric will only be "cool", and the reason why the extender electric is now "hot" is that it is "hot." That's because the shortcomings of pure electric power have not been fundamentally solved, so it still has a wave of dividends to eat.
It is worth noting that once this "dividend period" has passed, it is likely to fall into the bottom, but there is a point that needs to be added, that is, no one can predict how long this wave of "dividend period" will last, after all, it is not a matter of time and a half to solve the shortcomings of pure electric, and it is no wonder that so many "new people" have entered the game of extender electric.
