The main factor restricting the wide application of carbon fiber composite materials is that its production and processing technology is not mature enough, the application and research and development costs are high, and the relevant departments lack certain long-term development plans. For example, magnesium alloys in the 1990s were only used as a potential automotive material at the time because of their price and technical bottlenecks. However, when large-scale development and application of magnesium alloys have caused the oversupply of magnesium alloys, China’s automobiles The industry has not developed and applied forward-lookingly, which has lagged far behind the level of foreign automotive materials. The asymmetry of production and application has also restricted the development of the two industries. Carbon fiber composites are now facing the same situation. In this regard, it is necessary to understand the fact that carbon fiber composite materials are now in short supply, and their absolute superiority forces manufacturers to consider them in the long run. To this end, we must accelerate the development of this field, develop corresponding material research and development plans, and start the application development of carbon fiber materials in electric vehicles to promote the marketization of pure electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, are more urgency for lightweighting than conventional internal combustion engines. The weight reduction of the whole vehicle can reduce the weight of the vehicle body as a breakthrough. Studies to date have shown that carbon fiber composites are the most ideal lightweight materials for the body. The use of carbon fiber bodies in pure electric vehicles can offset the problem of insufficient power of current power batteries to some extent. The question now is how to implement this technical solution. We believe that electric vehicle manufacturing enterprises should form a unified product innovation alliance with carbon fiber composite materials manufacturing enterprises, jointly undertake technology research and development costs and market risks, and form a community of interests. We have every reason to believe that as carbon fiber composite processes and applications become more mature, production costs will decrease. By then, the showdown effect of carbon fiber composites will be obvious, and the era of lightweighting of electric vehicles will not be far away.
