"We're not kidding." Musk's face was very serious at this time: "Steve Jobs, you saw the business opportunities at a glance and created apple. You took the high-end route and attracted people by relying on the technical advantages and the artistic sense of handicrafts. Now, we just want to copy this model and use the technical advantages and artistic sense to obtain the recognition of high-end users. If we want to have enough technical advantages for electric vehicles, we must use strong power The power system has enough endurance. We have calculated that even if GM's EV-1 is replaced with 2000 lithium-ion batteries, the vehicle's endurance can exceed 400 kilometers, 400 kilometers. For a car, such endurance has really practical value. "
Why hasn't GM's EV-1 been recognized by users? It's not that its endurance is only more than 100 kilometers. Its only applicable scenario is to charge at home at night and get off work in the daytime. That's all. It's similar to going out on weekends. It's absolutely impossible. Before reaching the destination, people will be anxious because the energy consumption of the battery is more than half.
Only with lithium-ion batteries can we achieve such a breakthrough, and only with such a breakthrough can we really enter the users and really promote it!
This is also an opportunity for the Eagle auto industry. Yes, it is an opportunity for them to overtake in the corner.
They are more fuel-efficient, safer than island countries and Han countries. The decline of their traditional automobile industry is inevitable. Only emerging electric vehicles can achieve such a breakthrough, overtaking in such a corner and such a development, which makes them full of expectations.
This requires the support of jobs. Only jobs can get so many batteries. The most advanced lithium-ion batteries can be produced only in Han country.
Of course, the islanders also have lithium-ion batteries, but look at the serious reputation problems that have erupted in all walks of life in the island country. They dare not choose the lithium-ion batteries in the island country for fear of a crisis caused by technical problems. As long as one person doubts their safety, as long as there is an accident, it is enough to put their electric vehicles into hell.
"However, such a price must be expensive."
The price of lead-acid batteries is not expensive and users can afford it. However, if there are so many lithium-ion batteries, it must be a sky high price in the end.
"Yes, the price must be expensive. Just like your Apple computers, they are all sky high prices. Aren't they still sought after by users? We take the high-end route." When it comes to this, jobs is excited. This is his first real project. For this reason, he has planned to drop out of school. Just like Bill Gates, he dropped out of school to start his own company during college. He also wants to try.
Moreover, he is very confident in this. He has no intention to make this electric car a civilian car at all. At least at present, it is absolutely unrealistic. The cost of this kind of car is bound to be expensive. They can only deceive those local tyrants to buy it, that is, those who buy super sports cars now, those who have more than one car at home.
Electric vehicles have their own characteristics. The torque of the motor is large. After the car finally comes out, the power will be quite strong, which is absolutely comparable to the sports car. Moreover, they originally planned to sell this kind of car as a luxury, and the sports car is the first model.
Their potential users definitely don't buy to save fuel, but the way this group of people express their dissatisfaction with environmental problems and want to make changes. Their electric vehicles are new energy, environmentally friendly, and also a high-end sports car. Therefore, in this way, sports cars can be combined with new energy. The potential customer group is high-income people and people with environmental awareness social lion.
"Wow, sports car? I like it." Cui Enxi sighed.
In the past, when the bosses were talking, she was watching and waiting for the opportunity to promote each other's business, which is also a practical use of this business. But now, Cui Enxi doesn't have such a task. She was brought by jobs. Whether jobs is interested in this project has nothing to do with her.
Hearing about sports cars, Cui Enxi's eyes shine. As a high-end fashion woman, how can she not like sports cars?
"Well, Miss Cui Enxi, how about giving you the first batch of cars when our cars are officially built?" said Eberhard, who began to pay attention again.
Of course, this is also necessary. If Cui Enxi, an online celebrity, publicizes them and even makes several live broadcasts on sports cars, the whole world will know their sports cars. It is also very good for their car sales. As far as Eberhard knows, many big people in Silicon Valley actually like to watch Cui Enxi's live broadcast and have various ideas.
But they absolutely don't know that Cui Enxi is in Silicon Valley and apple.
However, it is Steve Jobs who really makes the decision. Now, musk has spoken out his ideas. He takes the high-end route, makes cars under the banner of environmental protection, and finally becomes a high-end brand, bringing the world's automobile industry into a new field, which is dominated by them.
However, they have no money. Several people know exactly how much money to burn here.
"It's not easy," Jobs said. "First, it's the power management of thousands of batteries. Each battery must have a protection circuit, and there can't be a problem. Otherwise, a short circuit will affect a large short circuit. Second, it's the heat dissipation of so many batteries. If these problems are not solved, it's impossible to build an electric vehicle."
As for what to say, how to arrange the motor, how to manufacture the controller and how to pull the wind in the shape of the sports car are all things in the future. Now, the biggest problem to be solved first is how to solve the power supply.
That's a bomb.
Many companies want to build electric vehicles. They say very well on the PPT, such as endurance, maximum speed and breaking 100 in a few seconds. However, after saying so much, it is impossible to compare with Tesla in the end because they do not have a key technology of Tesla: battery management. None of them really want to build cars, but they just want to cheat subsidies.
"Yes, we believe that these are what apple is best at. After all, you have mature power management capabilities on Apple laptops." Musk kicked the ball to jobs.
