From Xiaomi's innovative 'Dragon Scale' to Li Auto's cutting-edge 'Qilin 5C', and from BYD's pioneering 'Blade' to Geely's robust 'Golden Brick', China's new energy vehicle sector is witnessing a surge in automaker-driven naming conventions for power batteries. As the vital 'heart' of any vehicle, the procurement of batteries is transitioning from a 'black box' model, where automakers had limited insight and control, to a 'white box' strategy that involves profound participation from automakers themselves. Automakers are no longer content with merely purchasing standardized battery pack solutions. Instead, they are delving deep into the realms of cell materials, production processes, and supply chain management, striving to establish dominance over technical standards and quality systems. Faced with product homogenization, unequal profit distribution, and the enforcement of new national standards, OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) are accelerating their efforts to reclaim battery supremacy from battery manufacturers. Industry experts observe that the 'white boxing' trend is merely the starting point, and the competition between automakers and their supply chains is set to profoundly reshape the landscape of China's new energy industry.
