   On October 16, the electric coffee car related person told the reporter of "Daily Economic News" that Zhang Hailiang has become the chairman and CEO of the electric coffee car. In October, he took over the business of electric coffee car, which means that Zhang Hailiang is no longer in charge. LeTV CEO, but still serves as the vice chairman of LeTV.

Electric coffee car was established in June 2015. According to the reporter's understanding, in August of the same year, Faraday (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd. (ie LeTV) entered the electric coffee car and obtained a 35% stake, but by December 31, 2016, LeTV had already held it. The shareholding of electric coffee cars has been reduced to 7.14%, and now LeTV is no longer in the list of shareholders of electric coffee cars.

During the LeTV investment in electric coffee cars, the electric coffee car has reached cooperation with two vehicle companies, and the first model of cooperation with Zotye, Sesame E30, has been launched in 2015. From this point of view, the electric car car is far ahead of its former shareholder LeTV.

LeTV has completely withdrawn

In fact, Zhang Hailiang became attached to the electric coffee car as early as 2016.

Zhang Hailiang served as vice president of SAIC Group (600104, shares), general manager of SAIC Volkswagen, general manager of SAIC Volkswagen Sales Co., Ltd., and joined LeTV in April 2016 as president and COO of LeTV Supercar (China); 2017 On March 20, he was promoted to the global CEO of LeTV Supercar. After joining LeTV in 2016, LeTV had sent Zhang Hailiang as the legal representative of the electric coffee car for some time.

“At the time, LeTV had two “pro-sons”, one was Faraday Future, the other was LeTV, electric coffee and Lucid Motors (formerly Atieva, renamed in October 2016). The company did not get much attention." The above-mentioned electric coffee car related person told the reporter of "Daily Economic News".

However, after Zhang Hailiang officially joined, the situation of electric coffee cars was completely different from before. The reporter checked the industrial and commercial information and found that LeTV was no longer in the list of shareholders of the electric coffee car. At present, the shareholders of the electric coffee car, in addition to Beijing Jiecheng Technology Co., Ltd. and natural person Li Chunlin are the old shareholders, the other Rhein Wish Technology (HK) Limited, Ningbo Mingneng Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership) and Ningbo Haicheng Investment Management Partnership Enterprises (limited partnerships) are new shareholders.

It is worth noting that Ningbo Mingneng Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership) and Ningbo Haicheng Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership) were established on August 24 this year.

Some analysts in the industry pointed out that these three companies are likely to be specially set up to transfer the shares of the electric coffee cars that LeTV and other shareholders have transferred in September this year.

The above-mentioned electric coffee car related person also revealed to the "Daily Economic News" reporter that "the new shareholder of the electric coffee car is actually the relevant team of Zhang Hailiang, LeTV is completely withdrawing." Another noteworthy detail is that the legal representative of the current electric coffee car has been changed to Jindi, which is the company's chief manpower officer. This may also explain from one side that there is no such thing between the electric coffee car and the LeTV car. relationship.

It is understood that in addition to Zhang Hailiang joined the electric coffee car, the former Volvo China executive vice president Xiang Dongping also appeared in the executive list of the electric coffee car, serving as the company's CMO (Chief Marketing Officer); the original CEO of the electric coffee car Li Chun Will serve as company director and president. According to industry and commerce information, Xiangping is currently the legal representative of Shaoxing Electric Coffee Automobile Sales Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Electric Coffee.

The first model has been quietly mass-produced

After leaving LeTV, many people in the industry believe that "in the future, the development of electric coffee cars should be smoother."

Different from the high-profile development of LeTV, in the past two years, the cause of “making cars” in electric coffee cars has been very low-key. According to the reporter's understanding, in the year of the establishment of the electric coffee car, it cooperated with Zotye Automobile to launch a mass production model - electric coffee sesame E30, which is the later "Zhongtai Sesame" pure electric vehicle.

A person familiar with the matter of cooperation between the electric coffee car and Zhongtai Automobile revealed to the reporter of “Daily Economic News” that at that time, Zhongtai Automobile was responsible for the production at the Jintan Base, and the electric coffee car was responsible for promotion and sales, but because the electric coffee car is just LeTV The car investment company did not get much support from the latter, so it encountered problems in marketing. Finally, the electric coffee sesame E30 was transferred to Zhongtai Automobile and renamed as “Zhongtai Sesame”.

In addition, in July 2016, the electric coffee car also reached a cooperation with Southeast Auto, which produced a pure electric vehicle EV10 for the electric coffee car OEM, and has entered the road motor vehicle manufacturing company released on October 31 last year. And the Product Announcement (No. 289) and the subsequent new energy subsidy catalogue are expected to be officially listed this year.

However, this model has not received much attention in the industry at present, and has not yet been put into production. According to a person familiar with the Southeast Auto, the reporter told the Daily Economic News that the electric coffee EV10 was developed by the electric coffee car, the southeast car was responsible for production, and the model was almost ready, but due to some problems, it was delayed. Put into production. "Now, the electric coffee car has been replaced, the sales channel is also re-arranged, and the new car should be available soon."

According to sources, the electric coffee car is upgrading the EV10. It is expected to be listed this year and still be contracted by Southeast Auto. But this does not mean that electric coffee cars will always rely on the foundry model to "build cars."

"We will also prepare applications for the production of electric passenger cars." The electric coffee car related person disclosed that the "15 prototypes, own electric vehicle production base, research and development center" and other hard conditions required for applying for qualifications, electricity Coffee cars will be prepared.
