At present, the development of new energy vehicle technology is really diverse, from dual engines to pure electricity to hybrid extended range models, promoting technological development and also practicing energy-saving and carbon-reduction routes. With the efforts of major car companies, new technologies in the new energy track are changing with each passing day. Geely launched "alcohol electricity" technology, Changan launched "hydrogen electricity", Toyota is offering "solar charging", a variety of new technologies make people overwhelmed, in the end can bring consumers what new experience?
It is undeniable that as the head brand of the automobile market, Changan Automobile has been a three-easy banner in the new energy track, which can be described as "getting up early and catching up late". However, life will go on and the business will move forward. The release of the 413 Deep Blue brand is a new beginning, and the Deep Blue C385 has also become a hot model in the market, and is placed high hopes.
Five years of grinding a sword, as the first model under the EPA1 platform, the C385 is also the first model of Changan Deep Blue, and Changan will pile up the housekeeping skills on the C385. There are only three technical routes C385, namely pure electricity, extender and hydrogen power, especially hydrogen electric models are infinitely amplified and spread.
At present, pure electric models and extended range models are already regularly equipped with new cars, and veteran players such as Changan naturally cannot be disappointed. C385 mainly focuses on more than 700 km CLTC range, the extended range model in the case of full fuel and full power, CLTC comprehensive working range of more than 1200 km. In the current new energy track, the two can only be regarded as meeting the qualification standards, and there is no amazing performance.
Changan will focus more on the hydrogen version of the model, C385 is Changan New Energy China and the British team jointly based on the EPA1 platform to build, the use of water and gas side stack design, to achieve a smaller volume and greater power, CLTC cruising range up to 700 km or more, feed hydrogen consumption as low as 0.65 kg / 100km or less, can achieve 3 minutes of energy replenishment.
At the same time, C385 adopts the intelligent perception algorithm of working condition mode and the gradient coating of a new generation of highly active platinum alloy catalyst to achieve ultra-high power generation efficiency and ultra-long stack life, and solve the worries of consumers.
Regardless of the driving experience that the model can eventually achieve, the "hydrogen version" itself gives people a very advanced feeling. For example, Japanese giants Toyota and Honda are veteran players of hydrogen models, and Changan Automobile's emergence this time is really eye-catching.
Speaking of Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell model Mirai, everyone is familiar with it, and it has been upgraded twice, with the highest output of the new car reaching 128kW and the WLTC cruising range reaching up to 850 kilometers. Honda CLARITY in full hydrogen state, the longest cruising range of 750km, full hydrogen fuel time of about 3 minutes.
Changan C385 CLTC has a cruising range of more than 700 kilometers, and the hydrogen consumption of feed is as low as 0.65 kg/100km or less, which can achieve 3 minutes of energy replenishment, which is no less than the Japanese double male. According to the hydrogen sales price of 70 yuan / kg, the cost of 100 kilometers is about 45 yuan.
Before Changan Hydrogen Technology, Geely has already released alcohol technology, the first model is the 4th generation Emgrand as the carrier to build a alcohol-electric hybrid car, with the strongest 40% energy saving rate of the same level and the industry's highest 4920N·m differential maximum design output torque, looking at these data are very enviable.
Geely Automobile has always adhered to the diversified development of energy, in November last year released the Raytheon Power and intelligent hybrid platform, but also introduced the progress of methanol technology, through the deep cultivation of methanol vehicles for 17 years of technical research, the investment in the field has exceeded 3 billion yuan, Geely has more than 200 core patents.
Based on the fourth generation of Emgrand, the alcohol and electric models will be launched in 2022, which can achieve alcohol consumption of 9.0L/100km and a cost of less than 0.3 yuan /km. By 2025, the next generation of methanol models will be released, the alcohol consumption of 100 kilometers will be reduced to about 7.6L, and the travel cost per kilometer will be further reduced to 0.2 yuan.
For methanol prices, the market standards are different, about one liter of methanol gasoline gasoline price is about 4.15 yuan, and the cost of 100 kilometers of methanol does not exceed 40 yuan. Compared with hydrogen energy replenishment, the cost of methanol is more affordable. However, the biggest problem in the promotion of the two is that there are too few energy stations, and the scope of application of the promotion is relatively limited.
Different from the Changan C385, Geely Alcohol Electric model chooses the classic Emgrand as the carrier, which has a feeling of unity and is also expected.
Independent brands bloom at many points, and joint venture brands also spare no effort. Toyota Motor is in a latecomer position in the electric track, and its new development strategy shows that by 2025, Toyota will introduce 5 BEV models in the Chinese market, of which FAW Toyota's first model, bZ4X, has begun to appear on display.
As the first BEV model in the Toyota series, the bZ4X was born from the exclusive e-TNGA architecture, which will use BYD blade batteries, and the BZ4X can travel 500km (WLTC endurance) at full charge. Another point of interest is that the high-performance low-attenuation battery equipped with it can achieve more than 90% of the battery capacity after 10 years.
If that's all, toyota electric vehicles give people the impression and look at it seem to be slightly thin. Toyota also came up with the latest Toyota Safety Sense (TSS3.0), as well as X MODE function and "Grip-Control" to increase the sense of technology and safety performance.
In addition, FAW Toyota bZ4X is also equipped with a solar charging dome, which can use solar power to generate 12V power or power batteries, and the energy absorbed annually can be used for vehicles to travel about 1800 km, claiming that bZ4X is a BEV model that can generate its own electricity.
Solar power generation, like hydrogen energy and alcohol electricity, gives people a sense of freshness. Even if there are too few hydrogen energy and methanol supplementation stations, it is difficult to promote; the energy brought by solar energy is very limited, and it can absorb 1800KM of energy in a year, which is really a drop in the bucket. However, the presentation of new technologies still allows people to see more possibilities and hopes.
Of course, the new technology of the new energy track is far more than this, emerging in an endless stream, and innovative development can inject new vitality and new connotation into the track.
