Influenced by the world environment and local policy factors, more and more enterprises have joined the field of electric vehicle manufacturing, making the development of electric vehicles a hot topic at present. A few days ago, Bowei automobile helium leak detection equipment manufacturers from a famous foreign media interview with the world's richest man Bill Gates, the media will let it express the current view of electric vehicles.
In the interview, Bill Gates believes that from the current development point of view, electric vehicles still have a high premium, of course, with the development of cars, in the next ten years, the overflow value of electric vehicles will gradually reduce to 0. In this development process, he believes that passenger cars are the most promising (in the industry), and therefore more and more start-up car companies have begun to produce pure electric vehicles in large quantities.
However, Bill Gates said that in the development of this decade, the range of electric vehicles is still the biggest problem, and it is also the main factor that can dispel consumers' concerns about buying electric vehicles, including the leader of electric car companies, Tesla.
Although Bill Gates also revealed in the interview that he had just bought a Porsche's first pure electric car Taycan, the shape design is really cool, and he also likes it very much, but it also has a high product premium. At the same time, if you want to choose this car to run long distances, then its charging compatibility and charging time will become a problem.
According to the 2019 Global Electric Vehicle data, only 2.21 million pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles were sold worldwide throughout the year, accounting for less than 3% of global vehicle sales, an increase of 10% year-on-year. Pure electric vehicles accounted for 74% of the total, and plug-in hybrid vehicles accounted for 26%.
Bill Gates believes that in order to popularize electric cars, in addition to increasing the range, the price is also crucial.
Buffett, a good friend of Bill Gates, has previously spoken about the current development of electric vehicles. On January 23, Buffett and Tron Coin founder Sun Yuchen mentioned at lunch that for Sun Yuchen's investment in Tesla and agreed, although Buffett believes that Tesla CEO Musk is a great entrepreneur, it feels that Tesla is not a good investment company at present. Means that the current Buffett and Bill Gates feel that the current is still not the era of electric vehicles "rampant", still need to be developed.
With Tesla gradually becoming the "change-maker" of the current automotive era, not only more and more new car companies are joining the field of electric vehicles, but also many traditional car companies are increasing investment in the field of electric vehicles, hoping to compete with Tesla, including Volkswagen, GM and other world auto giants.
