During the Beijing Winter Olympics, more than 1000 hydrogen vehicles will be demonstrated and operated, equipped with more than 30 hydrogen refueling stations. The models of this Winter Olympics include hydrogen fuel cell buses, hydrogen fuel cell cars and hydrogen fuel cell special vehicles.
Among the bus models, Foton Motor provided 565,438+05 hydrogen-fueled buses, Geely StarCraft provided 80 city buses and Toyota provided 65,438+007 minibuses. In terms of models, Toyota provides 140 second-generation MIRAI.
Advantages of hydrogen-powered vehicles:
First, it is convenient to replenish energy. The principle of hydrogen energy vehicle is similar to that of fuel vehicle. When the energy is insufficient, it is enough to go to a hydrogenation station for hydrogenation. It only takes 3 minutes to replenish energy, which is as convenient as refueling the fuel truck today.
On the other hand, even with the blessing of fast charging technology, it takes 40 minutes to restore 80% of the power. And it takes hours to charge slowly. Compared with the two, it is naturally more convenient and faster for hydrogen energy vehicles to replenish energy.
Today, when time is money, quickly replenishing energy is definitely the first choice for most people.
Second, the battery life is longer. Nowadays, "endurance anxiety" has become the primary perplexing factor of electric vehicles. Generally, the actual battery life of electric vehicles on the market is about 400KM, and it takes time to find charging piles when the power is insufficient.
The uneven distribution of charging stations may be just the opposite of the destination, and it takes a lot of time and electricity to replenish energy.
Experiments show that the density of hydrogen battery is about 130 times that of lithium battery. In the state of full hydrogen, the endurance of hydrogen-powered vehicles can theoretically reach 850 kilometers, which has surpassed most electric vehicles.
Third, it is more green and environmentally friendly. Now most of our country still uses thermal power to generate electricity. The way of obtaining electricity by burning coal does not really make electric vehicles a "low-carbon" trip.
Compared with electric vehicles, hydrogen can produce water after combustion, which belongs to a truly green "zero carbon" mode of travel.
Fourth, metal resources are easier to obtain. The main raw material used in hydrogen batteries is platinum, which is widely distributed and has high reserves. Widely distributed in Africa and Russia. Judging from the current situation in China, importing platinum is a very simple matter.
The raw material used in lithium batteries is cobalt, which is very scarce and needs to be imported in large quantities to meet the demand. Once the upstream suppliers raise prices, China battery manufacturers will only be "slaughtered".
