Market trends of lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries for two wheeled electric vehicles

At present, the sales of electric scooters in China are steadily increasing. However, the penetration rate of intelligent electric two wheelers is relatively low. However, with the support of “dual carbon” and new national standard policies, coupled with the increasing acceptance of consumer intelligence, the industry’s level of intelligence is expected to gradually improve, and the trend of lithiation is accelerating. At the same time, many electric bicycle companies are also crossing boundaries into the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing, seeking a second growth curve.https://www.qianxinmotor.com/manufacturer-customized-disc-brake-scooter-electric-motorcycle-for-adult-product/

The industrialization process of lead-acid batteries is relatively long. Since the invention of lead-acid batteries by French inventor Prandtl in 1859, it has a history of 160 years. lead-acid batteries have a high degree of maturity in theoretical research, technological development, product types, product electrical performance, and other aspects, and their prices are low. Therefore, in the domestic electric light vehicle market, lead-acid batteries have long occupied the main market share.

The industrialization time of lithium batteries is relatively short, and they have developed rapidly since their birth in 1990. Due to their advantages of high energy, long lifespan, low consumption, pollution-free, no memory effect, small self discharge, and low internal resistance, lithium batteries have shown advantages in practical applications and are widely recognized as one of the most promising secondary batteries for future development.

The trend of lithium-ion electrification and intelligence is accelerating:

According to the White Paper on the Intelligence of Electric Two wheeled Vehicles, electric vehicle users are gradually becoming younger, with over 70% of users under the age of 35 showing a strong interest in the Internet of Things such as smart speakers and smart door locks. The demand for electric vehicle intelligence has increased, and these users have strong economic strength and are willing to accept the price of electric two wheeled vehicles, providing a sufficient consumer foundation for the intelligent development of the industry.

The intelligentization of electric two wheeled vehicles involves multiple technologies, which can comprehensively improve performance. Xinda Securities believes that with the further maturity of Internet of Things technology, the intelligence of electric two wheeled vehicles will improve their performance from various technical perspectives, including vehicle positioning, near-field communication, mobile phone interconnection, cloud platforms, artificial intelligence, etc. The intelligence of electric two wheeled vehicles is based on the Internet of Things, and comprehensive positioning, artificial intelligence, big data and other technological means have increased the overall technical level, providing a more efficient and safe travel experience. The intelligentization of electric two wheeled vehicles provides more functions, which can further optimize the user experience. Intelligence is the future development direction of electric two wheeled vehicles.

At the same time, since the official implementation of the new national standard for electric bicycles in April 2019, lithium-ion electrification has become the main theme of the development of electric two wheeled vehicles. According to the requirements of the new national standard, the weight of the entire vehicle is required to not exceed 55kg. Traditional lead-acid batteries, due to their low energy density and large mass, are expected to significantly increase the proportion of lithium-ion electric bicycles after the implementation of the new national standard.

Lithium batteries have three major advantages:

One is lightweight. With the introduction of the new national standard for electric bicycles, various regions will impose mandatory weight restrictions on non motorized vehicle bodies on the road;
The second is environmental protection. In contrast, the production process of lithium-ion batteries is more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient than lead-acid batteries, and is more supported by policies;
The third is the service life. Currently, the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries is generally two to three times that of lead-acid batteries. Although the initial cost is higher, it is more economical in the long run. Internationally, lithium-ion battery electric bicycles have become popular in developed countries such as Japan, Europe and America.
