As a member of the new force three dragons "Wei Xiaoli", the situation in the recent period is not optimistic, while the sales volume is declining, it continues to lose money, and the stock price is also in the first place, becoming the bottom of the "Wei Xiaoli". In order to reverse the current decline, on December 17, Li Bin, the founder of NIO, personally tested the high-speed endurance performance of NIO's latest semi-solid-state 150-degree battery, and conducted a live broadcast of the whole process, which attracted the attention of the whole network. Does this mean that the range of the tram has surpassed that of the petrol car?
150-degree semi-solid-state battery pack Recently, NIO announced that it had successfully developed a 150-degree semi-solid-state ternary lithium battery, which aroused the market's attention to CATL's stock price. Although CATL has been a leader in battery technology, accounting for half of the current electric vehicle market, the introduction of 150-degree semi-solid-state batteries has undoubtedly posed a certain challenge to it, and many people believe that NIO's technology may pose a threat to it. This may attract some consumers to the NIO brand, which will have an impact on CATL's market share.
As early as NIO Day 2021, NIO announced a 150-degree battery pack, which will be installed on the ET7 model. At that time, the data released by NIO was that the 150-degree battery pack no longer uses the industry's mainstream liquid lithium battery technology, but adopts a solid-liquid hybrid electrolyte, which belongs to solid-state battery technology, which achieves an energy density increase of about 50% and finally achieves a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
This 150-degree battery pack weighs only 20kg more than the 100kWh battery pack, but it is comparable in size and has an energy density of 360wh kg, far exceeding other mainstream lithium batteries on the market, and the cooling capacity is also 6 times stronger than ordinary batteries. The test was successful at 6:30 a.m., starting from Shanghai and finally arriving in Xiamen, with a total mileage of 1044 kilometers and an average energy consumption of only 13 per 100 kilometers2kWh with 3% remaining charge, and it is still expected to travel more than 30 km. This is also the strongest range performance of today's pure electric vehicles.
The success of this test activity marks that the cruising range of intelligent pure electric vehicles has officially entered the era of 1,000 kilometers, completely breaking the "range anxiety" that has plagued electric vehicle users for a long time. However, although the 1000 km range was indeed achieved, during the test, the vehicle basically ran at a speed of 90 km h, and the final average speed was 83 km/h9km/h。
There is some controversy about this point. According to the actual scenario of running at high speed, most people will basically run against the speed limit of 120km h most of the time, while NIO runs 90km h more or less suspicious of tricks, in exchange for longer battery life.
After all, high-speed driving has always been a common problem of electric vehicles, if you run at 120km h for a long time, the energy consumption will be huge, and the power loss will be faster, and NIO lowering the speed will be conducive to better battery life. However, these more than 1,000 kilometers are indeed real high-speed, which is not mixed with urban roads, and it seems really inappropriate to use high-speed scenes to measure the endurance of a car, so the speed of 90 per hour is also reasonable. And during the period, the temperature environment range outside the car is about minus 2 °C to 12 °C, and at this temperature, it is okay to have this endurance performance.
It is of great significance to have a battery life of more than 1,000, but it cannot be popularized Although the outside world is constantly questioning, NIO itself doesn't care at all, after all, this achievement has already occupied the hot search and achieved quite high popularity. In general, NIO's technology has indeed made a breakthrough, and this problem has also been alleviated in today's battery life anxiety of pure electric vehicles.
However, this technology is difficult to popularize in a short period of time, because the cost of a 150-degree battery is too high, and its cost is equivalent to a NIO ET5, so the penetration rate of this battery should not be very high, and it can be regarded as a bright sword of primary technology. In general, NIO's 150-degree semi-solid-state battery technology is a milestone in the development of new energy vehicles, although there may be some discrepancies according to the actual high-speed scenario, but it does give new hope to the battery life of pure electric vehicles, and it will be of great significance if this technology can be popularized on a large scale in the future.
