In recent days, the hottest event in the automobile circle is probably that Akio Toyoda, the head of Toyota Motor Corporation, publicly made comments on shelling electric vehicles. 12 17, Akio Toyoda, president of Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, said at the year-end press conference: "The more electric vehicles we manufacture, the more serious the carbon dioxide will be." "When politicians say outside,' Let's get rid of all cars that use gasoline', do they understand this truth?" Just a few weeks before Akio Toyoda made the above remarks, the Japanese government announced plans to ban the sale of gasoline vehicles from 2035.

For the government, banning the sale of fuel vehicles can be regarded as one of its achievements, but for auto companies and consumers, it is probably a bad thing to ban the sale of fuel vehicles when the time is not yet ripe. Akio Toyoda believes that electric vehicles are actually not environmentally friendly, but will aggravate pollution, because in many countries and regions, the supply of electric energy mainly depends on thermal power generation.

For automobile enterprises, the hasty transformation to produce electric vehicles will lead to the collapse of the existing business model of the automobile industry, which will lead to millions of people losing their jobs. What needs to be more cautious is that blindly following the trend of electric vehicles may be fooled. The research on internal combustion engines by China car companies has just started. At this time, turning to electric vehicles is tantamount to giving up all previous efforts. Some people want to overtake by electric cars in corners, but from the current situation, it seems that there is little hope.

In his speech, Akio Toyoda talked about Tesla, a hot new energy automobile company. Akio Toyoda believes that Tesla "seriously overestimates its own value" and "is not mature enough to affect the global automobile development trend". Akio Toyoda also used the analogy of opening a restaurant, saying that Toyota has a real "kitchen and chef", while Tesla only has its own "menu".

Under the global wave of anti-fuel vehicles, Akio Toyoda's remarks are ground-breaking, and everyone is intoxicated with the bright future of imagination and unwilling to wake up. According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, as of 20 19, 72% of China's total power generation comes from thermal power generation, which means that more than 70% of electricity is generated by burning coal or natural gas. In this context, how can electric vehicles be environmentally friendly?

Some people think that the domestic development of electric vehicles is to get rid of dependence on oil, but in fact, even if the domestic sales of fuel vehicles are prohibited, we can't get rid of dependence on oil. Because engineering plastics, synthetic rubber, jet fuel and infrastructure asphalt all have a large demand for petroleum, gasoline is only one of the fractionation products of petroleum. Therefore, the development of electric vehicles is not the key to solve the energy problem.

Let's talk about environmental protection. There is no exhaust emission during the driving of electric vehicles, but how to deal with the waste batteries of electric vehicles has always been a big problem. Waste batteries contain a lot of heavy metals and electrolytes, which will cause environmental pollution if not handled properly. If the battery life is 8 years, the first batch of large-scale decommissioning time will be around 2026. Some domestic research institutions predict that there will be 420,000 tons of power batteries to be recycled by 2022, but the world has not yet formed a complete power battery recycling standard and industrial chain.

Even if we don't talk about environmental protection, electric vehicles have many slots, and spontaneous combustion is the first problem. Whether it is millions of imported Tesla or tens of thousands of Chery ants, news reports of spontaneous combustion and fire are not uncommon. Of course, the fuel car will spontaneously ignite, but the process of spontaneous combustion of the fuel car is slow, so that passengers have enough time to get off and escape, while the spontaneous combustion of the electric car often takes only a few seconds to dozens of seconds, accompanied by an explosion, which is very dangerous.

The use environment of electric vehicles is also very limited. If it is in the cold northern region, the cruising range of electric vehicles will be greatly reduced, even Tesla models? There may not be half of the continuous mileage, the charging stations are not as dense as the current gas stations, and the charging speed is much slower than that of fuel vehicles. Buying a car was originally for convenience, but electric cars seem inconvenient.

Regarding his remarks, He, Chairman of Xpeng Automobile, released a news in Weibo on February 2 1, saying that when Nokia was acquired by Microsoft, dozens of executives could not help crying. He Xiaopeng clearly compares electric cars to Microsoft, but how can electric cars compare with Microsoft? Compared with fuel vehicles, electric vehicles have not undergone earth-shaking changes. In that year, Microsoft introduced epoch-making products.

When the automobile industry stands at the crossroads again after more than one hundred years, we will find that history is always in a constant cycle. How did the electric car lose to the fuel car a hundred years ago, and it is still the case a hundred years later. The development of the automobile industry should respect the natural selection of the automobile market, rather than forcing the transformation of automobile enterprises with a certain bill or document. As the saying goes, "strong twist is not sweet." Bombing electric cars, Akio Toyoda is really not blind this time.
