Without waiting for Beidian to discuss with other car companies about collective price reductions, Daqin Electric Cars started to cut prices preemptively. Large-scale advertisements are published in newspapers everywhere, saying: In order to thank the new and old customers for their care, Daqin Electric Vehicles will reduce the price by 10% to give back to customers, and 100 meters of charging cables, smart charging protectors, etc. will be sent to the sales shops It is convenient for car owners to charge their cars with various convenient facilities.

The biggest obstacle to the promotion of electric vehicles is the charging problem. Daqin Automobile uses supercapacitors as energy storage devices. In theory, the charging speed of capacitors is unlimited. It is completely possible to fill a group of capacitors within one minute or a few minutes. The charging speed can completely match the refueling speed. Comparable.

But in fact, if it is not in a dedicated charging station, such a charging speed cannot be achieved. An electric vehicle with an endurance of more than 500 kilometers needs to store at least 50 kilowatt-hours of energy in its energy storage unit. If you want to charge the 50-degree electricity within 1 minute, the power of the circuit must reach more than 3000 kilowatts, which is more than 100 times the power that ordinary household meters can withstand.

The electric vehicle charging station designed by Daqin Group uses a number of super capacitors to store electricity. When no car is being charged, the capacitor bank continuously draws power from the grid and stores it. When a car comes to charge, the charging station does not directly draw power from the grid, but supplies power to the car from a capacitor bank that stores a large amount of electrical energy. This can achieve very high charging power without generating surges on the municipal grid. Shock.

After the plan to build a charging station in a mega-city such as Linshui was blocked, Daqin Group changed its mind and chose a road that surrounded the city from the countryside. Daqin Group's business staff began to travel to second- and third-tier cities to lobby the local government to support the construction of charging stations. It is impossible for Beidian and Anshi to exert influence on all cities. In those places where Beidian and Anshi are beyond reach, household charging stations have begun to be established. Provides charging services for electric vehicle owners.

For places where there are not enough charging stations, sales staff of Daqin Group take the initiative to design charging solutions for car owners, and some of them pull a cable from the user's home to the door. Charge your car; some use roadside shops to provide paid charging services. Such a household-to-household charging service naturally cannot consider the issue of charging efficiency. Daqin Group provides car owners with a dedicated charging protector to control the charging power within the range that the domestic circuit can withstand. Of course, the time to charge a group of super capacitors has to be extended from minutes to hours.

Even so, electric cars are still very attractive to consumers. The electric power consumption of an electric car for a hundred kilometers is only a few ten degrees, and according to the electricity price of four cents, it is five or six yuan. And the same mileage, even the most fuel-efficient gasoline cars. It also requires six or seven liters of gasoline, which can cost more than 20 yuan. The price difference of more than ten yuan per hundred kilometers is not a small amount. Based on this, it is enough to make consumers willing to bear the inconvenience caused by charging.

It takes a few hours per charge, which may sound troublesome, but in fact it is not intolerable. Generally, if you only drive to and from work, a 500-kilometer range is enough for more than half a month. There is nothing remarkable about taking a period of time every half month to charge. Charging can be done at night, plug in the power after work, and unplug the cable the next morning to drive. And it can be used for more than ten days in a row. What's so inconvenient?

At first, it was just individual trendy users who bought electric cars, but soon. The demonstration effect of these users is shown. In the era when automatic transmission fuel vehicles were still very rare, electric vehicles could achieve stepless speed change, which greatly reduced the difficulty of driving, especially by women drivers. In China's families, more than half of the financial power is controlled by the hostess, and electric cars have won the favor of female drivers, so naturally they are invincible.

The governments of Beijing, Pujiang, Linshui and other big cities have been under great pressure. Seeing that electric vehicles are spreading in second- and third-tier cities, residents in big cities can still sit there. Unlike small and medium cities, many residents of large cities live in high-rise buildings. It is unrealistic to pull a cable from your home to charge your car. Coupled with the fact that charging stations cannot be found in cities, this has led residents in these big cities to buy electric cars but struggle to solve the charging problem.

Opinions are more focused. Is the taxi industry in the city. Taxi drivers are the most sensitive to the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers, they have to run 400 to 500 kilometers a day. It would cost more than 100 yuan to burn oil alone, and if the taxi can be replaced with an electric vehicle, this part of the cost will be reduced by more than 70%. The fuel consumption in a month alone can save two to three thousand yuan, which is huge. interest!

Various complaints arose from all walks of life, and soon spread to government officials. Li Dongyuan was walking in the hallway of the city government, and faintly heard cadres in an office complaining about the lack of a charging station in the local area. Everyone was saying that the facilities of a waterfront city are not as good as the districts and counties below. . Without a charging station, you ca n’t buy an electric car. In this era, if you buy a car or a traditional fuel car, would you say that you have taste?

"It just won't work like this."

At the city government office meeting, Li Dongyuan recounted what he heard to the city leaders, and then sent a sentence of emotion.

Li Dongyuan's voice did not fall, and a deputy mayor named Luo Rongchun immediately took over: "Yeah, I'm aware of this problem too. Don't hide from everyone that my wife talked to me about buying a car two days ago. She said that her cousin bought an electric car, which was fuel-efficient, easy to drive, and stylish in appearance. But we ca n’t find a place to charge in Linshui, and buying a car is also a waste. She also said that I was a deputy mayor. , You should speak for the people. What's wrong with building hundreds of charging stations in Linshui? "

"Charging station ..." Another deputy mayor named Zhou Fuyou sneered, "At first, the Daqin Group of others said that they were willing to build 2,000 charging stations for us for free, and the result ..."

"Lao Luo, Lao Zhou, the charging station was set in the city, and you all know it." Mayor Liang Jinquan coughed and reminded.

"Of course I know." Zhou Fuyou said, "To put it bluntly, isn't it that Beidian feels that Daqin has grabbed their market and used our hand to give Daqin a trip? There is no loss in the mouth of Beidian. . We are good, silly and arrogant, and made our own masses grumble, all contradictions came to our city government. "

"Well, we are not in the face of Beidian, the leaders in the province have also said hello." Liang Jinquan justified.

Luo Rongchun said: "Mayor, I think Lao Zhou has something to say. In fact, the leaders in the province are just looking at the old face of Beidian, and just saying something. We have been dragging on for so long, and they can be considered worthy. "Electric cars are really good, and people like them. We continue to drag this way, and the complaints will definitely grow."

"Well, the gods fight, what are we mortals blindly mixing in." Zhou Fuyou mumbled.

"Lao Zhou, you can't say that." Li Dongyuan said, "The Daqin Group itself has not done well enough. The influence of Beidian in the center is still great. If we don't stand in Beidian now, On the one hand, maybe in the future it will become passive. "

"What's passive?" Zhou Fuyou said with a stubborn neck. "For a few charging stations, the central government can wipe out our achievements in the water. To put it in perspective, it is the North Store that is the most reasonable in this matter. Technically, The competition can't be the Daqin Group, so it's too difficult to make a stumbling block in this way. "

"Okay, well, the problem of Beidian is not something we need to care about." Liang Jinquan rounded the field. "As for the charging station, since the masses have opinions, we should take it seriously. This way, Dongyuan, you let the plan The committee will do some preliminary preparations, including selecting points, adjusting the power grid, and letting the news out to calm down the discussion of the masses. As for when the construction will start, I think we can wait for another time, and the above may not be infinite. If the ground is dragged down, there will always be a result. "

Talking ~ www.readwn.com ~ Wang Xuemei, deputy director of the Municipal Office, pushed the door in gently. She walked to Liang Jinquan's side, leaned down, and whispered with Liang Jinquan. Liang Jinquan froze, raised his head, and said to Li Dongyuan: "Dongyuan, you go with Xuemei. Two people from the Haidong Army came and said there was something to talk to the leader in charge of urban construction."

Li Dongyuan followed Wang Xuemei to the small conference room. Sure enough, he saw two soldiers sitting in the room waiting for him. The leader of it looked like he was 30 years old, carrying two bars and two stars on his shoulders, and saw Li Dongyuan come in. He stood up and offered to extend his hand to Li Dongyuan and introduced himself: "Mayor Li, hello, I am Feng Tianlei, deputy chief of staff of a division in Haidong, and was ordered to discuss military facilities construction with Linshui City. "

"Deputy Chief of Staff Feng, welcome and welcome." Li Dongyuan shook hands with Feng Tianlei, greeting Feng Tianlei to sit down, and then said, "Supporting the national defense cause is the responsibility of our local government. I don't know what Vice Chief of Staff is talking about this time. Facilities, what we need to do. "

"The thing I want to talk about is very simple. Our ministry recently received a batch of new equipment, some of which were powered by super capacitors. In order to ensure the operation of this batch of equipment, the Military Commission asked us to build a number of charging stations locally. Among them, the number of charging stations to be built in Linshui is 300, and I hope Mayor Li can support it. "Feng Tianlei said seriously. (To be continued)
