Ban or eliminate fuel vehicles
** He once emphasized that the development of literature and art should respect the law, absorb excellent culture, and serve the people. This view is also instructive on the issue of banning the sale of fuel vehicles. At present, the European Union has announced a ban on the sale of fuel vehicles in 2035, and many domestic car companies have also announced a timetable for stopping sales.
However, there is a strong voice in China against the ban on the sale of fuel vehicles, and there is a huge group of owners who like fuel vehicles, and electric vehicles still have advantages in terms of battery life and stability. Will fuel vehicles be phased out?
This will take time to verify.
The ban on fuel vehicles may lead to an unhealthy direction in the market, with insufficient market competition and damage to consumer interests. The technological development and infrastructure construction of fuel vehicles are more sufficient, and new energy vehicles still need better solutions and products in terms of range, charging and safety.
If the choice of fuel vehicles disappears, the pricing of electric vehicles may rise further, and at the same time, used fuel vehicles** may skyrocket, and demand will outstrip supply. In addition, without the competition of the strong group of fuel vehicles, electric vehicles may be more unscrupulous in terms of pricing and software service charges.
Although the voice of electric vehicles is very large, the current fuel vehicle group still occupies the mainstream, and the group that likes fuel vehicles also accounts for a considerable part. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider the impact of the ban on the sale of fuel vehicles. ”
The differences between China and the West determine that we need to have our own development strategies and considerations. Environmental protection, consumer demand and open market competition are issues that we need to consider in many aspects.
This may be a comprehensive issue involving the adjustment of energy structure, the establishment of energy system, infrastructure construction, transportation system and other links. We need to take a multi-route approach that allows for multiple energy types to coexist.
In China, banning the sale of fuel vehicles will be more beneficial to electric vehicle manufacturers, because it is more difficult to compete with fuel vehicles in the market. Letting policy help might make it happen sooner.
For example, Huawei's Yu Chengdong said at a forum that extended-range electric vehicles are very suitable as the family's first car, and it is recommended to eliminate pure fuel vehicles as soon as possible. His remarks attracted the attention of a large number of netizens, suggesting that 4G mobile phones should also be eliminated.
Fuel vehicles are still popular among consumers in China, and their market share should not be underestimated. Despite the excellent performance of electric vehicle brands such as Tesla, gasoline car giants such as Toyota and Volkswagen sold as many as 10 million and 8 million units respectively last year, far exceeding Tesla's 930,000 units.
In September this year, BYD led the sales ranking of domestic joint venture cars, and the sales of Volkswagen and Toyota also increased significantly. This shows that although the electric vehicle market is growing rapidly, the consumer group of the fuel vehicle market is still huge.
Fuel vehicles are functional machines, and market elimination is the most reasonable choice If the sale of fuel vehicles is forcibly banned, it is equivalent to depriving the market of fair competition, so that consumers are forced to accept new energy vehicles without a choice.
In this way, consumers lose the right to choose the market and cannot choose the products that are more suitable for them. In fact, there is a lot of debate between fuel vehicles and electric vehicles in terms of experience and pros and cons, and different users have different preferences and needs.
Therefore, fuel vehicles should not die from the ban, but from the elimination of the market. This is like when Apple launched the iPhone, Jobs did not suggest that everyone eliminate feature phones, but let consumers make their own choices through the subversive product itself.
Similarly, Apple's launch of AirPods is also through product advantages and market verification, allowing the market to eliminate wired headphones. In general, fuel vehicles, as functional machines, should be eliminated by the market, which is the most reasonable choice.
When we talk about the advantages and disadvantages of automobiles, it is often easy to ignore a basic cognitive law, that is, whether a product is excellent or not, should not only focus on its development trend, but should be measured by the market and the product itself, and let consumers judge for themselves.
We can't blindly sing about fuel vehicles because the electric vehicle industry is thriving in China, nor can we reject fuel vehicles because there are no fuel car giants like Volkswagen and Toyota.
After all, fuel vehicles also have their own unique advantages, such as precision mechanical manufacturing and top-of-the-line component manufacturing processes. Our nation has always been good at absorbing and learning from the excellent culture of other nations, and the automobile industry is no exception.
We need to learn and learn from the advantages of fuel vehicles to improve the overall manufacturing level and product quality of domestic vehicles. Fuel vehicle manufacturing involves sophisticated process technology, which has a high threshold, and we cannot ignore this.
The endurance, service life, energy replenishment speed and safety quality brought by the precision manufacturing process and mechanical parts process of fuel vehicles make people feel more secure, which is also an important reason why electric vehicles have been developing for many years but still occupy a huge market.
Although the development of electric vehicles is getting faster and faster, we cannot ignore the value of fuel vehicles in precision process technology. Banning the sale of fuel vehicles and vigorously developing electric vehicles is not a simple choice of technical routes, but a comprehensive issue involving multiple interests and market demand.
The market will make its own choices and weed out outdated products. We should put more pressure on new energy vehicle companies to create products that are powerful and disruptive enough.
Only by means of market competition can we be more competitive in the cruel market environment, and we will be more confident in the competitive highland of globalization.
Therefore, from the perspective of the comprehensive competitiveness of the industry, it is better to let the market eliminate fuel vehicles than to ban the sale of fuel vehicles, and the market will eventually make a choice that conforms to the trend of the times.
