Battery lease” to promote the pace of development of new energy vehicles

Filed under: Battery News — admin @ 5:13 am

Already, the company proposed a “laptop battery -lease” as a new business model. And there are bus companies in Hefei, Dalian and Shanghai, the implementation of the retirement pay to buy “a pure electric car “Rental battery of the model. At a price of 2 million yuan pure electric car, for example, remove the battery after the price is 120 million, net of state financial support to 50 million users than the shoulder 70 million, which was the price of conventional diesel cars is almost the same. We know that diesel 6 yuan / liter in terms of price and energy consumption During conversion, a pure electric bus can save 180 thousand yuan each year on operating costs. Therefore, the use of “battery rental” cost is 200,000 yuan per year.

“Increasing support for renting the farm business”

Recently, in Shanghai electrification - the engine of the future ‘forum, we also understand: the country has been increased efforts to support new energy vehicles, energy conservation has 10 City 1000 model for the promotion of new energy vehicles in the 20 pilot cities to a 25. Meanwhile, a new energy to the high cost of car batteries, car prices are much higher than conventional cars problem. The experts also said China encourages the development of large-scale “, the battery-leasing” business.

Shanghai, support for new energy vehicles, lying on the new energy vehicle “Battery leasing” business support. Related to the acquisition of corporate finance of the battery of new energy vehicles occurred loan interest, will be a maximum of three years of interest rate subsidies.

It is understood that “the lease of the battery” can reduce the threshold for the use of new energy vehicles, vehicle prices will fall significantly. At the same time, consumers can avoid the battery life Short and problems of the post-maintenance.

The extent of pollution damage the battery?

Filed under: Battery News — admin @ 5:16 am

According to experts, test, a button dell Latitude E4300 battery can contaminate 600,000 liters of water; a rot in the ground at the battery, make use of one square meter of land lost value. Experts pointed out that the used batteries, if mixed with solid waste handling, the battery died and decayed, mercury, cadmium, lead, nickel and other heavy metal leaching will pollute water and soil, and through the food chain and ultimately endanger human health. People if mercury poisoning may cause central nervous system disease, the mortality rate 40%; cadmium level was set at IA carcinogen.

The greatest threat to the natural environment of the five substances in battery contains three types: mercury, lead, cadmium.

Mercury: what we called “mercury”, a carcinogen. Mercury and mercury compounds are toxic, the scientists found that mercury has a significant neurological toxicity, in addition to the endocrine system, immune system, also have adverse effects on children more vulnerable.

Cadmium: in the human body can easily cause chronic poisoning, is a highly toxic heavy metal, the main disease is emphysema, osteomalacia, anemia, is likely to paralyze the body. The excretion of lead into the human body the most difficult, it interferes with renal function, reproductive function. Japan shocked the world, “cries the pain” is due to cadmium 而致. Cadmium contaminated mine water and river water the soil, grain, grass, slowly enter the body through the food chain and accumulate in the kidneys and bones. To replace calcium in bone, so that severe bone softening, bone Cunduan; cadmium can cause stomach dysfunction, disturbance of human and bio-enzyme system in vivo zinc, cadmium to zinc ratio decreased, which led to hypertension increased. Cadmium toxicity is the potential. Even if the concentration of cadmium in drinking water as low as 0.1 mg / l, but also in humans (especially women) tissue accumulation, the incubation period of up to 10-3 years, and early imperceptible. Data indicate that the biological half-life of cadmium in the human body is 20 ~ 40 years. Human tissues and organs of cadmium poisoning is multifaceted, and treatment extremely difficult. Therefore, the countries of industrial emissions, “three wastes” in the cadmium have been very stringent requirements. Japan also provides rice cadmium more than 1 mg / kg is “cadmium rice”, not to eat. Because different levels of cadmium toxicity compounds, by any means, in addition to cadmium from waste water, only there is no way to change its inter separated from waste water, only to change their way of existence and the location of the transfer of its existence, does not eliminate its toxicity. Therefore, cadmium wastewater treatment should be combined with recycling.

Nickel: a carcinogen on the significant harm aquatic organisms, nickel salts can cause allergic dermatitis;

Lead: lead to anemia, neurological disorders, kidney damage, harm more children.

New energy battery tripod “iron battery” come from behind

Filed under: Battery News — admin @ 5:04 am

Grants for new energy vehicles promulgation of the method, with a lithium-ion laptop battery , nickel hydrogen and fuel cell and battery of three sources of new energy booming.

However, BYD independently developed iron battery “is the technology behind. The low carbon version developed by F3DM E6 electric vehicles and vehicles are equipped with iron battery”, is to become the F3DM first recommendation of the Ministry of Industry and Energy a new car, enjoy the plug-in hybrid grants for a maximum of 5 million policy.

BYD to “iron battery” has been classified as fuel cells, under national and international discussion of iron battery has a cell of iron and two lithium-iron. F3DM used iron battery “of battery lithium iron batteries is lithium iron phosphate.

The lithium phosphate is known is that by using iron phosphate lithium iron as cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. Ordinary batteries lead acid and nickel-hydrogen batteries as iron and lithium power cycle the battery life of their phosphate 4 times, up to 2000 times. The useful life of the lead-acid battery is “new for half a year for six months, six months, maintain and protect the most” will be 1 to 1.5 years in the same conditions, iron phosphate and lithium up to 7-8 years.

Safety in use, iron phosphate and lithium because of its high temperature properties (lithium iron phosphate peak temperature of 350 ℃ ℃ -500), even in the worst traffic accident would not explode, to ensure consumer safety.

Of course, iron phosphate and lithium is the most competitive of its ecological character. Since contains no heavy metals and rare metals, iron phosphate and lithium is therefore whether the production or in use, are non-toxic pollution.

Thus, as early as May this year, Daimler AG signed a formal joint venture agreement with BYD, a new joint venture Daimler Shenzhen BYD Co., Ltd., plans to launch a new electric vehicle in 2013. The model of joint venture with the BYD E6 battery will be used as the battery of iron. “

Lithium to be a breakthrough core technology enterprises

Filed under: Battery News — admin @ 5:45 am

With energy conservation and new energy development plan for vehicles and related support policies in place, Shenzhen has triggered a wave of new wave of new energy vehicles, and promote the interests of related industries. The lithium-ion battery car of the future the main direction of development, its promising market. However, recently, “FAW-Ray days to confirm the battery to give up” event Querang lithium market in a puzzle, Shenzhen Shenzhen lithium companies are facing growing pains.

Currently, all manufacturers in Shenzhen a “plug-in electric cars, a phenomenon difficult to get there, the battery size between small and large manufacturers, are not the same interface to load, and so on , limit the rapid development of Shenzhen enterprises lithium.

It is understood that, as Guo Jia lack of standards, companies in Shenzhen lithium battery on the use of the vehicle, the concept of product development process, technological design Naizhi cost method are in the car Buyi Zhi or even distant.

Thunder Sky Energy Group, Shenzhen is the world’s first successfully developed using water-based adhesives instead of PVDF binder manufacturing of high power, a high-capacity lithium-ion rechargeable battery manufacturing high-tech . Previously, Shenzhen days Lei repeatedly told the media that invest heavily mine today cooperation with the filing of the Mainland, build electric vehicles, even said with the first automobile company (hereinafter referred to as FAW) has signed a cooperation agreement, the investment in more than one hundred million Tangshan built a production base. However, recently there is news that the FAW had days of thunder in the battery of tests, the quality is unstable, then abandoned.

According to the National Program 863 of the main tests of battery electric vehicles, the director of special winter introduced Prince Lei Tiansheng production center battery of tests, because a failure, it can be sold at the warehouse. However, they respond to each other: “According to Chinese laws and regulations, there are no products for battery electric vehicles to comply with national or Renhe necessary tests before they can be domestic sales mandatory rules “.

In response to this argument, the prince said in winter, since 2006 China has established national standards for electric vehicle batteries, “This country is named QCT743-2006 standard is compulsory execution, all batteries China electric vehicles are sold by this standard. ”

Since most companies lithium are small and medium enterprises in Shenzhen and private companies more or less in financial difficulties.

Shenzhen is the first chain of wood from the lithium iron phosphate to achieve the industry. The company started in 2006, lithium iron phosphate battery research and development, and mass success in 2007. 2009, the company’s sales exceeded 100 million yuan mark, two years turned more than 5 times. In 2009, he was named national “high-tech companies, but the financial pressure has been” shadowing “. It is understood that the production of the battery and the sales cycle is typically 3 to 4 months, during which require large amounts of cash, as technology advanced, rapidly expanding market, the factory expansion of staff quarters are also necessary, lithium iron phosphate battery technology with a high threshold performance data obtained are based primarily on manufacturing facilities and laboratories also need to test electric cars, but more daring head for business is difficult to implement the test site.
With BYD, BAK and a number of place of business of the Cross-Battery, Shenzhen has formed a relatively complete industrial chain of secondary batteries. Although the number of lithium batteries in Shenzhen project is fast Tuijin Dan Shi, local authorities Gongsidaduo Zhu Yu, “no family” - the automotive industry support Jing Yan Ji Mei You, You and Zhu Liu Zhi Zao Shang Guanxi car without capital, Qi Jin Bu faces overcapacity and pressure lithium faced soldiers arrived foreign giant.

It is understood that to develop an environment suitable vehicle, the vehicle battery great, you need to have both cars from the battery and both technical expertise. Currently engaged in research of the vehicle battery and the development of businesses that have no experience in the production of automotive parts. Shenzhen lithium battery of their own way home, leading to fragmentation of the industry, everybody all dry, technical standards, the capacity of R & D vary considerably.

In addition, the development of electric cars depends on the market on breakthroughs in core technologies. Due to the high technical threshold, the reporter learned that the current domestic production of lithium battery technology has its own property and realize the industrialization of enterprises are still very small. Shenzhen enterprises and technology capacity, currently at the forefront in the country. However, the development of new energy vehicles in Shenzhen, but there is also worried, all companies have been conducting technical studies, but the actual skill level is not clear, repeat the formulation of a problem very serious.

According to industry analysis, develop lithium battery car, a car manufacturer, a member of relying on only one or two companies, one or two of technical support for industrial development is not sufficient companies must rely on the spirit of open and common industry technology and to finish. The lack of lithium Shenzhen enterprise-wide, the lack of basic technology, industrial technology urgent need to form alliances to develop long-term
