Recently, BYD, the largest domestic new energy vehicle company, announced that new energy vehicles will rise by different margins from February, coupled with a number of brands that have previously adjusted prices, new energy models have begun to increase prices "across the board"; at the same time, the emergence of new energy exclusive car insurance has also made the cost of many new energy models also begin to grow. In such a context, are new energy vehicles still worth buying?
The cost of new energy vehicles has increased
On January 21, BYD officially announced that due to the sharp rise in raw material prices and the decline of new energy car purchase subsidies, BYD Automobile will adjust the official guidance prices of new energy models related to Dynasty Network and Ocean Network, ranging from 1,000 to 7,000 yuan. The price adjustment will take effect from February 1, and customers who have signed up for the deposit before this time will not be affected by the price adjustment.
Since the end of 2021, Tesla, Xiaopeng, Nezha, Volkswagen and other car companies have officially announced the price increase of some of their models. In 2021, BYD sold nearly 600,000 new energy vehicles, becoming the car company with the largest sales of new energy vehicles in China. BYD's entry also announced the advent of the era of "full-line" price increases for new energy vehicles.
In addition to the price increase of new energy models, after the launch of new energy exclusive car insurance, the insurance price of many models has also begun to rise. On December 28, 2021, the exclusive clause of commercial insurance for new energy vehicles was officially implemented, and the Shanghai Insurance Exchange officially launched the new energy vehicle insurance trading platform, and the first batch of new energy vehicle exclusive insurance products of 12 property insurance companies were listed.
After the launch of new energy exclusive car insurance, many models with more than 250,000 yuan and few maintenance outlets have increased their premiums to varying degrees. For new energy models below 250,000 yuan, the premium has declined to a certain extent.
Are new energy vehicles still worth buying?
Recently, Mr. Liu of Changsha wanted to buy a BYD Han EV model and found a number of BYD 4S stores, and the prices were relatively firm. According to the sales consultant, the price may rise to a certain extent in the later period, and the recent purchase of a car can maintain the original price. Mr. Liu sighed, "It's good to catch the car now."
With the general rise of new energy models, are new energy vehicles still worth buying?
Although the price of new energy vehicles has risen compared with the previous one, it has risen due to the decline of new energy subsidies. However, with the progress of today's new energy automobile industry, new energy vehicles have begun to enter the era of competing products, no longer attached to subsidies. A new energy model of more than 100,000 yuan, the subsidy rose to several thousand yuan, compared with the energy cost saved by the fuel model, there is still a certain advantage.
In addition, the purchase tax reduction advantage of new energy vehicles compared with fuel vehicles may continue to be maintained. According to the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Xiao Yaqing, convener of the inter-ministerial joint conference on the development of energy-saving and new energy automobile industry, secretary of the party group and minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, recently presided over the 2022 annual work conference of the inter-ministerial joint conference on energy conservation and new energy automobile industry development.
The meeting stressed that 2022 is a key year for the mainland's new energy vehicles to take advantage of the momentum and accelerate their development, and to make new contributions to expanding consumption and stabilizing the industrial economy. It is necessary to implement the carbon peak carbon neutrality goal, compile a roadmap for the green development of the automobile industry, study and clarify support policies such as the continuation of new energy vehicle purchase tax preferences as soon as possible, improve the point management requirements, and stabilize market expectations.
If the new energy purchase tax reduction can continue, the cost of new energy models at the time of purchase still has a good advantage. Taking a model of 150,000 yuan as an example, new energy models can save tens of thousands of yuan in cost compared with fuel models.
In addition to the purchase and premium of new energy vehicles, there is also the convenience and cost of charging. The most "tight" charging is the holiday, during the upcoming Spring Festival holiday, Xiaoxiang Morning News reporters will also visit the convenience and cost of charging piles on the spot, and send back first-hand information to everyone.
