Chapter 1806

For electric vehicles, the attitude of the whole world has been hesitant, especially in western countries. Their hearts are twisted into a twist.

The trend of electric vehicles in history was caused in 2008.

Now when talking about 2008, many people think of the economic crisis, but in fact, for Chinese people who have experienced 2008, the deepest memory is probably the crazy international oil price.

On January 2, 2008, the international oil price officially broke through the price of US $100 per barrel, and then began to rise continuously. Finally, it reached the peak in July 2008, with the price of US $150 per barrel of crude oil.

You know, in 2002, the price of a barrel of crude oil was only $20, and it rose nearly 7.5 times in six years

Not to mention the reasons for the sharp rise in international oil prices, but the key point is that it makes mankind begin to realize that gasoline cars may not be such a perfect thing.

Before 2008, in fact, many environmentalists called for not using gasoline cars to pollute the environment. What impressed boss Jia most was that in a novel, the hero Taoge made his home by relying on an automobile exhaust purifier device and achieved the peak of his life.

Cough, no more. Anyway, before 2008, the voice of environmental protection was very high, but it never moved the market. Except that one or two car companies occasionally did a little research and development of electric vehicles, all car companies chose to turn a blind eye to electric vehicles and build their fuel vehicles.

After all, if you make an electric car, that is to smash the market of fuel vehicles, which is equivalent to suicide.

However, as the international oil price soared to $150 a barrel, the direct consequence was that the car sales fell by 60% that year, and all auto enterprises fell into huge losses.

General motors and Chrysler, which also ranked among the world's top 500 in 2005, finally declared that they could not make ends meet, were insolvent and finally went bankrupt in 2008.

Of course, the more important reason is that the financial crisis in 2008 broke the capital chain of banks, which led to the rupture of the capital chain of the two enterprises.

However, if the two companies did not have a huge decline in sales in the second quarter of that year, it would not make all financial institutions despair about the debt repayment ability of the two auto companies, which would lead to the collapse of the stock market and bury them directly in the end.

The funny thing is that although car sales have declined and many auto companies have closed down, the oil price has risen even more, because the sales volume of crude oil mining countries such as Saudi Arabia has declined due to the sharp rise in crude oil price. If the sales volume cannot be improved in a short time, they have to raise the oil price to ensure their profits.

It can't be blamed that these countries are too dark. It's really because the region is too chaotic. Many countries have stopped production. Some countries have to maintain their own enjoyment because of high welfare policies. The national finance is in a serious deficit crisis. If the profits of crude oil fall, they will collapse. They have to continue to increase the unit price of crude oil.

Coupled with the financial crisis at that time, countless people lost their jobs and lost their income. Where can they afford to buy a car or buy gasoline? Walking is the most cost-effective way, which further led to the decline of car sales and gasoline consumption.

This formed a closed loop without solution. At that time, the auto manufacturers were frightened to find that if this situation lasted for another two or three years, 80% of the global auto industry would close down, and the gas stations would end. Let's die together and everyone would walk to work!

So the automobile industry at that time took the rare initiative to unite and announced that they wanted to support environmental protection and electric vehicles. Even many countries with a large automobile industry made a timetable, saying that their country would completely cut off the sales of gasoline vehicles many years ago, so that all the sales of the whole country were environmentally friendly and clean electric vehicles.

For example, Italy announced that it would completely stop selling fuel vehicles after 2024.

Mexico, Norway and other countries are 2025

The United States in 2029

Fusang is 2035

Moreover, these automobile enterprises are not kidding. They have actually invested in the research and development of electric vehicles, and many research centers have been established.

Seeing this scene, OPEC member states panicked. They found that the energy market they depend on may be over, so the international oil price began to decline slowly and no longer soar.

So before 2005, the world's auto industry was not driven by oil prices and was indifferent to electric vehicles. Recently, however, these international automobile enterprises have begun to pay attention to electric vehicles, because in China, which they regard as the largest market in the future, their cars can not be sold.

The people in the automobile industry are all smart people. Although they sing bad about China, they all know that China is destined to become the automobile consumer market next to the United States in the future. If anyone can occupy the Chinese market, he will be able to achieve the dominant position in the automobile industry in the future.

Here, European automobile enterprises are more intelligent, such as Volkswagen, which began to layout Huaxia in the 1970s, and then bat, which is familiar to the Chinese people, also laid out Huaxia in the 1980s.

Then there are Fusang and Koreans. They all came.

After 2000, the whole Chinese auto market was basically in a state of chaos. Dozens of internationally famous auto brands established joint ventures in China to sell cars, and the Chinese market occupied their most important profit space.

During this period of time, these foreign auto companies had the most comfortable life.

However, since 2002, such comfortable days have gone forever. These companies are alarmed to find that the sales of their joint venture vehicles in China have more than doubled, and are falling every year. It is estimated that in a few years, the sales will directly fall short.

What's more, the companies that were originally joint-venture with them to create joint-venture car companies suddenly expressed a lot of intention to quit cooperation, and then they even withdrew from the joint venture company's own shares. Some of woodlouse's Huaxia company had abandoned their noble foreign businessmen.

But this is the fact that these foreign enterprises are about to lose the whole Chinese market.

Later, they learned that the original culprit of all this was Daqian group. This company promoted their electric vehicle technology at almost free prices throughout China. It also spent a huge amount of money to build and replace power stations, and completely repulsed the original fuel vehicle system in just three years. Now almost all vehicles on the road in China are electric vehicles.

Especially in 2005, with the collapse of ylk's SDM regime, the Americans took over the oil wells originally belonging to ylk government, and the international oil price began to soar. Now the international oil price has exceeded $60, and the oil price in China has risen from $3 to $6.

Where can Chinese people tolerate such oil prices? It's just that they didn't have a choice before. Now with electric cars, who still suffers from this oil price.

As a result, the sales of fuel vehicles fell to the bottom. Many joint ventures noticed the general trend and naturally abandoned the foreign joint ventures and built electric vehicles wholeheartedly.

After all, your cooperation with foreign enterprises is very good. Technology patents or brands are always owned by others. You can only make some money at most.

But electric cars are completely their own things. Which one they will choose is a choice that fools know.
