It is worth mentioning that just the day before the release of the financial report, Li Xiang, the CEO of Ideal Automobile, talked about the standards for measuring the quality of a company: firstly, strategy must focus on direction, continuously creating value for target users as the core, and high growth is the best way to measure it; The second is organization, which must be rational in the long run. The end-to-end value process is the foundation of the profession, and efficiency is the best way to measure it; The third aspect is talent. Adults focus on growth and provide feedback on their professional performance through practical experience, with high returns being the best measure.
Li Xiang stated that the strategy is to focus on+value+high growth; Organizations are rational, professional, and efficient; Talents are growth, professionalism, and high returns, and what can be achieved is a good enterprise. He said, "Good companies are good at discovering, exposing, and solving problems, while poor companies are good at hiding problems. The most powerful companies in the world are those that solve industry problems that other companies cannot solve, not without problems."
"5C charging stations will become extremely profitable investment projects," Li Xiang said. Charging 500 kilometers in less than 12 minutes, with a massive number of 5C supercharging stations, is equivalent to buying a new generation of electric vehicles with confidence. Don't worry about the number of 5C charging stations. With such high charging efficiency, the charging capacity and turnover rate (similar to the turnover rate in restaurants) of each charging space will increase by more than three times.
According to data, as of February 25, 2024, 344 Ideal Supercharging Stations have been put into use nationwide, with a layout of 114 cities. "In 2024, we will continue to accelerate the construction speed, comprehensively promote the layout of 5C supercharging piles and charging networks, and provide higher quality charging services for new energy vehicles nationwide," said Ideal Automobile.
