In recent years, from the perspective of the development of the car market, the charging and endurance capacity is still the most concerned issue, and the pure electric vehicle is the weakest one compared with the traditional fuel vehicle. Therefore, the endurance capacity of new energy vehicles has been improved year by year, even the endurance of NEDC has exceeded 650km, which can reduce the mileage anxiety of car owners to the greatest extent. However, there are some pure electric vehicles that run counter to the mainstream products. Their bodies are smaller, their power is weaker, their capacity is low, and their comprehensive endurance will not exceed 300km. So I can't help but ask, is there a market for this kind of pure electric vehicle that can not run far? The answer is yes. Let me give you a few examples. In fact, this kind of small pure electric vehicle with short endurance is more recognized by the European market, because this kind of small pure electric vehicle with low speed mainly meets the positioning of daily commute. Moreover, due to the narrow roads in European cities, the parking space is also very tight, and in many cases, the narrow streets need to meet the mixed traffic of pedestrians, bicycles, cars and trams. Therefore, the smaller the size of the car is, the more popular it is. Whether it is a fuel vehicle or a pure electric vehicle, European consumers prefer to choose smaller models. In addition, although the price of new cars in the European market is not high, the cost of vehicles in the later period is very large, such as high parking fees, maintenance fees and traffic fines. Therefore, in addition to individual buyers, most of the low-speed pure electric vehicles adopt the way of sharing and leasing to meet the commuting demand from point a to point B. Because this can greatly save the cost of vehicles, but also can improve the efficiency of traffic, reduce the pressure of public transport. City Walking Genie: in fact, if the Geneva Auto Show opens as usual, Citroen will release its brand new mini pure electric vehicle AMI, which is the mass production version of AMI one, positioning the pure electric mini car. And most importantly, this model doesn't need a driver's license. According to EU regulations, it only needs to be over 16 years old to drive. The traffic efficiency has been greatly improved. In terms of appearance, compared with the concept model, the whole vehicle has not changed much. It still adopts a very compact and cute design style. Only in terms of the details of the online strip, it becomes softer and more romantic. The similarity between the front and the rear of an AMI is very high. If you are not familiar with it, it is difficult to distinguish the positive from the negative. The reason is that the wheels are distributed in the four corners of the car body, and the front and rear lines are basically in the same proportion, and the front and rear lamp groups are designed in a split style, giving a strong sense of confusion. In addition, the doors on both sides of the car are also designed to be split, which makes it more difficult to distinguish the positive and negative. In terms of body size, as a micro pure electric vehicle for positioning the city, the body size of AMI is 2410 / 1390 / 1520mm, which is very pocket, smaller than the famous small smart, and the turning diameter is only 7.2m, so it is flexible enough to travel in the city. In terms of interior design, this kind of tool model can't be expected to have any sense of luxury. The shape of the center console is no different from that of the bus. In order to reduce the cost and space, the window is also designed with manual negative pressure, and the door handle is just a strap. But in return, there is really enough storage space, and the items you carry with you can find the right place. In terms of power, Tielong AMI adopts a single motor, with a maximum bulletin board of only 6kW and a maximum speed of only 45km. In terms of battery, 5.5kwh battery can provide a endurance of about 70km, and it takes 3 hours to fully charge with 220V voltage. It can be said to be a low-speed courtesy car. In terms of selling price, Citroen Ami's starting selling price (including tax) in France is about 6000 euros (about 46000 yuan), while AMI also provides long-term lease, with a long-term lease term of 48 months, requiring a down payment of 2644 euros (about 20400 yuan), and a monthly rental fee of 19.99 euros (about 154 yuan). As can be seen from various elements, it is a model built for European urban roads, and it adopts two ways of sales and leasing. This is not only true of the new smart fortwo EQ, many European car companies are keen on the research and development of small electric vehicles. At the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, smart launched its new smart EQ series. Based on the fuel version of smart, it also has the advantage of small size. In terms of battery, it is equipped with 17.6kwh battery pack, and the endurance mileage of NEDC is 159km. Although the data is not high, according to the official data of smart, such endurance mileage has exceeded the average daily travel mileage of Germany by several times, which is enough to meet the daily commute. In terms of charging time, the car can use the fast charging mode. When the charging power is 22 kW, the charging from 10% to 80% can be completed in 40 minutes. In terms of power, the new smart EQ is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 82 horsepower (60 kW) and a peak torque of 160 nm. Mini electric mini focuses on personality, which is very similar to smart in positioning. Moreover, it has also been transformed into a pure electric version. In terms of power, the maximum power of the motor is 170 horsepower and the maximum torque is 250 nm. In terms of battery, it is equipped with lithium-ion battery pack with capacity of 32.6kwh. The endurance mileage under EPA condition is 177km. It takes three and a half hours to charge the 11kw charging power from 0% to 100%; in the fast charging mode, the maximum charging power supported by mini new energy is 50KW, which takes 36 minutes to charge from 0% to 80%. In addition, in July 2019, China Automotive Co., Ltd. and (Netherlands) holding company officially signed a joint venture contract. Its established beamcar company will produce mini electric models. In the future, mini will also become. At the Geneva auto show, Fiat is also going to release its 500e model. The new car is based on the electric vehicle platform developed by FCA group. The new car is also positioned as a small alternative car in the city, with a range of about 200km. In fact, not only European manufacturers, but also Chinese automobile manufacturers are interested in the low-speed electric vehicle market, as well as the sev project, which is positioned as a small low-speed electric vehicle, with a maximum speed of 45km / h and a maximum endurance of 100km, mainly used to solve the problem of 0-20km / time urban short-distance travel. And do not rely on the charging pile, can use the 220V plug to charge directly, and the battery in the car can be disassembled and replaced, which is convenient to carry home for charging. Similar to the design concept of electric bicycle. It has set up leasing companies in Europe and delivered a small number of them, but finally stopped the project for various reasons. In fact, there are some similarities in the concept of sharing and leasing for small electric vehicles in the domestic market. Although China's hell is vast, and the price of such small electric vehicles is not superior to the mainstream compact pure electric vehicles, and it can not meet the needs of family collective travel. However, there are two purposes for this kind of car. The first is to choose a small pure electric vehicle with lower travel cost in addition to the traditional fuel vehicles that have already met the needs of family travel. The second is to be selected by the major sharing car rental platforms as a short-distance sharing car. In conclusion, the small pure electric vehicle will become the main development direction. And it doesn't conflict with the normal pure electric vehicles, which have different market positioning before. It can also be said to be a way of travel to meet different needs. So the prospect of small pure electric vehicle market is very considerable.
