An ideal car without a new car launch, the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show brings advances in electric vehicles and smart driving.
Ideal expects to form a product layout of “1 super flagship + 5 range-extending electric models + 5 high-voltage pure electric models” by 2025, targeting the market of more than 200,000 yuan. With the launch of electric vehicle products, 3,000 overcharging stations will be built successively, covering 90% of expressways and major cities. Sun Guangmin, vice president of the ideal charging network, said that the ideal charging station uses four charging piles as a unit, and each station builds three 2C fast charging piles and one 4C super charging pile. This is the best model after ideal calculations.
Next year, Ideal will launch its first pure electric vehicle, which is “the world’s first model equipped with 4C Kirin batteries”. Li Xiang, the founder and CEO of Ideal Auto, and Zeng Yuqun, chairman of Ningde Times, walked onto the booth together, and the two parties signed the “Comprehensive Strategic Agreement”.
Previously, Jikrypton 009 ME version was announced to be equipped with Ningde era “CTP3.0 Kirin battery”. “Later Auto” learned that this battery is not a 4C battery.
In terms of smart driving, Li AD Max 3.0’s urban NOA navigation assisted driving function will be launched in the second quarter and expanded to 100 cities by the end of the year. Lang Xianpeng, vice president of Li Auto’s autonomous driving, announced that NOA’s navigation-assisted driving system software and services will be free for life, and AD Max users will also be upgraded to AD Max 3.0 for free.
In the past quarter, Li Auto delivered a total of about 526,000 vehicles, ranking first in sales of new energy vehicles worth more than 300,000 yuan, and also ranked first in sales of SUVs worth 300,000 to 500,000 yuan, including fuel vehicles.
Liu Jie, vice president of ideal sales, said that the number of ideal stores currently exceeds 300, and is expected to reach 410 by the end of 2023, covering 150 cities, covering first-, second-, and third-tier cities, and fourth-tier cities will also Over 30 are covered.
The ideal electric car is coming
Ideal Auto will provide an 800V overcharging solution to achieve 10 minutes of charging and a battery life of 400 km. The core technology is a high-voltage electric drive system based on the third-generation power semiconductor, which has 4C (referring to the battery charging within a quarter of an hour. Fully charged battery, thermal management system with wide temperature range and 4C supercharge network.
After the whole vehicle is on the high-voltage platform, it needs to upgrade the electric drive. The core of the upgrade is to use silicon carbide devices in the power module. Ma Donghui, president and chief engineer of Ideal Automobile, said in an interview with the media: “Through our in-depth self-research and self-control, we are confident that we can reduce the cost of this silicon carbide. Silicon carbide adopts self-research and foundry methods. Taping out is being done, and the pass rate is constantly improving.”
According to the plan, Ideal will launch two pure electric models this year. Li Auto said that the first pure electric model will become the world’s first model equipped with CATL’s 4C Kirin battery.
At the same time, Ideal also disclosed the corresponding energy replenishment plan. Before the end of May, the first batch of 25 ideal car supercharging stations will start trial operation and be open to all electric vehicle owners. Each station is equipped with 3 fast charging piles and 1 4C supercharging pile.
By the end of this year, Ideal expects to complete the construction of more than 300 high-speed overcharge stations, covering the four major regions of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, the Greater Bay Area and Chengdu-Chongqing. Next year, Ideal expects to build more than 700 high-speed supercharging stations, and plans to build 3,000 in 2025, covering 90% of the national high-speed mileage and major cities.
City NOA opens 100 cities this year
Like Xiaopeng and Wenjie, Li Auto should get rid of its reliance on high-precision maps. The autonomous driving system can perceive, make decisions, and plan in real time, so as to realize autonomous driving in complex urban scenes.
Li Auto said that it already has the most intelligent driving training mileage in China. The training mileage has reached more than 400 million kilometers, and the duration has reached more than 10.74 million hours, which is equivalent to a car driving non-stop for 1226 years. And these data are still increasing and increasing exponentially. It is expected that by next year, the training mileage of the ideal car will double again.
Li AD Max 3.0’s urban NOA navigation assisted driving will be launched in the second quarter, and will be launched in 100 cities before the end of the year. This is a very aggressive goal in the industry. The Wenjie M5 smart driving version released the day before plans to reach 45 unmapped cities in the fourth quarter of this year. Xiaopeng plans to launch smart driving in more than 50 cities this year.
Li Auto adheres to standard intelligent driving, and Li AD Max 3.0 city NOA navigation assistance system software and services are free for life. AD Max users will also upgrade to AD Max 3.0 for free. Lang Xianpeng, vice president of Intelligent Driving of Li Auto, believes that “Li AD Max is an asset of the user, not a fee. Intelligent driving should be the ability to assist everyone, not a few people.”
Lang Xianpeng said: “The product definition for Pro is the best high-speed assisted driving, and Max is the best urban assisted driving. I think more and more people may buy Max. It depends on whether our product technology is good or not. Doing well enough also depends on whether the needs of users are stimulated.”
