China's cars have succeeded, and solid-state batteries have been officially mass-produced and loaded!

Let me ask you a question, what is the biggest development of electric vehicles in the past two years? Some people say that the intelligent driving assistance system, and some people say that the cruising range has been greatly upgraded. Recently, a domestic car company has taken these two advantages into its bag and has completed mass production.

This car company is SAIC Zhiji, the new car introduced today is called Zhiji L6, which has been publicly unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show some time ago, and the biggest feature is two points, let's take a look.

Zhiji manufacturers claim that this Zhiji L6 is equipped with a production version of a solid-state battery, with a pure electric range of up to 1000km, which is the world's first new car to be truly equipped with a solid-state battery, which not only has a longer range, but also reduces the weight of the battery by about 25% due to the attributes of the solid-state battery, which can effectively reduce energy consumption.

In fact, both Toyota and Nissan have said that solid-state batteries have achieved good results and are about to be mass-produced. However, in the past two years, both Nissan and Toyota have said that the real mass production of solid-state battery projects will be postponed until 2030. The previous solid-state batteries have achieved good results in the laboratory, but only in the laboratory, and if you want to load the solid-state battery into a car, you still have to overcome many difficulties.

The second is intelligence. In fact, in 2023, Zhiji will obtain a L3 autonomous driving license. Since this Zhiji L6 is its real trump card model, the level of intelligent driving can definitely reach the L3 level, as long as the traffic regulations are released, then the real unmanned driving can be quickly realized. Judging from the exterior design of this Zhiji L6, we can find that it is not only equipped with lidar, but also matched with millimeter-wave radar, and there is also a camera on the reflector, and it also has radar waves near the fender, further improving the level of intelligent driving.

Toyota and Nissan have been "entangled" for so long, but they did not expect to be quickly broken by their own brands, which is a major milestone in the history of Chinese automobiles.

Obviously, Zhiji Auto officials were not carried away by the major breakthrough, they said that the cost of the solid-state battery version will definitely be relatively high, so in order to be more down-to-earth, a lithium battery version will also be launched to lower the price. It can be said that the independent brand is actually very pragmatic, on the one hand, it actively invests in the future high-end field, and has made a breakthrough to achieve mass production, but it does not completely bet on solid-state batteries. Although this is the future, the cost is so high that consumers cannot afford to pay on a large scale with real money. After all, for ordinary wage earners, the pure electric endurance of 500-600 kilometers is more than enough, and there is no need to spend more than 100,000 yuan to buy a solid-state battery version, so solid-state batteries must be developed, but it is not the best option at present.

All in all, the investment and technology of domestic brands in electric vehicles is definitely beyond our imagination. It turns out that there is such a voice in the market, that is, Toyota, Nissan through the mass production of solid-state batteries to overtake Chinese electric vehicles, this wish is likely to be dashed.
