AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/22 Report--

After Li Bin, chairman of Xilai Automobile, said bluntly, "I don't understand why people still buy oil cars", Shen Hui, chairman of Weima Automobile, also said on Weibo that "traditional oil cars can not go back."

"traditional oil trucks can't go back," Shen Hui posted on his personal Weibo on the evening of Dec. 21. In Shen Hui's view, traditional oil trucks and intelligent pure electric cars should not be completely opposed to each other, but they can't go back if they can't go back. In this regard, Shen Hui also enumerated a number of views to express his views.

Shen Hui said that 1. The thermal efficiency of the internal combustion engine can not meet the needs of the development of a low-carbon society, which is the most important reason why oil trucks have been replaced. Therefore, electrification has become the optimal solution of travel freedom in the future. Just as cars replace carriages, the trend of history is irreversible and cars have entered the next era. 2. The essential properties of oil cars and trams are both walking instead of walking, which are indelible. But the rapid catapult response of the tram at the start, the slippery bumps without the need to shift gears, and the quieter NVH features. This is all the fun that oil trucks can't give. 3. Smarter human-car interaction and smarter scenario solutions. Intelligent pure electric vehicles are evolving from mobile tools to travel partners. It's like getting used to smartphones today, and you don't want to go back to the 2G era when color screens cost extra.

Shen Hui believes that "intelligence + pure electricity + car", each attribute you have to give a better answer than the oil car, in order to pass the historical trend and user experience of the dual choice, and then replace the century-old glory of the traditional oil car.

Of course, Shen Hui's views have also been hotly debated by many netizens. Netizens commented one after another, "so why can your car be heated by diesel", "I really can't go back if there is no electricity on the way", "because the charging posts are waiting in line", "it doesn't matter whether we like smart cars or not," and "smart cars and electric cars are two different things. No one thinks that you are building a smart car." Two hours later, Shen Hui changed "the traditional oil truck can not go back" to "smart car can not go back."

However, for Shen Hui's point of view, Shen Fei, vice president of Lailai Automobile, agreed. It said on Weibo that electric vehicles can be called electric smart cars. Electricity is much cheaper than using oil; power: because of the use of electricity, the acceleration performance is good, and the handling performance is good; Zhi: oil trucks can also be intelligent, but because of electricity, the system is simpler and more thorough; cars: because of electricity, the car is much quieter, and the air conditioner starts up faster in winter; people are worried that electricity is not as convenient as refueling, but the process is improved quickly.

Just a few days ago, Li Bin said of the pricing logic of the ET5, "I don't understand at all. Why do people still buy petrol cars now?" Apart from smelling gasoline, is there anything good about an oil truck? " And said, "We are still very confident and BMW Mercedes-Benz Audi oil car, really can not buy BMW electric car, do not buy BMW oil car." Although this remark is one's own opinion, it is still controversial. Some netizens think that it is trampling on the fuel car. After all, it is still a long way to completely replace the fuel car from the tram.

In this regard, Li Bin made a response in the user group of Xilai. "A few years ago, the recharging infrastructure was really not convenient enough, and there were few good electric vehicles," it said. "now the infrastructure is developing rapidly, and there are many good products to choose from in all price ranges, so it is time to choose electric vehicles. The sharp rise in electric vehicle penetration in China this year also illustrates this trend."

According to the latest data from the Federation of passengers, the retail volume of narrow passenger cars in China from January to November 2021 was 18.041 million, an increase of 6.1 percent over the same period last year, of which 2.514 million were new energy narrow passenger vehicles, an increase of 178.3 percent over the same period last year. It is not difficult to draw two conclusions from the above data, one is that the growth rate of new energy vehicles is indeed very fast, the current is a period of rapid development of new energy vehicles, the total number of new energy vehicles is expected to break through the 3 million mark in 2021. Second, compared with the passenger car market, the sales of new energy passenger cars account for only 13.9%. Although new energy vehicles are growing rapidly, it is impossible to replace the vast traditional passenger car market for decades.

Of course, we have to admit that new energy vehicles are indeed the future development trend of the automobile industry, and the future new energy vehicle market will completely replace the traditional passenger car market. At present, more and more traditional car companies begin to accelerate the development of this market, which is more or less driven by the industry and influenced by policies. Take Toyota as an example. Toyota President Akio Toyoda has repeatedly criticized pure electric vehicles in public, saying that the goal of promoting pure electric vehicles to achieve carbon neutrality is impractical and will deal a devastating blow to the Japanese economy. Not long ago, however, Toyota held a sudden strategy conference, and Akio Toyoda announced that he would spend $35 billion on electric car research in 2030, before the launch of 30 electric vehicles, and Lexus will be fully transformed into an all-electric brand. By 2030, Toyota's new energy vehicles will account for 75% of total sales, and strive to sell 3.5 million vehicles a year. This also marks that Toyota, which has been saying "no" to electric vehicles, has finally bowed its head under the wave of new energy vehicles.

Of course, there is another message worth exploring. As we all know, the rapid development of new energy vehicles is also due to policy support, but according to the regulations previously issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the subsidy for new energy vehicles in 2022 will be reduced by another 30% on the basis of 2021, which means that it will cost more to buy new energy vehicles, and what will be the development trend of the market in a few years' time once the subsidies for new energy vehicles disappear?
