Chapter 578 New Energy Vehicles

Pu Junlong reached out, took his coffee cup from the desk, raised his head and took a big sip. When he faced his first girlfriend, he no longer had the same feeling he had at the beginning.

Park Junlong put the coffee cup back to its original position and said: "In today's China, anyone who steps on their domestically produced new energy vehicles will either be regarded as a traitor or a hostile foreign force.

In short, they have brought domestic new energy vehicles to a level of political correctness. This is just like the national justice you told me before. Koreans also regard their country's automobile manufacturing and shipbuilding industries as particularly important. "

Song Enxi stared at him sitting opposite her with burning eyes and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Park Junlong said calmly: "Rising national sentiment is not necessarily a good thing. The number and variety of domestically produced new energy vehicles in China is probably the largest in the world.

Those who work in streaming media took the initiative to build new energy vehicles, but they ran away to the United States and did not dare to return to China. Who made him owe a debt of 223 billion yuan?

However, its new energy vehicle brand has been announced to the outside world, called Faraday Future. A real estate person also took the initiative to build new energy vehicles, but he didn't run away. The father and son were arrested.

This debt is even more, up to 2.5 yuan. The brand of new energy vehicles is called Hengchi. In addition, wine sellers, Wuliangye, air conditioners, Gree, and mobile phone manufacturers Xiaomi... have all invested in the field of new energy vehicles.

As for Huawei, it would be inaccurate to define it as a mobile phone manufacturer. After all, its main business is not mobile phones.

It has not only entered the field of new energy vehicles, but also has certain technical cooperation with many relevant Chinese domestic car manufacturers. Huawei’s new energy vehicle brand is called Wenjie. "

He paused for a moment before continuing: "The WM Motor that I mentioned to you earlier, with a debt of 410 billion yuan, was once called China's new energy company along with Weilai Motors and Xpeng Motors. The Big Three of automobiles.

These new car-making forces have always adopted a model of using losses to offset sales. The way they compete is to continue burning money, but this business model cannot last long.

According to China's "21st Century Business Herald", this is one of China's three major economic newspapers. For every car NIO sells, it loses RMB 11.5.

Xiaopeng's loss for each car sold is RMB 5 to RMB 6. There is also a Chinese new energy vehicle brand called Leapao, which loses more than 4 yuan every time it sells a car.

These are all financial report figures. Then there is a Chinese new energy vehicle company called Li Auto, which is also losing money every year.

It should be the second-ranked new energy vehicle brand in China. As the boss, BYD makes very little profit from the sales of new energy vehicles.

Among all the new energy vehicle brands in China, it is the only one. Very few such as Wuling can achieve profitability, while most of them are in continuous losses. "

Song Enxi understood what he meant and said: "You are not optimistic about the field of new energy vehicles."

Park Junlong said without joking: "From the current perspective, the new energy vehicle market is favored by many people, but personally, I am still cautious in waiting and watching.

For ordinary consumers, one of the biggest selling points of new energy vehicles is that once you buy a car, the cost of maintaining the car will be very low or even non-existent. This is too attractive and tempting for ordinary consumers. For a traditional petrol car, you not only need to buy a car, but you also have to maintain it. As the saying goes, buying a car is easy, but maintaining a car is difficult.

This is nothing more than this. If you drive an economical gasoline-powered car for ten years, all the expenses you spend on maintaining it will add up to the cost of a new car, if not the cost of two new cars.

New energy vehicles offer ordinary consumers a one-time payment, and they can drive them for ten years without any worries. Even if you buy a car with an installment loan, you will have less stress in the future. "

Song Enxi said truthfully: "Many people don't like new energy vehicles. Most of them are because there are few charging stations, they are inconvenient, and they don't have the roaring engine feeling of gasoline vehicles, etc."

Park Junyong pointed out: "There are few charging piles, which is a small problem. As the number of new energy vehicles on the road increases, the number will gradually increase accordingly."

As for the roar of the engine, I feel that this is not an advantage of a gas-powered vehicle, but an obvious shortcoming. I have also driven some brands of new energy vehicles.

I think the quietness of new energy vehicles makes me quite comfortable. Therefore, this is a matter of benevolence and wisdom.

Personally, one of the main reasons why I don’t like new energy vehicles is that they are boring to drive. I believe that rich people don't like it, but prefer to drive powerful gasoline cars.

Ordinary people in the United States also prefer to drive powerful and exciting gasoline cars rather than new energy vehicles.

Of course, for the vast majority of ordinary consumers, they care more about their monthly expenditure on cars. Trams are cheaper than petrol buses, so they will still be happy to choose the former.

Furthermore, new energy vehicles still have cost advantages when used in online ride-hailing or taxi services. If you use a traditional gasoline truck or use gasoline to drive online ride-hailing or taxi services, you won't make much money even if you don't lose money.

Therefore, in the past, professional online ride-hailing or taxi drivers would make certain modifications to their traditional oil trucks so that they could add natural gas.

That is, oil to gas. In this way, the operating cost can be reduced a lot. After all, refilling with gas is cheaper than refueling. Another problem also arises.

This car with gas is obviously not as powerful as a car with gas, especially when going up a slope. As for new energy vehicles, they are even worse and less exciting than gas-filled vehicles.

Only in cities, between cities, especially in big cities, will new energy vehicles not expose their shortcomings.

In terms of environmental protection, new energy vehicles do have advantages that traditional oil vehicles cannot match. Its pollution is less, even closer to zero.

Traditional oil trucks inevitably cause pollution. Take the current urea scare in South Korea as an example. Why is this happening?

Because Korean transport trucks, especially large trucks, generally use diesel, a large amount of liquid urea is needed to neutralize exhaust pollution. Otherwise, it will be substandard in Korea. "
