Upgrading lead-acid batteries to lithium batteries may become a general trend

  Upgrading lead-acid batteries to lithium batteries is a general trend. In order to reduce costs, 90% of low-speed electric vehicles use lead-acid batteries. However, it is necessary and reasonable to upgrade lithium batteries from the perspective of national strategy, technology upgrading, economy and safety of products.

  From the perspective of technological upgrading, lithium battery has the advantages of high specific energy, long service life and environmental protection. With the further development of battery industry, it is bound to replace lead-acid battery, which is the development trend of the industry; In terms of economy, from the perspective of the whole battery life cycle, lithium battery has a longer service life, and the average service cost is not much higher than that of lead-acid battery. In the future, with technological progress and scale expansion, the cost of lithium battery will be further reduced, and its advantages over lead-acid battery will be more obvious.

  Facing the transformation and upgrading requirements of "upgrading lead-acid battery to lithium battery" brought by the low-speed electric vehicle market and the positive transformation of low-speed electric vehicles, what do low-speed electric vehicle enterprises think? To this end, China electric vehicle network interviewed Hebei Yujie Automobile Co., Ltd., a leader in the low-speed electric vehicle industry.

  It is understood that from January to April this year, Yujie's cumulative sales volume was about 30000-32000 units, still occupying the top of the sales volume of small and micro electric vehicles in the market. Although there is still no clear "identity" of low-speed electric vehicles, the production and sales figures of low-speed electric vehicles are rising. In 2015, the number of low-speed electric vehicles in China has reached about 700000, and the potential market space is huge. Taking Shandong as an example, the growth rate in 2015 reached 85.6%, and the output was as high as 347000, much higher than the national output of 142800 pure electric passenger vehicles in the same period.

  The huge market potential is often accompanied by this barbaric growth. According to the survey, there are nearly 100 brands of low-speed electric vehicles. The product quality of these brands is uneven, the after-sales service can not be guaranteed, and there are major hidden dangers in use. Based on this huge market demand, it is urgent to formulate unified technical quality management standards, formulate low-speed electric vehicle management policies, and actively guide and improve the technical level of enterprises.

  Although Yujie has been the champion of low-speed electric vehicle sales for several consecutive years, and the current low-speed electric vehicle market capacity is still very considerable, Yujie has taken new steps in brand and product planning.
