撰 文 / 刘宝华 设 计 / 琚 佳 世事无常。 上周最大的行业新闻应该是奥迪全球CEO高德诺公开宣布奥迪撤回原定于2033年停止研发和销售内 燃机汽车的计划,不再设定明确终止时间表。 奥迪之前,奔驰、宝马、沃尔沃、福特已经先后调整了全面电动化计划,改为燃油车与电动化双线 并行。 对电动化最保守的丰田成了最大赢家。丰田截至2025年3月31日的2025财年净利润合人民币2364亿 元,相当于比亚迪、上汽集团、长安汽车、广汽集团、吉利汽车、长城汽车、北京汽车7大上市车 企利润总和的3倍。 搞电动车的越搞越穷,不搞电动车的富得流油。 最能赚钱的车企也开始摇摆。也是上周的消息,法拉利原计划2026年推出的第二款纯电动车型被推 迟到最早2028年推出。这已经是这款车第二次推迟时间表。接近法拉利的消息源称"目前高性能电 动车的需求为0"。 这句话有些残酷,但或许揭示了电动车的市场规律——从品牌、车型、价格、性能各个维度,电动 车都在中低端更容易成功,越高端对电动车来说越困难。 以特斯拉为例,中低端车型 Model Y、 Model 3占总销量超过95%,中高端车型 Model X、 Model S 占比不足5%, 当 ...
