At present, the mainland new energy automobile industry is in a period of rapid development, in the past quarter, the data show that Mainland automobile production and sales were 6.484 million units and 6.509 million vehicles, of which, the production and sales of the new energy market in the first quarter were 1.293 million units and 1.257 million vehicles, occupying nearly 20% of the total market with very strong data, in this industry background, local governments are vigorously promoting the development of new energy vehicle enterprises, which can not only promote the coordinated development of the local overall automobile industry chain and surrounding supporting industries, but also promote the city's employment enthusiasm and economic growth, which is of great significance.
Shanghai is a good example, as a first-tier city, Shanghai not only introduced the Tesla super factory, but also participated in the financing of WM Motors, etc., in the development of the new energy industry is very positive, so in 2021, Shanghai's annual output of new energy vehicles ranks first in the country, up to 630,000, and its new energy vehicle output value exceeds 160 billion yuan, of which, Tesla Shanghai Super Factory in 2021 The output value exceeds 150 billion yuan, it can be said that tesla's introduction is a mutually beneficial development opportunity. And Shanghai is firmly grasped.
For Tesla, now is also the time to increase production capacity, so Tesla announced that it will build a second gigafactory, and as soon as the news came out, there were many cities eager to move. Since 2021, there have been many "gossip cities" of Tesla's second factory, and there have been nine cities in Xi'an, Wuhan, Hefei, Chongqing, Yibin, Qingdao, Shenyang, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, which shows how sought-after Tesla's second factory is, and also shows the desire of these cities for advanced manufacturing, but it is not only these cities that have ideas for Tesla's second factory.
On April 24, Zhuhai held an industrial development conference, at which it was said that Zhuhai will aim at the heavyweight targets of 1,500 new industrial projects of more than 10 million yuan and 450 manufacturing projects of more than 100 million yuan registered each year, and has preliminarily negotiated several enterprises such as Tesla, BYD, Xiaopeng Automobile and Premium Car, and has been exploring the possibility of cooperation.
For the above news, we can think that Zhuhai also has ideas for Tesla's second factory.
Some relevant people said that in the development of the new energy industry, Zhuhai will mainly exert efforts in new energy vehicle projects.
So far, one-third of the cities in the Pearl River Delta have participated in this war, and some insiders believe that although Zhuhai is backed by the Greater Bay Area, there are shipping advantages, but there are also disadvantages, that is, Zhuhai's new energy industry started late, and there is a gap between the supply chain supporting and the Yangtze River Delta, so in the case that the local government has not introduced clear preferential policies, it is relatively hanging to grab Tesla's second factory.
For this point, cui Dongshu, secretary general of the Association, is basically consistent with the above, he believes that car companies will mainly consider the industrial chain supporting and consumption base when choosing the place where the factory is located.
At present, the location of Tesla's second factory is still a mystery, Tesla officials did not take the initiative to throw an olive branch to whom, the addition of Zhuhai undoubtedly makes this battle more tense, do not know who can win this big cake in the end.
