As we all know, 20 19 is an extremely difficult year for car companies, but in the face of the epidemic, they still choose to give generously and invest in the anti-epidemic work.

The donation funds of these car companies are mainly used for three purposes: first, they are used to fund the procurement of medical materials and related treatment work in Wuhan and other provinces and cities with serious epidemics; Second, it is used to provide epidemic prevention and control command and epidemic prevention emergency support vehicle support for Wuhan and the provinces and cities with serious epidemic situation at present; Third, reward medical personnel who have made outstanding contributions and families in need for "emergency assistance".

Tesla and Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. formally held hands.

Previously, there have been rumors that Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. will become Tesla's third battery supplier. Just last night (February 2), Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. officially announced its cooperation with Tesla. According to the announcement, Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. will provide Tesla with lithium-ion power batteries on July 1 2020, and the supply agreement will last until June 30, 2022. The specific supply was not disclosed.

Prior to this, domestic Tesla models? There are two battery suppliers, one is Panasonic, a battery manufacturer that imports Tesla cars, and the other is LG Chemical. According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, domestic models? The upgraded version of standard battery life has two different battery lives, one is 455 km and the other is 445 km. At present, it is uncertain whether Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. will become a domestic model. 3 brings a third kind of battery life, so the small value suggestion has a bad feeling about it. Buy the model produced after July 1? At 3 o'clock, remember to consult the sales staff actively.

It can be seen that after Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. officially became the third battery supplier of Tesla, the localization rate of Tesla's parts has been further improved, and it is moving towards "domestic models at the end of the year?" 3 will achieve the goal of localization of all parts. In addition, combined with the impact of the epidemic on the automobile market and the gambling agreement between Tesla and the Shanghai municipal government, what is the minimum value of the Model? There is still room for price reduction, and friends who are not in a hurry to buy a car can continue to wait and see.

BYD Han? Indoor real shot exposure

According to the previous information, BYD Korea will launch EV and DM versions, which are expected to be listed in June this year. The new car has a body size of 4980/1910/1495 mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm, and is positioned as a B+ class car, which is the same level as LaCrosse and Asian Dragon.

In terms of appearance, BYD Han's side lines are relatively smooth, and the design style of slipping back is adopted, which has a strong sense of fashion. It is worth mentioning that BYD has adopted two sets of different front faces for EV and DM.

Does DM still use dragon? The face design language, similar to BYD Qin's big mouth net design, is more atmospheric visually, while the EV version's front face adopts fully enclosed front grille design, and the penetrating chrome trim is connected with the headlight group, which is more radical and avant-garde visually.

In terms of interior, the interior of the new car is similar to the design draft previously exposed online. As the flagship model of BYD, the brown leather in the new car complements the black and silver panels, and it has a strong sense of technology and advanced. Suspended large-size central control panel and double steering wheel have a strong eye-catching effect.

In terms of power, EV models will provide single-motor two-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive models, of which the maximum power of single-motor models is 222 horsepower; The maximum power of the front/rear motor of the dual-motor four-wheel drive model is 222 horsepower and 272 horsepower respectively; The DM model is equipped with a 2.0T engine of BYD487ZQB, with a maximum power of 192 horsepower. In this hybrid system, a permanent magnet synchronous drive motor with a maximum power of 245 HP is also equipped.

First of all, it is undeniable that BYD Han's face value is still good. However, it should be noted that the premium ability of the brand is a key factor when consumers buy this level of cars. At this point, BYD is obviously not as good as Buick and Toyota. Therefore, Xiao Xiaoyou believes that BYD Han will eventually become a mass-produced product or a simple "flagship car", which will also depend on its pricing.
