Many people believe that the automotive industry and new energy vehicles are the future trend, and among these, electric vehicles are the most promising for many people.
The battery is also the core of an electric vehicle.
Low storage capacity, slow charging speed, and high cost are all important issues for electric vehicle batteries.
The popularity of the Tsingyun Power Bank and its powerful data have given many in the automotive industry hope.
However, there are still many technical issues between the Qingyun Power Bank and car batteries.
For example, what effect would the charging technology of the Qingyun Power Bank and the special power storage materials have if they were used in a car?
The Qingyun Power Bank charges quickly, but it is small and has a small power storage capacity.
Car batteries, on the other hand, are large and have a large power storage capacity.
Looking at these representatives of the automotive industry, Lin Yun said slowly, 'Our company has already developed finished products for car batteries. There are currently three levels: a 100-ampere battery costs 50,000 yuan, a 200-ampere battery costs 100,000 yuan, and a 300-ampere battery costs 150,000 yuan. They can all be fully charged in ten minutes, and their lifespan is about 1,000 cycles.'
He had long expected the automotive industry to approach him, and he had long since set the specifications for the three types of batteries.
The price was only slightly higher than the capacity of the Qingyun Power Bank and the wholesale price of the Qingyun Power Bank, but not much higher, because the way those automotive batteries were made was somewhat different from the Qingyun Power Bank. The general technology was the same, but the material standards had declined somewhat, and naturally, the cost on the Cosmos Trading System had also dropped a lot.
Do not underestimate this cost, and Lin Yun is not obsessed with this seemingly insignificant cost.
For example, 10 million Qingyun Power Banks would cost 80 spirit crystals if purchased from Starry Blue.
If he produced them himself, it would only cost 40 spirit crystals.
But what about 100 million Qingyun Power Banks?
If he produced them himself, it would cost 400 spirit crystals!
This fluctuation in cost could be hundreds of spirit crystals!
You can't calculate the future, and you can't calculate the cost of too many things. This is just the Qingyun Power Bank, and there are also mobile phones, cars, and so on... The more he makes, the more involved he is. When you add it all up, a fluctuation in cost could mean a fluctuation of thousands or even tens of thousands of spiritual crystals.
With so many spiritual crystals, naturally it's worth him calculating a bit.
'One hundred watts, two hundred watts, three hundred watts, three levels, all fully charged in ten minutes?' Hearing Lin Yun's specifications, some of the car representatives tapped the table slightly.
Indeed, the company behind Qingyun Power Bank has not only developed finished mobile phone batteries, but also finished car batteries.
Although, at present, the top electric cars on the market only have batteries with a power capacity of around 100 amperes.
However, Lin Yun gave three levels of 100 amperes, 200 amperes, and 300 amperes, and they didn't find it strange at all.
The reason why the batteries in cars cannot have too much power storage is mainly because of the size and weight.
The size and weight of the Qingyun Power Bank is so small, but the storage capacity is so large.
So it is very normal to produce car batteries with 100, 200, and 300 watt-hour specifications.
Some of the technology in the Qingyun Power Bank is somewhat epoch-making.
But the price... It makes them a little sore.
They have long since analysed the data of the Qingyun Power Bank, and naturally they can see that the price Lin Yun has given is already more than the cost-effectiveness of the Qingyun Power Bank.
Although, with the high prices Lin Yun gave those mobile phone batteries, and although, Lin Yun set the price of the car battery, it is not much higher than the cost performance of the Qingyun Power Bank.
However, cars are different from mobile phones, and different from power banks.
Most mobile phones and power banks are lithium batteries, and the same capacity, they are expensive.
The batteries used in cars are mostly traditional batteries that have been optimised, and the same capacity, their cost is several times lower.
Here's the problem.
A 100-ampere battery costs less than 50,000 yuan to make.
It's just that it's so big and heavy that it's barely usable.
Of course, Lin Yun's batteries also have the advantage of being able to be recharged a lot and having a long lifespan, but it's not easy to explain this to customers, and they're not likely to believe it.
So it's more cost-effective for customers to buy a 200-ampere battery than a 300-ampere battery.
A 100-ampere battery can normally power a car for 500 kilometres.
A 300-ampere battery can power even some very power-hungry cars for about 1,000 kilometres.
What's more, it only takes ten minutes to fully charge the battery, which is actually pretty good.
In fact, even if they buy a 100-ampere battery from Lin Yun, it's still a good deal.
After all, its lifespan is there for all to see. Although it's not easy to explain to customers, it's not really something that can't be explained.
It's just that the price makes them feel a little reluctant.
'By the way, Mr Lin, how do you charge these car batteries?' Just then, a representative of an automobile brand asked, remembering something.
It's probably impossible to fully charge a 100Ah battery in ten minutes using normal charging methods.
'You can use our Qingyun company's charging piles, which cost 5,000 yuan each, or you can use the charging piles currently on the market,' Lin Yun said, glancing at the other party.
Using the current charging piles, breaking through their power limits, Qingyun Power Bank has demonstrated such technology before.
Although he could make a technology that could be charged using ordinary household electricity, it would be too amazing. He would wait until he was stronger before using such a technique.
'If we use the existing charging piles on the market, there won't be any safety issues, will there?' A representative of an automobile brand asked cautiously.
'Of course not. You should have tested the safety of Qingyun Power Bank's charging technology. Our company's automobile batteries have the same technology,' Lin Yun shook his head.
'Mr Lin, we think that the price of this battery is a bit high. As you should know, our car batteries are different from mobile phone batteries and power bank types. The cost difference is huge for the same storage capacity...' The representatives of several car brands looked at each other, and finally one of them stood up and said:
'Your company's car batteries can store up to 200Wh and 300Wh, can't they?' Lin Yun asked.
'This...' The representative of this car brand was at a loss for words.
'I dare to ask, is the battery technology and materials produced by your company the same as the Qingyun Power Bank?' Another representative of an automobile brand stood up and asked.
'Technically, it is roughly the same, but the materials are a bit different. The car battery produced is not the same proportion as the Qingyun Power Bank in terms of size and weight, but it is sufficient for you to use in the car. If it is not, you cannot get it at this price. I am also considering the cost of your car company,' Lin Yun said indifferently.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the representatives of these car brands sank even further.
Although the battery space reserved for many electric cars is quite large, no one would be happy to hear that they are only buying a low-grade product for their money.
'Mr Lin, as far as I know, some research institutions have already developed a battery similar to the Qingyun Power Bank. The charging speed is similar, but the size is larger. However, the size of the battery required for our cars also has a lot of room...' A representative of an automobile brand stood up and said.
'Are you sure that the charging speed of their battery with the same power storage capacity is about the same as that of our company's battery, not a little faster? And, will it not damage the battery? Are you sure that their battery has the lifespan of our company's battery? Are you sure that their battery's price is really cheaper than our company's battery's price?'
Lin Yun said with a faint smile.
'If you are sure about all of this, then you can definitely buy from them. Our company doesn't mind having more competitors.' After a pause, Lin Yun continued.
His pricing was not set arbitrarily.
He knew that what he had said could not be done by very few research institutions on Blue Star for at least half a year. Even if it could be done, it would be unknown how long it would take for them to mass produce the finished product.
The market is like a battlefield. While the people from these companies wait to buy those batteries, their competitors will have long since seized a large market share.
On his side, it won't take more than a month, just until the factory in Xianyuan County is built, and he can provide a large quantity of these batteries.
And if it's really urgent, he can even purchase some batteries on the Universal Trading System at any time.
'I know, you think our company's batteries are expensive, but our company has another plan,' Lin Yun continued.
'What plan?' Hearing Lin Yun's words, one person asked hurriedly.
'Our company intends to launch a car, and if you help us sell the car, our company can give you a higher commission for selling your company's car,' Lin Yun laughed.
Selling cars is very different from selling mobile phones.
Selling mobile phones can also be done with the help of the Internet and using couriers.
Selling cars almost relies solely on various channels in the real world.
'Er...' A group of people were speechless.
Didn't Lin Yun previously tell the representatives of those mobile phone brands to help sell the phones?
They shook their heads.
By the same token, how could they possibly agree to such a request?
However, they really didn't expect that Qingyun Company had not only produced finished mobile phones, but also finished cars. They felt a sense of urgency.
What kind of force was behind this Qingyun Company?
If they let the other party rise, they were afraid that it would be a formidable enemy, and they felt a sense of pressure.
