February 5th, the first day of the Chinese New Year, was a day for families to gather together across the country. However, this day was not a good day for China's new energy vehicles. On this day, Tesla announced that it would acquire Maxwell at a 55% premium of $218 million. Last year, Tesla had confirmed that it would produce Model 3 and Model Y models in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone factory. A series of news like the warm sunshine in winter came, but it made Chinese new energy vehicle brands shudder collectively. Fuse <br /> Let's talk about Tesla's factory construction in China first. As mentioned in previous articles, China's new energy vehicle market will be extremely broad in the future. In 2018, China's new energy vehicle production and sales reached 1.27 million and 1.256 million respectively, up 59.9% and 61.7% year-on-year. Among them, the production and sales of pure electric vehicles reached 986,000 and 984,000 respectively, up 47.9% and 50.8% year-on-year. Tesla's battery selection and technology support <br /> In addition, Tesla has also done the most important thing, which is to integrate the industrial chain on a global scale. Just as almost all major fuel vehicle manufacturers have built their own engine factories, Tesla has also begun to seek its own global position in the field of new energy power. But in the end, Tesla gave up Tianjin Lishen and acquired Maxwell instead. It is reported that Tesla was attracted by Maxwell's process efficiency, which is significantly higher than that of other battery manufacturing processes in the industry. Even compared with the most efficient battery manufacturing process on the market, Maxwell's process can significantly reduce the production cost of electric vehicles. This is consistent with Tesla's concept of reducing battery costs. Tesla is about to be localized, and with its excellent battery technology, it is hard to believe that China's new energy vehicles are not in a tight spot, especially for domestic veterans such as BYD and BAIC New Energy. Once Tesla's brand premium drops to a level acceptable to consumers, coupled with the support of luxury brands, for domestic new energy vehicles with gradually decreasing subsidies, Tesla, which used to watch from the sidelines, has quickly come to the point of close combat. This is, of course, very scary.
