Recently, the more popular topic is the words of Weilai boss Li Bin, "Why are there still people buying oil cars now, in addition to being able to smell gasoline, what is good" As the founder of an automobile brand, it is not unfounded to be able to say such a thing, there is no reason, to know that when Weilai ET7 was released, Li Bin also said that Porsche's factory was not as good as Jianghuai Factory, which also caused quite a stir at the time, and when ET5 was released, Li Bin said why are there still people buying oil cars, is this really a coincidence? In fact, Li Bin said that these I think is just a marketing means, to their own upcoming new car to create some hot topics, increase some traffic, but since Weilai ET5 this car is listed, today to talk about this car, as for Li Bin said these words first put aside, just talk about THE ET5 car.
ET5 is a positioning pure electric medium-sized hatchback, the goal is very clear is to target the Tesla Model 3, ET5 is the second car of the Weilai brand, from the price point of view is also the lowest price of the Weilai brand of a car, the guidance price of 32.8-38.6 million, a total of two configurations, at the press conference Weilai ET5 has two options for vehicle purchase and battery rental, the purchase of the whole vehicle is the guidance price written above, and the rental battery two configurations are 258,000, it seems that the price is very low than Tesla Model 3 entry 260,000 is also low, but Tesla Model 3 is with a battery vehicle 260,000 or more, and Weilai ET5 is not with a battery to 258,000, need to pay additional battery rental fees every month, 75kWh per month 980, 100kWh per month 1480, this plan to rent batteries Although the front to buy a car saves some money, but this monthly need to pay additional battery costs, some people are unacceptable, especially people who are not too cold to electric vehicles.
What is the ET5 car
Just said above, ET5 is the second car of Weilai, the order of Weilai's release of new cars may be affected by Mercedes-Benz, like to release from high to low, to increase the brand impression of consumers, the current car has been released, but want to pick up the car back to wait until September next year can be delivered, buy an electric car need to wait for 9 months There is always a sense of nothingness, not because you can not deliver the car, but this need you to pay money first, etc. There is a car in telling you to pick up the car, which has a kind of money to lend to the manufacturer, Then begging Weilai to give me a car, I personally do not like this way of buying a car (only representing personal views), in the basic information of this car, Weilai ET5 body size 4790 long, width 1960, height 1499, wheelbase 2888mm, all using front and rear dual motor layout, the front motor uses induction asynchronous, the rear motor uses permanent magnet synchronization, the maximum power is 490 horsepower, the maximum torque is 700 Nm, Zero hundred acceleration 4.3 seconds, indicating that the entire series of Weilai ET5 is a dual motor version, there is currently no single motor rear-drive version, the follow-up may be out of the 150kWh solid-state battery version, say the two models that currently have prices, the guidance price is 328,000 and 386,000, there is no difference in the configuration of the two vehicles, the main difference is concentrated in the battery part, 328,000 use is a 75kWh battery, but this battery is not a complete ternary lithium battery, but a ternary lithium battery plus lithium iron phosphate combination battery pack, etc. 386,000 use is a 100kWh battery pack, and is completely a ternary lithium battery The former CLTC gives an endurance of 550 kilometers, the latter 700 kilometers, the difference between the two cars is 58,000, the endurance difference is 150 kilometers, and the configuration is exactly the same.
ET5 rent batteries and whole vehicle that cost-effective
About buying this car is renting a battery, or the whole vehicle to buy, need to look at it from several aspects, first of all, Weilai ET5 is an electric vehicle, no matter how high and full its configuration is, how fast the zero hundred acceleration, its service life is certainly not as good as the traditional fuel vehicle, in accordance with the electric use of the age standard, temporarily according to the 6 years of use of time, choose to rent a battery program, 100kWh version of the rental battery price of 258,000, than the purchase of the whole vehicle to save 128,000, the following is the monthly rental battery costs, 6 years a total of 72 months, 100kWh battery rental costs 1480 yuan per month, 6 years is 106,560 yuan, The 128,000 saved by choosing to rent a battery is just enough to rent a battery for the next 6 years, but this is only from the perspective of battery cost, if you count the annual insurance, the maintenance cost will be higher, but the current calculation of buying Weilai ET5 use time is within 6 years or renting a battery is relatively cost-effective, and there is no need to worry about battery attenuation, but when you choose to rent a battery, you are also firmly tied to it. In addition to these Weilai ET5 can also be optional, as well as custom appearance interior color, but the price is also relatively high Interested can go to the official to understand.

I don't know if you remember, the earlier few years of Weilai's most famous model is EP9, this car was set at a price of 10 million, and brushed a variety of laps in New North, in short, this is a car for everyone to know, in other words, let more people know about the Weilai brand, but this car is not a strange species, it is an electric formula hull only, after everyone knows the Weilai brand, Weilai has released the real sense of the mass production car ES8, I personally think, ES8 is definitely a car that grasps the life and death of the Weilai brand, but this car occupies the time and place, because 4 years ago, that is, in 2017, when the electric car was not as rich as it is now, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was difficult to buy an electric car at that time to find a decent ternary lithium battery, basically it is iron phosphate, and the price of electric vehicles equipped with ternary lithium batteries is also generally very high, Tesla's Model S and Model X were appropriate electric luxury cars at that time, and the price was also million-level. This makes the electric vehicle in around 17 years of polarization is very serious, either more than 100,000, or a million-level, this has formed a large fault in the middle, the emergence of Weilai ES8 just made up for the gap in the middle, but also the first high-end electric SUV of the domestic brand, after the success of Weilai and then released other models, although in just a few years, the electric vehicle market has undergone earth-shaking changes, now look at the Weilai ES8 this car basically has no feeling, especially so many years of freshness has long passed, The exterior interior is not as stunning as it was at the time, and it is usually seen less on the road, basically ES6, but these are not important because of the brand image of Weilai and standing, and now Weilai is still a representative brand of high-end electric vehicles.
Competitors of ET5
Weilai ET5 has many competitors, Xiaopeng p7, BYD Han, Extreme Kr 001, Tesla Model 3, but the most direct opponent of these cars is Tesla Model 3, don't look at Tesla Model 3 negative news a lot, but this has not affected its sales, but it can not be said that it does not affect just not obviously, followed by the price of Weilai ET5 vehicle with battery price of 32.8-38.6 million, and this price can also buy Model 3 high-performance all-wheel drive version However, these two brands have their own iron powder, Tesla's iron powder will not care about the leaky interior, Weilai's iron powder will not care about Weilai's routine, so the buying crowd of these two brands will not be like buying BYD Han, Xiaopeng p7 and other people.
summary
At present, Weilai has established a high-end image in the domestic electric vehicle brand, but the blind pursuit of the high-end market will also lose a lot, from the ES6 and ET5 these two cars can be seen, Weilai also wants to occupy more markets, but want to do Tesla like Model 3 and Model Y to support sales, Model S and Model X to establish a high-end imagination is still difficult, which is why Weilai does not dare to say that its opponent is Tesla, but BBA, no matter what brand wants to support the high-end image , there must be a more affordable model shouldering the volume, from the volume of models to exchange for the development costs of follow-up high-end models, BBA is the same, and Weilai gives me the feeling of more in the game, there is a feeling that it is picking whether you are suitable for buying Weilai, similar to me buying a thing, the money I spent did not spend on the essence of things, but spent on service, take ET5 this car, in today's electric vehicle market ET5 did not do a bright, There is nothing beyond the opponent, so as said above, buy this car is more in its brand value than the vehicle itself, but then again, Weilai service is the high-end crowd, rich people buy things originally bought is the service, is to enjoy, this is also the reason why many people recognize the concept of Weilai, buy a car, it is difficult to buy I am willing, their own money to buy anything as long as they like it, but if you pursue cost-effective, plus the lower cost of electric vehicles, Then NIO ET5 is not suitable for purchase.
