Recently, Li Bin, CEO of Weilai Automobile, said a very controversial statement in an interview with the media, he said: "Why are there still people buying oil trucks, I can't understand it at all." How nostalgic a person is to buy a gas car! Except for the gasoline smell of gasoline now, I really can't think of anything better. ”
Li Bin
Many netizens on the Internet began to respond to Li Bin, saying that buying a gas car is not for nostalgia, but based on the convenience of travel.
This morning, Shen Hui, CEO of WM Motors, inadvertently gave an answer, which may explain why people are still buying oil cars.
Shen Hui posted a screenshot of a W6 owner in Guangzhou who bought a car and spat bitterly at him. The owner said: After picking up the car in October, it took nearly 2 months to find all parties, but still did not successfully install charging piles in the community. Because the property does not approve the charge on the grounds that the parking space cannot be installed and the electricity quota is used. So much so that he even regretted buying an electric car a little.
Shen Hui wrote: "Every time I hear the owner complain to me about the difficulty of installing the charging pile, my heart is very heavy. This year, WM delivered more than 40,000 vehicles, but nearly 20,000 charging piles distributed with the car could not be delivered. ”
It can be seen that there is a certain resistance to the installation of charging piles in the community. Many netizens have also left messages saying that the status quo is very embarrassing, the reason for this is on the one hand, the capacity of the community grid, and on the other hand, there are also properties that will take into account the issue of safety responsibility. Some people hope that car companies or policies can have relevant measures to ensure that car owners can successfully install charging piles after purchasing a car.
And according to Shen Hui, nearly 20,000 of the more than 40,000 cars cannot be sent out, which means that nearly half of the owners cannot install charging piles on their parking spaces. This proportion is really not small.
Shen Hui's case should be able to answer Li Bin's question, most people buy oil trucks, but not just because of nostalgia. That's because there are still many inconveniences for new energy vehicles.
From the current point of view, the advantages and disadvantages of electric vehicles to people's travel are very obvious.
The advantages are that they are green and environmentally friendly, have a more special driving experience, and can also enjoy certain subsidies for car purchases.
As for the disadvantages, the above-mentioned charging pile is difficult to install in their own parking spaces is one of them. In addition, there are long-distance travel charging inconveniences.
During the eleventh holiday this year, there were also reports that a new energy vehicle owner drove back to his hometown, the original 8-hour journey, the result of driving a new energy vehicle took sixteen hours, and even in order to queue up in the high-speed service area to wait for the opportunity to charge, even the toilet did not dare to go.
There have also been reports before that in the summer, an electric car owner encountered traffic jams on the road, and did not dare to turn on the air conditioner, choosing to go to the shade to cool down in order to save electricity.
This brings us to another problem: the mileage anxiety of car owners caused by new energy vehicles. This is especially evident in winter, where many electric vehicles will have a shorter driving range in winter. In addition, if it is a fuel car, it can rely on the heat of the engine to heat the car in winter, but the electric vehicle can only be heated by power consumption, which further causes trouble to the owner.
The above inconveniences are why many people are still buying oil trucks instead of new energy vehicles.
Li Bin, as the founder and CEO of Weilai Automobile, they sell new energy vehicles, and it is no problem to push their own products, but it is a bit inappropriate to use a very confusing logic to question why someone buys a fuel car.
BYD founder Wang Chuanfu
Of course, the popularity of electric vehicles is very fast, BYD founder Wang Chuanfu recently analyzed in an interview: "Assuming that the penetration rate of (electric vehicles) in 2022 is the same as that in 2021, according to the average increase of new energy penetration rate of 1.3% per month in 2021, at the end of 2022, the penetration rate will reach 35%. ”
According to this trend, the era of most people driving electric vehicles will eventually come, but this result is not obtained by spitting out oil trucks, but by popularizing charging facilities and improving the travel experience of electric vehicles.
