Although electric vehicles are called the future by many people, the trend of the times, but before buying electric vehicles, I think you should first ask yourself a few questions:
First, is the car environment in the southern region? Will winter temperatures fall below -10 degrees?
Second, buying an electric car is used for urban commuting? For example, there is a fuel vehicle at home that runs long distances, or you don't run long distances at all.
Third, can the family follow the private charging pile? Or the unit can be charged, the most unfortunate, but also closer to the fast charging station, charging is more convenient.
The above three conditions are not met, I do not recommend you to buy an electric car, do not be fooled by the new forces of car manufacturing. In other words, the home can be equipped with charging piles, users in the southern region, the premise of having a gas car at home, buying an electric car is the most appropriate. Otherwise, the experience of buying an electric car is not as good as that of a fuel vehicle.
Low cost of electric vehicles?
You say electric vehicles cost less? But you didn't make it clear. The low cost of electric vehicles is based on the premise of installing household charging piles, a kilometer of a few cents, about 1/10 of fuel vehicles, it is indeed true, but still that sentence, if there is no condition to install a household charging pile? To go to the fast charging station to charge, the cost per kilometer is about 2-3 cents. Counting the retention rate of electric vehicles, what is the money that electric vehicles are expensive in insurance every year, and how much advantage is the cost of using electric vehicles? We don't even count the cost of battery attenuation and the need to replace the battery, even if you buy a model with a lifetime battery warranty. However, on December 27, the new energy vehicle captive insurance was officially launched, and most of the brand's electric vehicle premiums are expensive. Also, unless you buy an electric car and drive it to the premium, you can know when you change the car, how low is the retention rate of the electric car?
So many people say that electric vehicles are cheap to use, the calculations are small accounts, or that sentence, the home can install charging piles, the battery decay decreases during the use cycle, a car is ready to drive to scrap, driving an electric car can indeed save money, in addition, it is not necessarily.
The issue of convenience of electric vehicles
Today, in 2022, the convenience of use of electric vehicles is still difficult to compare with fuel vehicles, that is to say, as a means of transportation, it can support fewer use scenarios. Here are a few simple examples:
For example, in the northeast region of winter cars, electric vehicles are simply electric daddies, in the media endurance test, minus 15 degrees of environment, the endurance of electric vehicles have been cut. What about a cooler environment? The endurance of the electric vehicle itself has to be plugged in, so how much is left in the battery life of the electric vehicle?
For example, often long-distance travel, driving an electric car is simply masochistic, you don't think that the charging piles are laid out in Tibet, so the electric car is unimpeded wherever it goes, it can go, but how about the use experience? Are you driving or pushing the limits? High-speed driving, electric vehicle endurance sharply attenuated, holidays, many high-speed service area charging piles to queue, you have to carefully control the mileage, for fear of missing the service area will lead to anchor, but also pray that the charging pile in this service area is not damaged, or there is no queuing situation.
Here, we are not singing the decline of electric vehicles, electric vehicles in many aspects, indeed compared to fuel vehicles have advantages, its driving texture, smoothness, performance, maintenance costs, are much stronger than the same level of fuel vehicles, but far from the stage of fuel vehicles should be eliminated, whether to choose electric vehicles or fuel vehicles, should be based on their own car environment, blindly by the car company marketing publicity around, then you will only be led by the nose to go.
