With the development of Dongfang Electric Power Company, the battery swapping and charging business will spread from Chengdu and Ziyang to other cities, and eventually cover the entire China.
The soil for new energy trams to survive is already there, and the seeds have begun to sprout slowly, waiting to finally grow into fruitful fruits.
By then, it will be able to capture the entire Chinese automobile market and completely drive those joint venture car companies out of China.
Looking down again, the next thing is the building options.
Nowadays, Kyushu Automobile owns more than 200 completed buildings.
Large ones include comprehensive automobile R&D centers, materials laboratories, and super factories that can accommodate thousands of people working in them.
In small buildings, there are only one or two hundred square meters of parts production lines.
In addition to the buildings that have been built, Kyushu Automobile is still expanding and expanding.
Because as long as they continue to develop step by step, new energy electric vehicles will definitely shine. Next, we need to prepare for insufficient production capacity in advance to avoid the situation where consumers want to buy a car but cannot.
"Now that we have the funds, the second Gigafactory to produce Kyushu automobiles will start construction ahead of schedule..."
The pen in Xu Yifan's hand was finally on top of the notebook, recording the company's next development plan and the production factory that needed to be built.
If the first super factory was a test-type factory, the second super factory is a mature solution that changed the shortcomings of the first factory.
It is expected that after completion, it can mass-produce more than 500,000 Jiuzhou Automobile vehicles, maximizing production efficiency and reducing production costs.
The only problem is that the construction cost will be relatively high. The construction cost of a super factory with an annual output of 500,000 units is as high as tens of billions!
"Fortunately, with the production capacity of the first super factory and the rest of Kyushu Auto's products, the monthly profit should be more than one billion, which can meet the construction costs."
In addition to anticipating the upcoming explosion of electric vehicle production capacity in advance, it is also expected that there will be more places where batteries will be used.
For battery replacement, the number of battery packs required is at least 30% more than that for normal production of electric vehicles.
If we want to install battery swap stations on a large scale across the country, the number of batteries required will reach a terrifying amount.
With the current Hengxin Battery Factory, plus the newly built fourth factory, it will take at least ten years to meet national demand.
This time is really too long, and Xu Yifan doesn't want to wait, so he still needs to be prepared to expand production capacity.
And considering that producing too many lithium iron phosphate batteries may cause the price of raw materials to rise.
Sodium-ion battery factories that are lower in cost and less dependent on lithium ore resources must be established in advance after sufficient funds are available, so that they can enter the production process earlier.
Although the second generation of sodium-ion batteries will take a long time to be completed, some preparations can be made in advance.
After thinking about the next building that Kyushu Automobile needed to build, Xu Yifan looked at the next important system panel data.
product.
There is no need to go into too much detail about the products. Nowadays, there are more than fifty kinds of battery products from various models of two-wheeled electric vehicles, four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicles, several Jiuzhou automobiles, and Hengxin Battery Factory, each with different characteristics. function.
"The most important thing is the products that need to be developed and designed next, specifically various styles of cars."
"Today's several Jiuzhou Auto products are still a bit too thin, whether they are the various models of electric buses Mr. Zhou mentioned before, or the Jiuzhou Auto that is more suitable for sale and cheaper.
Mini cars, compact cars, small SUVs, mid-sized SUVs, MPV models, and more models are available for consumers to choose from, which is also a very important factor.
Otherwise, if you originally wanted to buy a new energy vehicle, it would be a pity to choose a model from another brand because you don't like the model. "
“With Kyushu Auto’s current production capacity, which is about 50,000 units per year, it’s not okay to make cars that are too cheap and sell well, and the production capacity cannot keep up, and it’s not okay to make little money.
The price can be slightly lowered on the basis of Jiuzhou Dongting and Jiuzhou Taishan. It is still the same as Jiuzhou West Lake, with the main price being more than 300,000 yuan. In this way, after adding new energy subsidies, the price is more than 200,000 yuan.
At this price, it can attract many consumers who pay attention to power and driving experience. It is the same power system Suzaku Motor of Jiuzhou Dongting. "
"If Jiuzhou Auto has more production capacity later and earns enough profits, vehicle prices can drop again. If the production capacity is sufficient,
"Sigh, it's a pity that most of the vehicle production lines used to manufacture Laotoule are very old. Those joint venture car companies will no longer sell the truly top-notch automobile production lines.
It's okay to use it to produce some Laotoule models, but if it's used on the powerful Jiuzhou Automobile, the production process won't be up to par, and it's afraid it will fall apart. "
“There are also electric buses and buses, electric trucks and other models.
Well, in terms of research and development, it is mainly about the chassis of buses or trucks, which can be used as multi-functional as possible.
In terms of power system, the power system of Suzaku Motor is still sufficient as a power source for electric trucks even if it is used as a bus.
You don’t need to worry too much about this. You just need to predict the number of cars to be produced in the future and ensure that the production capacity of the Suzaku power system is sufficient. "
"In addition, if we need to build new production lines for buses and other models, we may be able to purchase part of the production line and use the production equipment developed by Kyushu Motors for the other part. By combining them, we can break through production capacity faster."
While Xu Yifan was talking, the notebook in front of him contained more and more words about the company's future development plan.
Xu Yifan stopped writing after recording several pages, which were related to the products that Kyushu Automobile needed to develop next.
His eyes moved across the system panel again and landed on the technology items under the products.
Technology, Kyushu Auto now has hundreds of technologies in reserve, including dozens of different technologies for batteries and motors. It is no longer the junk company it was back then without any technology of its own.
The most important thing is that in this option, you can cheat the option of accelerating research and development.
Now that he has some money, Xu Yifan can spend money to speed up research and development!
After looking at the technologies the company had, Xu Yifan turned his attention to the technologies being developed.
"The previously identified important technologies are second-generation engine technology, second-generation sodium-ion battery technology, semi-automatic battery swapping platform, and gasoline-electric hybrid technology."
"Among them, the semi-automatic battery swapping technology was the first to be completed for relatively simple reasons, and then the second-generation self-developed engine technology was also completed a few days ago."
"Only the gasoline-electric hybrid and the second-generation sodium-ion battery are left. The second-generation sodium-ion battery will still take a long time to reach 45% of the research and development progress."
"What's left is gasoline-electric hybrid technology."
"The progress of hybrid vehicle technology has been stuck at 92 for almost a week. It takes 20 million to accelerate with one click."
Xu Yifan concentrated his energy, and the option to confirm R&D acceleration appeared on the system panel.
"After clicking the button, we should be able to complete the technological breakthrough within half a month."
"With a stable and durable engine with good performance and hybrid technology, the first generation of Kyushu Motors hybrid vehicles may be on the agenda."
“If the hybrid car is completed, we can integrate some of the slightly better Laotoule production lines to produce some cheaper hybrid models.
For example, 99,800 compact cars, small SUVs, etc.
Coupled with new energy subsidies, you may be able to buy a hybrid car for only 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, which is quite attractive to the market. "
"It also burns oil, but it has all the advantages of an electric vehicle. It has strong power, no gear shifting delays, a pure electric range of 50 or 120 kilometers, and can be charged with household electricity, etc."
"It is estimated that Kyushu Motors will be able to produce hybrid models early next year."
“It’s also a way to get into the low-end market early.”
“If we want to popularize battery swapping and charging across the country, even with strong official support and subsidies, it won’t be fully covered within three or four years.
This intervening time must also be used well to make ordinary people more accustomed to and aware of the benefits of Kyushu electric vehicles. "
"There are also some middle-aged people's acceptance of new things. Hybrid vehicles can also be used as a good transition vehicle. They are more economical than fuel vehicles. If some people experience the benefits after using them, everyone will be able to accept electric vehicles. Already..."
On Xu Yifan's desk, the notebook is already filled with dense words, which are all things that Kyushu Automobile needs to do next.
“I made money, but it seems I didn’t make any money.”
"After careful calculation, the development of various companies requires money, building new automobile production lines, etc., but there is still a large gap. Even R&D still does not dare to spend money as desired!"
After checking the notebook to make sure there were no errors, Xu Yifan stretched out.
Next, we only need to hold a small meeting with several presidents of the company to arrange things. The presidents who are professionally responsible for company affairs will carry out the work well.
The chairman should behave like a chairman. As the company's division of labor and systems become more and more perfect, Xu Yifan no longer needs to worry about various things in the company like he did at the beginning.
Here, Jiuzhou Automobile Factory is preparing for the next products and production capacity step by step according to Xu Yifan's development plan.
On the other hand, as time goes by, more and more people in Ziyang City and Chengdu City pay attention to the electric vehicles running on the road.
