Toyota questioned that electric vehicles were over-hyped, which was a good opportunity for China to overtake in new energy corners.

The tide is coming, and our generation will bow their heads and enter the game!

Under the wave of new energy, the automobile industry is transforming to new energy and electric intelligence, and the automobile technology field is developing towards the "new four modernizations" trend of electrification, networking, intelligence and * * *. The new energy vehicle market can be described as surging, a hundred schools of thought contend and a thriving scene.

Nowadays, the new car-making forces headed by Tesla, Weilai, Tucki and Ideality are on the rise. Traditional luxury, independent and joint venture car companies are catching up, and even oligarchs such as Evergrande, Huawei, Baidu and Ali are also entering the market strongly. It can be seen that almost all car companies are planning electrification transformation plans in order to snap up this ticket to enter the future market. However, Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corporation, seems to scoff at this, and can even be described as extremely dissatisfied, launching an "attack" on the excessive hype of electric vehicles.

Akio Toyoda publicly "shelled" the excessive hype of electric vehicles.

A few days ago, according to the Wall Street Journal, Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corporation, publicly "angrily sprayed" over-hyped electric vehicles, claiming that they would lead to the collapse of the current business model and aggravate environmental pollution, and criticized the policy of "prohibiting the sale of fuel vehicles" for not taking into account the carbon emissions generated during power generation and the cost of transforming to electric vehicles. When Akio Toyoda's remarks came out, they immediately triggered many discussions. In response to this report, Akio Toyoda's remarks seem to deviate from the mainstream view of the global electrification trend, but considering the current national conditions in Japan, Mr. Akio Toyoda's remarks are also unreasonable. Among them, Japan's national policy is also one of the fuses that triggered such remarks.

According to Japan's latest new energy vehicle policy, the Japanese government will consider completely stopping the sale of fuel vehicles in the mid-1930s, and strive to achieve Japan's goal of "net zero emission of greenhouse gases" in 2050. It is understood that Japan's current electricity supply mainly depends on burning coal and natural gas, so the popularity of electric vehicles will inevitably increase electricity consumption, which will lead to the pollution of carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, in the face of the huge infrastructure investment in the comprehensive transformation of electric vehicles, Japan's original business model will further collapse and even lead to millions of people losing their jobs.

It can be seen that the highly respected new energy vehicle market is full of doubts about its future development prospects. So is the future global new energy policy really wrong? Will such an expensive new energy policy really increase environmental pollution? What is the reason why the national government has gone to great trouble to transform from traditional fuel vehicles to new energy electric vehicles? With these questions, let's look at the specific reasons and analyze whether the transformation of new energy vehicles is desirable.

The transition from traditional fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles is the general trend.

The first is environmental protection. Can new energy vehicles really solve the problem of greenhouse gas emissions? The answer is obviously not. From a personal point of view, new energy electric vehicles have no exhaust emissions and are indeed environmentally friendly. However, from the overall use environment, the way of thermal power generation to provide electricity can not effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Moreover, the greenhouse gas emissions from burning natural gas and fuel oil are not less than those from traditional cars, so new energy vehicles can not effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, from the perspective of energy transfer efficiency, the energy transfer efficiency of new energy vehicles is indeed much higher than that of traditional fuel vehicles.

According to relevant information, the efficiency of converting oil into gasoline is between 80% and 90%. Although the engine theoretically has a combustion efficiency of 40%, under the existing technical conditions, the combustion efficiency may be around 20%. It is worth noting that Mazda compression ignition technology, which has a combustion efficiency close to 40%, is not even as fuel-efficient as a small-displacement turbocharged engine under actual working conditions, which shows that the energy transfer efficiency of gasoline is not high.

On the contrary, the energy conversion efficiency of traditional thermal power generation is about 40%, and its energy conversion efficiency can exceed 30% when the transmission and storage losses are included, far exceeding the traditional fuel vehicle with the transfer efficiency less than 20%. Therefore, new energy electric vehicles can indeed reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it is not enough to achieve zero emissions unless thermal power generation is abandoned. However, China and Japan are both big power users with thermal power generation as the main body, which will be impossible under the existing conditions.

However, China, with its vast territory and rich resources, is different from Japanese. Compared with Japan, which is seriously short of resources, China's power resources are not only thermal power generation, but also other non-fossil energy reserves, such as wind power, hydropower, nuclear power and solar energy, which still need to be developed. Generally speaking, the development of new energy can effectively reduce the dependence on imported fossil energy, and it is also a long-term solution for future exhibitions in terms of environmental protection.

In addition, the purpose of developing new energy pure electric vehicles in China market is not limited to the field of environmental protection. From the perspective of China automobile industry, it is basically difficult for traditional fuel vehicles to compete with foreign traditional manufacturers in brand strength and technology accumulation. As the second largest economy in the world, the performance of the automobile industry has always been big but not strong. So now is a good time for China's automobile industry to revive and then change lanes to overtake.

The technology of the automobile industry is changing, and China is expected to overtake in the corner in the field of new energy vehicles.

For a long time, in the field of traditional fuel vehicles, the domestic automobile industry level is still relatively backward compared with other European and American countries, and the backward technology also makes Chinese people only have feelings and can not be recognized by domestic consumers, resulting in almost no substantial progress in domestic traditional automobile enterprises, and the market share is often occupied by imported or joint venture automobile enterprises with more mature technology.

However, with the transformation of new energy vehicle industry, China enterprises with leading edge in the field of intelligent interconnection undoubtedly provide China new energy vehicles with a good opportunity to overtake in corners. In this excellent outlet, it is particularly important for China car companies to seize this opportunity. Whether the future can grow as fast as smart phones is highly anticipated.

However, the new energy vehicle market in China, which entered the market earlier, failed to meet people's expectations. With the support of national policies, it even developed into a vicious circle of "cheating", which not only wasted a lot of time and energy, but also failed to make a substantive breakthrough in technology. Fortunately, the introduction of Tesla with "silver carp effect" has injected new vitality into China's new energy vehicle market, and traditional brands and new forces of car-making have also begun to exert their strength, and new energy technologies have made substantial progress. Therefore, excellent automobile manufacturers such as BYD, Weilai, Tucki and Ideality have also achieved corresponding growth under the pressure of competition.

However, this is usually not enough. The bubble in the new energy vehicle market is gradually emerging. When a large number of new energy automobile brands emerge, with the maturity of the new energy market, new energy automobile enterprises without reliable technology and high-tech strength are constantly being eliminated. In short, the future new energy automobile industry must be an era driven by data and defined by software. This is also the core advantage of Huawei, Baidu and Ali, even surpassing the core advantages of traditional car companies and Tesla. Grasping these advantages will be an excellent opportunity to lead the automobile industry and achieve overtaking in corners.

Auto Network Comments: China auto market has a long way to go to transform into new energy electrification.

Everything has a reason, and existence is reasonable. Perhaps from the current automobile market in China, the transformation of new energy electrification has a long way to go, and traditional fuel technology will be the main development direction in the short term. Moreover, as far as the current trend is concerned, this will also be a gradual process, and finally the all-round development of new energy electrification will be realized through the transition of hybrid electric vehicles. It can be seen that it is particularly important to conform to the trend of the times and adopt diversified development in combination with the current actual situation.

However, it is precisely because the electrification of new energy is the general trend. Compared with the century-old experience and technology of foreign brands of traditional fuel vehicles, China's new energy automobile industry is at the same starting line with foreign new energy automobile industries, and even has unique advantages in motor control, battery system, vehicle-mounted system and intelligent network connection. Therefore, under the strong presence of domestic technology giants, if we can give full play to our own advantages, the gap between foreign automobile technology and domestic automobile technology will become more and more obvious. I believe that during the holidays, we will be able to overtake at this key corner and promote the transfer of global automotive technical strength and key areas of consumption from abroad to China.
