The company plans to launch two electric vehicles within three years, and the estimated price of the first model will be between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan.

For the group car building, the outside world does not seem to be optimistic. Li Xiang, CEO of Ideal Motors, once bombarded Tuanche for making cars on social platforms, saying that Wen Wei, CEO of Tuanche, is "probably a liar".

Auto Story reported yesterday that Tuanche.com did not issue performance bonuses for all its employees in the second half of last year. After December 30, all employees stayed at home, and the resumption time was undetermined. During the period, there was only a minimum wage of 2,000 yuan per month.

Why does the Ningde era with a market value of trillions want a "revolution of electricity"

On January 18, Ningde Times' wholly-owned subsidiary, Times Electric Service, released the overall solution for combined power exchange.

But capital does not seem to be optimistic about this "revolution of electricity replacement" in the Ningde era. After the announcement of the power exchange strategy, the stock price of CATL fell for two consecutive days, down about 5%.

At present, the input cost of power exchange stations is extremely high, commercial realization is slow, and the battery standards of various companies are not uniform, so it is difficult to achieve unified power exchange.

Although Zeng Yuqun, chairman of Ningde Times, personally "replaced the battery", at the press conference, only the FAW Bestune NAT combination battery replacement version was announced by the Times Electric Service. Zhang Xiang, an independent auto analyst, said that it is difficult for mainstream car companies to accept cooperation in battery swaps.

In the face of the huge challenges in business operations, why does the Ningde era with a market value of trillions have to carry out the "revolution of power replacement"?

At the beginning of this year, LG Energy stated that it will expand production capacity in 6 countries, and said that its global market share will exceed that of Ningde era; BYD is also expanding production in many places in China, and is currently in contact with many car companies; not only that, car companies They are also trying to grasp the core of the battery in their own hands and plan to build their own battery factory.

It is not easy for CATL to keep the number one position. In the past month, CATL’s share price has fallen by more than 15%. Because of this, CATL wants to change.

Only by opening the closed-loop value of the whole life cycle of battery raw materials, battery research and development, manufacturing, use, and recycling can we have the absolute right to speak.

But this will obviously move the "cheese" of car companies.

  • U.S. solid-state battery company raises $200 million, led by Stellantis and Mercedes-Benz
  • Honda Civic Type-R may introduce domestic production in the form of CKD
  • NIO's 800th battery swap station was officially launched at IKEA Hangzhou
  • Toyota Japan plant to stop production further, involving 21 production lines in 11 plants
  • The patent map of the extended version of the Land Rover Defender is exposed, and it will be launched at the end of August
