According to China Engineering Automotive Network, on December 18, BYD held the "More Than Fast, Almighty Evolution - BYD Full Scenario Efficient Charging Technology Communication Conference" in Beijing, which comprehensively demonstrated BYD's performance in different stages of the development of new energy vehicles. Continuously launch solutions that are more in line with the needs of new energy users and charging national conditions, and continue to lead the innovation process of charging technology.
In the early days of the development of new energy vehicles, the industry generally faced the "three noes" pain point: no charging technology, no charging facilities, and no charging standards. In order to solve these problems, BYD took the lead in achieving a breakthrough in charging technology from 0 to 1, and independently developed AC and DC charging technologies for household and public use, providing a reference template for national standard AC and DC charging standards, and becoming the first batch of new energy vehicles in China. Charging standard drafting unit.
It snowed for two days and a cold wave hit. Topics such as being careful about turning on heaters and slow charging queues in winter are heating up, and car owners are once again faced with winter troubles. How to explain the discount on charging efficiency in northern winter? BYD continues to invest in technological innovation and R&D just to allow users to enjoy a leap in charging experience.
Three major pain points, all in one place
In 2023, sales of new energy vehicles will nearly double. As one of the "seven new infrastructures", whether charging pile construction can catch up with the rapid development of new energy stocks in 2023 is a question worth exploring.
Faced with the three major pain points in the market, BYD technology has dealt with them all.
Pain point 1: In the embryonic stage (2006-2008), charging efficiency is low
At the full-scenario efficient charging technology communication meeting, BYD mentioned the 800V high-voltage platform and boost charging technology. In 2015, BYD launched the world's first 800V high-voltage platform for passenger cars, which can accelerate to 100 kilometers in as fast as 4 seconds, have a pure electric cruising range of up to 450km, and increase fast charging power to 60kW, improving user experience in all aspects.
At the same time, BYD has pioneered the world's first boost charging technology, which is completely compatible with vehicle piles and fully adapts to all DC charging piles.
Pain point two: In the integration stage (2009-2015), charging is not fast enough
At the full-scenario efficient charging technology communication meeting, BYD mentioned the world's first dual-gun overcharging technology for passenger cars. This technology can greatly increase charging speed and rationally utilize idle charging resources. Taking Denza N7 as an example, the charging power of a single gun is 150kW, and the charging power of a double gun can reach 230kW. It can charge 350 kilometers in 15 minutes at a public fast charging pile.
Secondly, BYD is the world's first composite direct cooling technology. Through the design of direct cold plates on the upper and lower sides of the battery, as well as 2 sets of independent refrigerant control systems, a compensated flow channel design is carried out. The battery cooling area is increased by 100%, and the heat exchange capacity is improved. More than 85%, ensuring the safety of overcharging.
Pain point three: Growth stage (2016-2023), it is difficult to charge for the winter
At the all-scenario efficient charging technology communication meeting, BYD mentioned the world's first all-scenario intelligent pulse self-heating technology. Currently, the anxiety over winter for new energy vehicles has not diminished, with battery life discounted and charging delayed. The full-scenario intelligent pulse self-heating technology enables cold car fast charging at extremely low temperatures for the first time in the industry. Not only can it self-heat when charging, but it can also intelligently activate self-heating technology during parking and driving to ensure the performance of the entire vehicle at extremely low temperatures.
has a technical fish pond to achieve in-depth layout and lead the new energy era. BYD is also a pioneer and benchmark in the charging market.
The battle is fierce, and we can win together
"In the next three to five years, the new energy automobile industry will enter a period of change, and the pace of change will become faster in the later stages." In Wang Chuanfu's view, BYD is in the best period in history, and he is confident Get a larger market share. Next, BYD will use its existing technology, cost, products, industrial chain and other advantages to further optimize its brand image and lead China's new energy vehicle industry to the world.
At this time, BYD needs partners.
In March 2022, Shell and BYD signed a global strategic cooperation agreement to jointly promote energy transformation. Shell will provide membership services to BYD's individual and commercial customers, covering more than 275,000 charging terminals on its charging roaming network. The two parties will also jointly develop fleet solutions and exclusive charging services for BYD's customers in Europe.
In April 2023, Shell will deliver 100,000 co-branded platinum member charging cards to BYD’s new energy car owners in Europe. Users who obtain the cards will have the right to use more than 300,000 Shell charging terminals in Europe, thus greatly Improved charging experience for BYD European car owners.
In September 2023, Shell's world's largest new energy vehicle charging station officially opened in Shenzhen. It is operated by Shenzhen Shell BYD Electric Vehicle Investment Co., Ltd., a joint venture established by Shell and BYD. A total of 258 public fast charging terminals are configured. During the trial operation, more than 3,300 cars were charged every day.
Ke Yifan, Executive Vice President of Global Retail and Mobility at Shell Group, said, "The opening of the Shell Shenzhen Airport Charging Station is a strong demonstration of our commitment to meeting the changing travel needs of Chinese customers. Chinese customers are looking for fast, convenient and comfortable Charging experience, and Shell meets their needs, so our charging station utilization rate in China has reached 2 to 3 times the Chinese industry average."
BYD Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu said, "Shell is the world's leading energy company The company, with business service outlets all over the world, has made outstanding contributions to meeting people's growing energy needs. We are willing to seize the historical opportunities of the development of new energy vehicles and provide consumers with high-quality services in charging facilities, new energy vehicle consumption, etc. service experience, creating broad development space."
Market coverage, worth looking forward to
In 2006, BYD built Shenzhen's first electric vehicle charging station at its headquarters in Shenzhen;
In 2008, the first centralized charging station in China was built during the Beijing Olympics , which can meet the power battery charging needs of 50 pure electric buses;
In 2009, the Shanghai Caoxi electric vehicle charging station was built, which is the first electric vehicle charging station with commercial operation functions in China;
In 2010, the State Grid Corporation of China Tangshan Nanhu The charging station was completed and put into operation. It is my country's first charging station with a typical design of the State Grid;
In 2020, China has built a total of 42,000 charging stations and 1.42 million charging piles of various types. The vehicle-to-pile ratio is approximately 3.1:1. It has been completed The world's largest charging network has been established;
In 2023, the increase in charging infrastructure will be 3.054 million units, and new energy vehicle sales will be 8.304 million units. Charging infrastructure and new energy vehicles will continue to grow rapidly. The incremental ratio of piles to vehicles is 1:2.7, and the construction of charging infrastructure can basically meet the rapid development of new energy vehicles.
It is worth noting that in the early stages of charging pile construction, the "temptation" of government support policies and subsidies attracted a large number of companies to rush into the charging pile market and blindly expand.
On the one hand, the initial construction of charging piles requires high capital costs. Charging equipment is the main cost of charging piles, accounting for 93%. In charging equipment, charging modules are the core and main cost source, accounting for 50%. The core IGBT components of the charging module mainly rely on imports, which is one of the reasons for the high cost.
On the other hand, in order to seize market share, early-stage charging pile companies engaged in price wars and promoted their growth through subsidies and preferential activities, resulting in a high-cost, low-income operating model. The gross profit margin is not high, and charging pile companies have insufficient profitability, which is also one of the reasons for losses. For
to achieve a true breakthrough, two major aspects cannot be ignored.
1. Eliminate the difficulty of charging charging piles entering communities. It is necessary to accelerate the promotion of fixed parking space charging infrastructure in existing residential areas, install as many facilities as possible, and encourage the construction of public charging infrastructure in residential areas.
2. Optimize the layout of charging piles. It is necessary to speed up the filling of shortcomings in road network charging infrastructure between key cities, expand the coverage of highway network charging infrastructure, and create an intercity charging network that effectively meets the needs of new energy vehicles for medium- and long-distance travel.
In 2023, the new energy vehicle market will expand rapidly. This means that both automobile manufacturers and end consumers have put forward greater demand for charging. Profit comes first, and major companies are trying to solve the "charging difficulty".
