C3158 Electric Car

When the car just showed up, all kinds of power were all kinds of steam engines, internal combustion engines, and electric cars. That's right, it was the same as an old scooter.0

In the beginning, there were a few lead batteries that drove a car. That's enough, this method seems pretty good. In fact, there were pits everywhere, mainly because the endurance was too low. At that time, the energy stored in the battery was very little, so he went out for a walk. After the gasoline engine appeared, it was completely out of battery. It immediately became the favorite in the eyes of all the car experts with an incomparable advantage. After that, it revolved around the internal combustion engine and continued to develop. Progress all the way until now.

And now, the trend of electric vehicles had already begun.

Just last year, General Motors made the first move. They developed an electric car codenamed EV-1, and this electric car was launched into the market.

This was the work of an electric car, but it had no other choice. It used lead acid batteries. That's right, it was the same lead acid battery as an old scooter. This resulted in the electric car's range being not high. It was only 140 kilometers. This was the ideal situation. The highest speed was less than 80 kilometers per hour. And... If they were to travel at this highest speed, it would only take a short period of time... He would be able to use up all of his electricity.

These performance made it useless. Therefore, after spending a huge amount of money on research and development, no one bought it in the market. This was the most speechless ending.

The engineer who developed this car, Anthony, left the General Motors. He started to create his own electric car company, looking forward to developing a qualified electric car. However, he was too weak by himself. And so... He found the Silicon Valley engineer, Abbott, and while they were discussing the plan... Musk took the initiative to look for him.

When Musk was in university, he realized that cars were about to usher in a revolution. This was the new energy source, which was environmental protection. The exhaust of gasoline cars had to pollute the environment. However, electric cars did not have this weakness. Furthermore, in the future... ... The concept of environmental protection would become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Looking at the current Han Country, they had already started planning ahead of time.

They continuously released harsh car exhaust standards, and then upgraded their own industries. In order to follow this pace, the western auto factory had already started to purchase the necessary parts from Han Country. Otherwise, they could only develop them themselves and avoid the patent barrier. This made it difficult for them to take a step forward.

Moreover, recently, the Han people had come up with a new plan to reduce fuel consumption in the automotive industry. It was a hybrid power. They upgraded the electric power system of cars to 48 volts. Then, they would start the car, restart the engine, cruise, and so on. With the help of the electric motor, it could greatly increase efficiency. It would reduce the energy consumption.

"The future era will be the world of electric cars." Musk started to persuade them. They only had this idea, this belief, but they had to put this idea into reality. It required a huge amount of investment.

They needed financing. They even needed several rounds of financing. At this time, they had to find a big company to endorse it. No matter which angle they looked at it from, Apple Company was the most suitable.

"Electric cars are unpolluted. They are the most environmental." Musk said, "We have seen that this trend is coming. In the field of traditional internal combustion engines, we are outdated. Our cars are running out of fuel. High voltage. Many technologies are in the hands of foreign countries. This is also the main reason why General Motors ended up on the brink of bankruptcy. So... Why don't we start developing in the field of electric cars from now on... Finally, we'll be able to achieve a supercar and stand at the peak of the era. "

At this point, Musk's eyes were full of longing. "We look forward to the arrival of that era, and we also look forward to us walking step by step towards that era."

Jobs listened to the other person's introduction seriously and then said with doubt, "What does this have to do with me? We are manufacturing electronics, not cars. "

"The future electric cars will be an electronic product." Jobs, you still don't understand my idea. We need to use the internet to build cars. We use the electronics company to build cars. We don't use traditional sales channels. Each of our cars is ordered on the Internet. Deploy the configuration and then produce our cars, which will enter the high-end market. "

"However, it is destined not to be an electronic product, especially its endurance. It cannot be solved." He hit the nail on the head and pointed out the biggest problem of the electric vehicle, which was its cruising ability.

General cars had failed. Their electric vehicles were short-legged, and there was no solution.

If they wanted to increase the cruise power, they had to increase the battery proficiency. However, lead acid batteries were too heavy, so they continued to increase the number of lead acid batteries. It will increase the overall weight of the car. And then... It would increase the resistance, and finally offset the increase in electricity.

Therefore, the maximum range was a ceiling. There was no way to break through this ceiling unless a new technology was used to solve it. However, it seems that there is no technological innovation of lead acid batteries. No matter how innovative it was, it was still lead acid batteries! lead, sulfuric acid, those were all very dense.

"This is also the reason why we came to you." Musk continued, "After careful research, we have decided to use the lithium batteries in the laptop as the solution."

What?

Jobs's mouth was wide open when he heard this. "Are you joking?"

The endurance of the Apple notebook was something that other laptops could not compare with. On the one hand, this was because it had excellent battery management abilities. On the other hand, it had the most advanced lithium-ion battery from Han Country. While the other manufacturers were still using nickel cadmium batteries, the Han Country had developed advanced lithium-ion batteries for generations. There was no memory effect. It could be recharged at will and had a large capacity. It could meet the needs of users for a day.

However, lithium-ion batteries also had their shortcomings. It was easy to heat up. If it was not managed properly, it might explode. It had to be known that in the periodic table, lithium was a very lively element. When it was stored, one had to be careful.

In the Apple notebook, the most it could be was a six-pack battery. In other words, there was a six-pack lithium-ion battery inside. That was already a test of the engineers' design. What if it was an electric car? Then there should be a few thousand batteries inside, right?
