The topic of Xiaomi's car building should have been raised by netizens at the earliest, because everyone couldn't afford smartphones before, and it was Xiaomi that knocked down the ** at that time. So now that people's quality of life has improved, and they want to be able to drive their own cars, they asked Lei Jun to build cars. But at today's Xiaomi automotive technology conference, Lei Jun bluntly said that he wanted 9It is impossible to sell Xiaomi cars from 90,000 yuan, after all, the benchmarks of Xiaomi cars are now Porsche and Tesla, and everyone still has to respect technology. However, one thing is certain, Xiaomi cars will be a great value for money this time.
Lei Jun spoke for three hours at the press conference, in which he talked about the key word "patent" for unknown words. Indeed, in three years, more than 1,000 days and nights, thousands of people in the Xiaomi car team are doing such a thing - "innovation". And in terms of R&D investment, Xiaomi spent 10 billion yuan to build a car, and other brands invested more than one billion yuan to build a car, so when it comes to innovation, Xiaomi has really grasped it.
For example, Tesla's large die-casting technology at the beginning has now been overtaken by Xiaomi. In 2020, Tesla took the lead in using 6,000 tons of large die-casting to synthesize 70 parts into one, which is of great significance for cars. After all, the fewer parts, the less likely the car is to deform in the event of a collision, which can better protect the safety of passengers. Because of safety-related, even though the research and development of large die-casting technology is difficult and costly, Xiaomi is still determined to develop it by itself. So after more than two years of hard work, Xiaomi finally achieved 9,100 tons of large die-casting.
In terms of battery, Xiaomi Auto uses an 800V silicon carbide high-voltage platform, with the highest voltage reaching 871V and a volume conversion rate of up to 778%, the world's first. In addition, the biggest problem of the battery of the tram appears in winter, especially in the extremely cold winter in the north, in order to solve the problem that the battery life is affected by the extreme cold temperature, Xiaomi has launched a high-efficiency dual-mode heat pump and three heat source step-by-step heating technology to ensure the battery life at low temperatures.
It can be said that the research and development of Xiaomi cars this time is indeed very powerful, and this press conference can be described as a slap in the face of those who are not optimistic about Xiaomi's car makers. However, Xiaomi is not proud of this, Xiaomi knows that it still has a long way to go in the automotive industry, and must always maintain a sense of awe.
