Did Boss Jia really not support electric scooters?
Of course not. In the year 2020, even an idiot would know that electric scooters were the trend of the times. In the future, they would definitely replace gasoline-powered vehicles and become the most important form of transportation.
Moreover, in the future, all sorts of technological limitations would be broken. Not only would the battery range reach 700 kilometers, but the charging speed would also be reduced to about an hour.
Of course, these numbers were still not perfect. The popularity of electric scooters was still very difficult. After all, there were too few charging stations in the country. At the same time, there were very few people who owned parking spaces. Those who could install charging stations in their parking spaces were even fewer.
Therefore, if electric scooters really wanted to replace gasoline-powered vehicles, it would take at least 20 years from the year 2020. However, no one doubted that electric scooters would eventually replace gasoline-powered vehicles. What everyone needed was a technological breakthrough.
Therefore, when Wang Chuanfu wanted to do electric scooters, Boss Jia was in favor of it.
However, the timing was not right. It was too early.
Right now, there were no breakthroughs in battery and charging technology. Electric scooters were just like flowers in the water. BYD would not be able to create a road-ready electric car that met the basic needs of the public without at least 10 years.
Of course, BYD could start accumulating electric car technology in advance. When the time came, they would be able to charge ahead and become the leader of the electric car industry in the world.
However, Wang Chuanfu was obviously not in the state of accumulating technology. From the looks of it, he wanted to create an electric scooter that could be sold within 5 years. This mentality was too impetuous. If he really did that, it would definitely explode.
Therefore, Boss Jia had to give Wang Chuanfu a hard beating. He had to let him understand his naivety and stupidity. Then, Boss Jia would give Wang Chuanfu a carrot and tell him that he was optimistic about electric cars. He just needed to steadily accumulate the technology and not be impetuous. For now, he should focus on Tesla and the battery business.
Sigh, our Boss Jia really put in a lot of effort. There were not many such good bosses in the world.
Next, as long as Wang Chuanfu admitted his mistakes, Boss Jia could start feeding him chicken soup.
However, for the next hour, Wang Chuanfu sat on the sofa without saying a word. He was still immersed in his own world. This made Boss Jia a little anxious.
Boss Jia was so bored that he started playing with the mini 4WD on his table.
Could it be that he had hit Wang Chuanfu too hard and caused him to collapse?
Just as Boss Jia was about to take the initiative to speak, Wang Chuanfu suddenly jumped up from the sofa and said loudly, "Chairman, I understand. I know how to overcome the problem!"
"Nani?" Boss Jia was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Do you understand that these problems can't be overcome in five years? You need at least …"
"No, we don't even need 5 years. We only need 3 years. In just 3 years, we can have electric scooters on the road!!" Wang Chuanfu shouted excitedly like a young girl in love, which made Boss Jia completely dumbfounded.
Why does this guy seem to be even more demonic?
"Three years? You're not playing with me, are you?"
"How would I dare to play with you, my dear chairman!" Wang Chuanfu said with a smile, "I said three years, and it's three years!"
"In fact, now we have the electric motor technology that can support four wheels. Although it's a little simple, it's better than all the current engines in terms of acceleration and continuous output compared to the current gasoline engine. This is the nature of the electric motor to the gasoline engine! You can't make up for it. "
"Only the central control system. I believe in my colleagues at Bilibili, and this is not a difficult technology. Three years is enough for them to help us create a set of central control system!"
"As for the things other than the power system, it's even simpler. We can directly use the off-the-shelf technology!"
"I plan to directly buy a medium-sized foreign automobile company, so that I can directly package all their technology, patent authorization, and related talents and production lines into my hands!"
"With the help of such an off-the-shelf automobile company, I'm confident that I can complete the design in one year, complete the assembly of the production line in two years, and complete the mass production in three years. You can fire me for even one more day!" Wang Chuanfu shouted.
"…"
Boss Jia did not speak because what Wang Chuanfu said was the truth. Aside from the fact that these things required a lot of money, the other things could be completely completed in three years.
"What about the battery life and charging?" Boss Jia said, "The other things are easy to solve, but these are the two most important problems. How do you plan to solve these two problems?"
"Not only do you need to consider the battery life, but you also need to consider the battery stability. I'm sure you're more familiar with the problem of the lithium battery than me. Even though it charges and discharges very quickly, the biggest problem with the battery is that it's very unstable. Even if it's just a lithium battery, there's a 3 in a million chance of spontaneous combustion! "
"If you put the ternary lithium battery into the car and become the power source of the car, then the chance of spontaneous combustion will increase to the level of 100,000!"
"If you want to increase the endurance to 300 kilometers, then you need at least five batteries in parallel. This way, the chance of spontaneous combustion will increase to the level of 1 in 10,000!"
"In fact, regardless of the probability, as long as an electric car spontaneously combusts, then it will be a devastating blow to the electric car that has just been born. If there are more deaths in this accident, then it is not a problem that can be solved with the methods you used in the United States! "Boss Jia blurted out.
Well, in fact, the safety of the battery was the main problem that troubled the production of electric cars. One of the main reasons why electric cars only became popular after 2010 was that the safety technology of the lithium battery had been solved. Humans had a more stable way of using and controlling large lithium batteries. Otherwise, one or two electric car spontaneously combusting accidents could be seen in the local newspapers every day.
In this era, it would be more appropriate to call an electric car a mobile self-destruct vehicle or a mobile oven.
"I know!" Wang Chuanfu nodded, "That is why I don't plan to use lithium batteries as the power source of the electric car. We will continue to use the lead-acid batteries that Tesla uses now!"
"Lead-acid batteries … Wang Chuanfu, was your brain kicked by a donkey?" When Boss Jia heard Wang Chuanfu's words, he was completely dumbfounded. This Wang Chuanfu, how could he just go back alive?
