Electric vehicle batteries, buy or rent?

Electric vehicles, as gradually as bikes in public life popularized. Yangzhou city firm recently launched a rental battery battery service, has created quite a stir. Rent or buy? Many people began to plan together.

Trouble: several hundred dollars per year for battery

Mr. Home a year ago bought a electric car, but now how long the ride would not charge. “Merchant said I batteries are used improperly, leading to shorter battery life, and now need to replace the battery.” Mr. Habitat learned about electric car battery market, the average brand they have to several hundred dollars.

Firm in a battery electric vehicle, the reporter also met Ms. Shi to buy batteries, she said: “At home, three motor vehicles every year to this time we should change the batteries.” Ranks as Mr. and Ms. facilities such as electric vehicles Battery replacement lot of trouble many people.

Initiative: leasable electric car batteries

Urban, a battery firm, operating battery maintenance businesses, recently launched a battery electric car rental business. Section 4 yuan per month, including three 36-volt battery also only costs 12 yuan a month. The introduction of this service, so that both are fresh and some people did not understand, the batteries can also be rented?

Mr. Xu told reporters that the firm owner, launched the service less than a month, it made more than 60 single-business. He said: “limited tenure, pay some deposit fill in a procedure on the line, our quality control, customer ease of use, this approach very attractive to the public.”

Wondering: rent or buy, which is more cost-effective?

Mr. Xu boss calculations, calculated in accordance with 36-volt battery, new battery life generally 18 months, but most people are used improperly, this life is also reduced. He said that according to 12 yuan a month rent calculation, 18 months spent 216 yuan, but at least buy a new 400 yuan or so. Rent battery, allowing the public to reduce 1 / 3 battery investment.

Many people said that this new consumption patterns for the feeling of some incompatible. Mr Zhou said the public, rent the battery, after all, not their own, even bother keeping, say, rent the battery enough security? How to use the process of division of responsibilities? Many people hope that the details of the market can be more standardized.

Honda and GS Yuasa

Honda president described a joint venture with GS Yuasa lithium battery development to promote the whole story

Honda and GS Yuasa (GS Yuasa) announced that they have to set up a joint venture of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries have reached a basic agreement. Honda president Takeo Fukui said at a press conference, "in the current critical situation, to further accelerate the development of advanced environmental technologies, and offer attractive merchandise to customers is the key to survival." Fukui and GS Yuasa explains the common reasons for setting up a new company, and pointed out that the short term will not change the number of battery suppliers to the situation; GS Yuasa frankly stated that the new president Yi Tian Cheng and GS Yuasa joint venture with Mitsubishi joint ventures do not conflict, and is expected to achieve synergies.

Q: When will the new lithium battery, at what scale production? The current investment amount? Want to first apply to the new lithium battery which models? Toyota and Panasonic have set up a joint venture company "Panasonic EV Energy" Ltd., Nissan Motor and NEC has also set up "Automotive Energy Supply", Honda's action seems a bit late. This new company will be inherent?

Fukui: investment, the Honda plans 15 billion yen investment (about 168 million U.S. dollars) for about half of the registered capital. Since the spring of 2009 in Japan, North America and European launch of the new hybrid Insight uses nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries and other reasons, it is hard to say please a new battery production time and application of models, but we will put into operation as soon as possible The goal, I believe that we will not fall behind other companies.

Reporter: When to start thinking about setting up a new company? In addition, Honda had a number of supplier companies are purchasing from the battery, after the establishment of the new company is to plan it? Consider whether lithium batteries for fuel cell vehicles and other environmentally friendly car?

Takeo Fukui: Honda of many programs in recent years. And GS Yuasa battery business, beginning a few years ago has carried out its business in the lithium battery. In addition, the latest "ASIMO" is used to provide a dedicated GS Yuasa lithium heap. If farther back, motorcycle batteries is our common and GS Yuasa joint development, the two companies have business dealings from the early years. About setting up a new company from 1 year ago (late 2007) began to discuss specific issues. The just released in such an environment, we did not expect the global economy should there be such a big change, but even if the financial crisis will not occur at this time announced.

About the future business development, we plan to be the initial stage of hybrid system for the Honda "IMA (Integrated Motor Assist)" as the goal of promoting cell development, the project will have the exclusive products in a short time to develop. After that the business will be done in consultation with GS Yuasa.

In addition, the currently used nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries from Sanyo and Matsushita purchased the two companies, and will continue to purchase from the two companies.

The original intention of the new company's goal is the achievement of course, the competitiveness of the world's first commodity, but one of the joint venture partner Honda will still be the battery buyers. Honda will be on the Q (quality) C (cost) D (delivery) decided to assess whether the joint venture to purchase the battery products. From the results point of view, if the new company all products (lithium batteries) can be used by Honda, it certainly is the best.

Q: Honda has repeatedly said earlier, the technology is still in the process of development of the car battery, the best purchase from a number of companies. To wait until the future prospects, and only after a look at a company. The cooperation with GS Yuasa mean that the technology landscape is clear?
Fukui: Generally speaking, the current battery there is still much room for development, I think the future may also be many new concepts battery. While looking forward to this, but the most practical solution at this stage, or lithium batteries, therefore, we believe that battery manufacturers and automotive companies to develop is the fastest way to implement goals.

Reporter: GS Yuasa and Mitsubishi Motors has been with Mitsubishi formed a joint venture company "Lithium Energy Japan". How do you intend to approach to distinguish between the two (joint venture) company's battery development?

Yi Tian Cheng: The new company set up with the Honda hybrids will be lithium battery research and development and production and sales of the company running. The Lithium Energy Japan is engaged in electric cars lithium battery business of the company. Product line is obvious. Of course, a clear division of the company will also develop, manufacture and development of production sectors. But the long view, many are expected to achieve synergies.

Reporter: GS Yuasa how to treat a number of car manufacturers and the strategy? In addition, just now you mentioned that a clear distinction between use and hybrid electric vehicles using lithium batteries, exactly where the difference between the two?

Yi Tian Cheng: electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles with lithium battery manufacturers are not separate from the development, and then to the car manufacturers "use" of goods. But should be on the car's driving pattern and configuration and other conditions were "special order." In other words, the battery will start from the design stage in consultation with the automotive manufacturers, and must be jointly developed by both products. Accordingly, the Company jointly set up the production of hybrid and Honda's new lithium battery is an inevitable trend. Of course, the future may arise due to the changing times in different ways, but at this stage with the Honda or Mitsubishi Motors to jointly develop the most natural form.

In addition, hybrid electric vehicles using lithium batteries used and the difference is that the former only the battery power source, so battery capacity must be larger. Which the power source for the battery and engine, so no great capacity, but because the output power during acceleration and deceleration of the electric power regeneration, to be very frequent charge and discharge. Therefore, the hybrid with a lithium battery capacity is small, but it must be good for the battery charge and discharge performance. These factors determine the content of their development are different.

Reporter: Honda may also take stake in GS Yuasa method. Why choose a joint venture?

Fukui: I think there is not much meaningful stake. In addition, the establishment of a new company in the battery business, so by holding the battery manufacturer GS Yuasa most, holding a small semi-Honda is the best form of joint venture (joint venture production time to prepare for the spring of 2009, is headquartered in the GS Yuasa Kyoto headquarters, the site also GS Yuasa Fukuchiyama mayor of the field-cho production base, holding the ratio of GS Yuasa 51%: Honda 49%, the joint venture's business is described as "lithium-ion battery production, sales and R & D "- Editor's Note.)

Reporter: Panasonic acquisition of Sanyo Electric to bring the new company set up what are the implications?

Fukui: I see by the newspaper on the Sanyo Electric Matsushita implemented TOB (the stock tender offer) of the message. GS Yuasa and we long ago began to consider setting up a new company. Therefore not affected.

Scientists develop new catalysts for fuel cells

Methanol fuel cell is an alternative to fossil fuel cells, efficient use can be a long time. The fuel cell through the use of electro-oxidation of the chemical reaction to produce electricity. Typically, the induced chemical reactions inside a fuel cell requires platinum catalyst, as platinum is an expensive metal, so the use of this technology is very limited. It is reported that chemists Jose E Barranco will likely change this situation. According to his research, the use of cheaper fuel cell catalysts has been developed. Barranco with nickel, niobium, antimony and ruthenium as a catalyst made of alloy, the content of platinum in the catalyst to a minimum (only l%). The new alloy also improves the catalytic process of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide conversion. With the successful test catalysts, Barranco want to experiment more in-depth, the efficiency of the catalyst increased 9-13 times. This also means that the efficiency of methanol fuel cells will be increased by 50% or more.

Semiconductor Solar cell market

According to Taiwan's Commercial Times reported, the world's largest semiconductor equipment maker Applied Materials CEO Mike Splinter 28 in Japan in the 2008 World Conference, said the operator, by this wave of global financial turmoil, the semiconductor market boom in the next few quarters are difficult to see the response, fear of the semiconductor market in 2009 will continue to slump until 2010, the new technology into the market, only to see signs of recovery. In addition, Mike Splinter optimistic about the solar cell market, and that green energy will create new industries.

Semiconductor market by the global financial turmoil, domestic and international semiconductor companies to begin next year bearish sentiment, which Applied Materials CEO Mike Splinter first to comment on next year's market conditions. He said that in the U.S. subprime mortgage and financial turmoil, the semiconductor market economy does poorly, and in the next few quarters are difficult to see the response, and the current slowdown will continue into 2009, the equipment market will be affected.

In fact, the recent DRAM and NAND prices fell, leading to memory manufacturers have slashed capital expenditure of more than 5 percent next year, as foundry or IDM plant capacity utilization fell, the same start next year under the revised capital expenditure by about 20% to 30% range. Japanese DRAM maker Elpida CEO Yukio, attended the meeting in Japan pointed out ISSM 2008, DRAM will have to wait until the second half next year better then the rest of the market may be only 2 to 3 family business who survived.

Mike Splinter said in 2009, the semiconductor market in the doldrums, now appears to wait until after 2010, the industry began to import new technologies or products, such as solid-state disk (SSD) will drive the demand for high-capacity NAND, or a foundry to increase by 65 and advanced 45-nanometer production process, began to increase procurement of new equipment, when the economy will begin to enter the recovery phase.

Mike Splinter, although bearish next year, semiconductors, solar cells, but very optimistic about the market's growth potential. He said that in the next 5 to 8 years, the cost of solar power will be lower than conventional thermal power, and in support of Governments, the solar cell market will grow 20% per year, and the green energy business opportunity will create new industries, which also is the most growing industries in the future.

Applied Materials has invested heavily last year to begin the layout of polycrystalline silicon and thin film solar cell equipment market, so this year, and the panel of semiconductor equipment orders as expected, but full of solar equipment orders, Applied Materials, operating performance is not bad, Mike Splinter had a recent interview with foreign media access said that this year the solar energy industry accounts for about 10% of revenue to be material, have a chance next year, the proportion of 25%.

Lithium Battery Energy saving Upsurge

With the constant fluctuations in international oil prices, energy saving environmentally friendly lithium battery in the limelight once again a hot topic. From 6 months, the number of international auto companies and electronics companies are using large-scale lithium battery joint investment. Including Toyota and Matsushita, Nissan and NEC, Volkswagen and Sanyo, Bosch and Samsung, they believe that lithium batteries in the next few years will gradually replace the nickel-metal hydride batteries, lead the direction of development of hybrid vehicles. Li-ion battery in the heat of global investment background, China's automotive enterprises in this research work is in what kind of? Experts on the lithium battery is holding what kind of attitude? Recently, the reporter interviewed specifically on this issue who has studied the domestic lithium battery, several experts.

Beijing Institute of Electric Vehicle Engineering Center Deputy Director Lin Cheng

Study of lithium iron phosphate has been a breakthrough

Lin Cheng told reporters, demanding automotive lithium batteries. It requires that the vehicle used in a variety of conditions, must protect the security, can not occur fire, explosions and other accidents. The first was for battery electric vehicles, in this country has made great breakthroughs have begun to take industrial scale. But 5,6 years ago, with the battery powered vehicles are often some accidents, such cells will gradually be diluted. Now, the domestic lithium battery research progress quickly, especially in the battery safety issues, has made great progress.

Lin Cheng told reporters, lithium batteries include lithium manganese oxide and lithium iron phosphate batteries. At present, the development of the domestic lithium manganese oxide has begun to take shape. Lithium iron phosphate as safer, longer life, will become an important direction for future development of lithium batteries, but also abroad, the focus of research and development of the automobile. At present, lithium iron phosphate studies of good progress, especially in some of the patent on a breakthrough, this time for the Beijing Olympic Games is a passenger car with a self-developed lithium iron phosphate lithium battery.

"Of course with the study abroad compared to lithium batteries, the domestic lithium battery research still lags far behind, but the domestic lithium battery emphasis on increasing, the future will be the R & D focus." Lin Cheng told reporters.

Henan Huanyu Group lithium battery industry technology Deng Lun-ho, deputy chief engineer

Large-scale lithium batteries for electric cars need some time

Henan Huanyu Group is a component from the battery to the battery cell manufacturing plastics and related hardware, equipment manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, a complete industrial chain of the Enterprise Group, has undertaken the project of Science and Technology Li-ion battery research and development.

"At present the domestic lithium battery research and abroad, the gap is mainly reflected in the battery control system and power management systems." Deng Lun-ho told reporters that now the domestic lithium battery research for development in their respective state. Currently, some companies have been able to provide the corresponding lithium battery electric vehicle accessory products, supporting the general lithium batteries can run 200 to 500 km.

Deng Lun-ho told reporters that now the price is too high the domestic lithium battery, power management system problem has not yet been well resolved. Charging electric vehicles also face the problem. Currently, the general line at home can not charge lithium batteries for electric vehicles must be equipped with a small dedicated charger, and charging time is very long and very troublesome. Abroad, in order to solve this problem, generally regarded charging stations and gas stations together. China is now charging stations have not established a large scale.

Deng Lun-ho believes that the current consumer acceptance of electric vehicles equipped with lithium batteries it still more difficult: "the price of an ordinary electric car is about twice the same configuration or even higher gasoline locomotives, domestic consumers have not enough economic prepared to accept the power and electric vehicles. "

China Electric Power Research Institute engineer Chuang Feng

Optimistic about the prospects for the development of lithium iron phosphate

Chong Tong, told this reporter, the electric vehicle battery research and development work has gone from lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries to the development of lithium batteries, each battery advantages and disadvantages.

The earliest to appear in lead-acid batteries, used in the longest time, belonging to the battery series. The best safety performance lead-acid batteries, rare explosion, fire and other phenomena, energy storage effect is not ideal. Later, people developed a nickel-metal hydride batteries, store energy and power than the effect of the ideal lead-acid batteries, but due to nickel-metal hydride battery in the charging of hydrogen generated in the process prone to explosion, so the nickel-metal hydride batteries in a business may or may not state.

To the year 2000, people developed a lithium battery. Lithium batteries are lead-acid storage battery of power 2 to 3 times, but because it contains lithium-ion active in the metal layer surface, prone to spontaneous combustion in the air, explosions, etc., higher risk. So now the major countries is to control the development of lithium batteries is safety and stability.

"Charging a lithium battery would be able to cycle around 1000, in which the stored energy of lithium iron phosphate is better than lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganese oxide effects worse, but it's the best safety performance, than lead-acid battery energy storage much higher, so now the most promising lithium iron phosphate. "Chuang Tong said.

Society of Automotive Engineers of China, director Chen Quanshi branch of electric car

Three problems of domestic lithium battery research

Quan-Shi Chen said in an interview: "Now the state attaches great importance to the study of lithium batteries, '863 'project, the state invested a total of 66 million yuan, all development work for the lithium battery. We and Japan, the United States such as walking in the lithium battery research and development in the forefront of the developed countries, China's lithium battery manufacturing precision, equipment, standards, etc. there is a certain gap between R & D details. "

Quan-Shi Chen told reporters that at present there are three issues of domestic lithium battery research. The first is the consistency of manufacturing. Since the lithium battery manufacturing technology and equipment there is a gap, the domestic lithium battery production technology mixed, manufacturing standards has not yet reached agreement. Lithium batteries used in electric vehicles are connected in series or in parallel, if the consistency issues are not well, then the large-scale production of lithium batteries used in electric vehicles will not be able.

Followed by the intellectual property rights. Currently in the study of lithium iron phosphate has made a breakthrough, but the U.S. patent in this area, so although some of our links to independent research and development, but in intellectual property issues, but also do not know how to respond.

The third issue is the selection of raw materials. Now the production of raw materials used in lithium batteries can not all imported, mainly from China, but domestic raw materials, through international certification, to produce lithium-ion batteries in order to be internationally recognized, so the link in the certification of raw materials and also some problems.
