"It's 2021, and I don't understand why anyone would buy a fuel car..."
This is what the helmsman of a car brand said in an interview with the media recently, who is specific to me here, I will not say it here, interested in their own to check. This kind of somewhat irresponsible remarks have set off an uproar on the Internet, almost all of them are verbal and written, the exposure of this brand has reached its peak again, I have to say that capital does have a set of controls on public opinion, "black powder" is also "powder" isn't it?
Although I am definitely scornful of his "sensationalism" behavior of selling cars to increase exposure, it does not prevent us from seriously studying and looking at the current position of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles in each other's fields, the two types of cars We jump out of the interference of car companies, stand at the consumer level, and seriously think about which car is suitable for consumers.
Similar to only electric vehicles, or almost only fuel vehicles of the brand we will not take the judgment, the reason is very simple, just like the above mentioned someone, their own no fuel car can be unscrupulous, big words, this kind of biased behavior is too irresponsible to consumers, we will take both the main model of fuel vehicles, and the main model of electric vehicles to see the brand, it is in the creation of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles, consumers in the face of the same price, the same brand of fuel vehicles, electric vehicles when how to choose.
Differentiate the different emphases of the two cars from the configuration performance
I don't know if anyone guessed which two cars I would use to compare? Come on, I will reveal the answer, the fuel car represents "Volkswagen Tanyue", and the electric vehicle represents "Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ". Volkswagen as the world's most expensive representative car company, its fuel vehicle strength is self-evident, and Volkswagen is also the traditional brand in the new energy electric vehicle level transformation of the fastest, the most thorough transformation of the car company, and the new ID.4 CROZZ is from its huge investment to create MEB pure electric vehicle model, so for volkswagen, the palm of the hand is meat, whether it is Tanyue or ID.4 CROZZ at least at the moment, is its inseparable heart meat. In addition, the two are almost the same in terms of price, and the comparison between the two can be said to be the most representative products.
Let's start with the body dimensions:
We can find the advantages of this electric vehicle built from a pure electric platform in the face of fuel vehicles in terms of body size, because electric vehicles do not need to arrange engine gearboxes, so its front axle can be designed very front, making room for the interior. Just like id.4 CROZZ and Tanyue, although the two lengths are extremely similar, ID.4 CROZZ is only 3 mm longer than Tanyue, but its wheelbase can be 34 mm longer than Tanyue, and the extra wheelbase in this part is very helpful for the layout of the interior space.
Then there's the comparison of the power planes:
Compared with the car engine, the electric vehicle motor is easier to make the parameters larger and more conspicuous, which is also very obvious in the ID.4 CROZZ and Tanyue. However, because the weight of electric vehicles is generally much higher than that of fuel vehicles, under the premise that the difference in basic horsepower is not particularly large, the acceleration capacity of the two is actually similar, and the maximum speed of Tanyue is much higher than that of ID.4 CROZZ.
Then there is the configuration level, and the obvious difference between the two reflects the phenomenon that can be described as "different eras".
Tanyue is a very standard traditional fuel vehicle thinking, for the proportion of scientific and technological intelligent configuration is not particularly high, which is also a common phenomenon in many fuel vehicles (see clearly, is the majority, not all), similar lane departure warning, lane keeping, parallel assist These intelligent safety configurations will not be equipped with you from the lowest match, and the TOP model needs to be fully equipped on the top model on the Tanyue, and ID.4 CROZZ in addition to the parallel assist in addition to the full system of standard equipment.
Tanyue is not even equipped with a reversing image on the low-end model, only in the middle, and the 360 panoramic image is equipped with the top, the same is true in the cruise system column, the top configuration has full-speed domain adaptive cruise, and the rest of the configuration is only fixed speed cruise. The ID.4 CROZZ is equipped with full-speed domain adaptive cruise as standard, and the minimum configuration is also equipped with reversing images, and the higher three configurations are equipped with 360 panoramic images.
Finally, there is a very big difference between the central control in-car entertainment system, although the Volkswagen fuel vehicle is still excellent compared to the central control system such as Toyota and Honda, but in the face of new energy models, it shows a situation of being crushed. These functions are more difficult to describe in words, I simply put it is ID.4 CROZZ's central control entertainment system, whether it is function or convenience of operation, is more like the current Samsung S21, iPhone13, and the central control of traditional fuel vehicles such as Tanyue is more like the very early smart machine around 2011, which is not an era at all.
Consumption habits and spending power determine the purchase tendency
Through the above comparison, does that mean that electric vehicles are almost all-round rolling fuel vehicles? In fact, this is not the case, at least at present, fuel vehicles have more advantages than electric vehicles, and compared to the functional advantages presented by electric vehicles, these advantages of fuel vehicles are the pain points of consumers.
The simplest is ease of use and mileage anxiety. Almost all fuel vehicles do not have the so-called mileage anxiety, 2 minutes to fill a tank of fuel, the city to run 450 kilometers up and down, high-speed easy to run more than 600 kilometers without any problems; and electric vehicle city endurance can still maintain its official calibration data, but to the high speed If you maintain 120km/h speed at high speed, the endurance of electric vehicles is reduced by 30% or even 40%. In addition, the most critical thing is that there are fewer charging piles, and the charging time is too long compared to the fuel vehicle, which restricts the convenience of electric vehicles for various reasons.
In fact, there is a small episode here, there is a car friend in my own car friend group (I will not say what the specific car friend group), purchased a Tesla this year, as a leading car company in new energy, Tesla has all the advantages of new energy vehicles, which is indeed undeniable, but his sentence after the National Day surprised me, he and the riders argued about how convenient it is to use their electric vehicles, and said: "I go out to play on National Day, plan the charging time in advance, there is no mileage anxiety in charging location, it is very convenient... "Since you need to plan in advance, is it still convenient?" Will the owners of fuel vehicles have such doubts? This kind of speech is more or less a phenomenon of being brainwashed by new energy vehicle companies, and we have to admit the advantages and disadvantages of our products in order to make better progress.
Usage habits, use scenarios and consumption capacity is still the main factor in choosing a tram or fuel vehicle, so far, the vast majority of consumers who have purchased electric vehicles are in their own premise of owning a fuel vehicle, to buy electric vehicles, why buy electric vehicles we do not go to study deeply here, but this premise is the most able to explain the current new energy form of embodiment, people will still need a fuel vehicle to guarantee the bottom, will choose electric vehicles to taste the early, will not desperately devote themselves to the ranks of electric vehicles.
When you have a fixed driving route, like to try early technology products, have a fixed charging time and sufficient car purchase funds, it is no problem to buy an electric car, but if your driving mileage demand is high, time is scarce (or unwilling to wait), and when the route is not fixed, the fuel car is still the best choice at the moment.
In addition, there is a point of more critical, at least for now, the cost of electric vehicles will be much less than that of fuel vehicles, neither have to pay high oil prices, nor face the spending scene of large maintenance and small maintenance, which is also some places that consumers who have car purchase doubts need to consider.
epilogue
Charging time, the popularity of charging piles, and the management of charging equipment are still the key factors restricting the large number of electric vehicles. In my opinion, if you don't want to try and be used as a guinea pig, then the fuel car is still the best choice, but if you have enough spare money and are willing to try it out and feel the technological feelings brought by new things, then the electric car is also a good choice as your family's second car.
Finally, I would like to advise you to be rational with fuel vehicle die-hard fans and electric vehicle brainwashing fans. Fuel car fans should know that fuel vehicles have indeed been listed on the list of being eliminated at present, which is an indisputable fact. Electric vehicle fans should also understand that although fuel vehicles will be eliminated in the future, it is by no means comparable to the current electric vehicles with the strength of this product, and the road to be taken by electric vehicles is still very long.
