Practitioners cried out that the wolf was coming. 400whkg is the requirement that the country must meet by 2025. Jierui Power achieved it in 2019 and will be able to mass-produce it in 2020. This is leaving no way for competitors to survive!
Xia Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with speeding up a bit. He would act as a benchmark and stimulate the rapid development of the industry.
This move stimulated the major battery manufacturers in South Korea, but it also backstabbed domestic battery companies. Many slow-reacting people found that the situation had changed and the advanced production lines they had just introduced were out of date?
It’s not our army’s fault that they are incompetent. The enemy is a big devil. Anyone who comes is just a piece of cake. We have no way to deal with him.
For a period of time after the press conference, Xia Yu was extremely busy. He could turn down all the interview invitations, but he couldn't miss the official meeting!
Xia Yu's appearance rate in July increased significantly, exceeding the total of the previous few years, but the effort and reward are proportional. Following this favorable trend, he cleared the obstacles for the subsequent development of Jierui Power.
This is the benefit of increasing visibility and becoming a star enterprise, but it also has advantages and disadvantages.
The more famous the catering industry is, the more likely it is to be targeted. Star companies like Hudi Lao, which were invited to move in even with free rent and decoration, have been plagued by scandals over the years.
As part of the industry chain for electronic products such as electric vehicles and laptops, batteries are not intended for end consumers, but they may also be targeted by competitors, such as a major battery manufacturer.
"We can't wait any longer. We have to release the product ahead of schedule. This is the best time."
"But their 2.0 battery cells are only samples. Not only can we not get them, but even if we did, we couldn't advertise them!"
"Then use their original battery cells. I don't believe there are any ternary lithium batteries that are not resistant to needle puncture."
The company originally planned to use the opportunity of launching a new product to snipe another battery company, but because of the sudden rise of Jierui Power, they changed their original plan. Not only did they have to advance the time, but their target also became Jierui Power.
Soon they got a power battery pack using 1.0 battery cells, disassembled it to take out the experimental materials, and prepared to shoot a video of the acupuncture experiment.
The video was shot in three parts. First, a traditional lithium iron phosphate battery is placed on it, and then an egg is punctured.
Smoke with a pungent smell rose, and infrared measurements showed that the surface temperature of the battery rose to 200℃~400℃. Lithium iron phosphate batteries have always had advantages in safety, but their energy density is not so good.
To this end, the company developed a sheet-type battery based on the lithium iron phosphate battery. The second video was shot with this battery. After the needle puncture, there was neither open flame nor thick smoke, and the surface temperature of the battery was only 30℃~60℃, which is very safe.
The staff were not surprised by this result, because the main feature of chip-mounted batteries is safety.
The last video is the highlight. This 1.0 battery cell produced in March 2019 was placed on the experimental table. After the machine was started, the steel needle slowly penetrated into the battery cell, and then there was no response for a long time.
Um?
This is unscientific!
Where did the fire, explosion, and smoke go? I just tested the battery and it’s not low on power!
Everyone present was shocked. The result was not what they had expected.
In fact, ternary lithium batteries will explode if punctured, so this item is directly removed from the factory inspection. This is a compromise made due to technological limitations. Future technological levels have solved this problem. The method is not complicated and the cost is acceptable, so Xia Yu directly used it on the 1.0 battery cell.
As an entrepreneur with conscience and passion, he never intended to use this to promote anything, but unexpectedly it helped him avoid a storm.
Xia Yu, who was unaware of the situation, was talking to Kang Linsong. Kang had called him at the beginning of the month to congratulate Jierui Power on its major technological breakthrough and discuss subsequent cooperation matters.
In today's phone call, Lao Kang was just helping to pass the message. It was the Stuttgart government that wanted to connect with him.
"You mean they invited me to Stuttgart to build an overseas branch?"
Xia Yu stood up from the chair.
This is an overseas branch. Tesla has only two overseas branches after so many years of development. In less than a year, the main factory has been expanded and the domestic branches are also under construction. Unexpectedly, the invitation to the overseas branches has come.
The local government's intervention meant a green light all the way. Xia Yu had to be tempted. Europe, as the cradle of fuel vehicles, has many established car companies.
These car companies with foresight have begun electrification reforms, which will generate a large demand for power batteries in the near future. CATL has targeted this and is ahead of many battery companies.
In 2018, they signed an investment agreement with the government of the state of Thuringia in Germany to establish a battery production base and an intelligent manufacturing technology R&D center in Germany.
Now Stuttgart has set its sights on Jierui Power and invited Xia Yu to set up a factory there. If this factory is successfully established, it will greatly facilitate his expansion into the European market.
"Well, as a partner, I hope to facilitate this. If you have any financial problems, several local banks will line up to provide you with a loan..."
Kang Linsong continued on the phone, saying that the local government also offered many preferential conditions, and Xia Yu became more and more excited the more he listened.
"Can you give me a few days to think about it?"
Xia Yu did not agree immediately. Reservedness is an excellent quality of a wealthy man, although he had already taken action.
"Of course, I hope to hear good news, but don't worry too much about us."
Kang Linsong is still quite conflicted. From a work perspective, he definitely hopes that Xia Yu can come, but from a personal perspective, he has to respect Xia Yu's choice.
