Rebirth Begins with 7 Million Chapter 424 The Ambition of Rice Auto

This cooperation is beneficial to both parties and can be said to be a win-win cooperation.

DaMi Auto needs a car factory with certain strength to carry out OEM work, and Xingyuan's charging station planning also needs a supplier with stable technology and mature technology.

BYD, on the other hand, can gain a new automobile OEM customer and shares in the charging piles invested by Xingyuan.

With these two relationships, BYD has a basis for mutual cooperation with Xingyuan and DaMi Automobile.

The market for new energy vehicles is huge. As long as everyone wants to avoid it, the two parties will not become competitors in the short term, but will instead be partners who advance and retreat together.

And compared to Rice Auto, BYD's biggest enemy at this stage is naturally Tesla and all other traditional automobile giants preparing to enter the electric vehicle market.

They are much better than Dami, a half-way car manufacturing company.

In the next two days, Luo Fan called Xingyuan's legal department. The two parties simply signed a letter of intent. The specific details of the cooperation, including the allocation of shares in the charging pile company, would need to be discussed later.

However, with the signing of the letter of intent, Xingyuan and BYD can be considered a "family".

During these two days, Mr. Wang also took Luo Fan and Mr. Lei to visit BYD's most important project - the D-series super hybrid electric vehicle.

The production line they went to was BYD's most luxurious V-Tang series.

Luo Fan actually didn't know much about super hybrid technology. Fortunately, Mr. Lei went to study it because he entered the car manufacturing industry.

Mr. Lei gave Luo Fan a popular science guide: "Mr. Luo, the so-called super hybrid technology has appeared as early as 100 years ago.

This technology once competed with fuel vehicles for the market, but the batteries at that time were only lead-acid batteries, which were large in size and weight, had low energy density, and could not be popularized, and ultimately lost to ordinary fuel vehicles.

After the 1980s, battery technology advanced rapidly, and the emergence of nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries allowed Toyota and Honda in the island country to create two different models of hybrid technology based on this.

Toyota uses a planetary gear, while Honda uses a range-extended hybrid.

BYD’s hybrid technology should be similar to Honda’s extended-range hybrid, right?”

Mr. Wang smiled and nodded: "Mr. Lei really loves what he does! He has almost mastered the knowledge of new energy vehicles so quickly."

"Then what is an extended-range hybrid?" Luo Fan then asked.

“The so-called extended-range hybrid means that the motor drives the wheels, and the motor is driven by the battery. The power of the battery comes from an independent engine, and there is no gearbox.

Mr. Luo, you must have driven a car, right? Everyone who has driven a car knows that the fuel consumption of a car is not high at high speeds, but the opposite is true at low speeds. This is because the combustion efficiency is highest when the engine speed is high.

The extended-range hybrid can keep the engine rotating at high speed, so it is very fuel-efficient, and because of the electric drive, the driving experience is also very good.

Honda's hybrid also allows the engine to directly intervene to provide kinetic energy at high speeds.

That’s why Mr. Lei said that BYD’s hybrid principle is similar to Honda’s.”

After listening to Mr. Wang's words, Luo Fan asked tentatively: "Mr. Wang, won't Honda cause trouble for you because of technology patents?"

"Haha! Mr. Luo really has a keen eye. At first, I coughed! Honda did give us trouble, but later we found a way to avoid it.

We deliberately use batteries with greater energy density, so that the battery alone can drive the car for kilometers, which allows people to freely choose the kinetic energy mode.

This battery life is enough for daily use when going to work to buy groceries or traveling nearby. When traveling far away, you can use oil to generate electricity, without any "battery life worries" of pure electric vehicles.

Moreover, our pure electric mode has a longer range than Honda's pure electric mode, and we have a slight advantage in terms of technology, so Honda can no longer use this as an argument."

"So that's it."

"Mr. Luo, you have asked so many questions, are you also optimistic about the hybrid mode?" asked Mr. Wang.

Luo Fan nodded and said: "Yes, it's a pity that hybrid technology is not that easy to implement. Anyone who knows a little bit about the principle can explain it clearly, but whether it can build a car and do it well is another matter."

"Mr. Luo is right, the engine of a fuel vehicle essentially burns gasoline, and it has taken decades for our country to catch up with Western countries.

If it weren't for the rise of electric vehicles, the domestic automobile manufacturing industry would probably have been at the bottom. If you want to overtake in a corner, it would be better to use pure electric vehicles," said Mr. Lei.

To be honest, Luo Fan is really optimistic about BYD's hybrid cars.

In Luo Fan's impression, BYD was developing very well in his previous life. Before his rebirth, he seemed to have heard that BYD was going to completely abandon ordinary fuel vehicles and focus on developing hybrid vehicles.

It is reasonable for BYD to have such great courage, because BYD is at the top of the industry in the battery field.

If there were no Lyon batteries, the only one that could compete with BYD would be Tesla.

In addition, BYD has been researching hybrid vehicles for more than ten years, and its technology and foundation are much stronger than those of traditional car companies.

To put it bluntly, these traditional car companies rely on money to build cars. If they want to have some technical foundation, they need at least five to ten years of technology accumulation.

Therefore, BYD has a natural advantage in this field.

This is one of the reasons why Luo Fan chose to cooperate with BYD.

To put it bluntly, BYD is engaged in hybrid vehicles and Mi Auto is engaged in pure electric vehicles.

It is true that both parties are new energy vehicles, but strictly speaking they do not belong to the same track.

There will be some competition in the subsequent development, but it will not be a life-or-death situation. Both sides can coexist completely.

Now that the charging pile company is mediating, it is entirely possible for Rice and BYD to form a new cooperative relationship.

At that time, wouldn’t it be the best choice for the two companies to join forces to fight against foreign new energy vehicles?

Of course, these are all things for another day. For Rice Auto at this stage, the most important thing is to get the finished product out as soon as possible.

2019 is the first wave of sales peak for Tesla in China. Luo Fan hopes that DaMi Auto can use better quality, more accurate autonomous driving technology, and longer cruising range to completely defeat Tesla and maintain its domestic sales.

In this way, at least normal and discerning Chinese people will not choose Tesla.

Except for sheepdogs.

In his previous life, before his rebirth, Luo Fan discovered that there were more and more shepherd dogs on the Internet, and many of them were given dog food. Luo Fan’s evaluation of such people was: Stop barking in the house, and go out and hug your owner.
