It is understood that EV 3.5 policy is the second phase of EV incentives launched by the Thai government after EV 3.0 policy, which is valid from 2024 to 2027, a total of four years. The policy aims to ensure continued sales of EVs in Thailand by providing cash subsidies for new vehicles and reducing import tariffs and excise taxes.

President of ASEAN Region Cheng Jinqui said that both models of ORA 07 are participating in the EV 3.5 policy and there will not be any retail price adjustment.

In addition, Changan Automobile is developing prototype cell designs for new batteries such as lithium-sulfur batteries and metal batteries. It is expected that the energy density will exceed 1300-1500Wh/kg, and it strives to achieve on-board applications in 2035.

 On the technical roadmap, Changan Automobile focuses on breakthroughs in battery cell technology. Carry out technical research around liquid battery material modification and system optimization to continuously improve battery energy density. The charging rate can reach 3C for application, 5C for popularization, and 7C for pre-research. The fastest charging time is 7 minutes and a range of 400 kilometers.

 Deeply engaged in the development of new electrolyte materials and key processes for semi-solid and solid-state batteries. Based on the needs of complete vehicles, we are developing leading solid-state batteries and will gradually start mass production and application in 2025. The weight energy density will reach 350-500Wh/kg and the volume energy will reach 350-500Wh/kg. Density 750-1000Wh/L, fully popularized in 2030.

 In terms of new batteries, prototype cell designs for new batteries such as lithium-sulfur batteries and metal batteries are being carried out. It is expected that the energy density will exceed 1300-1500Wh/kg, and we strive to achieve on-board applications in 2035.

 In addition to structural innovation and material system innovation, the company will also carry out system integration innovation. Focusing on solving problems such as energy replenishment efficiency, intrinsic safety, full-temperature and full-scenario applications, artificial intelligence and large model applications, we continue to bring leading technical solutions.

 In terms of product layout, in terms of battery cells, it plans to launch 8 self-developed battery cells including liquid, semi-solid, and solid by 2030, forming a battery production capacity of 50-80GWh.

 In terms of battery pack integration, the first CTV technology will begin mass production in 2024, achieving a pack efficiency of ≥86%.

 In terms of battery energy systems, through the expansion of technology, products, and business models, we will create a complete renewable energy ecosystem with "energy" as the main line, form an industrial closed loop of energy production, storage, and utilization, and maximize the value of the entire industry chain.

 In terms of system capabilities, Changan Automobile has established an Advanced Battery Research Institute with more than 1,200 battery R&D personnel, including 125 senior experts and top academic talents. In the future, another 10 billion RMB will be invested, and the battery team will reach 3,000 people by 2024.

 Changan Automobile has established a mature and complete R&D management, production capacity management, supply and marketing management system, continues to tackle core technologies, and will focus on achieving new breakthroughs in material innovation, system integration innovation and other aspects.

 At the Guangzhou Auto Show, Changan Automobile released its self-developed battery brand and named it Changan "Golden Bell". As the brand name implies, Changan Automobile's battery system will comprehensively solve users' concerns in terms of energy density, charge and discharge efficiency, cycle life, low-temperature performance, etc. Giving users a new experience of "long life", "true safety", "super efficient" and "fast energy replenishment".

It was previously reported that the first standard battery cells of Times Changan Power Battery Co., Ltd., a battery company jointly invested and founded by Changan Automobile, Deep Blue Automobile and CATL, were officially offline on November 24.

According to reports, its first standard battery cell uses advanced “fast ion ring graphite” and “ultra-high conductive electrolyte” material technology, with more than 6,800 quality control points embedded throughout the life cycle, and more than 10,000 items of data traceable, ensuring quality and reliability. It reaches the DPPB (single defect rate of one part per billion) level and will be integrated with 4C fast charging, which can go from 20% to 80% in just 10 minutes.

The automation rate of Times Changan’s factory has reached over 95%, and one battery cell can be produced in 1 second during the entire cycle from material input to finished product output. Changan Automobile previously stated on the interactive platform that Times Changan is mainly engaged in the production and manufacturing of power cells, with an annual production capacity of 25 Gwh and can be put into production within the year.

According to China Business News, the latest response from the head of Changan Automobile’s strategic planning department stated that Changan Automobile and Huawei have established strategic cooperation, and both parties have in-depth cooperation on Avita and Deep Blue Automobile. However, the information circulated on the Internet is inconsistent with the facts.

Note: “Huawei Smart Car Solution BU” is referred to as “Car BU”, where BU is the abbreviation of “Business Unit”.

It is worth mentioning that the automotive media “HiEV Garlic Grain Automotive Research Institute” reported in August this year that multiple information sources close to Huawei stated that Huawei intends to promote the independent operation of the vehicle BU and is currently in close contact with the Chongqing State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission on cooperation matters. .

According to its statement, the independent BU will likely become a new Tier 1 (first-tier supplier) giant. At the same time, Huawei will also recover its many years of R&D and investment in automotive BU. As the core supply chain of phones gradually recovers, the consumer business BG will put more effort into the main channel (consumer products such as phones). As a new Tier 1 company, Che BU will have the following characteristics after independence:

 It can still provide parts and components to Huawei Smart Car as a core supplier;

 And it can take advantage of Chongqing’s geographical advantages to deepen cooperation with car companies such as Changan and Thalys;

 The new entity also means that Auto BU is expected to lift the blockade of some supply chains and obtain some important chip resources to provide more competitive products.

Many people said that Huawei’s intention to promote the independent operation of the car BU at that time was “formally similar to Honor’s solo flight.” However, according to the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, Huawei responded to this rumor by saying that “online rumors are inconsistent with the facts. Huawei has not negotiated car BU-related matters with the Chongqing State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.”

According to reports, the Changan Qiyuan brand will launch 10 new digitally evolved new car products globally by 2025, and will achieve a sales target of more than 1.5 million vehicles in 2030. Among them, three new products equipped with the latest SDA central ring network architecture will be launched in 2024-2025.

When talking about the technical advantages and mass production implementation of the SDA architecture, Changan Automobile responded that the SDA architecture allows cars to be upgraded from mobile machines to smart car robots, allowing the concept of “software-defined cars” to be implemented. The first product of the E0 series, CD701, is expected to be officially mass-produced and launched next year.

It was previously reported that during the “Technology Ecological Conference” held by Changan Automobile early last month, the CD701, known as “the first mass-produced deformable car”, made its debut. The car has a pickup truck body posture and is equipped with a closed roof and a 5-seat layout inside the car.

The car is under the Changan Qiyuan brand and will be put into production and launched at the new plant in Yubei, Chongqing. When the car is in SUV form, the cockpit and trunk are independent spaces, and when the rear dome of the car slides open, it can transform into an electric pickup truck.

In addition, the car has more than 10 expansion interfaces, which can be connected to other external hardware, and supports low-orbit satellite communications. It is claimed to be able to achieve global coverage, be connected to the Internet at any time, and never lose contact.
