Recently, Xiaopeng founder he Xiaopeng said in an interview with the media: "the vast majority of people who have driven smart electric cars will not get used to driving fuel cars, and the two experiences are completely different." He Xiaopeng said frankly that the first car in life was the Lexus. He liked it very much and was "very quiet and great." but when the era of electric cars came, he say Goodbye with it. Later, he sold the Lexus to a friend who went out to dinner with this friend a few years ago and drove it again. I felt that I was no longer used to it.

Compared with fuel cars, electric cars do have certain advantages, such as quieter driving, faster response and higher intelligence. He Xiaopeng expresses his views on electric cars and fuel cars through his own experience. what's more, there's nothing wrong with being the boss of an electric car company, at least much milder than Li Bin's previous remarks.

On the 2021 NIO Day, the Xilai ET5 officially launched the new car aimed at the market where the Tesla Model 3 and the traditional luxury BMW 3-Series are located. Qin Lihong, co-founder of NIO, said: as we replace the mainstream high-end fuel cars, we hope that Lulai should be raised to this level and turn the BBA pattern into the NBA pattern.

At the media car owners' communication meeting after the press conference, Li Bin mentioned the pricing logic of ET5, "I don't understand at all, why do people still buy gas cars now?" Apart from smelling gasoline, is there anything good about an oil truck? " And said, "there is charging anxiety, basically gasoline car users worry about electric cars." Li Bin's remarks were recorded on video by people at the scene and posted on the Internet to cause heated discussion. Some netizens thought that this was trampling on the owners of fuel vehicles. Although new energy vehicles are developing rapidly nowadays, there is still a long way to go to completely replace fuel vehicles, especially in terms of battery life and charging.

Since then, in a media interview, Li Bin publicly responded to the controversy: in fact, my original intention is that the products of electric vehicles have become more and more abundant in the past two years, and there are good products in different price ranges. In addition, more and more infrastructure has been built, not only as NIO's own charging stations, but also third-party companies such as the State Grid, Star charging, Special calls and other third-party companies, the infrastructure is more and more widely spread, and many places where electric cars cannot go can now go, and we have also deployed many of these destination charging routes this year. I think there are fewer and fewer places to worry about buying an electric car today compared with a few years ago.

Li Bin said bluntly that it may be a bit shocking because he cut off that section, but I still hope that when you buy a car, you will consider electric vehicles. New energy vehicles do have many advantages, but of course they also have some disadvantages. It is impossible to have only advantages and disadvantages, but I think the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China has reached more than 20% in 2021 and only 5% at the end of 2020. It shows that more and more consumers realize the benefits of new energy vehicles and electric vehicles. Of course, this is indeed controversial, and some words have led to misunderstanding, but on the whole, I think there are more and more reasons to buy electric cars.

While Li Bin's comments are controversial, a number of executives of new power companies have also expressed similar remarks. Shen Hui, chairman of Weimar Automobile, shouted on Weibo that "the traditional oil truck can not go back." 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. 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.

For Shen Hui's point of view, Shen Fei, vice president of NIO 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.

How popular are new energy vehicles? According to the China Automobile Association, sales of new energy vehicles will reach 34-3.6 million in 2021, far exceeding the 2.4 million expected at the beginning of the year. Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the Federation of passengers, believes that the sales of 4.8 million new energy passenger vehicles are expected to be adjusted to 5.5 million in 2022, with the penetration rate of new energy passenger vehicles reaching about 25%. The penetration rate of new energy vehicles is expected to exceed 6 million, and the penetration rate of new energy vehicles is about 22%. Three years ahead of schedule, we have achieved the country's previous goal of "20 per cent penetration of new energy vehicles by 2025".

2021 is the first year of the great development of new energy vehicles, and 2022 will be a watershed for the new energy vehicle industry. By 2023, subsidies for new energy vehicles will completely decline, and the new energy vehicle market may usher in a "reshuffle". Brands with core technology may be able to come to the end, while car companies that are already difficult to develop or do not have a strong sense of existence may have a survival crisis. For new energy vehicle enterprises, they must be prepared to face more fierce competition. No matter the subsidy slopes or the market competition intensifies, they will be forced to improve their product strength.
