摘要 宁德时代、蜂巢能源、固态新势力已经入局。 2025年被不少从业者称为无人小车元年。 2025年我国L4级无人车进入全国300多个城市，年采购量达2.8万台。 把它换算成电池需求，故事立刻从自动驾驶叙事切到锂电叙事。 无人物流车主流电量集中在10–50kWh区间，按这个口径粗算，2.8万台对应约0.28–1.4GWh；若以30kWh做中位数，接近0.84GWh。 对动力电池巨头而言这还不算"大盘"，但它足够"像一门生意"： 订单更贴近现金流、迭代快、可复制，且能把乘用车时代沉淀下来的平台化电芯、Pack与供应链能力，直接搬到一个正在规模化的增量场景里。 更关键的是， 2026年无人小车的产业逻辑进一步生变 ：从路权与试点驱动，转向价格战、服务战与主机厂入场的体系战。 无人物流车裸车价下探到2万元以下已被记录，甚至出现"车价更像获客工具，订阅服务才是利润池"的销售结构；行业里对"过度卷价格、牺牲质 量、抬高全生命周期成本"的担忧，也已被头部企业与第三方反复提示。 在这条线上，电池企业不再只是"提供电芯"，而会被迫参与定义寿命、可靠性、补能效率与TCO（全生命周期成本）—— 在一组更硬核的数字面前，这句话不再 ...
