Currently electrification has become the general trend of the global automobile market. With the increase in the number of new energy vehicles in and the increasing development of charging problems, the battery swap mode has once again entered people's vision, and relevant policies to support the development of the battery swap mode have been released one after another. The Sanya Municipal People's Government recently issued the "Sanya City Action Plan for Coordinating Epidemic Prevention and Control and Boosting Economic Growth", which proposed that in order to boost the economy and restore market consumption vitality, special energy-swap subsidies will be given to the promotion of new energy battery-swap vehicles with gradient energy-swap price difference subsidies. From September 17, 2022 to March 31, 2023, the actual users of the battery swap model vehicles newly purchased in Hainan Province and registered and registered in Sanya City will be given a subsidy for energy difference, and a subsidy amount will be given according to the different purchase prices. The maximum subsidy for bicycles will be 10,000 yuan.
In recent years, the advantages of the battery swap model are gradually highlighted, and policy support continues to increase, and the battery swap model is becoming the hottest trend in the industry. However, there are still problems such as duplicate construction of energy replenishment facilities of different specifications and incompatibility of battery swaps of different models, which have also slowed down the development of the industry. How to solve this problem has become a difficult problem in the industry that urgently needs to break through. As a leading enterprise in the automobile industry, SAIC Group joins hands with heavy players to enter the battery swap market and jointly promote the development of the battery swap model.
On September 22, Shanghai Jeneng Smart Electric New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., jointly invested by SAIC Group in conjunction with Sinopec , China Petroleum , CATL , and Shanghai International Auto City , with a registered capital of RMB 4 billion. Jeneng Smart Electric will take the power battery leasing business as the core, carry out battery swap technology research and development and promotion, battery operation management, big data services, etc., build a complete ecosystem for separation of vehicles and electricity, and create a standardized platform.
In order to popularize the battery swap model, promote the unification of standards, accelerate the layout of outlets, and improve user experience, industrial giants join hands to enter the market. SAIC Group continues to increase investment in new energy vehicles, build the "seven major technical bases" of electric intelligent networking, and build a future-oriented system advantage; Sinopec and China Petroleum actively promote green transformation, continuously improve clean energy supply capabilities, and build a low-carbon life circle for people-cars; CATL brings first-mover advantages in battery research and development and manufacturing to accelerate the layout of a new battery swap track; Shanghai International Automobile City actively builds a national-level intelligent connected vehicle innovation engine to build a new smart transportation ecosystem.
In terms of the network, Jeteng Smart Electric will rely on the network of more than 50,000 gas stations spread across the country, which are spread across China Petroleum and Petroleum, to upgrade and build a "battery-swap and rechargeable" comprehensive energy service station. In the future, SAIC Group's Feifan, Roewe , MG, Maitong and other brands will launch battery swap models one after another, covering all categories such as SUVs, sedans, MPVs and commercial vehicles. Feifan R7 will become the first landing model under battery swap mode. At present, SAIC has launched a standardized battery pack built in deep cooperation with CATL - Rubik's Cube Battery. This battery can adapt to A0-D-class models, with a battery capacity of 44-150kWh, laying the foundation for battery swap.
In the first quarter of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology successively stated that it is necessary to form a unified battery swap standard, accelerate the promotion and application of battery swap mode, and promote the formulation of standards such as battery swap systems, general battery swap platforms, and battery swap battery packs. Industry analysts believe that as the national team, SAIC Group's cooperation with the "two barrels of oil" and CATL is more important to establish industry standards. Shanghai Group will provide the industry with standardized and general universal solutions. It is possible that with the help of the network channels of the two barrels of oil, it will become the maker of the standard for the battery swap industry, breaking their own affairs and promoting the high-quality development of the battery swap industry.
As the leader in the field of new energy vehicles, SAIC Group actively implements the national energy strategy and has launched a series of layouts at the beginning of my country's new energy.After more than 20 years of hard work, SAIC has become the only automobile group in China that fully implements the three technical routes of "pure electric, plug-in strong hybrid, and fuel cell ". It has invested hundreds of billions of yuan in total, forming an independent R&D team of nearly 1,000 people, and has independently mastered the "three electric" core technologies of domestic leading battery, electric drive and electronic control systems. In the future, SAIC Group will continue to carry out the research and development and promotion of battery swap technology, battery operation management, big data services, etc., build a complete ecosystem for separation of vehicles and electricity, and create a standardized platform to bring new energy vehicle owners a safe, reliable, convenient and fast high-quality travel experience.
