In the embryonic stage of China's electric intelligent car, Weilai, Xiaopeng and Ideal are like difficult brothers and sisters:
On the one hand, they are subject to the restrictions of industrial policies, and have to choose Jacques, Haima and Lifan as stepping stones in order to build cars; on the other hand, the three major plates of autonomous high-end, electric and automatic driving add up, making them sound more like scammers.
2019 is not only the worst year for WEILAI, but also a dismal year for the global auto industry. When the wind subsides, the pigs who only want to fly have already entered the table, and the pigs that are already lazy on the ground will begin to "grow meat" in 2020.
From the first model of ES8, G3 and ideal ONE, from the first plant to the second plant, from the annual delivery of more than 10,000 vehicles to the monthly delivery of more than 10,000 vehicles, and now has begun to enter the overseas market, in just two years, "Wei Xiaoli" lit up the highlight of Chinese cars.
Power swaps, heavy financing operations and extended range hybrids?
Although there is still a war of words between each other, the innovation and intelligent human design created by "Wei Xiaoli" have become the ideal electric companion for every independent traditional car company, and it has also become the new force of Chinese car manufacturing that is most likely to survive.
In the process of the collective upward movement of independent car brands, behind the fallen xiali, Zotye and Lifan and other car companies, electrification and intelligence have become a historical opportunity, not only the circumvention of technical barriers, but also a counterattack on the solidification of the brand and the market.
"Wei Xiaoli" makes electric vehicles a fashionable choice, and the stacked high-tech configuration makes multinational cars instantly no longer popular. In this new era of electric vehicles, no one is in a "full oil" state, everyone is standing on the same running line, slowly "powering up".
Whether you believe it or not, "Wei Xiaoli" believes it anyway.
If the first half of electric vehicles, Tesla and "Wei Xiaoli" and other new car forces have stolen the limelight, now from Volkswagen to Toyota, from Geely to GAC, whether it is hybridization, or pure electrification, whether it is the electrification of existing models, or the launch of new brands and models, traditional car companies have the meaning of taking over the baton.
After "Wei Xiaoli" shows the charm of electric intelligent cars to users and competitors through their respective ideas and products, the conflict between the automotive segments and development concepts they bring about begins to gradually disappear, and this combination will eventually dissolve.
The first to come is GAC Aeon, a subsidiary of GAC Group, after the monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles, 400,000 production capacity smart factories, power replacement models and Huawei's new models will be officially unveiled at the end of the year, so the market shouted out the new combination of "Ai Xiaowei", which may be the star sales combination of the pure electric vehicle market.
From the exclusive platform for pure electricity launched by the traditional automotive industry, to ultra-fast charging and ultra-long endurance power battery technology, to the cross-border play of the first supermarket experience store, GAC Aean has become a model project for traditional car companies to embrace the new era of electric.
When "Wei Xiaoli" becomes "Ai Xiaowei", when electric intelligent vehicles become the focus of the development of the entire industry, the next "Wei Xiaoli" will continue to emerge, such as Geely's Extreme Kr, Changan's Deep Blue and Avita, BYD's Denza and Dongfeng's Lantu and so on.
When electric intelligent cars were not understood by users, it was "Wei Xiaoli" that used technology, products and services to make a small number of users "believe" first.
Until now, there are still users who have reservations about this, but smart cars have become one of the car purchase options for a large number of users, and everyone has begun to "believe".
Weilai's user service, Xiaopeng's intelligent technology and ideal products are still the characteristics of "Wei Xiaoli", but they have no longer become a sign of the separation of the fuel vehicle and electric vehicle markets.
When we no longer worry about the sudden collapse of "Wei Xiaoli" one day, we do not need to regard the electric vehicles of traditional car companies as representatives of backward products and services.
A movie needs to have a conflicting plot arrangement, but real life has never been so hot.
Fuel vehicles and electric vehicles have always been one, not a zero-sum game between you and me, not a variety of anxieties between car companies, just a choice for users based on their own use scenarios, it does not matter whether it is right or wrong, it does not matter whether it is advanced or backward.
"Wei Xiaoli" successfully told the market and users that electric intelligent cars have great potential, and now electric vehicles have run all over the street, and the threshold of smart cars has been pulled low enough, and the majority of users have become the biggest winners.
The "Wei Xiaoli" combination will eventually be dissolved, which is the inevitable development of China's automobile.
Goodbye, "Wei Xiaoli", the era of your dreams has finally arrived.
