Lead
Solid-state battery is an inevitable trend in the development of new lithium battery materials, which has the characteristics of high energy density, high safety, many cycles, etc., and also has the advantages of environmental friendliness.
Baosteel, a leading steel manufacturing company in mainland China, also announced that it will convert its production capacity to solid-state battery material production capacity.
However, at this time, the mainstream lithium battery companies are silent about their own development plans, why is this?
In fact, after having solid-state batteries, new energy vehicle owners have to worry about which kind of car to buy when buying a car.
So how should the owners of new energy vehicles choose in the development of new energy vehicles over time, whether to wait for the development of new technologies, or to buy new energy vehicles that have now completed the industrial chain in time?
Status quo.
CATL, as a leading enterprise of new energy vehicle manufacturers in mainland China, announced plans to invest 10 billion yuan in 2020 to build "solid-state battery production capacity".
However, in the case of declining preferential policies for new energy vehicles in the mainland, the trend of soaring sales of new energy vehicles has also been limited to a certain extent.
In 2021, the sales of pure electric and plug-in hybrid models fell by 33.6% year-on-year in May, which is also an upward trend in the decline of new energy vehicle sales in mainland China.
In this case, the development of new energy vehicles is somewhat "powerless", especially those new energy models that have not completed the industrial chain.
Since the relationship between the industrial chain has not been completed, it is natural that consumers will be enthusiastic about buying cars in the case of decreasing subsidies.
Therefore, in the context of this industrial development, the production capacity of new energy vehicles is "in short supply", and in order to make new energy vehicles better "develop", mainstream new energy vehicle manufacturers have also stepped up the construction of their own production capacity.
Moreover, if the mainland wants to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2060, new energy vehicles will definitely have "unlimited" development space in the future, so it is a good idea to lay a "foundation" in the field of new energy vehicles.
Baosteel
Although our people will use steel products, how many enterprises have an important position in the mainland steel manufacturing industry?
Moreover, "Baosteel" is estimated to be the "leader" of the mainland's steel manufacturing industry, and it is also the "boss" of the domestic steel industry.
This year, Baosteel announced that it would transform the production capacity of "Baosteel" and convert its production capacity to "solid-state battery materials".
This "transformation" is actually very "timely", because Baosteel's steel production capacity reached 150 million tons last year, and it is still growing at 100 billion.
"Industrial growth" and "industrial transformation" are two completely different things, the growth of the industry only needs to create "consumption scenarios" for new production capacity, and the transformation of the industry must carry out "industrial upgrading" and technological "transformation".
To this end, Baosteel made a "difficult to abandon" decision with reference to the "trend" and "demand" of the development of new energy vehicles in mainland China, and the "aluminum alloy materials" covering an area of 500 acres have been "upgraded" to convert them into "solid-state battery materials" production capacity.
Baosteel's "decision" this time has also allowed Baosteel to enter the field of "high-end products", and the demand for "solid-state battery materials" is still very "huge".
At present, the industrial chain of new energy vehicles in mainland China has not been completely "established", and new energy vehicles also need "parts" for "matching", and Baosteel has also developed a "high nickel cathode" material, which has attracted great attention.
The "energy density" of this "high nickel cathode" material will be "higher" than the "current" one, and it will also reduce the "vehicle cost" of new energy vehicles.
In the process of Baosteel's transformation of production capacity, CATL has also carried out "technological improvements" in terms of "technological processes", and both of them are "important" enterprises in the "new energy field" in the mainland.
Therefore, when both of them occupy a "west", they will be able to increase the production capacity of solid-state batteries to a "new height", and also make new energy vehicles more "suitable" in terms of "price" and "battery energy".
How to choose new energy vehicle owners.
In the eyes of new energy vehicle owners, the "battery" of new energy vehicles is the "lifeblood".
Because the "technology" of mainland new energy vehicles in the "battery" is "ahead" than other "countries", and the "battery" of new energy vehicles is the "core" component of new energy vehicles.
New energy vehicles are not very "professional" in the "battery", generally speaking, only the "battery" of the new energy vehicle needs to be well "maintained" and "maintained".
But for "professional" people, they are more often used to pick the "battery" by the "number of cycles".
The number of cycles is "the number of times the battery can be charged once and can be used", and the "cycle times" of new energy vehicles in mainland China are generally around "2000 times", and the number of cycles is different under different "battery capacity" and "different" "charging methods".
However, in the current new energy vehicles, there is generally a "battery battery health display", and when using new energy vehicles, the "battery health" can be observed whether the "battery" is good, so that it can be judged whether the "battery" is broken.
In the selection of new energy vehicle batteries, "capacity" and "cycle times" are more important, if the "cycle times" of new energy vehicle batteries are not enough, the "battery" will be "scrapped", once the battery is scrapped, the price of the new energy vehicle battery is very "expensive".
When it comes to repairing new energy vehicle batteries, the "price" is also relatively "expensive".
When choosing new energy models, it is also necessary to "compare" with "their".
Today's new energy vehicle owners will definitely be "optimistic" when buying a car, looking at its "charging speed" and "mileage", "service life" and so on.
The battery is the "core electronic device" of new energy vehicles, but it is also one of the "high-priced" elements of new energy vehicles.
