Seeing that new energy vehicles cannot compete with Chinese car companies, the United States and the West have remembered the external measures of suppression, and want to prevent the rise of China's electric vehicle industry in the name of "overcapacity". Last year, car companies represented by BYD continued to seize the market with rapid development, and successfully ranked first in the world's electric vehicle sales.
At the beginning of this year, after BYD launched the "oil is lower than electricity" Glory Edition new car launch storm, the sales of joint venture brand fuel vehicles plummeted, and other electric car brands followed up, and it was difficult to see joint venture cars in the sales ranking of cars within 200,000. And, judging from the sales volume in the past few months, it is a foregone conclusion that new energy will replace fuel.
According to the latest data released by the Passenger Association, the terminal sales of joint venture fuel vehicles in March can be described as a rout, especially for Japanese brands, in China's tram brands, FAW Feng ranked ninth, and all the others fell out of the top ten, such as GAC Toyota, GAC Honda, Dongfeng Honda and Dongfeng Nissan, etc., can only be called the bottom of the list.
In early April, the new energy penetration rate reached 50.39%, in fact, this data is 2.5 months earlier than BYD Wang Chuanfu's prediction at the "China Electric Vehicle 100 Forum" in March that "the penetration rate of new energy in the next three months has exceeded 50%".
I have to say that Wang Chuanfu's first battle in the New Year was too beautiful, and he announced that "electricity is lower than oil", and more than 10 platforms of "glory models" were launched that year, directly making all the voices below 200,000 belong to Chinese tram brands.
Some people say that you can not buy BYD, but you have to thank BYD for buying an electric car this year. In fact, people who buy fuel cars this year have officially become a minority.
As the first company in the industry to announce the discontinuation of fuel vehicles, BYD keenly sensed the coming node of the inflection point. From 2005 to 2015, it took 10 years for China's new energy vehicles to penetrate 1%, from 2016 to 2019 in three years, it increased to 5%, and from 2020 to 2024, in more than 4 years, it directly exceeded 50%.
Crossing the 50% mark is a significant sign of the mainland's green transportation transition. It has increased tenfold in five years, and achieved 50% of the national planning target 11 years ahead of schedule. This is what the United States and Western countries are most worried about, losing their oil hegemony, unable to use oil to force China to make concessions, and unable to influence international relations through oil control.
In terms of electricity, which is all China's specialty, they have not been able to curb China's clean energy development, which means that they are completely lagging behind in the field of electric vehicles. What makes them even more desperate is that they don't even have a complete electric vehicle industry chain now. The traditional automotive industry has not yet been successfully transformed, and the R&D of new technology giants has been abandoned, and there is darkness in front of us.
Behind the rapid rise of today's domestic cars is the result of accumulation. In fact, BYD Wang Chuanfu also announced that "the first half of electrification, the second half of intelligence", which means that China's electric vehicles will lead the world trend in the future.
In fact, the decline of Japanese joint venture fuel is only the beginning, and Korean and French cars, which were once in the limelight, have long been reduced to niche brands, and European and American automobiles have gradually depressed under the onslaught of new energy.
The current fuel vehicle market can be described as extremely depressed, dealers have closed their doors one after another, and it is not uncommon to see news that they can't get a car after paying money and that after-sales service is not guaranteed. More directly, fuel second-hand cars are bleak, the value retention rate has declined, the price of second-hand cars has collapsed, and second-hand car dealers are miserable.
Everyone understands that new energy vehicles rely on the technology generation gap to form a "technical suppression" on fuel vehicles, and completely change the service form. The power, safety, comfort, and silence of electric vehicles are not a little bit stronger than those of fuel vehicles.
Moreover, there are many power paths for electric vehicles, such as "plug-in hybrid", which integrates the functions of fuel, plug-in, range extension, and pure electric. After the price barrier is broken, it is difficult for fuel vehicles to fight back. BYD's fifth-generation DM-i hybrid technology is said to be able to last 2,000 kilometers with full fuel and full power, and the fuel consumption of the feed has been reduced to 2.9 liters/100 kilometers.
There is no doubt that new energy vehicles will replace fuel vehicles at a faster speed, whether it is electrification or intelligence, Chinese car companies will be far ahead.
Once consumers experience electric vehicles, they will never go back to the past, because the innovation and experience of electric vehicles cannot be given by fuel vehicles, and with the in-depth research and development and accumulation of experience, car companies will iterate to more excellent models. More prospective car owners will also list electric vehicles as their first choice after experiencing them.
The improvement path of traditional fuel vehicles has reached a bottleneck, while new energy vehicles not only have a longer-term future. The "sickle" of China's electric vehicles has completely cut off the roots of the European, American, Japanese and South Korean auto giants, and they can't win and can't get pitted.
Of course, the competition in the future is still very fierce, and European and American countries have begun to attack Chinese car companies, but we don't have to worry too much, only if we are a little stronger, they can only sigh.
Electric vehicle companies represented by BYD are not only based in China, but also widely explore overseas markets, and have achieved good results in recent years.
In the face of a market like the United States, which is "closed to the rest of the country", they chose to bypass and achieved better results in emerging markets. In a few years, they will have to beg us to buy it.
