With the continuous development and popularization of new energy vehicles, unconsciously our travel life has also undergone a lot of changes, the most impressive is that the on-call online car, almost all of them have been replaced by pure electric / hybrid models, there is little trace of fuel vehicles. An important reason for this is that new energy vehicles have a very low cost of using vehicles. Therefore, many manufacturers have also taken a fancy to this point, began to lay out the travel market, for B-end users, launched a lot of such special online car market models, WM E.5 is one of them.
WM E.5 as a pure electric medium-sized car, the vehicle interior and exterior design is simple and generous, the interior space is spacious and comfortable, the 505km NEDC mileage is enough to meet the needs of users for a day, and the other 0.65 hours of fast charging time can also facilitate users to quickly recharge, to cope with some more extreme scenarios, it can be said that everything is for practical purposes. So in terms of the cost of the car that online ride-hailing users are most concerned about, how does the WM E.5 perform? Next, we will investigate its maintenance costs, insurance costs and electricity costs.
Insurance cost survey
WM E.5 has a total of two models on sale, high-end models to have more reversing images, adaptive cruise, sunroof, keyless entry, multi-function steering wheel, front seat heating, 12.3-inch central control screen, navigation, voice control, rear exhaust air outlet, etc., although it seems that high-end models are more cost-effective, but for online car users, the difference of 10,000 yuan is obviously not worth it. Moreover, the configuration of low-end models in all aspects is also good, double airbags, tire pressure display, reversing radar, 12.3-inch LCD dashboard, imitation leather seats, automatic air conditioning, etc. are also available, which is completely enough to use. Therefore, we will take the "2021 model 500 that is, the passenger line" as the survey model.
According to the survey results, after purchasing 1 million three major insurance types, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, WM E.5 paid about 6100 yuan in the first year. If there is no accident in the later use process, the premium will be further reduced, we use the standard premium of 20% off the second year and 30% off in the third year to calculate the total cost of WM E.5 three-year insurance costs, which is about 15250 yuan, an average of about 5083 yuan a year.
Maintenance cost survey
WM E.5 first insurance needs to be carried out at 3000km or 3 months (whichever comes first), and the project is the inspection of the three-electric system, chassis, etc., as well as the replacement of gear oil, and the first maintenance is free. Thereafter, maintenance is required every 10,000km or 12 months, and the project is routine inspection and replacement of air conditioning filter elements, and the routine inspection fee is free.
In terms of some accessories replacement cycle and price, gear oil and antifreeze need to be replaced every 60,000km, with prices of 274 yuan and 340 yuan respectively; brake fluid needs to be replaced every 40,000km, the price is 216 yuan; 12V battery needs to be replaced every 40,000km, the price is 667 yuan.
If the general family car travels 60,000km for three years as the car cycle, the calculation of WM E.5 maintenance costs, about 2325 yuan, the average year needs about 775 yuan. If the annual driving of an online car is 60,000km, the maintenance cost of the WM E.5 for three years is about 6975 yuan. It can be seen that the maintenance cost of Weima E.5 is much less than that of fuel vehicles, and daily small maintenance only needs to replace an air conditioning filter of 138 yuan, in addition, the inspection cost of conventional maintenance is also relatively thick, compared to other brands often two or three hundred yuan of inspection fees, can save a lot of money for car owners.
Electricity Bill Survey
WM E.5 NEDC endurance reached 505km, according to our survey, its actual 100 km power consumption is about 14kWh, we take the current household electricity consumption of about 0.56 yuan / kWh, calculate the WM E.5 electricity bill, driving 10000km electricity cost is 784 yuan, 60000km electricity cost is 4704 yuan. If the outdoor public charging pile is charged at a price of about 1.5 yuan / kWh, the electricity fee for driving 10000km is 2100 yuan, and the electricity fee for 60000km is 12600 yuan. It can be seen that whether or not to use a household charging pile for charging has a considerable impact on the cost of the car. However, from the perspective of online ride-hailing operation, it is inevitable to use outdoor charging piles for fast charging to maximize benefits. But even so, the cost of electricity in the early 2,000 yuan per year is much less than the fuel cost of fuel vehicles.
epilogue:
We add up the above maintenance costs, insurance costs and electricity costs, and we can calculate that the cost of the WM E.5 60,000km for three years is about 22,279 yuan, the average annual cost is about 7,426 yuan, about 618 yuan per month, and the average daily cost is 20.6 yuan. If you take the frequency of 60,000km of online car use per year to calculate the cost of WM E.5 car, it will cost about 60,000 yuan for three years, an average of 1667 yuan per month, and an average daily cost of about 56 yuan. In general, under the low maintenance price and very cheap electricity cost, even if the online car driver uses the car frequently, he only needs to take a few orders a day to earn back the money spent on the daily car, which is still quite good.
