骐骥换电加速海南重卡换电网络规模化布局 当天，宁德时代代表在主论坛上表示，换电模式在效率革命、绿色转型与模式创新三个维度与海南 自贸港战略高度契合，是提升交通效率、实现"双碳"目标的重要路径，将助力海南打造全球新能源汽车 与智慧能源融合发展的新高地。 计划3年落地40座重卡换电站 海南日报海口9月29日讯(海南日报全媒体记者 邵长春)9月29日，在2025世界新能源汽车大会"海南 自由贸易港与全球汽车产业发展机遇"主论坛上，澄迈县政府与宁德时代旗下时代骐骥新能源科技(澄 迈)有限公司签署战略合作协议，时代骐骥海南省级公司将落户海南老城科技新城。此举标志着该公司 在海南的重卡换电网络建设进入规模化推进新阶段。 根据规划，时代骐骥将于今年年底前在海南建成投运8座重卡换电站，实现全岛基础补能网络覆 盖。未来3年内，全省换电站规模将扩大至40座，推广电动重卡超4000台，重点服务港口、高速干线和 物流枢纽等场景，构建"港口—高速—枢纽"的立体化绿色运力服务体系。 本次合作将率先在马村港等重点区域落地示范项目，海南老城科技新城将为时代骐骥提供政策对 接、资源协调等全方位产业配套服务，助力换电网络建设。 ...

谁也没想到，今年新能源增速最快的细分市场，是重卡。 公开数据现实，2025年1-8月，我国新能源重卡累计销售11.36万辆，同比大增191%，就连渗透率也在快速攀升到了2025年6月的26.07%，距离30%的临界 点也仅剩一步之遥。 曾经，因为载重低，续航短，价格高，重卡被认为是最不可能电动化的领域。 随着技术的不断进步，新能源重卡的成熟度已然相对较高，自身已经够"硬"。 政策的强力驱动（国家补贴+地方补贴+部分地方推出强制使用政策），也为新能源重卡的火爆加了一把火。 更重要的是，新能源重卡的经济效益开始愈加显现： 以49吨电动重卡为例，百公里电耗150度、商用电价1.2 元/度，能耗成本仅180 元，比同吨位的柴油重卡加油便宜37%。 2023年下半年以来，随着动力电池成本下降，新能源重卡售价从早期的70万-80万元/台也一路骤降至40万元/台左右，与同级别燃油重卡（约35万-45万元/ 台）基本持平。 车电分离等金融玩法的革新，也让新能源重卡的进场门槛得以快速降低。 但这块蛋糕要怎么分，却被分成了两大阵营： 以宁德时代、启源芯动力、协鑫能科等在内的换电阵营； 以华为、欣旺达等在内的快充阵营。 全球首个百 ...
