May 4 will end one of the world’s largest auto show – Beijing auto show 2016. While its main message can confidently be called now – electric cars are the future.
In the Western world (including in Russia) the best known and almost the only clear representative of electric vehicles is the products of the company Tesla Motors Elon musk. And although the merits of this company in the leading market for the electric field of the US and Europe is very serious, they are far from unique in this segment of the car market. Especially if we are talking about China.
Classic American management, L. Ron Hubbard pointed out that business is done on the lack, not excess. And the lack of cars in the minds of consumers have already created. And in China and actively use the lack of – for 2015 it has sold 370 000 new electric vehicles. It is more than 7 times more than all the cars Tesla sold in the same period of time.
This carsharing small electromobility, and electro-buses (not to be confused with trolley buses, powered from the mains!). 10 the most notable electric vehicles the cost varies from $16 500 for the 2012 model(!) years, capable manufacturer to travel on a single charge of 160 miles, and to reach a maximum speed of 125 km/HR to $65 000 for joint development of BMW Brilliance Zinoro 1E (in fact electrified BMW X1 station wagon).
The government actively supports the development of electric cars. For example, to arrange such a car easier, and the subsidy can be up to $8000, which should please potential buyers of this type car. This is done largely because of bad environment of major cities of China. And bad environment, largely caused by the large number of cars with internal combustion engines. And even low level of development of the charging network is not the visible obstacle in the development of this direction.
More proof was the dealership. Almost every are the manufacturer showed it is already a concept or a standard electric car. Interestingly, in addition to Western manufacturers, there were many Chinese. Including manufacturers from China presented the supercars on the electric range, capable to be dispersed for 3 seconds to the cherished 100 km/h, a car with autopilot, and even gadget-mobile in which the Corporation participated Aliexpress, compared with which the Tesla is just a battery on wheels. However this is still only a concept, so final conclusions will be able to do in about a year (who knows what time will Tesla do?).
And now, a moment of sadness China – today one of the main importers of oil in the world. Of course, not all the oil goes to tank, but a significant part. In the US, by the way, the same Tesla has established a working network of electric charging stations, which can be reached from one coast to the other. Thus, after 5 years can be a situation, when oil prices simply won’t need neither China nor the United States. This will lead to such prices for “black gold” that today’s will seem exorbitant.
However, this is not a call to panic and offer more actively engaged in everything connected with technology and production. Maybe before the cars get there.
