A "new national standard" lithium battery travel ecological chain thousand-person martial arts conference pushes the trend of lithium-ion electric bicycles to the public’s view, from talking about "lithium" to openly convening a thousand-person conference, the lithium battery industry is at a high speed in the field of electric bikes The development is visible to the naked eye.
Lithium-electricity is a large market of hundreds of billions. There are still many contradictions for the just starting industry, but there are also consensus. Today we will analyze several contradictions and consensuses in the application of lithium batteries in the field of electric bicycles.
Contradiction 1: The dilemma between price and quality
According to market feedback, the current consumer demand is low-priced, high-quality lithium batteries. The market requires that the price of lithium batteries continue to decrease, but in practice, low prices are often equated with poor quality. Accidents of inferior products have caused the entire industry to fail, and lithium batteries have also been labeled as "unsafe".
Contradiction 2: "Big" and "Small" dual needs
In the choice of power source, there is still a contradiction between "big" and "small" in market demand. Consumers want more and more capacity to support electric bicycles to run farther, and require electric bicycles to have smaller and smaller volumes and weights, which coincides with consumer requirements and lighter bottom needs.
Contradiction 3: Division of powers and responsibilities for lithium battery products
There are two contradictions. On the one hand, there is a contradiction between the OEMs' continuous new requirements for batteries and the inability of the battery factories to meet them. On the other hand, after a product accident, it is a contradiction whether the vehicle manufacturer or the battery manufacturer is responsible for the accident.
As we all know, the research and development cost of lithium battery technology is extremely high. This research and development cost is borne by the vehicle manufacturer or the battery manufacturer, and the proportion of each can be determined. Secondly, the safety of lithium batteries is not only related to manufacturers, but also to consumers' usage scenarios and usage habits. The division of accident responsibility needs to be further clarified.
In addition to contradictions, the lithium battery industry also has a consensus. For example, from electric vehicles to electric bicycles, lithium batteries with lighter weight and higher energy density are becoming more popular sources of power. Many guests at the Lithium Travel Ecological Chain Thousand-member Martial Arts Conference held not long ago also affirmed this trend. The proportion of leading brands in the industry is already very high.
Consensus 2: Lithium battery prices continue to decrease
With the continuous expansion of the scale of the industry and the continuous advancement of lithium battery technology, the price of lithium batteries has been decreasing year by year. In recent years, the annual decline has been between 15%-20%. According to Gaogong's lithium battery forecast, by 2025, the price of lithium batteries can be reduced by 50% on the basis of the current price. The trend of price reduction of lithium batteries is also one of the industry consensus.
Although electric bicycles have been equipped with lithium batteries for a long time, the explosion of the entire industry has just begun. We are still recruits in the face of industrial reforms. It is recommended that colleagues in the industry actively learn new knowledge of lithium battery and integrate into the tide of lithium battery as soon as possible.
