The last time BYD had a crisis, it was because BYD's environmentally friendly electric motorcycles couldn't make money. This time, the root cause of BYD's crisis was indeed because environmentally friendly electric motorcycles were so profitable that all their peers were jealous and going crazy.
BYD's environment-friendly electric motorcycles have gained momentum when it launched a new environment-friendly heavy-duty electric motorcycle, which has dominated all motorcycle events in the whole meter. Finally, it had to be driven out of the stadium directly and set rules. Electric motorcycles are never allowed to participate in motorcycle competitions.
The reason why environmental friendly electric motorcycles began to occupy the whole motorcycle market is a traffic rule of the American government.
I don't know if you still remember that at the beginning of this year, boss Jia and Wang Chuanfu rode along the street on an environmentally friendly electric motorcycle, and then encountered a compulsory competition of motorcycle groups. Finally, the police forcibly terminated the competition because both sides drove into the main road.
Finally, the police will do it. The fundamental reason is that according to the provisions of American law, civil motorcycles are not allowed to drive on busy main roads except motorcycles used by the police.
The reason for such a law is very simple, because it is very dangerous. There have been many motorcycle and car collisions in history, resulting in motorcycle drivers falling down and then directly falling to death.
Compared with automobile traffic accidents, the death rate of motorcycle traffic accidents is very high. Therefore, for safety reasons, although it is not all meters, most states in the United States have written regulations prohibiting some motorcycles from driving on the main roads.
All cities in China also have motorcycle restrictions for the same reasons.
This regulation seems to be only a small regulation, but it actually strangles the road of motorcycle development.
After all, except those loyal motorcycle enthusiasts, the ultimate purpose of ordinary people to buy Motorcycles is to take the place of transportation. However, if motorcycles are prohibited from entering most streets of the city, motorcycles will not play the role of taking the place of transportation, but will become a burden, which will make motorcycles unable to be like Chinese electric vehicles in the United States, Become a popular means of transportation in the whole meter.
After all, if we really let go of all controls, motorcycles can still be favored by many ordinary people because of their small size and the ability to shuttle freely in traffic jams.
Don't you see, there are many people in China. Obviously, they have a car at home and are willing to ride an electric car on the street. It's not because the road is too blocked, and the car is not as convenient as an electric car in the alley.
However, users of environmentally friendly electric motorcycles soon found that this environmentally friendly electric motorcycle did not have such a problem.
Because this rule governs motorcycles, not electric motorcycles.
According to the definition of laws and regulations, all single person small vehicles driven by internal combustion engine are considered motorcycles.
However, electric motorcycles use electric motors, which have nothing to do with internal combustion engines. This is not a thing at all with motorcycles prohibited by law.
Most importantly, when the all meter Motorcycle Association announced that it had expelled the environmentally friendly electric motorcycle from the motorcycle, BYD's environmentally friendly electric motorcycle was directly renamed Tesla. Even the name had nothing to do with the motorcycle.
Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't call it an environmentally friendly electric motorcycle in the future. I should call it Tesla!
Anyway, Tesla has completely cut all relations with motorcycles, so Tesla can go on the street unscrupulously.
At first, it didn't have any impact, but when many office workers sweat out of the subway station, and then have to walk for more than ten minutes, or even dozens of minutes to the company.
Or they may be stuck on the way, looking anxiously at their watches and watching the people riding Tesla around them, laughing and walking freely through the traffic. Since New York, the minds of Americans across the country have begun to change.
Wang Chuanfu, in particular, paid special attention to the market after his previous failures, constantly carried out market research, kept abreast of market changes, and his sensitivity to the market reached an amazing level.
This guy soon found business opportunities, so in addition to the original environmentally friendly heavy Tesla, he directly launched environmentally friendly light Tesla, which was very fast. It took less than a week from generating ideas to launching the market.
Some people may find it strange that even if the idea starts production immediately at the moment of its birth, it can't be launched into the market in a week!
But don't forget, in fact, when BYD's Tesla was just transported to the United States, it was the kind of light electric vehicle in our impression. However, later, in order to fit the market, it specially produced a heavy version, and the 300000 light Tesla previously transported were stacked in the warehouse.
As a result, the things that thought they would eventually become waste products for disassembly actually played a proper role, and Wang Chuanfu slipped them out of the warehouse again.
As long as the packaging and instructions are replaced, it is the latest light Tesla developed and produced.
Because the proportion of Tesla's body is several times smaller, it can more conveniently block the streets like the tide, come and go freely and shuttle between various gaps.
As for the parking and charging problems that previously restricted Tesla, they have also been solved.
First of all, the wisdom of the American people is infinite. They find many ways to park themselves. Tesla can get together at the back door of any store, at the door of an apartment, and where bicycles can be parked.
After all, like the previous regulations, those laws restricting parking are for motorcycles. There are no restrictions on bicycles, which is cheaper for Tesla.
As for the more troublesome office building, Wang Chuanfu took the initiative to do a lot of work. For example, negotiate with each office property, or simply pack several parking spaces in the underground garage all year round, and build a special electric vehicle parking area to provide these light electric vehicles for parking.
Because the volume of electric vehicles is very small, several parking spaces can meet the parking of dozens of electric vehicles, and Wang Chuanfu specially arranged people to install charging plugs at these locations, which can easily provide charging for all electric vehicles.
In addition, the light electric vehicle also increases the endurance capacity, that is, it simply and rudely adds a set of batteries, which improves the endurance capacity of the light electric vehicle from 30 km to about 50 km. Even if it can't be charged under the company building, you can take it home for charging.
In short, many difficulties that prevented the company's office workers from buying light Tesla have been eliminated, and the feature that light Tesla can get rid of the restrictions of crowded cities has been infinitely amplified.
More importantly, the new Tesla is cheap. It doesn't cost thousands of dollars, or even 1000 dollars. You can take it home as long as 799 dollars, which is cheaper than a mobile phone. This light Tesla is completely popular.
Starting from New York, it radiated the whole country at a very fast speed. It took only more than a month to dispose of all the 300000 light Tesla before Wang Chuanfu. Then, one after another, the cargo ships from China to the United States transported a large number of light Tesla.
By the end of August, light Tesla had sold a full 1.5 million vehicles in the United States, which had surpassed the sales of heavy Tesla and became the king of sales, bringing unimaginable profits to BYD.
In time, it is not impossible for the United States to change from the kingdom of cars to the kingdom of electric vehicles to China more than ten years later!
For a while, some media even gave Wang Chuanfu the title of changing the transportation history of the United States, with unlimited scenery!
However, when wood shows up in the forest, the wind will destroy it, not to mention Wang Chuanfu, a foreigner. Therefore, the American Motorcycle Association began to take action.
But this time they no longer play any commercial means, but directly take the high-level route.
In early September, an order from the black palace asked American States to immediately set laws to prohibit Tesla from going on the road.
This makes Wang Chuanfu silly. Wang Chuanfu wants to compete with his opponent, but his opponent wants to dig you out of the soil directly.
