Introduction: After rejecting the invitation from and Apple , it took the initiative to "build a factory in the United States." What does this Chinese enterprise want to do?
Although my country’s development in the field of cutting-edge science and technology started late and its foundation is relatively weak, this does not mean that our country does not have world-leading technologies in the field of cutting-edge science and technology, such as our country’s manned space technology, 5G network technology, and new energy vehicles and other technologies have been at the forefront of the world; with my country's strong support for the field of new energy vehicles in recent years, many new energy giants have been born in the country, such as Ningde Times one of them!
CATL has become a giant in the field of new energy batteries
As the world’s number one manufacturer of new energy batteries in terms of installed capacity, CATL’s strength is undoubtedly very strong; when the global new energy vehicle market first began to develop, CATL We took a fancy to the opportunity of this market development and focused on the research and development of battery technology in the field of new energy vehicles. With the continuous efforts of CATL, the ternary lithium battery it developed has been sought after by the market. As a company focusing on batteries , CATL opened its doors from the very beginning and sought various cooperation opportunities, so that most new energy electric vehicles on the market now use batteries from CATL; this has also made CATL a new A giant in the field of energy batteries!
refused Apple’s invitation
With the continuous research and development of CATL’s battery technology, the world’s largest new energy battery car company, the United States Tesla , has also reached a cooperation with CATL; in order to enter the field of new energy vehicles, it even Even Apple in the United States took the initiative to send people to negotiate with CATL, hoping that CATL would build a battery factory in the United States and develop batteries specifically for Apple. However, this invitation was rejected by CATL. After all, CATL is the third company in the industry. A major battery supplier has no shortage of orders, so CATL can naturally ignore Apple’s overbearing invitation!
takes the initiative to "build a factory in the United States"
You must know that Apple Company has always wanted to enter the field of new energy vehicles, and Apple's electric vehicle project has been developed for several years, but it has been slow to develop in the battery field. breakthrough, so we have never seen Apple’s electric cars; as the world’s largest technology giant by market value, being able to become Apple’s supply chain was once a dream of many Chinese companies, but CATL doesn’t take it seriously. , this is also something that is beyond the expectations of many people; but what is unexpected is that not long after CATL rejected Apple’s invitation, it took the initiative to express its desire to build a factory in the United States. So what exactly does CATL want to do? ?
What does this Chinese enterprise want to do?
In fact, CATL’s rejection of Apple’s invitation and its initiative to build a factory in the United States are two different things. The rejection of Apple is because the Apple car supply chain is not stable, and CATL will naturally not do immature projects; and CATL’s decision to build a factory in the United States Judging from the detailed plan, CATL has its own considerations in taking the initiative to build a factory in the United States. CATL wants to spend US$5 billion to invest in building factories in North America and provide battery production and services to Tesla and other car users. , this will further expand the market size of CATL. After all, South Korea's LG, SKOn and other new energy battery manufacturers have plans to build factories in the United States. Naturally, CATL will not miss this big market, and in addition to Tesla, the United States has In addition, there are also automobile manufacturers such as General Motors and Ford Motor Co., which are also partners of CATL!
In my opinion, for a technology giant like CATL, if it wants to become a world-class new energy battery manufacturer, it must go abroad and enter the world stage, and taking the initiative to build a factory in the United States is undoubtedly CATL. It is the first step to enter the Chinese market; if it can win the US market, it will be natural for CATL to win other new energy battery markets around the world. This is a necessary step for CATL’s comprehensive layout. I don’t know what the impact will be on it. What do you think of this?
