Beijing Auto New Energy, SAIC Passenger Vehicle, Jianghuai Automobile, Geely Automobile... No matter if it is a Chinese brand “Civil War†or if the Chinese brand is opposed to foreign brands, in the field of new energy vehicles, the competition among car companies will be fierce. It is only for the battery companies represented by the era of Ningde to “workâ€. A component cost accounts for 1/3 to 1/2 of the total vehicle cost, which is unthinkable in the traditional automotive field. But in the field of pure electric vehicles, this has become a reality. The most taboo on this may be a vehicle manufacturer. Due to the sudden, high energy, and short time of this wave of electrified transformation, the traditional auto companies that are improving the energy efficiency of the fuel and reducing the weight and wind resistance of the car have made this wave unprepared. Automakers that once were able to control vehicle costs and profits almost lost the right to speak in the battery field. At the same time, as the new energy vehicle catalog specifies battery manufacturers, it includes the new energy sector of China's major automobile manufacturers, including SAIC, BAIC, JAC, and Geely Automobile. It seems that they are doing one thing - giving The battery company represented by the Ningde era “workedâ€. This has become one of the important reasons why auto companies are unwilling to promote pure electric vehicles, because they may have to distribute about 50% of a car's income to battery companies. However, under the increasingly stringent emission standards and the upcoming "double-integration policy", auto companies have to devote themselves to the field of new energy vehicles. But can they also reduce the cost of batteries and grasp the initiative of new energy vehicles? Car company "controlled" battery supplier In a few years, China has become the world's largest new energy vehicle market. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, sales of new energy vehicles in the first half of this year were 195,000, an increase of 14.4% year-on-year. However, it is ironic that in the top ten new energy car companies with sales rankings, except that BYD can be “self-sufficientâ€, other companies, without exception, must purchase batteries or batteries from third-party battery manufacturers. Although many companies claim to have the core technology of “three powers†​​(batteries, motors, and electronic control), even if they can assemble battery packs, the most important ones still rely on external procurement. It is interesting to note that after foreign battery suppliers such as LG were excluded from the battery catalog last year, auto companies such as BAIC, SAIC, and JAC were caught in an embarrassing situation in which no cars could be sold, and they switched to buying battery catalogs. Business. At present, the rankings of new energy vehicle sales such as BAIC New Energy, SAIC Passenger Vehicles, Zhongtai Automobile, Jianghuai Automobile, Geely Automobile, and other Chinese auto companies, and even the car companies with foreign backgrounds such as BMW Brilliance, have a similar shadow. - Ningde times. As the largest battery supplier in China, the Ningde era, which was established only for 6 years, rapidly expanded under the background of the explosive development of the domestic new energy market. In 2016, its output reached 6.8GWh, ranking second in the country and third in the world. In the first half of this year, its domestic power battery market share reached 20.98%, surpassing BYD to become the first. At present, the cost of batteries is mainly composed of batteries, modules, and manufacturing. The batteries account for the largest proportion of the total cost. Some media have disclosed the report of the Volkswagen Group's MEB project. In the 2016 Volkswagen MEB project, the core cost accounted for 50%, the module cost accounted for 13.3%, and the manufacturing cost accounted for 36.7%. This means that even if auto companies do their best, they can do their own modules and manufacturing processes, but they still have to pay high costs for batteries. From this perspective, it is not a joke to say that the auto companies that once had absolute control over the supply chain were working for battery suppliers such as the Ningde era. However, these battery suppliers may only be working for other companies. The cost of the cell consists of the cost of the cell's raw materials and the cost of the assembly. In the current battery of a pure electric passenger car, a mainstream battery model of 18650 is taken as an example. The raw material cost of the battery core accounts for nearly 80% of the total cost, while the assembly cost only accounts for 20%. Taking cobalt as an example, cobalt is a key raw material for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. Such batteries already account for 42% of the total cobalt metal consumption. As the world shifts from petrol and diesel engine vehicles to electric vehicles, demand will increase dramatically. Analysts expect that demand for cobalt will increase 30-fold by 2030, but cobalt prices have doubled in the past year alone. Car prices "forced" battery suppliers to reduce costs From this point of view, in the field of pure electric vehicles, car prices are almost covered by upstream suppliers such as batteries and battery raw materials. With regard to the stakes, auto companies are naturally very clear. After determining that the trend of electrification is irreversible, some companies have started to unite other companies in the industry chain, increasing research and development efforts, and reducing battery costs. This point, the battery supplier feels the deepest. Whoever can produce higher quality, lower price batteries will be able to dominate the market. Although more powerful foreign battery makers were excluded, Ningde Times once stated that its annual R&D investment is 5% to 6% of sales, and that by 2020, more than 30 billion yuan will be invested in R&D and upgrading of production capacity. The Ningde Times hopes to control costs through three ways: scale expansion, technology R&D, and industrial upstream and downstream cooperation. According to statistics from Bloomberg, the cost of batteries has dropped by 65% ​​from 2010 to 2016. In the future, the cost of the battery may continue to decrease. It is predicted that the commercialization of pure electric vehicles will be achieved between 2020 and 2030. Prior to this, in addition to driving battery manufacturers to control costs, car companies also used a variety of ways to bundle battery suppliers and reduce costs. BYD’s self-produced and self-selling products are not to say that Beiqi and SAIC Motor’s choice to establish a joint venture company with Ningde is also an important way; Geely’s cooperation with Keliyuan is also a way to reduce the cost of new energy vehicles and reduce the risk of multi-paths. one. Through various cooperation, car companies can form closer bonds with battery suppliers and power battery system control suppliers, thereby reducing vehicle costs and operating risks, and maximizing profits. The battery suppliers can also quickly grow in size and occupy the market. However, the arrival of the era of new energy vehicles once again proved one thing: If a company does not have the core technology, and does not do forward-looking layout, it can only be reduced to the "work" situation.
