Mercedes-Benz EQC seems to be a new energy version of Mercedes-Benz GLC from the appearance, but it can not only be green card, the cost of car maintenance is much lower than that of Mercedes-Benz GRC, which is also the main reason why many people choose to buy it. However, we know that with the introduction of new energy vehicle exclusive insurance, the cost of many new energy vehicles has no original advantage, and the main reason is that the insurance has a certain range of price increases. Today we will take a look at whether mercedes-Benz EQC is like most new energy models in the car maintenance area, which has been affected by the new car insurance?
Among the Mercedes-Benz EQC models on sale, the currently highly concerned configuration is the entry-level 2022 EQC 350 4MATIC. Today we will take it as a reference to see what is the situation of Mercedes-Benz EQC in terms of insurance costs, maintenance costs and electricity costs.
Insurance Costs:
After the launch of the new energy vehicle exclusive insurance, Mercedes-Benz EQC in the purchase of 1 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, the insurance cost is 11,072 yuan, compared with before, there is indeed a big increase, almost 3,000 yuan more expensive. Where is it? According to the provisions of the exclusive insurance of new energy vehicles, the new insurance needs to cover more items such as three electric warranty and spontaneous combustion in the car damage insurance, and the extra 3,000 yuan of the new insurance is spent here.
Under the new insurance, if we have not been insured for three years, after calculating the insurance company's declining discount year by year, the total insurance cost required for this car for three years is 27680 yuan, and the average annual insurance cost is 9226 yuan, which is about 2500 yuan more expensive than before. Such insurance increases are indeed more than the new energy vehicles we have recently calculated.
Maintenance cost:
The basic maintenance of the Mercedes-Benz EQC includes vehicle inspection and replacement of air conditioning filters, according to the information we have learned, Mercedes-Benz currently provides a free basic maintenance policy for this car for 6 years and 180,000 kilometers. That is to say, in the case of driving 60,000 kilometers in the first three years of buying a car, only need to pay some additional consumables replacement costs, Mercedes-Benz EQC in 60,000 kilometers need to replace the consumables only brake oil, almost at 40,000 kilometers to replace, of which the accessories are 190 yuan, the working hours cost is 219 yuan, and the total cost of replacement is 409 yuan.
Therefore, under the premise of driving 60,000 kilometers in the three years before buying a car, the owner only needs to pay 409 yuan for the maintenance of Mercedes-Benz EQC, and the average year only needs to spend 136 yuan on maintenance.
Electricity:
According to our tests, the actual cruising range of the Mercedes-Benz EQC in the full power state can reach about 400 kilometers, and the power consumption of this car is 19.8kWh/100km according to the car's battery capacity of 79.2kWh. If we assume that the mileage of a year is 20,000 kilometers, of which 10,000 kilometers are charged at home with household electricity, and another 10,000 kilometers are charged by public charging piles, the price of household electricity is almost 0.56 yuan / kWh, and the electricity price of public charging piles is almost 1.7 yuan / kWh. By calculation, in this case, the annual electricity cost of the car is 4474 yuan, and the average monthly needs 372 yuan for charging.
summary:
By adding up the insurance cost, maintenance cost and electricity cost, we conclude that after the introduction of the new energy vehicle exclusive insurance, without calculating other soft expenses, it costs almost 14536 yuan to raise a Mercedes-Benz EQC a year, and the average monthly costs 1211 yuan, although it still saves more than half of the car maintenance expenses than the same level of fuel vehicles, but compared to the original, it costs almost 208 yuan more per month on the car, and the year is 2500 yuan. It can be seen that the introduction of exclusive insurance for new energy vehicles has a relatively large impact on Mercedes-Benz EQC.
