Power battery: key to electric vehicle commercialization

Cai Qingsong introduced that Lithium Energy (liao yuan) has one semiautomatic production line, the mass production has started from May 1st. The company plans to input RMB560 million yuan to build an automatic production line and a semiautomatic production line, then the company's yearly output is planned to be 0.12 billion AH.

The expansion construction of Lithium Energy (Changchun) is fully underway too, and it is on trial running. Li Zaizhi, Director General Manager of Lithium Energy (Changchun) New Energy Co., Ltd., introduced that the company planned to achieve annual li-battery output of 0.12 billion AH and ferrous phosphate li-battery material output of 3000 tons, the project would be invested around RMB 70 million and would be completed and put into use on June 18th.

In order to improve the quality of battery, assure the consistency and steadiness of battery pack, and realize scale production, no matter Lithium Energy (liao yuan) that has been in production, or Lithium Energy (Changchun) that will be enlarged and put into production, are both introducing advanced technology and equipment and reinforcing management.

For example, laser cutting pole piece technology and equipment for cutting piece burr-free production; ultrasonic welding technology and equipment for guarantying the consistency and reliability of battery internal resistance; lithium-ion battery plastic cover vibration and friction welding technology and equipment for assuring the welding gas tightness of shell and cover; battery capacity grading and grouping simulation testing machine for guarantying the consistency and lifetime of battery group, and so on.

The support of industrial chain is also very important for the commercialization of power battery. Looking at the upstream, Changchun and Liaoyuan are building manufacturing plants of doped lithium iron phosphate, which could provide raw materials for the two battery manufacturers.

Liaoyuan is even intended to become the base of power battery. As Wang zhaohua, Mayor of Liaoyuan city, introduced that except for raw material factory with planned annual doped lithium iron phosphate output of 10,000 tons; another important battery material plant, namely a diaphragm paper plant with RMB220 million investment, is under construction, and the output of the plant is planned to be 40 million square centimeters.

As far as the downstream is concerned, in addition to FAW Bus and Coach, Lithium li-battery project is jointly researching and developing the power system of electric car with FAW Car Co., Ltd. by using the 10 Besturn cars provided by FAW Car; at the same time, Lithium is also co-developing electronic control assembly of electric vehicle with Changchun Qiming In-car Electronics Co., Ltd.

We can describe the most the commercialization of Lithium li-battery as "just at the beginning". But Lithium is grasping the good opportunity of li-battery in the fastest way. At the same time, according to the introduction of Hei Liangqi, President of Beijing Fortune LT Investment Group, except for investing in power battery, the company has also made investment in electric vehicle motor and power assembly.

From key components of electric vehicle to finally producing electric vehicles, Beijing Fortune LT Investment Group is grasping the direction of new energy vehicles and is following up rapidly.
