In the new energy vehicle market, China's power is rising. However, Izumi Kawaishi, president of Japan's new car company, recently released a wild statement, believing that China's electric vehicles have no technical surprises. In his view, although the development speed of Chinese electric car manufacturers is "strong", in terms of information technology, "just like arranging the icons of smartphones, there are no technical surprises at present". As soon as this remark came out, netizens expressed disbelief. So, is there a technical surprise for China's electric vehicles?
First, let's take a look at Izumi's remarks. In an interview with the media, he said: "In the field of electric vehicles, I think China really attaches great importance to intellectual property rights and is working hard to develop them. But from a technology perspective, China's EV companies haven't had much surprising innovation. They're just arranging the mobile app icons on the car. ”
This sentence seems to imply that Chinese electric vehicle companies lack breakthroughs in technology, and simply transplant mobile phone operation to cars. However, is this view correct?
In fact, Chinese electric vehicle companies have made a lot of progress in technology. For example, China's new energy vehicles have significantly improved battery range, charging speed and safety. In addition, Chinese electric vehicle companies are also actively exploring and innovating in the fields of autonomous driving and Internet of Vehicles.
Of course, we cannot ignore the problem of arranging mobile phone APP icons on the car machine mentioned by Chuanxi Quan. Indeed, with the popularity of smart phones, many Chinese electric vehicle companies have connected mobile apps with cars to facilitate users to control cars through mobile phones. However, this does not mean that Chinese electric vehicle companies do not have technical content, but this connection method takes advantage of the high intelligence and popularity of smart phones, bringing new development opportunities for the automotive industry.
In addition, we cannot ignore China's overall advantages in the new energy vehicle industry chain. China has a huge new energy vehicle market and a complete industrial chain, which provides a good environment and support for technological innovation. At the same time, the Chinese government has also issued a series of support policies in the field of new energy vehicles, encouraging enterprises to increase investment in research and development and technological innovation.
For Chuanxiquan's remarks, netizens expressed disbelief. Some netizens said: "Although Chinese electric vehicle companies have not made disruptive innovations like Tesla, they have also greatly improved their technology and quality. Another netizen pointed out: "China's electric vehicle companies have made great progress in intelligence, cruising range, etc., and the price is relatively close to the people, which is more suitable for the needs of consumers." ”
In general, although Chuanxiquan's remarks have had a certain impact on China's electric vehicle industry to some extent, we should also see the efforts and achievements of Chinese electric vehicle companies in technological innovation and the overall advantages of the industrial chain. At the same time, we should also maintain an open mind to view different views and remarks to promote the common development of the global new energy vehicle industry.
