The old scooter refers to a four-wheeled electric vehicle with a similar appearance to an electric car, such a vehicle that is almost indistinguishable from the car, but its price is only one-tenth of that of the electric car, and the market price is generally around 1-2 yuan, some people ask, so cheap, will the production of the old scooter not lose money? Small connoisseurs said that to know that no one will do loss-making trading, even if it is to sell about 10,000 vehicles, the merchant is actually still "profitable", today to share with you to sell an old scooter of about 10,000, how much is the factory price? How much does the merchant earn?
What are the more valuable parts of the old scooter?
As an electric vehicle, its core cost is inseparable from the "4 major pieces", including batteries, motors, controllers, and body, which together account for about 80% of the manufacturing cost of an old scooter.
In other parts, although there are also many models of old scooters now, with automotive-grade configurations, including reversing images, large screens, airbags, electric adjustable seats, electronic shifts, air conditioning and other configurations, but if it is an old scooter of about 10,000 yuan, these configurations will basically not exist.
About 10,000 yuan of the old scooter, are relatively basic configuration, including tires, headlights, glass, rearview mirrors, seats, interiors, etc., because in order to compress the cost, can only meet the daily travel, will not enjoy a better driving experience, then, I will give you a calculation, see how much these basic configurations, the cost price is.
How much is the ex-factory price of a vehicle of about 10,000 yuan? How much does the merchant earn?
Let's start with the cost of 4 large pieces
Battery is a very important part of the electric vehicle, but also the proportion of relatively high cost of components, generally about 10,000 yuan, will not carry too high capacity battery, according to the 60V58AH point of view, a 12V58AH battery cost of 400 yuan, that battery cost of 2000 yuan.
The motor is the provider of vehicle power, of course, the power of the old scooter is generally not particularly good, especially for vehicles of about 10,000 yuan, the motor is generally about 1000W, and the cost is about 700 yuan.
The controller is the "brain" of an electric car, it is the "commander" in the battery and the motor, but the cost of the controller is not high, some of the better two or three hundred yuan or so, cheap 150 yuan can be bought.
The body mainly includes the frame and shell, the body of a small four-wheeled electric vehicle can be compressed within 500 yuan, and the shell is made of metal sheet metal, which needs to have a certain anti-collision ability, and its cost is at least about 1500 yuan.
Look at the cost of other components
Tires are also important parts of the vehicle, it is an important part that affects the safety of the vehicle, even if it is a cheap car, most manufacturers still have a bottom line, will not use low-quality, inferior tires, quality of tires, will not be less than 500 yuan.
All the lights of the vehicle add up together basically around 300 yuan, an old scooter, there are 6 pieces of glass (windshield, window glass) + 2 rearview mirrors, manufacturing costs to 150 yuan, 50 yuan, 30 yuan, a total of 560 yuan.
Seats and interiors will not affect the driving safety of the vehicle, therefore, these costs can be compressed, about 10,000 vehicles, the cost of seats, interiors and other parts can be controlled within 1500 yuan.
Finally, look at the factory cost price
From the perspective of the cost of the main four major parts of the comprehensive vehicle and the cost of other parts, by calculating 2000+700+150+1500+500+560+1500 is equal to about 6910 yuan, which is probably a low-equipped old scooter, its factory price.
Then, the factory price is about 7,000 yuan, the manufacturer's profit is basically around 1,000 yuan to 1,500 yuan, which means that a 10,000 yuan old scooter, in the hands of the dealer, the price is about 8,000 yuan to 8,500 yuan, then, if the dealer sells a vehicle of 10,000 yuan, the profit can be about 1,500 yuan to 2,000 yuan, this profit is much higher than selling a two-wheeled electric vehicle, the profit is only 200 yuan to 500 yuan, much higher.
Conclusion: Even if it is a vehicle of about 10,000 yuan, its profit margin is still one-third, but just imagine, this is a vehicle similar to the car, the cost is so low, although it seems to bring benefits to the owner, but such a low price, but also led to its poor manufacturing process, its safety protection is not good, for such a vehicle, there will be a certain safety hazard when driving, therefore, many places are stipulated that such old scooters are not allowed to go on the road.
The low-speed electric vehicle will also issue a standard, the standard in the vehicle production of many aspects of the requirements, of which the greater impact is the body (collision resistance), battery (energy density), safety protection (seat belt, ABS system) and other configuration requirements, and with these requirements, the safety of the vehicle will be better, the practicality is higher, of course, this also on the vehicle manufacturing cost has been improved, manufacturers in order to sell low prices, compression will affect the vehicle safety configuration will become the "past tense".
So, how much do you think a four-wheeled low-speed electric car should be at the right price? Welcome to comment and exchange, pay attention to electric vehicle experts, and share electric vehicle related information and views every day.
