There are two core intentions for the electrification transition.
One is to bypass the technological blockade of traditional foreign-funded enterprises with the help of a new power system of electrification, and the other is to quickly promote carbon peaking and carbon neutrality and establish a long-term environmentally friendly and effective sustainable development route.
The penetration rate of China's passenger car market exceeded 37% at the end of September this year, and the increasing number of people buying electrification shows that China's electrification is very successful at the market level, and we already have the largest proportion of electrification sales in the world.
However, WM pressed the pause button for the owner, and also let us begin to reflect that not all electrified products and enterprises are worthy of entrustment, in addition to choosing excellent companies and brands, the requirements for products must also enter the level of "rational thinking" from "following the trend of selection".
What is a good car?
In addition to achieving the mainstream in the three-electric system, it is also necessary to take care of the real needs of users in invisible places, and ensure the safety of the car with double layers inside and outside.
Recently, Green NCAP announced a systematic and comprehensive ranking of all tested models in the past year.
As an environmentally friendly car testing organization under Euro NCAP, Green NCAP is an organization focusing on new vehicle environment, sustainable development and energy efficiency testing, guiding users to choose more excellent, environmentally friendly, low-carbon and energy-saving products.
The top three ranking models given by Green NCAP are Ora Good Cat, ATTO3 (Yuan PLUS), and Volkswagen ID.5 (ID.4), which also have a good sense of product value and attractiveness in the domestic market.
European consumers pay more attention to environmental protection, which directly makes all PHEV models lose the opportunity to get five-star, because PHEVs still emit a lot of carbon dioxide into the air, compared with the power setting of pure electric EVs, which is more in line with the evaluation mechanism of Green NCAP.
To re-mention a label, Green NCAP is to test environmental protection institutions as the development direction, so in this system, the measurement is actually the low-carbon, environmental protection value of pure electric vehicles.
The main results are divided into three sectors, one is clean air capacity, charging efficiency, greenhouse gas (suppression) index, in these three sectors, European sales of pure electric vehicles have strong scoring ability.
The Tesla Model 3 is the champion model tested in 2022, and the champion model tested this year is the Ora Good Cat.
Compared with models in the same class, the Ora Good Cat has better greenhouse gas (suppression) ability, lower power consumption per 100 kilometers, and its charging efficiency has also reached the limit.
When the charging power is 11kW, the overall efficiency from the grid (charging plug) to the battery output reaches 93.2%, which is already a new record, indicating that Euler Good Cat uses more advanced technology in BMS and battery ends, trying not to waste every kWh of electricity, so that it can ensure the best "comprehensive carbon neutrality" ability.
In 2022, the best models tested by Green NCAP are the Model 3, Dacia Spring (nanobox), and Renault Megane E-Tech (Nissan Ariya's sister car).
In addition to the Model 3, the Nano Box and Nissan Ariya are obviously not competitive in China.
It is not that the product is not strong enough, but China's electrification technology reserves far exceed foreign brands, and Green NCAP's 2023 results have been raised again by Ora Good Cat and ATTO3 (Yuan PLUS) from China.
Judging from the transformation of test results in two years, Chinese brands have made significant progress in electrification, environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction, and have been recognized in parts of Europe, as well as recognized and praised by Europe's strict authorities.
Electrification is not as simple as throwing away the engine and gearbox and replacing them with motors and battery packs.
Indeed, the manufacturing threshold of electric vehicles has become lower, but if you want to make achievements in the market segment, the difficulty has not decreased, and the success of Ora Good Cat represents a victory for China's boutique electric vehicles to break through.
The Chinese passenger car market is in great need of 100,000-150,000 electrified products, requiring long battery life, fast charging speed, high safety performance, of course, these advantages must be based on excellent safety.
In the report card of Green NCAP, the air cleanliness index Euler good cat received 10 points of praise, and not long ago, in the car emperor summer test, Euler good cat after 4 hours of exposure to the hot sun, the formaldehyde content was only 0.12/cubic meter, far lower than the same price model, ensuring the safety of cockpit air.
When we take this European report card and return to look at the Chinese consumer market.
Ora Good Cat represents not only a major success of Great Wall in technology, safety, ideology and environmental protection concepts, but also the ability of Chinese industries to quickly reverse the past unfavorable situation in the global electrification market.
In the future, the penetration rate of electrification will continue to grow, and mastering the core technology can not only completely impress consumers in products, but also establish China's own technical barriers, and reverse strong restrictions on foreign brands.
Therefore, not only in the Chinese market, foreign brands have shown a sense of weakness, but in the future electrification route, the sense of weakness of overseas foreign brands will also increase.
