This year, other car companies have taken "800V" as a selling point, while BYD is busy moving towards a new height of 3 million annual sales. Because of the 800V high-voltage charging platform technology, BYD is the grandfather, and it was there eight years ago. Other car companies are now playing BYD's leftovers, and BYD has gone one step further, using the five world's first technologies to solve the charging problem, once again ahead of other car companies.
In the past year or two, the protagonist of the auto market stage is undoubtedly BYD. In 2022, BYD's sales will achieve explosive growth, with 186 sales throughout the year60,000 units, not only defeated the North and South Volkswagen, ended the 40-year monopoly history of the joint venture brand on China's auto market, but also defended the global new energy vehicle sales crown. Entering 2023, BYD's sales momentum has not decreased, with sales as high as 268 in the first 11 months of this year30,000 units. With today's monthly sales of more than 300,000 vehicles, BYD's goal of completing 3 million vehicles this year is like picking up something. As a result, BYD will leap the carp into the dragon gate and rank among the top ten car companies in the world.
The fundamental reason why BYD can achieve comprehensive leadership is that it adheres to long-termism and takes "technology as king, innovation-oriented" as its development concept. With more than 20 years of deep cultivation in the industry, BYD has gradually mastered the core technologies of the whole industry chain of new energy vehicles, such as batteries, motors, electronic controls and vehicle-grade chips, and has blade batteries, DM-i super hybrids, and e-platform 30. A number of "black technologies" such as Yi Sifang and Yun Yuan have realized the independent and controllable industrial chain. With these solid foundations, BYD can become one of the top ten car companies in the world and push Chinese cars to new heights.
BYD has so many technologies that everyone ignores its leading position in charging. Since the beginning of this year, many car companies' new models, especially mid-to-high-end products, have begun to intensively use the "800V platform" as one of the core selling points. In fact, this is all the technology that BYD has long played with. As early as 2009, BYD's pure electric bus K9 adopted a high-voltage schemeIn 2015, BYD launched the world's first 800V high-voltage platform and step-up charging technology for passenger cars, which are installed on the Qin EV and Tang DM modelsIn 2020, BYD launched the second-generation 800V high-voltage platform, which was first used on the Han EV modelIn 2022, BYD upgraded it to the third generation, which will be installed in the seal model.
No publicity does not mean that there is none, not "boasting" does not mean not leading, other car companies are rushing into the 800V high-voltage platform track this year, BYD is the grandfather, and its related technology is at least two or three generations ahead of the industry. Globally, it wasn't until September 2019 that Porsche launched the 800V Taycan for the first time, four years behind. After 2022, models such as Jihu, Xiaopeng, and Audi will keep up with the rhythm, and this year, the 800V of Changan and Wenjie will be late;ZEEKR and the ideal 800V model are still on the way.
Even if it is two or three generations ahead of the industry, BYD's pace has not slowed down. This year, BYD launched the world's first dual-gun fast charging technology for passenger cars, which changed from charging to increasing voltage to increasing current. Of course, the charging voltage is very good, but at present, the supercharging piles on the market are relatively scarce, and the 800V high-voltage charging platform cannot give full play to its full strength. BYD's dual-gun fast charging technology is a more pragmatic solution, which can be compatible with 95% of the country's charging piles and can make use of most public charging resources. The two charging ports are controlled independently, do not interfere with each other, and realize short-term multi-energy replenishment and overcharging everywhere by raising the current.
On this basis, BYD has pioneered the world's first composite direct cooling technology, which advances the most critical thermal management system to the extreme, increasing the cooling area of the battery by 100% and the heat exchange capacity by more than 85%, thereby effectively extending the service life of the battery and making new energy vehicles not only charge quickly, but also charge steadilyAt the same time, BYD also pioneered the world's first full-scene intelligent pulse self-heating technology, which increases the battery heating rate by 230% compared with the traditional solution and reduces the full battery charging time by 30% in an environment of minus 30 degrees, so that car owners in the north are no longer afraid of the cold winter, and fast charging can still be used under extremely cold conditions.
With more than 20 years of technical precipitation and profound heritage, BYD has built a charging technology system that is more in line with the current national conditions. With the 800V platform, booster technology, dual-gun fast charging, composite direct cooling and pulse self-heating, BYD uses these five pioneering technologies to solve the charging problem and establish an insurmountable technical moat in the field of new energy. BYD has always been at the forefront of the industry by promoting the development of the industry with technology and allowing every user to enjoy the beautiful travel experience brought by technological equality.
