Chapter 43 Tesla's Ambition
The news of Chensheng Technology's establishment of the wireless charging alliance quickly spread throughout the industry.

As a special caller with a market share of more than 40% in Huaguo charging piles, he received an invitation from Chensheng Technology immediately.

However, relying on its huge market share, the other party did not pay attention to Chensheng Technology, and did not send company representatives to participate in the wireless charging alliance conference.

In other words, as the leader in the charging pile industry, Telecall has its own ambitions to formulate industry standards.

In fact, no matter at home or abroad, every giant whose core business is charging piles is unwilling to cede the power to set standards to others.

This is true for Telephone, and even more so for Tesla.

Yanjing City.

Tesla China headquarters.

Zhu Xiao, as the head of Tesla China, has been under a lot of pressure recently.

First, a company called Chensheng Technology suddenly appeared among the core parts suppliers of new energy vehicles, and the company surpassed all its peers in the field of battery management technology.

You know, when it comes to battery management technology, Tesla has always been number one in the world.

But now, this first title has been taken away by Chensheng Technology. What is even more annoying is that Tesla has to buy the other party's battery management system.

Because its competitors are all using the battery management system of Chensheng Technology, and have been able to achieve a theoretical battery life of 300 kilometers. If they do not follow up, it means that their new car’s battery life will lag behind others by more than [-] kilometers.

The price of a Model 3 is around 30. Compared with BYD, the average price of each car is nearly 70, but the battery life is only [-]% of it.

No matter how blind consumers are, they will not buy Tesla.

Not to mention that after using the battery management system of Chensheng Technology, the charging speed and service life of the battery have been qualitatively improved.

This means that they cannot survive in the market without using each other's battery management system.

No matter how unwilling you are, you have to buy it.

The second thing that worries Zhu Xiao is still related to this Chensheng Technology.

As we all know, in addition to making new energy vehicles, Tesla also has a wide layout in the charging pile industry and has its own charging standards.

It seems that the charging pile business will not bring much profit to Tesla, and will spend a lot of money, but those who have studied it carefully will find that in any city where Tesla has a large number of charging piles, the sales of Tesla cars are far ahead of their peers.

Although charging piles cannot bring profits, they can provide the most powerful support for their new energy vehicle ecology.

This is why they refuse to join the Wireless Charging Alliance and are unwilling to give up their own charging standards.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, they are still unwilling to accept the battery management system.

After all, they are the best company in battery management besides Chensheng Technology.

conference room.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Xiao said in a deep voice: "Everyone has read the documents at the headquarters, let's talk about what we should do next."

"President Zhu,"

As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man said, "We are still not sure whether the wireless charging technology developed by Chensheng Technology is really so magical?"

Zhu Xiao nodded: "You are right in thinking, but since Chensheng Technology has gathered these charging pile operators and established a wireless charging alliance, obviously it will not be thunder and rain, after all, it is meaningless to release smoke bombs , but will make other operators disgusted.”

The crowd nodded.

"So, there is only one possibility, and that is that they really have such advanced wireless charging technology!"

"However, if we just use their technology, it's over. I heard that they are all licensed to operators for free."

Hearing this, Zhu Xiao was also a little helpless.

He spread his hands: "The headquarters does not agree."

All the people present were smart people. Hearing this, he immediately guessed what the headquarters was thinking.

"Does our company still want to compete with Chensheng Technology in battery management technology?"

"Correct!"

Zhu Xiao nodded, "Battery management technology has always been the core technology of our company. Without it, our car sales may still be number one in the world for the time being, but all this is a loft in the sky."

As he said that, Zhu Xiao's face turned ugly.

"Our battery supplier is Panasonic, the battery management system supplier is Chensheng Technology, and the electric drive supplier is Zhongke Precision, let alone those non-core parts. What else does Tesla have?"

Hearing this, everyone's vests felt cold for a while.

Yes, without the core battery management technology, what else does Tesla have?
Is it a new energy vehicle assembly plant?
The question is, if Tesla can do this job, why can't other companies do it?

Or, one day a certain supplier is unhappy and says to cut off the supply for you, so what can you do?
Especially now that the international environment is complicated, no one can guarantee that the sanction of cutting off confession will fall on him one day.

Not only companies in Huaguo are afraid of this, but some companies in the United States are also afraid.

For example, now that Chensheng Technology and Zhongke Precision have directly cut off the supply to Tesla, Tesla's sales have plummeted in less than three months.

This is the terrible thing about not having the core technology in your own hands.

The key point is that Tesla really has nothing to do with Chensheng Technology.

Chensheng Technology's current position in the field of battery management systems is like ASML's in the field of lithography machines.

In summary, it is impossible for Tesla to give up battery management technology, they will only desperately catch up.

And in this process, they must not allow Chensheng Technology to unify the industry standard of charging piles.

Otherwise, even if their battery management technology catches up with Chensheng Technology, they will face failure to adapt to the ecology built by Chensheng Technology and be eliminated by the market.

This is a race to the death.

Tesla cannot and cannot afford to lose.

In fact, what they are most afraid of now is that Chensheng Technology will cut off their supply.

Fortunately, Chensheng Technology seems to be afraid of arousing the fear of other new energy vehicle manufacturers, so it has never used this trick to cut off the big stick.

However, the existence of Chensheng Technology has always been like the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of new energy vehicle manufacturers, making everyone feel timid.

This kind of fear is even more serious than the chip foundry's fear of ASML.

Because as long as the lithography machine is bought back, it can be used for a while at least, and once the battery management system is out of stock, you don’t even want to build a car, or you can only build second-rate new energy vehicles.

But how is Tesla willing to build second-rate cars?They have always been the industry leader in new energy vehicles.
