This also leads to the fact that Xinghan 001's power consumption per 100 kilometers is likely to exceed 10kWh. It would be good if the endurance level under comprehensive road conditions can be between 520 and 580 kilometers, which can also reach the scope of a normal A-class car.
Of course, Stardust Technology cannot completely solve the problem of battery life discounts for new energy vehicles.
As long as batteries whose raw materials are mainly lithium are used, the discount problem on Xinghan 001 can only be solved through some external insulation methods, such as the battery temperature control technology that has been used on Xinghan Mini.
It will get a new reflection on Xinghan 001, ensuring that the battery life level will not be reduced too much in extremely cold and hot weather. As long as the battery life can reach more than 20% off, there will not be too many complaints.
Chen Zifan remembers an extreme cold weather test. Among the new energy vehicle camp, the one with the highest range attainment rate was only 60% to 30% off, or even less than 30% off.
But that is because of peer comparison, and because everyone has generally accepted the shortcomings of new energy vehicles, there is no such strong criticism. However, there are many consumers who give up on new energy vehicles for this reason.
Haicheng itself belongs to the northern region, and Xinghan Zhixing is China's "founding brand" of new energy vehicles. If the first new energy vehicle comes out and breaks its battery life, all previous efforts may be in vain.
Not many people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands to buy a new energy vehicle with a long range. Xinghan Mini has achieved certain success. Xinghan 001 only needs to do what it should do well and don't play word games.
False battery life standard? Then when it is released, the price should be smaller, the battery should be enlarged, a temperature management system should be used, and a kinetic energy recovery device should be installed so that it can generate electricity while driving.
As for other configurations, Xinghan 001 is very similar to Changan Deep Blue SL03, with a single rear motor, frameless doors, hatchback design, suspended tail wing, hidden electric door handles, panoramic canopy, head-up display...
In other words, it is a smaller Xinghan 01, but it does not have the ultra-luxurious and technological configurations of the Xinghan 01. It is an all-round and comprehensive practical A-class car, and the comfort has reached a new level.
For example, front seats are heated, front seats are ventilated, 6-way electric seats for the driver and passenger, 12 speakers exclusively provided by the Stardust ecological chain, in-car wifi, dual-zone air conditioning, in-car air purification, fragrance system, etc.
Listing down the large and small configurations, Xinghan 001 can not only dominate the family sedan that costs about 200,000 yuan, but also beat most products in the same price range. If you pursue "brand", that is another matter.
Reactor configuration has always been Chen Zifan's specialty. The purpose of producing Xinghan 001 is the same as that of Xinghan Mini, which is to continue to build new energy vehicles with a long lifespan and continue to use violent methods to directly enter the market.
Didn’t you say that Xinghan Mini is just a “toy car”? Then let everyone see what a serious "new energy vehicle" is, use the idea of building a mobile phone to build a car, and then use mobile phones to break the traditional inherent concepts.
Compared with mobile phones, the brand recognition and prejudice of cars are more difficult to eliminate. A salesperson of a luxury car brand once said: "Other manufacturers have large central control screens? Oh~ They use central control screens because their brands are not good."
He also said that "the more high-end models are designed to be simpler for safety reasons", when their cars were also equipped with central control screens, they started to boast: "This is the XX system we independently developed..."
Chen Zifan was initially amused when he heard the salesman say this. But later he discovered that many people really thought so and had double standards when it came to domestic and imported brands.
Imported cars are equipped with large sofas and large color TVs in the car... Oh ~ those are the configurations that luxury brands should have! What? Do you get motion sickness while watching TV in a car? That's my problem.
A domestic new energy vehicle installed a few more screens in the car and used it as a promotional selling point... Did you cut corners on the chassis? No airbag? Can't handle the shock absorption? Is that why you advertise that you have a lot of screens?
Do you get motion sickness while watching TV in a car? What garbage truck? The screen must be a defective product! For a flashy configuration, it would be better to remove the screen and save tens of thousands of yuan...
Xinghan 001 is not equipped with so many screens, but the size of the central control screen is not small, reaching 14.8 inches, which is equivalent to the screen size of a laptop, but the physical buttons should be retained.
Chen Zifan is not afraid of being criticized by some consumers. It doesn't matter. Some people will like the product and some will not like it. People often say they like XX brand just because its cars are expensive enough.
So what they really like is the wealth represented by the car, the face represented by the brand, or the car itself? I'm afraid even they themselves don't know this.
There is another purpose for Xinghan 001's crazy configuration: if Xinghan mini focuses on "personality", then Xinghan 001, Xinghan 01, Xinghan 009 and other models focus on "technology" to make up for shortcomings.
It’s a very simple reason. When you launch Xinghan Mini, you can flaunt yourself as a person who has personality and pursue uniqueness. When you launch Xinghan 001, you can flaunt yourself as a person who pursues cutting-edge technology products.
This is another way for Chen Zifan to fight against the "face concept" of traditional brands. At the same time, it is also making up for the shortcomings of Xinghan Zhixing's short establishment time and insufficient brand influence, and instilling new concepts in users.
And if it is a mediocre new energy vehicle like the Polestar
After Mo Shaokun and others analyzed the Xinghan 001 files brought by Chen Zifan, they raised a practical question: "...these configurations are definitely no problem with the help of Stardust Technology, but with such rich configurations, the launch of Xinghan 001 The uncertainty over time will be even greater…”
Chen Zifan nodded. This was what he expected. Changan Deep Blue was in an era where resources could be directly integrated and the necessary technologies were available. Many configurations on Xinghan 001 had to be developed by Stardust Technology.
For example, the head-up display function is different from the head-up display used on airplanes. The technology used is peeled off from the "projector" being developed by Stardust Technology and uses the principle of optical reflection.
Important information such as speed and navigation is projected onto the semi-transparent mirror on the windshield, making it clearly visible even in bright light scenes.
"Don't worry about technical issues. I will make special arrangements. There is no need to be too anxious about the launch time of Xinghan 001. Just push forward normally. We must polish all the details of Xinghan 001..."
No matter how high the configuration of a new energy vehicle is, it is still a car, and the driving experience is the most important. Fortunately, Mo Shaokun and others also know this. The materials used in the frame alone are better than those of the Polestar X. How much.
Regarding Polestar X and Polestar G, Chen Zifan did not forget to remind him before leaving: “The sooner we can ensure the quality of Polestar It’s also very important!”
Although Polestar X is aimed at the taxi industry in Haicheng, if the market feedback is good, the configuration and appearance may be slightly changed, and Polestar Automobile will release a new model worth 80,000 to 100,000 yuan. Version.
With 420 battery life + fast charging and a landing price of around 100,000, it is still very popular in Haicheng and surrounding cities, especially Haicheng, where current charging stations and charging piles have achieved basic coverage in the urban area.
The fast charging power of official charging piles can reach a maximum of 120kWh/hour, and the fast charging power of Xinghan brand charging piles is even higher, 30kWh/hour. In fact, they can withstand greater power, but no matter how large it is, it is not necessary.
Safety issues also need to be considered. Unfortunately, there are charging piles now, but there are still no cars. There is a chance that the Polestar
Nowadays, in Haicheng, we can often see all kinds of Xinghan Minis running on the road. There are only a few original models. When everyone buys them, they think:
"Hey, I can just buy an original car. How beautiful is the original car? Why do you do all those bells and whistles?"
After buying and picking up the car, I saw that the cars of the same model running on the road were more stylish than the others, and they would be modified more or less. If you can't afford it, you can go to Xinghan Zhixing or Xingchen Mall APP to buy some prints of your own.
You can also go to Xinghan Direct Store to find someone to help you apply it, and they also provide vehicle management registration services. However, the price will be more expensive, but it is still within the affordable range.
The price is second, and the most important thing is to save trouble. The probability of Xinghan mini being checked on the road is very high. Those modified by Xinghan directly-operated stores are better, and they have been specially registered. If you modify it yourself, you will have to pay a fine.
After several losses, everyone has learned the wisdom. Instead of modifying the car privately at the risk of paying fines, it is better to let the Xinghan direct-operated store make some money. After all, this is one of the main profits of Xinghan Zhixing.
After enjoying a wave of advertising benefits from the Beijing Olympics, not only Stardust mobile phones have taken off, but Xinghan mini is also gaining increasing attention. At the same time, Xinghan Zhixing is also preparing to build Xinghan direct-operated stores in more cities.
Let’s start with the five big cities around Haicheng, and then gradually move to relatively smaller cities. However, it is impossible for other cities to build so many charging stations and charging piles like Haicheng.
On August 9, the Beijing Olympic Games kicked off in full swing. Major TV stations and news outlets were constantly reporting on the Olympic Games. There were more and more shots of Xinghan Mini and Stardust mobile phones appearing, and their products became more and more popular.
The shot of Xinghan Mini running around with its mascot and five rings attracted the attention of countless consumers. For a time, the number of orders at Xinghan directly-operated stores increased sharply, and there were even users who came to Haicheng to order cars.
In this regard, Xinghan Zhixing naturally accepts all comers. As long as the money is available, it can drive a semi-trailer to deliver Xinghan Mini to the doorstep. On August 9th and 10th, orders for Xinghan Mini exceeded 2,000 units.
Fortunately, the number of Xinghan directly-operated stores has now increased to 30. If there were only 5 like two months ago, there would be no way to cope with so many orders.
There are also invitations from many cities to join Xinghan Zhixing, and there are also many people who want to join Xinghan Zhixing 4S authorized stores. However, Xinghan Zhixing will not follow the development model of Stardust Technology. They will only operate direct stores.
This is also to ensure the service quality of Xinghan directly-operated stores and continue to promote Xinghan mini modification services. The development speed may be slower, but once it develops, Xinghan Zhixing's reputation will be very good.
The development model of Xinghan Zhixing has also allowed many people to smell business opportunities and feel the future of new energy vehicles. The minds of powerful people have become active.
new energy vehicles?
Others are not interested, but LeTV’s boss Jia is very interested. While building mobile phones, TVs, and playing with the Internet, he is also planning an ultra-luxury new energy vehicle brand called “Faraday Future.”
It has been competing against Ferrari, Maybach, and Rolls-Royce... I have to say that Boss Jia is quite confident.
Some niche car manufacturers are also paying attention to the new energy vehicle pie and want to come in and test the waters.
This is exactly what Chen Zifan meant. Stardust New Energy specializes in the production of lithium batteries and motors for new energy vehicles and was worried about lack of orders. These niche car manufacturers came to the door and wanted to try cooperation.
"Traditional cars can't compete with those few car manufacturers. New energy cars now only include Xinghan Zhixing, and at most there will be the newly established Polestar Motors. Isn't this an opportunity for us manufacturers!"
Some well-known brands may have a development history of nearly a hundred years or even hundreds of years. The engine technology has already achieved a monopoly, and the patents have been divided up. They are just wage earners.
Joining the new energy vehicle camp is also a wage earner, but the new energy vehicle camp has one advantage. Everyone is starting from the same starting point, and the chance of the brand developing is much greater, and as long as it can develop...
When the time comes, they will develop their own batteries... Forget about batteries, at least so far they cannot see the possibility of surpassing Stardust New Energy, but motor technology can, and there is not only one type of motor.
They have studied Xinghan mini's 2196 motor and Fengying-Zhanhuo's 1084 motor, but the level is still at a very basic stage. Based on this kind of motor, more high-end motors can be derived.
As long as you have your own motor technology, it doesn't matter whether you have battery technology or not. You can just buy ready-made ones. Even if you can't develop them, you can still specialize in branding and services and become a happy assembly factory.
You can also not enter the automotive field and specialize in some niche products, such as new energy forklifts, weeding trucks, mini trucks, etc. At present, Haicheng has the best environment for developing new energy products, so it is naturally the first choice.
As a result, Haicheng successfully ushered in the peak period for the presence of automobile manufacturers during the period when the Beijing Olympics was held. The so-called first-come-first-served approach was to win over Stardust New Energy first, and then consider other matters.
At the same time~
The news that Xinghan Mini will soon be able to be equipped with fast charging was also revealed by some whistleblowers. The news about Xinghan Mini being able to be equipped with fast charging immediately became popular on the Stardust Forum. The most important thing is the price of the installation:
"It only costs 4,000 yuan! You can upgrade Xinghan mini to fast charging! According to the data released by the laboratory, after installing fast charging, Xinghan mini can charge the battery from 0 to 100 in only 30 to 50 minutes!"
