I myself have expectations for the future. Although electric vehicles are the future development trend, if they want to be popularized, they really have to face the following problems that need to be solved immediately, including:
Power supply system (including transformers)
Although manufacturers generally provide car owners with two options of fast charging or slow charging, because the current power supply system cannot be adapted, even if the home charging pile has a fast charging function, it cannot provide fast charging. It is indeed a pity, after all, 10 minutes Why do you have to wait 10 hours to fully charge the battery when you can fill it up? What's more, most apartments are still not allowed to install charging piles for various reasons. Some people may suggest that charging in a shopping mall doesn't solve the problem? And it charges for free! Yes, you can definitely do this, but the charging piles in shopping malls are usually slow charging piles (AC Charger) . If there are a large number of electric vehicles that need to be charged, it will lose its fundamental meaning, so it is not an optimal s solution.
lack of charging pile
Considering the current number of charging piles, it is indeed a big problem. If you imagine, it takes about 60 minutes to charge an electric car to 80 % on average, and it is still a fast-charging DC Charger charging pile. , How can it not affect the experience? If the amount of infrastructure cannot keep up with the mass production of electric vehicles, it will directly lead to a decline in the penetration rate of electric vehicles. Therefore, increasing the number of charging piles is the last word for popularization (it must be fast-charging charging piles). To build more electric vehicle facilities such as charging piles requires a large investment. The question is whether there is an egg or a chicken first. There is a problem, so the Malaysian government's subsequent policy formulation on related issues will directly affect the speed of the popularization of electric vehicles.
Enhance battery durability
According to some foreign statistics, the lithium battery of an electric vehicle will lose about 10-15 % after 8 years. At present, the price of raw materials for manufacturing lithium batteries continues to rise. After 8 years, should I replace the battery or replace the electric car? If it is to replace electric vehicles, will the car dealers and the government provide some replacement subsidies for car owners? After all, compared with fuel vehicles, the most profitable battery for electric vehicles is the battery. If the price drops too much, how many people will still be willing to buy it? It's not easy to make money these days ...
Electricity charge standard
In terms of the current power generation model in Malaysia, electricity costs are generally high. Once the demand for charging increases significantly, Malaysia will need to spend more to purchase coal for power generation. Will charging be more expensive than gasoline by then? After all, at present, renewable energy power generation in Malaysia only accounts for 18% of the total power generation, which means that more than 80% of power generation still relies heavily on coal power generation. You must know that the cost of coal power generation is not cheap at all, and the purchase cost will increase due to the instability of coal prices at any time.Summarize
Although I personally yearn for the popularization of electric vehicles, the imagination space that an electric vehicle can bring to you is huge. From a commercial point of view, the development of electric vehicles will lead to the rise of a series of industries. However, because the government vigorously promotes the tax exemption policy for electric vehicles, it is impossible not to face the fact that the taxation of fuel vehicles will be affected to a certain extent. When government revenue decreases, the money that can be invested in infrastructure construction will naturally also be affected. By then It depends on the cooperation between the government and car dealers. So no matter how beautiful the ideal is, only when the above four elements are resolved, and only when a consensus is reached between the Malaysian government and car dealers, can popularization be realized, so let us look forward to that day together!Well, the above is the content shared with you today.
