Chapter 186: Battery revolution

"Why does Mr. Liu seem a little unhappy?" Looking at Liu Fan's expression, Mr. Wang asked with some surprise.
Liu Fan shook his head subconsciously. "Without concealing you, I have always felt contradictory since I knew that Apple was going to bet on it. In all fairness, Apple is indeed a great company. He has created a miracle in the era of smart products.
But as a competitor, I have to do something. Maybe the mall is really like a battlefield. You will meet an admirer you admire, but the opponent is an opponent after all. "
"Liu is always worried that Apple this time puts the bet on the car and instead kills himself?" President Wang guessed.
Liu Fan sighed for a while and sighed, "I don't want this anymore. In fact, I respect Jobs more. As for Cook, a typical businessman. President Wang, let's watch the press conference first."
During the communication between the two, Apple showed various parameters of the Apple car.
The total power of the motor can reach 220kW, the total peak torque can reach 460N · m, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers in 4.1s. The performance of the motor is not amazing, but it is enough to lead the electric car industry, and Apple ’s positioning is not an electric supercar after all. Cook is a boss who knows how to cater to consumers. He definitely hopes that more people can afford this. Car.
Apple's simple stacking performance is not impossible, but it is not necessary now. After all, it is impossible for Apple to make the highest price directly after starting to make a car. What will open the market.
Just like the electric car in Croatia in Eastern Europe, four motors accelerate for 100 seconds in 2.4 seconds. The problem is that it sells 1 million meters.
But on the battery later, Apple surprised the audience.
Apple car battery life has reached an amazing 1200 kilometers!
Previously, Tesla's Roadster was the best in terms of battery life, with a range of 1,000 kilometers, and then the domestic route of 1,000 kilometers. However, the comprehensive route has a range of 1,000 kilometers, and the actual battery life has been questioned.
However, Apple directly broke the 1,000 km mark and broke through to 1200 km, and it also developed its own battery, which shows how much Apple has invested this time.
Apple is very smart. They spend their R & D efforts on the blade. What are the main disadvantages of electric cars? Not only are the battery replacement frequent and expensive, the battery life is too poor, the charging is too inconvenient, or the overall performance is insufficient.
But the endurance of 1200 kilometers will definitely make many people consider buying electric cars. Even if they run long distances, as long as the servers in the distance provide charging piles, there will be no worry. Who can drive a 1200 kilometers without going to the service area to rest? .
Not to mention in the city, especially for drivers who rent and rent a car, this is a big gospel. In the past, two hundred kilometers had to find a charging pile for charging, which is very troublesome, and the charging pile is also Not easy to find. However, if the 1200 km battery life is enough, it will be enough to run for a full day while sleeping, so don't worry.
So many people are already paying attention to a question now, how much does this car sell, is there a low-profile version, will this battery be supplied to other car manufacturers.
If a large range of 1200 kilometers can be achieved, the position of electric vehicles in the entire automotive sector will definitely change. We must know that the previous 1,000 kilometers of battery life have not been popularized.
Just when everyone was shocked by Apple's battery life, Cook immediately introduced another product: Apple charging pile!
The Apple charging pile fully charges the Apple car. It only takes 40 minutes to choose fast charging. In addition, the Apple charging pile improves the current technology. Even if the car chooses the fast charging mode for a long time, the frequency of battery replacement will be extended to 8-10 years.
At the same time, Apple showed a plan for the future layout of charging piles in the United States. From the figure, it can be seen that Apple will densely charge the charging piles in the streets and alleys of the United States within one year. Cars will only be more convenient and practical than traditional cars, and Apple solves most of the disadvantages of electric cars for you.
It can be seen that Apple's development in the automotive field will go fast. It can also be understood that the automotive industry is too large. Even Apple, which was once glorious, will face absolute risks if it wants to impact this market.
Not to mention the waning apples. And Apple's behavior of wanting rapid expansion has caused many people to start to guess why they would launch Apple cars at this time. Could Apple want to rely on cars to turn around and even give up traditional devices such as mobile phones and computers in the future?
Everyone is speculating that the press conference is still going on, and Cook begins to introduce the next feature of Apple Cars: driverless technology.
Apple's car-building plan has been rumored to be dead, but Apple's self-driving technology research has always been very high-profile, the world knows.
At this time, Apple introduced its own driverless technology, and everyone was not surprised.
Cook directly showed the experimental data of Apple Cars in the field of driverless driving: 1.01 million kilometers without errors.
"It's ten thousand kilometers more than the one million kilometers before Jiuxiao ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Could it be that Apple's temper also came up and deliberately asked Liu Fan?"
Netizens naturally think of Jiuxiao.
As for whether Apple means this, it is impossible to determine.
After that, Cook showed everyone a ten-minute video. The video shows the test conditions of the Apple car ’s driverless roads, mountain roads, corners, rainy and snowy days. In the video, you can feel the huge advantages of spherical tires.
Apple Car ’s driverless safety, stability, comfort, perception and resilience are no less than Jiuxiao from the video. Of course, Apple's driverless technology is also L4.
And Cook introduced that every Apple car will be equipped with driverless options, everyone can drive by themselves, or you can leave it to artificial intelligence to drive, a new era of electric cars is coming.
There was another round of applause.
However, careful people found that Cook didn't talk deeply about the driverless part, probably because Apple is temporarily unable to talk about its own artificial intelligence technology, and the gap between it and other Mulong technology is huge.
After talking about unmanned driving, Cook continued, "Everyone knows that in addition to bringing technological innovation to everyone, there is one thing we always insist on, and that is to create experience for the majority of users and developers The best ecological environment.
And this time, in the automotive field, Apple will still adhere to this path. "
Speaking of which, a new word appeared on the screen: APPLECAROS.
"Car OS!" BYD's Wang always said unconsciously.
Liu Fan's body also leaned forward subconsciously, "The biggest hole card is coming ..."
