From knock-off old-man's electric vehicles to industrial giant

Chapter 310 Shame Leads to Courage

Xu Yi understands traffic.

Wheel-side motors and an 800V high-voltage platform, including UWB keys, three-axis gesture recognition for smartwatches...

These stars represent the culmination of a great deal of effort in research and development.

To get the samples ready in such a short time is the result of countless engineers' hard work and dedication!
Whether you bury the meat in the rice, or the rice in the meat...

Do you want to just watch one show and then be done with it?

--impossible!!
Their Starcraft doesn't have the bad habits of high-end car companies.

Why do concept cars need to have barriers? Why are special exhibitions only shown at the unveiling or when global executives are present?

This exclusive feature is amazing!

It must be on display every day!
They only demonstrate it once every two hours!
They will also draw lucky audience members on-site to experience it.

The main focus is on being approachable!
Experience the joy of summoning mech supercars firsthand!
Of course.

The interior structure and interior design of the Brilliant U9 remain confidential to the public, and relevant protective barriers are still in place.

……

Xu Yigang stepped down from the stage.

They discovered that Wang Chuanfu and other people from several car companies were keeping a close eye on him.

It was supposed to be the prime time of the media day, but instead of staying at their own booth, they all rushed to Xingchen Auto's exhibition area!

What's going on?

They don't care about their own cars or the unveiling?

Before Xu Yi could even ask questions...

In an instant, a crowd gathered around.

That posture...that look in his eyes.

It gave him a huge fright!

--hiss.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Li... what kind of looks are those?"

Throughout the year, Xingchen Motors has consistently led the way in the new energy vehicle market and has been closely watched by its peers, something Xu Yi was well aware of.

The way Xingchen Automotive "looked at" its competitors when it first started out is how its competitors are looking at Xingchen Automotive now.

But now that this attention is on him, he is still somewhat unaccustomed to it.

If Wang Chuanfu and Li Shufu couldn't control him just now, then with the addition of Li Bin and He Xiaopeng, the lineup gradually became more powerful.

They cannot technically surpass the stars.

However, if they all rush in, even if Mr. Xu is young and strong, he may not be able to escape with the combined efforts of everyone!

...

"President Xu, Xingchen is really good at keeping things under wraps. They actually developed wheel-side motors without saying a word." Li Shufu sighed, and after thinking about it, he ultimately decided not to put his impulse into action.

He repeatedly confirmed with Wang Chuanfu and their own technical director.

This alarming suspicion was ultimately confirmed!

That's absolutely inhuman.

How much research and development has StarCraft actually invested behind the scenes?

Being a competitor is incredibly stressful.

but.

Think about it from another perspective.

Now that Starry Sky has finally revealed its true colors, it's a good thing for the industry.

They have a detailed reverse engineering manual for the range extender system on the Xingchen L7 and other vehicle details, and they will soon be able to create a hybrid SUV that is unique to Geely.

Now we're seeing technologies like UWB keys and wheel-side motors.

The use of wheel-side motors in passenger vehicles has always had theoretical support in the industry.

Many of these theories emerged very early on.

It's just that we haven't conducted in-depth research and development or implemented applications yet.

If Xingchen can do it, then they definitely can too!

-

Wang Chuanfu was also staring at Xu Yi, his mindset far more complex. BYD had previously initiated a project on wheel-side motors, and their exploration in this area was more in-depth.

I originally thought we were at the forefront of the industry.

Upon closer inspection today...

I almost lost my mind!!

In short, this technology can be summarized as follows: the front wheel doesn't turn while the rear wheel does; the left wheel doesn't turn while the right wheel does... and it can also rotate forward, backward, or at intervals with differential speed. You can control the rotation however you want.

Being able to "turn around on the spot" is just the most basic application.

Three-wheeled driving, high-speed tire blowout stability, and the use of torque vectoring to improve vehicle dynamics, etc...

With just this one feature, Xingchen has countless stories to tell.

Compared to the chassis and suspension of traditional supercars, it has taken a completely different path!

While feeling envious, I also felt a sense of loss.

For some reason, the feeling of being covered in shadows became increasingly intense.

“Mr. Xu, next time you hold a concept car unveiling event like this, please let me know in advance so I can make preparations…” Wang Chuanfu said earnestly.

"Advance notice? What are you going to prepare?" Xu Yi was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

They unveiled their concept car; does BYD still need to prepare?

Does BYD have a backup plan?
Even if BYD shifted its focus to reorganizing Denza last year, it shouldn't have happened so quickly!

Wang Chuanfu pointed to the bustling exhibition area and said, "This way I can move BYD's exhibition area next to Xingchen and ride on the coattails of the top domestic new energy vehicle brand's popularity."

Xu Yi was speechless: "..."

Although He Xiaopeng and Li Bin next to them didn't get a chance to speak, seeing the number of media present and recalling the natural traffic that Xingchen Auto had previously attracted when it was publicly exhibited, a brilliant idea suddenly came to their minds!

Don't tell me... really, don't tell me!
Wang Chuanfu may be joking when he says this, but aren't NIO and XPeng Motors both in dire need of traffic and exposure right now?

Li Bin started to think, considering that there were still a few large auto shows this year. He planned to contact the organizers in advance, since they were both new energy vehicle companies, and it would be great to ride on the coattails of Xingchen's popularity.
"Mr. Xu, have you really completed the entire 800V platform project?" Wang Chuanfu asked another question that he was extremely concerned about.

The 800V full-range high-voltage platform is a concept that was proposed by the industry a few years ago.

The reason no one does it is because it's too difficult and too costly.

It involves not only the 1200V SiC module, but also a complete set of low parasitic inductance power modules, high-voltage thin-film DC-link capacitors, EMI filters, and modular packaging issues.

Even high-voltage system components such as air conditioner compressors, DC-DC converters, and OBCs must use silicon carbide throughout, and the maximum voltage must exceed 800V.

"not yet."

Xu Yi shook his head decisively.

Achieving 800V across the entire region is a massive undertaking that heavily relies on the supply chain.

Xingchen has expanded its supplier network across the country and even the world, but it is currently only in the trial stage.

Many components have only just completed the packaging standards and are only being tested in vehicles.

They haven't even solved the problem of the 800V compressor yet. Inside the vehicle, an additional DC/DC converter is used to reduce the 800V voltage to 400V for the compressor.

The words fell.

Wang Chuanfu was slightly pleased.

BYD still has room to catch up quickly.

But then Xu Yi added, "However, the issues with the high-voltage battery pack and the 1200000V SiC silicon carbide module have indeed been resolved."

We talked about this the other day.

Wang Chuanfu was panting heavily, and took several deep breaths of fresh air.

He turned around and saw many media outlets looking at him.

hold back...

I must hold back!!
I can't live in the shadow of the stars forever!

When StarCraft first started out, it was just a small company called Karami...

It must be because I haven't been putting in enough effort that things have turned out this way!

It must be because I haven't tried hard enough!

We at BYD must also learn from our mistakes, strive harder, and work diligently to catch up!

Continue to increase R&D efforts!

One day, I'll make Mr. Xu come to me asking questions, and I'll make Xingchen live in my shadow!
　I previously confused in-wheel motors and wheel-side motors, so I'm correcting that today. There are some differences. In-wheel motors are integrated into the wheel, significantly improving unsprung mass, while wheel-side motors are integrated next to the wheel, making them easier to control the vehicle chassis, easier to mass-produce, and more reliable.
