Fast Technology reported on March 5 that NIO held its fourth quarter and annual results meeting for 2023 today.
Li Bin, founder and chairman of NIO, said that new energy vehicles have solved the problem of charging speed and capacity in the past, and the next step is to solve the problem of battery life.
In fact, we have done a lot of research in the past few years, and we will also do some exchanges with the market recently, battery life is a problem that the entire smart electric vehicle industry, including range extension, including plug-in hybrids, has to face. ”
He believes that the warranty in the industry is 8 years, about 100,000 kilometers, but the service life of a car is 15 years, if you want to get a healthy battery, it will cost **10,000 yuan, the automotive industry must have a solution to such a thing, and it is an ultimate (ultimate) plan, so this is why NIO has the idea of battery replacement from the beginning.
It is understood that the cost of power batteries accounts for 40-60% of new energy vehicles, and the excessively high battery replacement costs have brought heavy economic pressure to consumers, and also made consumers more cautious about buying electric vehicles.
