"Then the issue of charging times and battery life..."

"This problem is better solved. Since the mileage of different batteries cannot be synchronized, we should not charge according to the number of times the battery is replaced. We can just sell the mileage!" Boss Jia said quickly and confidently, "Customers directly purchase mileage in our battery swap station."

"Our mileage is sold at a minimum of 100 kilometers. Within the mileage purchased, customers can replace the battery unlimitedly until their car runs the corresponding mileage position!"

"Of course, we can also set a minimum mileage replacement limit. If the minimum mileage of our battery is 30 kilometers, then we will limit it to 10 kilometers. Each time we replace the battery, we must be at least ten kilometers apart, so as to avoid some people who have not traveled far away and have to come over to change the battery once, wasting our time."

"But I also believe that apart from some SBs, no one will go to the battery replacement station every day to change the battery. After all, it also takes mileage to go to a special battery replacement station, right?"

"At the same time, we have to be stricter on the capacity limits of the battery used in battery swap stations. Once the battery capacity that the battery can accommodate falls below the 50% limit, it will be directly retired, return to the factory to recycle the raw materials, and return to the furnace to rebuilt."

"yes!"

"Chairman, if these two problems are solved, then there are only the last two problems left. As long as the last two problems are solved, then our electric vehicle business will never have any obstacles!" Wang Chuanfu said with his expression here with both expectation and hesitation.

"You talk about two problems, namely the battery model and the construction cost of the battery swap station!" Boss Jia said directly.

"Yes, the chairman has already considered it clearly!" Wang Chuanfu sighed. "I have calculated it. I calculated it for one night last night. Without considering the land, the basic cost of building a battery swap station is about 200,000 yuan. But if we add the fully automatic battery swap, charging vacuum box and other equipment we just discussed, the construction cost of that battery swap station may reach about 500,000 yuan!"

"If you include the necessary battery reserves for a battery swap station, the actual opening cost will be around 700,000 yuan!"

"There are now a total of 68,000 gas stations nationwide, so our battery swap stations must reach the same scale at least. If we consider that the current battery life is about 300 kilometers, then the number of battery swap stations is more, and it may take 100,000 to complete the basic national coverage."

"In this case, it would be a huge investment of 70 billion yuan!"

"This is not the cost of land, but also the operating costs of personnel and gas stations. If all of these are included, we, BYD, will definitely not be able to bear it. We can only help us with the head office."

"And this is just the cost of domestic investment. Our cars will inevitably move to the whole world in the future. Then the whole world needs to build our gas stations, and the funds needed here may be even greater, with a huge amount of hundreds of billions of dollars."

"I originally thought about introducing a franchise system, introducing local capital, and allowing them to build our standard battery swap stations so that we don't need to invest too much money."

"This idea is feasible in the future, but it is not possible now. Unless half of the roads are electric vehicles, there is no capital that will be willing to join the market. In the early stage of this battery swap station, it is absolutely a loss-making product, and it can only be supported by our own funds!"

"But once our career fails and the sales of electric vehicles are not satisfactory, all the funds invested will be wasted!" Wang Chuanfu said while peeping at Boss Jia's expression.

As a result, I found that even when I said that the total construction cost was 70 billion yuan, Boss Jia's face didn't beat. This made Wang Chuanfu sigh that the chairman was the chairman, and this attitude of being calm in the face of change was something he had to learn for the rest of his life.

But Wang Chuanfu didn't know that when Boss Jia heard the 70 billion yuan figure, he was very surprised in his heart.

"What! Only 70 billion yuan, and together, less than 10 billion US dollars, can the battery swap station cover the entire China. This is really cheap!" This is what Boss Jia thought deep in his heart when he heard the number 70 billion.

"Chairman, what do you think?" Wang Chuanfu asked in a low voice after he finished speaking.

"There is nothing good to look at!" Boss Jia waved his hand. "We don't need to invest such huge funds in advance. I think we should use Xijiang Province as the test base first. After the first batch of electric vehicles is manufactured, they will only be sold in Xijiang Province, and will only be built in Xijiang Province's expressways and major cities in Xijiang Province."

"In this case, about 4,000 battery swap stations are enough. Let's conduct experiments in Xijiang Province now to see if electric vehicles really meet the needs of the people of Xijiang Province. If the grades are good, it will not be too late to promote the whole country!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "Borrowing a famous saying from a great man, we can first build a test field and cross the river by feeling the stones!"

"Chairman, what you are saying!" Wang Chuanfu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But Chairman, what should I do if there are many batteries in the future and the battery swap station cannot be replaced uniformly?"

"This is also simple, as long as we are fast enough!"

“Fast enough?”

"Yes, after the successful experiment in Xijiang Province, we cannot hesitate at all. We will start the construction of battery swap stations in China and even major countries around the world as soon as possible."

"At most, within three years, major countries and cities around the world must build a large number of battery swap stations to allow battery swap stations to be everywhere in an instant!"

"It's so exaggerated, how much does it cost!" Wang Chuanfu was shocked. How many zero dollars does it cost to build a battery swap station in the world at the same time!

"Because only in this way can the previous problem be solved, that is, the problem that various models of batteries around the world are messy and cannot be used uniformly!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "Once our electric vehicles are successful, other car companies around the world will definitely understand that electric vehicles are the future, and they will also build their own electric vehicles."

"In a maximum of two or three years, mainstream car companies around the world will launch their own electric cars. At that time, we must make our battery standard the world's standard. All mainstream car companies must use our standard car batteries!"

"If you want to achieve this goal, you must take the lead and build a battery swap station around the world. Then, the battery swap station can only replace our only standard battery."

"Once this goal is achieved, even if the car companies around the world are reluctant, they can only make rechargeable batteries according to our standards."

"What if they refuse?" Wang Chuanfu asked foolishly.

"Simple, then don't go into our battery swap station to replace the battery. They will build their own battery swap station!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "We have to be the standard, which is the world's standard. Whoever does not abide by our standards will not even have the qualification to enter the market!"

"This is like the USB port of a computer. If anyone has no USB excuses, no one will buy his computer!"
