What is the future development direction of electric vehicles? On the one hand, it must be that the sense of science and technology is getting higher and higher, but with the enhancement of the sense of science and technology, the first of the new cars will also rise, so the future will be developed in the direction of low **.
Some friends believe that electric vehicles will vigorously develop solid-state batteries in the future, and the cost of solid-state batteries will decrease, so the best of electric vehicles will naturally become more affordable. It is undeniable that although solid-state batteries have many advantages, they still cannot be mass-produced, and the technology has not developed by leaps and bounds. At present, unless disruptive technology occurs, solid-state batteries will not have the capacity to be mass-produced in the next 3-5 years.
Unexpectedly, in mid-January, a new battery was born, and it was a sodium-ion battery. The so-called sodium-ion battery is a typical cheap power battery, compared with the same volume of lithium iron phosphate batteries, it is 30% cheaper, and the sodium-ion battery can better avoid the problem of shrinkage of the tram in winter, and the charging and discharging speed is relatively fast. However, sodium-ion batteries have a natural disadvantage, that is, the range is often short, so they can only be installed in some low-cost electric cars. But there is no doubt that with the reduction of **, this new sodium-ion battery is still relatively subversive.
Recently, an electric vehicle equipped with a sodium-ion battery was officially launched, and this model is JAC's Sihaohua Fairy. The lithium iron phosphate battery that the Si Haohua Fairy was equipped with before, the price was above 50,000 yuan, and with the launch of the new sodium-ion battery, the new car is expected to decline further, or fall to less than 40,000 yuan, or lower.
The exterior and interior of the Sihao Flower Fairy are not much worth introducing, and the power battery used is the first sodium-ion battery mass-produced by electric vehicles in China, and the pure electric range has shrunk, reaching about 230km. But the safety and cost of the new car have become better. According to the manufacturer's promotional materials, mass-produced sodium-ion batteries will "never" be **.
Strictly speaking, the current Hua Si Hao Hua Fairy is a micro electric vehicle, which does not have much product competitiveness in itself, and I personally think that even if it is equipped with sodium ions, it is difficult to make a big difference in the market. However, there is no doubt that the mass production of this new battery will definitely encourage more car companies to launch ** lower electric vehicles.
In fact, not only JAC has entered the sodium-ion power battery, but BYD has also established a sodium-ion production base in Xuzhou. With the real mass production of the battery, it is very likely that BYD Auto's products within 100,000 will use sodium ions, so I think it will not be long before some of BYD's new cars will take the initiative to lower their prices. Then a situation will be formed, low-** trams will use sodium-ion batteries, medium and high models will use blade batteries, and new cars will further enhance their strength.
