How to break battery capacity and its safety

Although man-made driving and petrol vehicles often explode accidents, the electric car accident will not have much impact on the industry's wind direction. However, the high density of batteries may make the car more prone to fire or even explosion. The occurrence of this incident has sounded the alarm for the electric vehicle industry, and car manufacturers must seriously consider the safety of the battery.

Battery capacity breakthrough and safety are key.

Electric vehicles have become the trend of the future car, but the battery problem is still the pain point of the industry. Most conventional electric vehicles use lead-acid batteries, and although lead-acid batteries perform well in low-temperature environments and are relatively inexpensive, they put drivers at risk.

The main reason for the low price of lead-acid batteries is that they can be recycled, but this may cause some other problems. There have been reports of lead poisoning incidents, and unsafe methods for recycling may further affect workers' health. Lead can be debilitating or even fatal, and using strict practices may add more cost.

Some automakers have turned to lithium-ion batteries, and although they are currently expensive, lithium is lighter than batteries and can store longer amounts of electricity, which is ideal for electric vehicles. However, lithium-ion batteries also rely on a limited supply of rare earth metals, which may also cause workers' injuries and environmental damage. Therefore, if electric vehicles are truly popular, what we really need is a new type of battery.

At present, there are many alternatives to batteries, such as solid-state batteries, rapid charging of supercapacitors, and batteries with only carbon and water. The venture capitalists have invested $1 billion in 2018 to advance next-generation battery technology. However, these battery concepts are not mature enough to even power products such as electric vehicles. Experts believe that advanced batteries are one of the biggest demands, and current technologies need to break through.

Electric cars are cheaper than gasoline cars.

The importance of green environmental protection has gradually been realized, and the relevant restrictions and restrictions are becoming more and more strict. Electric vehicles are becoming the focus of the world. France and the United Kingdom have announced that they will ban gasoline vehicles by 2040. China is promoting the development of the electric vehicle industry, which means that China will also ban the use of fuel-efficient vehicles in the near future.

Lithium-ion batteries are an important part of future electric vehicles, and analysts believe that their prices will become cheaper and cheaper, leading to lower prices for electric vehicles. However, although the global electric car revolution is about to come, its schedule may not accelerate too much.

The key point is that the cost of electric vehicles is lower than that of ignited oil vehicles, which means that the cost of battery packs needs to continue to decline, but the analysis suggests that the price of lithium batteries and other components may rise in the future. Of course, it is still possible to reduce costs through mass production.

Today's petrol cars don't have to worry about running out of fuel, and electric cars have not yet reached such conditions. Ample power grids are a prerequisite for the take-off of electric vehicles. It takes a long time to install charging facilities from cities to towns and even in remote villages.

Relevant data shows that there are probably more than 16,000 charging piles in the United States, and China will reach about 150,000. This figure shows that China will be the world leader. Beijing plans to advance its charging station network by 2020 to meet the needs of 500 million electric vehicles. China is striving to become a leader in electric vehicle manufacturing.

However, industry experts believe that if there is not enough power supply in the future, there may be various power-limiting situations, and increasing the supply of charging points to the existing power grid may cost a lot of money.

Innovative application scenarios bring more opportunities.

With the development of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and 5 grams of communication technology, people's lives are moving toward an intelligent stage, which also brings a bright future to the automotive industry. At present, some companies such as Google and Tehla are conducting unmanned steam on-road testing. We can imagine the future. Urban transportation services may be handed over to these autonomous vehicles, and a self-driving car will be delivered in a few minutes after the order is placed. Appear in front of you, you are free to use without having to pay attention to the driver.

In addition, autonomous vehicles may be used in large quantities for delivery. The transportation of goods in various parts of the city is a boring job for drivers, and the demand for urban express delivery is increasing substantially. These jobs are most suitable for autonomous vehicles. Jingdong, Ali, and SF are all pushing unmanned goods. Jingdong's independent research and development smart distribution station has already landed in Shaanxi, and has completed delivery services through unmanned vehicles and unmanned distribution stations. The future urban logistics system may be assisted by automated cars, unmanned vehicles and drones.

Ford has introduced a self-drivingspecial car for traffic control, which can monitor unsafe behaviors such as illegal parking and speeding, and automatically track if illegal behavior is found, and impose corresponding penalties on the owner. With the continuous increase of urban traffic, autonomousspecial vehicles can reduce the burden on law enforcement personnel. Ford's automatedspecial car uses AI technology to analyze the violation of vehicles and location information, which can make up for the lack of human tracking and help to further reduce traffic accidents.

The application scenarios of electric vehicles are constantly innovating. In addition to the above mentioned, there are shared automobile industry, sanitation vehicles, transportation vehicles at port terminals, etc. These new application scenarios will further promote the development of the electric vehicle industry.
