Rick Wagner also rubbed his temples when he saw this scene.

If Kirin hadn't launched new battery technology yet they wouldn't be that worried.

Now Kirin battery new technology makes them have to worry.

As a think tank employee just said, if the cost of Kirin is less than US$10,000, it will definitely steal a large number of customers.

It doesn't matter whether an electric car can run long distances.

Because most people basically don't run long distances, they spend most of their time wandering around the city.

At this time, a woman in the conference room was swiping a brush and calculating something.

After a while she calculated a result.

"Everyone, please stop arguing." Will Fandom put down the pen in her hand and said.

Veer Fandom is thirty-two years old, and her appearance can only be described as average, but her academic qualifications rank among the top three.

Everyone stopped when they heard Veer Fandom. Although she was a woman, no one would look down upon her.

"Weil, what do you think differently?" Rick Wagner asked.

“According to my calculations just now, an electric vehicle costs about US$25 per 100 kilometers in electricity, but a fuel vehicle only requires 8 liters of oil per 100 kilometers, which is less than US$18.

For this reason alone, users will not choose electric vehicles, especially in winter when electricity bills will rise.

As long as users are not stupid, they will not choose electric vehicles.

At best, this thing can only become a toy for rich people, and it is impossible to promote it on a large scale." Will Vandom said.

After hearing her words, everyone remembered that they had not calculated this.

According to Veil Vandome, fuel vehicles are the way to go.

You must know that the electricity rates in Lighthouse Country are different from those in China.

Power plants in the lighthouse countries are all capital-run, and their electricity prices will fluctuate according to costs, unlike Huaxia Electric Power, which is controlled by the state.

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]

For this reason alone, fuel vehicles completely beat electric vehicles.

"Yes, why didn't we think of this? Moreover, electric vehicles must withstand the test of the market.

We don’t have to worry at all that electric vehicles will take away the market from fuel vehicles.”

"Our country has a vast territory and a small population. The mileage of electric vehicles is its Achilles' heel. As long as we promote it in terms of mileage, normal users will not choose electric vehicles."

“Kirin Group built electric cars simply because they were technically incompetent, so they thought of using electric cars to overtake in corners.

I think we are too nervous about this matter. If we switch to another company to build electric vehicles.

I believe this meeting will not be held today."

"Building cars is not making chips. Building cars is not much simpler than making chips. Even if Kirin crosses over to build cars, so what? We don't need to worry about it at all."

"It will take at least three to five years for electric vehicles to pass the market test. It will not be too late for us to find ways to deal with them after they are launched."

....

Rick Wagner thought about it and the man named Sarif was right.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the Qilin Group, he would have been too nervous.

"Boss, if you are worried, we can also study electric vehicles, even if electric vehicles surpass fuel vehicles in the future.

As long as we have the technology at hand, we won't be so passive.

Didn’t Kirin form an electric vehicle ecological alliance?

We just have to wait for their alliance to form and set standards for electric vehicles.

At that time, we will purchase things from various manufacturers and assemble them.

I think the R&D cost of electric vehicles will never be higher than that of fuel vehicles.

But I don't think this will happen unless the price of oil rises to $130 a barrel.

Otherwise, the driving cost of a fuel vehicle will still be lower than that of an electric vehicle." Weier Fandom added.

Rick Wager's eyes lit up when he heard her words. GM could also research electric vehicles.

If electric vehicles really replace fuel vehicles one day, as long as they have the corresponding technical reserves at hand.

They can also launch electric vehicles by then.

"Ville Fandom, I'll leave the electric car to you. Do you have confidence in this matter?" Rick Wagner looked at her and asked.

"Boss, do you mean that the company will set up an electric vehicle research and development department and I will be in charge of it?" Will Vandom asked in confusion.

"Yes." Rick Wagner nodded.

"This..." Will Fandom hesitated.

Who knows that the company will get rid of this department one day when it can't figure it out. Once the department is abolished, she will definitely be laid off.

Although being the head of the new department looks very impressive, it is not as comfortable as her staying in the think tank department.

Isn’t it better to be the head of a department than to be the head of a department in a think tank department?

"Boss, I'm not good at this. You'd better arrange for someone else to take charge." Will Fandom said after hesitation.

"Since you don't want to, forget it." Rick Wagner said.

He didn't want to force the other party to do this either.

Having said that, there is no need to continue this meeting.

Rick Wagner decided to end today's meeting.

...

At the same time, major automakers in Detroit...

No.

To be precise, all global car manufacturers have held meetings on this matter.

Most car manufacturers feel there is no need to pay attention to this matter.

First of all, it will take at least five or six years for electric vehicles to pass market verification.

Such a long time is enough for them to find strategies to deal with electric vehicles.

Even if fuel vehicles are completely defeated by electric vehicles, they can still join the ranks and build electric vehicles together.

It was really a bit too stressful for them this time.

...

Automobile companies are no longer nervous about this matter, but will oil companies be nervous about it?

Oil companies will no longer be nervous.

Petroleum is the blood of industry, and industry cannot live without petroleum.

If the market demand for oil decreases, they can reduce oil extraction and then increase the price of oil.

There is nothing to lose for them.

The quantity and price of oil are interchangeable.

This is how the sense of crisis brought to the automobile industry by Kirin Group's electric vehicles ended.

...

But the new technology brought by Kirin Battery has aroused netizens' joy.

"Kirin Group's new technology is really awesome. I never thought charging could be so fast."

"The refueling speed is not as fast as the charging speed. Qidian Qilin Group should build electric vehicles as soon as possible."

"The reason why it can charge so fast is because the battery capacity of mobile phones is small. If you really put the electric car in the car, it won't charge so fast."

"Ahem, why did the topic turn to cars? Shouldn't we celebrate that our mobile phones will no longer have to be charged for half a day?"

"A full charge in ten minutes is indeed something to celebrate. Smartphones consume power too quickly.

If we have new technology, we don’t have to worry about power consumption.”
