expensive.
When asked what the characteristics of "Type 1 high-energy battery" are, apart from those exaggerated performance parameters, what people subconsciously think of is that it is expensive.
Only rich people can afford it.
For example, the "Xingyue Super Energy Electric Vehicle" is an electric vehicle with a standard appearance and not very cool. The cost of the car shell is at most 10,000 yuan.
But the "Type 1 high-energy battery" inside has a total mass of 20 kilograms and is worth 990,000 yuan.
It’s about 50,000 yuan per kilogram.
One gram is equivalent to fifty yuan.
It’s not as expensive as gold, but at least it’s much more valuable than silver.
The price is very unreasonable and ordinary people can't afford it.
Although Black Energy Company said that the initial production cost of the battery is very high, comparable to high-end chips, it will not cost dozens of yuan per gram.
In fact, even in the initial stage when costs are the highest, the production cost per gram will not exceed 5 yuan.
Once continuous mass production is achieved, the production cost per gram will quickly drop to 4 yuan or 3 yuan, and in the future the cost can be controlled below 2 yuan per gram.
But in the short term, Levi hopes that the factory price of "Type 1 high-energy battery" will be no less than 15 yuan per gram.
That is, for every battery sold, after deducting the cost, the company can make at least twice the profit.
And there will be no significant price reduction in at least two years.
Therefore, the products that can be cooperated include "super electric cars" or "super electric cars"... In the field of transportation, assuming that 50,000 vehicles are sold each year, it can bring tens of billions of net profits to the dark company every year.
But Levi felt that this was not enough, so he set his sights on another market - the mobile phone battery market.
"Although Xia's mobile phone market has shifted from a growth-oriented market to a stock market in recent years, annual mobile phone shipments are still around 300 million units. If all of these phones use high-energy batteries, and we make 100 yuan per battery, we still have a net profit of 30 billion yuan per year."
"Besides, mobile phone batteries are generally small, weighing about 30 to 40 grams, and costing about 150 yuan. Multiplying that by four, that means a price increase of about 600 yuan per phone. The vast majority of mobile phone users will be able to use a super phone with a battery life that is more than five times longer."
"Is a 600 yuan price increase expensive? It is indeed a bit expensive, but don't forget that super electric cars and ultra-electric cars cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan each. Ordinary people can hardly afford them and can't experience the power of high-energy batteries. Now, with a 600 yuan price increase, you can experience it on your phone."
"Moreover, after using a phone equipped with a high-energy battery, you can go from having to charge your phone every day to only once every five days, or even once a week. The convenience it brings is simply unimaginable. It can be said that you will forget about charging, and you will definitely not want to go back to the days of charging every day."
"Also, Type 1 high-energy batteries have a lifespan of over 30 years. They can last for more than just one phone. You can remove them and put them into a new phone, saving you the extra 600 yuan each time you use them. As long as you don't scrap them prematurely and use them fully, the overall cost is actually lower than traditional batteries."
"After calculating it this way, 600 yuan is really worth it."
Think of this.
In addition to producing high-energy batteries of common specifications, Levi's battery factory will also adjust the production line to specifically produce a batch of high-energy batteries for mobile phones.
…
A month later.
September 18th.
With the collaborative efforts of thousands of employees.
Dark Energy's battery factory has successfully achieved mass production of Type 1 high-energy batteries, running the production line at full capacity and producing almost non-stop for 24 hours.
300,000 high-energy batteries can be mass-produced every day.
If proficiency is improved in the later stage and the production process is continuously adjusted and optimized, the production efficiency can be gradually increased to 500,000 pieces (blocks) per day.
Among the 300,000 production capacity, 50,000 are flat-block mobile phone batteries, which are specially used for mobile phones.
So two days later, on September 20th, at eight o'clock in the evening.
An important autumn new product launch conference was held by Dami Technology Company.
The focus of this press conference is not on the latest Mi 30 mobile phone, and how it outperforms its competitors in terms of processor, camera pixel count, charger power, etc. These traditional items no longer need to be compared. Now the focus is on battery power.
On the press conference stage.
Lei Xiaojun held a battery between his fingers and said to the audience:
"Friends, what does a 40-gram battery with a milliampere-hour capacity mean?"
"This means you can use your phone to catch up on a TV series with hundreds of episodes, watching it from beginning to end without having to charge it once."
"It means you can use your mobile phone to call your friends and chat for five days and five nights without having to worry about the service suddenly being shut down."
"It means that when you use it to play games like Honor of Kings, no matter how many rounds you fight, your teammates don't have to worry about you suddenly disappearing and leaving them to fight alone."
"It also means that if you're traveling or on a business trip for just three to five days, you don't need to bring a phone charger at all. You can just fully charge it two hours in advance and then have fun. You can even use it as a power bank to charge other mobile devices."
"In addition, the battery's small size and ultra-high energy density also save a small amount of space in the phone, allowing us to add a small mechanical fan and liquid cooling heat pipes to dissipate heat from the phone's CPU... The problem of phone overheating has been effectively solved, and the phone's performance is fully guaranteed."
