If someone asks this question, whether they are people in the new energy automobile industry or passers-by, they will all say in unison: "Coal power generation is definitely a backward energy source. How can it be called a new energy source?"
Coal power generation has a history of hundreds of years and produces a lot of pollution and carbon dioxide emissions, so it must be a backward energy source.
But if someone asks again, is the electricity in new energy vehicles a new energy source?
I'm sure most people will answer, yes.
See, people are full of contradictions and paradoxes.
A short video appeared on the big screen at the press conference.
This is not a video shot by Changtian Technology, but a video shot by a popular science video account on Station B.
Among them is a comprehensive evaluation of gasoline and coal power generation.
Taking ordinary gasoline as an example, the calorific value of gasoline is 44,000kj per kilogram.
The current efficiency of fuel vehicle engines is approximately between 25% and 35%. Taking 30% to calculate, each kilogram of gasoline can actually produce 13,200KJ of kinetic energy in the engine of a fuel vehicle.
The calorific value per kilogram of standard coal is 29,270 kilojoules, while thermal power plants generally only have a thermal efficiency of about 35-38%, and the loss of electricity during transmission from power plants to users is generally 6%-10%.
So in fact, the final conversion efficiency of one kilogram of coal into electricity is only about 31 to 35%.
Coupled with the power entering the lithium battery, there is an actual loss of lithium battery performance.
Thank God that 30% of the electricity generated by one kilogram of coal can be used as the kinetic energy of new energy vehicles.
So, are new energy vehicles really new energy?
After this short video, a car from the 1950s appeared.
These two cars were kerosene trucks, carrying a large oil bag on the roof, which was all filled with kerosene.
Chen Xiao joked: "Coal is used as kerosene, and kerosene is used as an energy source and burned directly. The kinetic energy provided to the car may be higher than the kinetic energy provided by using coal to generate electricity and charging the electricity into the battery."
"History will always come back."
The audience burst into laughter.
The new energy vehicle representatives sitting in the front row looked very unhappy.
At the beginning of Changtian Technology's press conference today, it almost smashed the faces of all the current global new energy vehicle brands.
It fundamentally and logically rejects the current new energy vehicle model.
Such an opening is quite exciting.
Many anchors who were live broadcasting were having a great time.
Brother Yan said to the camera: "The opening of the Changtian Technology Cangqiong Automobile Conference was so scary and exciting! Chen Xiao directly criticized the domestic new energy vehicle policy and destroyed the logic of new energy vehicles at this stage.
"
Brother Yan's live broadcast room also became lively, and netizens went crazy.
"Oh my God! Changtian Technology actually compares new energy vehicles with kerosene vehicles from the 1950s!"
"I personally agree with what Chen Xiao just said. The energy of current new energy vehicles comes from electricity, and most of the electricity is thermal power. Most of the thermal power is generated by burning coal, so Chen Xiao's
There are no errors in comparison.”
"I have always wanted to buy a new energy vehicle, but now it seems that new energy vehicles are not new energy!"
"Domestic automobile manufacturing companies hope to break the technical barriers to fuel vehicles in Western and Eastern countries by developing new energy vehicle technology. I can understand this, but they must talk about breaking other people's technical barriers.
I don’t understand new energy and environmental protection.”
"I agree with the above statement. There is a thermal power plant in my hometown. Although environmental protection investigations have been very strict in recent years, and my hometown is also a large thermal power plant, it is polluted after all. Every time I go back, the city is gray.
Various harmful substances must exceed standards, and every year the incidence rate of various cancers in our hometown is much higher than that in surrounding places."
Only when there is controversy can there be topics, and only when there are topics can there be traffic.
Less than an hour after the press conference started, countless media outlets had already made the bombshell thrown by Chen Xiao onto the front page.
On Weibo, topics such as #NEV is equal to coal-fired vehicle immediately became a hot search topic.
The number of discussions on this topic quickly exceeded 10 million, and many Weibo bloggers were discussing this topic, which quickly gained a wave of traffic.
These bloggers lamented that they could make a living by following Changtian Technology.
The press conference site.
Chen Xiao also looked sideways at the photo of the kerosene car.
The reason why he started with this short video today was actually because he had some thoughts in his heart.
Chen Xiao was reborn. Before his rebirth, the global debate on new energy vehicles had never stopped.
In the world before Chen Xiao was reborn, new energy vehicles actually had two branches.
One is lithium battery new energy vehicle technology led by the United States and Xia Guo, and the other is hydrogen energy technology represented by Toyo.
To be fair, hydrogen energy technology, both in terms of environmental protection requirements and energy utilization, is higher than new energy technology based on lithium batteries.
But because this technology is only being developed by Toyo, if it is successfully developed by Toyo, the initiative for new energy vehicles in the future will be firmly in Toyo's hands.
This is definitely not possible.
So you don't know if Xia and Mi have negotiated with each other, or if it's a tacit understanding.
Together, the two parties have brought new energy vehicle technology dominated by lithium batteries to the global new energy vehicle market.
Let Dongyang play his own game.
Commercial technology products and purely scientific research products are not completely equivalent.
For commercial technology products, no matter how advanced your technology is, if there is no market, all your investment will be in vain.
So under this situation, Dongyang suddenly discovered that the entire hydrogen energy technology was only played by itself. Not to mention the high cost, there was no market yet, so it had no choice but to quickly give up on hydrogen energy technology and follow the United States.
, made a lithium battery new energy vehicle.
But after Chen Xiaosheng's rebirth, various countries and consumers around the world have other views on new energy vehicles based on lithium batteries.
The first is lack of power.
Bad weather and unstable war factors have caused global natural gas and coal prices to soar.
This has led to long-term power shortages in Europe, which relies on natural gas and coal to generate electricity.
The power shortage is so severe that many residents are unable to meet their basic needs.
Under this situation, a large number of new energy vehicles cannot find a place to charge, and can only be turned into a coffin box, parked there and unable to move.
On the contrary, fuel vehicles, which have been advocated to be eliminated by Europe, have become emergency means of transportation.
Under this situation, Europe made a 180-degree turn, first gradually marginalizing the Paris Climate Agreement, then encouraging the construction of thermal power stations, and when it became serious, encouraging fuel vehicles and banning electric vehicles from being sold in Europe.
Not only in Europe, but also in Xia Kingdom.
Xia is a country with a large population.
Countries with large populations have relatively few resources per capita.
The same is true in the electric field.
But the natural climate is unpredictable.
We also face severe drought weather from time to time.
This resulted in Shanchuan Province, a major hydropower province, suddenly experiencing a power shortage.
There is a power shortage. In order to ensure the power supply for people's livelihood and some key projects, there is no other way but to impose power restrictions in some commercial areas.
So in the west of Xia Kingdom, something very incredible happened.
Countless new energy vehicles are crawling on the road. New energy taxis and new energy private cars are waiting in long queues at major charging stations, waiting to be charged. In the worst case, they have been waiting for a whole day and night and still have not arrived.
Queuing up for electric vehicle charging does not only occur when there is a power shortage.
Because the cruising range of electric vehicles is limited, and there is currently no better charging technology.
Therefore, even if some charging stations are equipped with fast charging, in some popular tourist attractions or mature highways, and in cities with relatively high car ownership, new energy vehicles will queue up for a long time to charge.
Since then, people’s attitudes towards new energy vehicles have also undergone some changes.
Relevant departments are also hesitant.
Therefore, before Chen Xiao was reborn, the debate on new energy vehicles still did not stop.
And each country does not have a good way to solve the power problem.
At the press conference, Chen Xiao walked to the center of the stage and said: "It is true that the development of new energy vehicles is accompanied by environmentally friendly energy industries in some emerging fields, such as our photovoltaic industry, and our hydropower and wind power."
“But according to the current progress and the people’s demand for electricity, it will take a long time for photovoltaic power generation or hydropower generation to account for more than 70% of people’s electricity consumption, and the cost to be lower than thermal power generation.
path to take.”
"In addition, during the production process of lithium batteries, a large number of ecological pollution problems will also occur."
When Chen Xiao said this, three more videos were played on the big screen behind him.
The first video is from a lithium ore mining site in Australia.
In the lithium ore mines, all the trees in the originally lush mountainous areas have been cut down.
The entire mountain was almost hollowed out, and it was deathly silent and desolate.
All the animals and plants that originally lived here have disappeared, leaving only the roaring machines and the mined ores.
The second video is the lithium battery production workshop.
Lithium batteries can also produce serious pollution during production or recycling.
Lithium batteries are composed of positive electrode powder, negative electrode powder, conductive agent powder, binder powder, electrolyte, organic solution and other components. The cobalt in the positive electrode powder is a toxic metal substance, the organic dispersant is a toxic organic solvent, and the electrolytic
Liquid is the most toxic and corrosive component of lithium batteries and has a direct impact on the human body.
The decomposition or hydrolysis products of lithium batteries are hydrofluoric acid and other fluorine-containing compounds, which are also corrosive and toxic and can damage the surrounding water and soil environment.
These are some videos of regular factories producing lithium batteries.
The third video is a lithium battery recycling video.
Most of the production of lithium batteries are regular manufacturers, but the recycling of lithium batteries is not.
In order to save costs, many recycling plants do not take any environmental protection measures, allowing a large amount of toxic and harmful substances to be discharged into rivers and soil, causing immeasurable losses to the environment.
A line of words was printed on the big screen: "Does this new energy really protect the environment?"
At the press conference, both the audience and netizens watching the live broadcast fell into silence after seeing these three videos.
Only then did everyone realize that behind the shiny new energy, there were actually so many contradictions and unresolved problems.
In the virtual scene.
After a brief silence, many viewers who watched the press conference began a lively discussion.
One netizen stood up very excitedly and said:
“After watching these three videos played at the press conference, I was quite touched.
My family is in a small village in Huxi Province. The largest local industry chain is the recycling and dismantling of power batteries. Almost every household is doing this kind of business. We locals don’t even dare to eat locally grown vegetables and rice because of the lack of land and
All water sources are polluted, and the number of cancer deaths and cancer cases every year is even more terrifying."
"The power battery recycling factories in our villages are all small workshops, and have formed a mature industrial chain. They recycle used power batteries through various channels, directly dismantle and crush the used batteries, and remove the precious metals inside the batteries (
For example, cobalt, lithium) are refined for secondary sales, or they are produced into new batteries through simple processing links and sold directly to car manufacturers."
"These black workshops do not consider issues such as environmental pollution at all. The damage to the ecological environment caused by this kind of dismantling is absolutely irreversible and may be difficult to repair for hundreds or even thousands of years."
"Don't think that some large lithium battery recycling factories have such noble moral integrity. In order to save their own costs and ensure that their environmental protection standards are met, they are very willing to buy recycled heavy metals and raw materials from those black workshops. After all,
The environmental costs and risks were borne by those small workshops, but they themselves were clean."
This netizen's speech was very fierce because the beautiful mountain village where he grew up has changed beyond recognition in recent years.
Moreover, many of his relatives suffered from cancer because of such work, and some even died.
Perhaps to prove that his statement is correct.
This netizen immediately posted photos of his hometown on Weibo and Chat.
Black workshops that illegally dismantle lithium batteries are absolutely not allowed to exist and will be severely punished by law.
But people often take risks for the sake of profit.
Moreover, this kind of collective crime in one village has really caused a headache for the relevant departments.
At the press conference, Chen Xiao said seriously:
"Based on the above reasons, the Cangqiong car built by Changtian Technology will never use lithium batteries."
"We must find a new energy and new energy vehicle that is suitable for the long-term development of the country and convenient for the people to use."
“So we launched Sky Cars!”
At this moment, the staff drove the Cangqiong A01 car from a distance.
The scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.
