Before Beidian could discuss the collective price reduction promotion with other car companies, Daqin Electric Vehicles preemptively started to reduce prices. Large advertisements were published in newspapers everywhere, which read: In order to thank new and old customers for their care, Daqin Electric Vehicles
The price of the car will be reduced by 10% to reward customers. When you purchase a car at any sales store, you will receive a 100-meter charging cable, a smart charging protector, etc., so that car owners can use various convenient facilities to charge their cars.
The biggest obstacle to the promotion of electric vehicles is the charging problem. Daqin Automobile uses supercapacitors as energy storage devices. Theoretically, the charging speed of the capacitors is not limited. It is completely possible to fully charge a set of capacitors in one minute or several minutes.
Possibly, the charging speed is completely comparable to the refueling speed.
But in fact, such a charging speed is impossible to achieve if it is not at a special charging station. An electric vehicle with a driving range of more than 500 kilometers needs to store no less than 50 kilowatt-hours of electricity in its energy storage unit. If you want to
To charge 50 kilowatt hours of electricity within 1 minute, the power of the circuit must reach more than 3,000 kilowatts, which is more than 100 times the power that ordinary household meters can withstand.
The principle of the electric vehicle charging station designed by Daqin Group is to use several groups of supercapacitors to store electricity. When there are no cars charging, the capacitor groups continuously obtain electric energy from the power grid and store it. When a car comes to charge, the charging station
The station does not draw power directly from the grid, but supplies power to the car from a capacitor bank that stores a large amount of electrical energy. This can achieve extremely high charging power without causing surge impact on the municipal power grid.
After the plan to build charging stations in very large cities such as Linshui was blocked, Daqin Group changed its thinking and chose a path of surrounding the cities with rural areas. Daqin Group's business personnel began to go to second- and third-tier cities to lobby local governments to support the construction of charging stations.
It is impossible for Beidian and Anshi to exert influence on all cities. In places beyond Beidian and Ansh's reach, charging stations have begun to be established one after another to provide charging services for electric vehicle owners.
For places where there are not enough charging stations, Daqin Group's sales staff take the initiative to design charging solutions for car owners. Some of them pull a cable from the user's home to the door to charge the car; some use roadside shops to provide paid charging services.
. This kind of household charging service naturally cannot consider the issue of charging efficiency. Daqin Group provides car owners with a dedicated charging protector. The charging power is controlled within the range that the household circuit can withstand. Of course, a full charge
The time to assemble the supercapacitor had to be extended from a few minutes to several hours.
Even so, electric vehicles still have a strong appeal to consumers. The power consumption of an electric vehicle per 100 kilometers is only a few 10 kilowatt hours, which is 50 or 6 yuan based on the electricity price of 40 cents per kilowatt hour. And for the same mileage,
Even the most fuel-efficient fuel vehicle requires six or seven liters of gasoline, which costs more than 20 yuan. The price difference of more than ten yuan per 100 kilometers is not a small amount. This alone is enough to make consumers willing
No more inconveniences caused by charging.
It sounds like it takes a few hours to charge each time, but it is not unbearable in fact. Generally, if you just drive to and from get off work, the 500 kilometers of cruising range is enough to run for more than half a month. Take out one every half month There is nothing special about charging at different times. You can charge it at night, plug it in after get off work, unplug it and drive the car the next morning. And it can be used continuously for more than ten days, so what is the inconvenience? ?
At first, only a few trendy users purchased electric vehicles. But soon, the demonstration effect of these users was revealed. In an era when automatic transmission fuel vehicles were still very rare, electric vehicles can achieve continuously variable speeds, which greatly
It reduces the difficulty of driving and is especially praised by female drivers. In more than half of Chinese families, the female owner holds the financial power. Electric vehicles have won the favor of female drivers and are naturally invincible.
The governments of big cities such as Jingcheng, Pujiang, and Linshui are under great pressure. Seeing that electric vehicles are becoming popular in second- and third-tier cities, how can residents in big cities still sit still? Unlike small and medium-sized cities, there are many residents in big cities
We all live in high-rise buildings, and it is unrealistic to pull a cable from your home to charge your car. In addition, there are no charging stations in the city. This leads to residents in these big cities who want to buy electric cars but are unable to solve the problem of charging.
question.
Opinions are more concentrated in the city's taxi industry. Taxi drivers are the most sensitive to fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. They travel four to five hundred kilometers a day, and it costs more than 100 yuan just to burn fuel.
If you can replace taxis with electric vehicles, the cost of this part will be reduced by more than 70%, and you can save two to three thousand yuan in fuel consumption per month. What a huge benefit!
All kinds of complaints came from all walks of life, and soon spread to government officials. Li Dongyuan was walking in the corridor of the city hall, and he could faintly hear a cadre in an office complaining about the lack of local charging stations.
The problem, everyone is saying, is that the facilities and conditions of Linshui City are actually not as good as those of the districts and counties below. Without charging stations, you cannot buy electric cars. In this era, if you buy a car or a traditional fuel car, you
Are you embarrassed to say that you have good taste?
"It's really not going to work if this goes on."
At the municipal government office meeting, Li Dongyuan relayed what he heard to the city leaders, and then expressed emotion.
Before Li Dongyuan finished speaking, a deputy mayor named Luo Rongchun immediately took over: "Yes, I am also aware of this problem. To be honest, my wife was whispering to me about buying a car two days ago.
She said that her cousin in her hometown bought an electric car, which is fuel-efficient, easy to drive, and stylish in appearance. But we can’t find a charging place in Linshui City, and the car is a waste. She also said that I am the deputy mayor.
"We should speak for the people and build hundreds of charging stations near the water. What's wrong?"
"Charging stations..." Another deputy mayor named Zhou Fuyou sneered, "At the beginning, Daqin Group said it was willing to build 2,000 charging stations for us free of charge, but the result..."
"Lao Luo, Lao Zhou, the city has set the tone on the charging station, and you all know it." Mayor Liang Jinquan coughed lightly and reminded.
"Of course I know." Zhou Fuyou said, "To put it bluntly, isn't Beidian thinking that Daqin has robbed their market and is using our hands to stumbling Daqin? Beidian just opened his mouth and lost nothing.
.We are so stupid that we act like gunslingers for others, causing our own people to complain, and all the conflicts are directed at our city government."
"We are not doing this for the sake of Beidian. The leaders of the province have also said hello to us," Liang Jinquan defended.
Luo Rongchun said: "Mayor, I think what Lao Zhou said makes sense. In fact, the provincial leaders just looked at Beidian's old face and said casually. We have delayed it for so long, so we can be considered worthy of Beidian.
.Electric cars are indeed a good thing, and people like them. If we continue to drag it out like this, the complaints will definitely get bigger and bigger."
"Oh, what are we mortals getting involved in when gods fight?" Zhou Fuyou muttered.
"Old Zhou, you can't say that." Li Dongyuan said, "The Daqin Group itself has its own shortcomings. Beidian still has a great influence in the central government. If we don't stand by Beidian now,
On the other hand, I might be passive in the future."
"What's the point of being passive?" Zhou Fuyou frowned and said, "For the sake of a few charging stations, the central government can erase our achievements in Linshui? Speaking of which, Beidian is the one who is most at fault in this matter. Technically
If you can't compete with the Daqin Group, it's really despicable to use this method to stumble you."
"Okay, okay, the problem of Beidian is not what we need to worry about." Liang Jinquan tried to smooth things over, "Since the public has opinions about the charging station, we'd better treat it with caution. Let's do this, Dongyuan, you let Ji
The commission should do some preparatory work first, including site selection, power grid adjustment, etc., and let the news out to calm the public's discussion. As for when to start construction, I think we can wait a little longer, and there is no way the higher-ups will give unlimited instructions.
If you keep dragging it on, there will eventually be a result."
Just as he was talking, Wang Xuemei, deputy director of the Municipal Government Office, gently opened the door and came in. She walked to Liang Jinquan, leaned down, and whispered a few words to Liang Jinquan. Liang Jinquan was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and said to Li Dongyuan
: "Dongyuan, you and Xuemei go there. Two people from the Haidong garrison came and said they have something to discuss with the leader in charge of urban construction."
Li Dongyuan followed Wang Xuemei to the small conference room, and he saw two soldiers sitting in the room waiting for him. The leader of them looked to be about 30 years old. He was carrying two bars and two stars on his shoulders. When he saw Li Dongyuan come in
, he stood up, took the initiative to reach out to Li Dongyuan, and introduced himself: "Mayor Li, hello, I am Feng Tianlei, deputy chief of staff of a certain division stationed in Haidong, and I have been ordered to come to discuss the construction of military facilities with Linshui City.
"
"Deputy Chief of Staff Feng, welcome." Li Dongyuan shook hands with Feng Tianlei, asked Feng Tianlei to sit down, and then said: "Supporting national defense is the responsibility of our local government. I don't know what Deputy Chief of Staff Feng is going to talk about this time.
Facilities, what kind of work do we need to do?”
"What I want to talk about is very simple. Our ministry recently received a batch of new equipment, some of which are powered by supercapacitor banks. In order to ensure the operation of this batch of equipment, the Military Commission requires us to build a batch of charging stations locally.
Among them, the number of charging stations to be built in Linshui City is 300, and I hope Mayor Li can support it." Feng Tianlei said seriously. (To be continued...)
