FeedbackFor consumers, the biggest pain point of new energy vehicles is the charging problem. In order to solve this problem, the government has issued policies to vigorously support the construction of charging and swapping facilities. As of the end of June this year, China has built over 6.6 million charging stations of various types and over 2200 replacement power stations.
At present, the pain point of charging is constantly easing. However, battery range is still a key issue restricting the development of new energy vehicles. How to increase battery range and shorten charging time? We do not have any successful experience to draw inspiration from. To achieve technological overtaking, product overtaking, and industrial chain overtaking, we still need to rely on independent innovation by enterprises.
In the latest innovation laboratory launched by Ningde Times, R&D personnel are further testing the performance indicators of the new generation of power batteries - sodium ion batteries.
Since its inception in 2011, Ningde Times has been at the forefront of power battery research and development. Independent innovation is the key to its success, with one-third of the researchers in the newly established innovation laboratory being doctoral students. Research and development investment has also continued to increase, reaching 9.85 billion in the first half of this year.
Wu Kai, Chief Scientist of Ningde Times: When we see the determination of national green development and the huge market potential of transportation electrification and energy cleaning, the team is determined to make world-class power and energy storage batteries, mainly relying on technological performance advantages and lean manufacturing advantages.
Under the continuous technological innovation of leading enterprises like Ningde Times, China's power batteries have reached the world's top level. Chinese battery companies have ranked first in the global market share for many years. At the same time, the development of upstream and downstream industrial chains and clusters has been established around leading enterprises like Ningde Times. Ningde City alone has introduced and constructed over 80 lithium-ion new energy industry chain projects, forming a lithium-ion new energy industry cluster worth over 200 billion yuan, continuously driving the industry forward.
