Just entered 2022, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "Notice of the Development and Reform Commission of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the Ministry of Finance on the Financial Subsidy Policy for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles in 2022", compared with the subsidy for new energy vehicles in 2021, this year's direct decline of 30%, and after this year, the purchase of new energy vehicles will no longer enjoy subsidy policies.
Affected by the decline of subsidies, there are now many new energy vehicles that have increased in price, which is undoubtedly a big loss for consumers. Subsidies have become less, not to mention the price of cars, which has cost a lot more money. So, as the last year of enjoying new energy subsidies, is it time to buy new energy vehicles?
New energy vehicles have replaced fuel vehicles
ENJOY THE SUMMER
According to the data provided by the Association, the cumulative retail sales of the domestic automobile market from January to December 2021 were 20.146 million units, an increase of 4.4% year-on-year, of which the retail sales of new energy vehicles were 2.989 million units, up 169.1% year-on-year.
Compared with 2020, the net increase in domestic automobile sales in 2021 is 860,000 units. Among them, traditional fuel vehicles decreased by 1.02 million units, down 6% year-on-year; the increase in new energy vehicles reached 1.88 million units, an increase of 169% year-on-year, becoming the main driving force for retail sales growth in 2021, contributing 9 percentage points to the year-on-year growth rate.
In addition, from the perspective of penetration rate, the penetration rate of domestic new energy vehicles last year was 14.8%, which was more than twice as high as the penetration rate of 5.8% in 2020. It can be seen from the data provided by the Association that new energy vehicles have formed a substitution effect on fuel vehicles, and the speed is gradually accelerating. Compared with previous years, the acceptance of new energy vehicles by domestic consumers has been greatly improved.
Can the current new energy vehicles be bought?
As we all know, new energy vehicles are mainly divided into pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, rather than asking whether now is the best time to buy new energy vehicles, it is better to say whether pure electric vehicles can now be bought realistically. After all, after this year, the purchase of new energy vehicles will no longer enjoy subsidies. For this question, the author personally believes that it still has to be different from person to person.
The problem of endurance has been a constant topic since the time when pure electric vehicles were created, but is consumers' concerns about pure electric vehicles really the problem of endurance? Obviously not, with the advancement of technology in recent years, most pure electric vehicles can now achieve a comprehensive mileage of more than 500km, which is not much different from the mileage of fuel vehicles when filling a tank of fuel, not to mention that some pure electric vehicles can break through 1000km.
For consumers, the biggest problem of pure electric vehicles now is the problem of charging time and winter battery life discount. Even with the blessing of fast charging, it takes about half an hour to charge the electricity from 20% to 80%, and the construction of charging piles is still far from the 1:1 indicator of the vehicle-to-pile ratio planned in the "Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Development Guide (2015-2020)". During the National Day holiday, electric vehicle owners compete for charging piles on high-speed servers to reflect the problem. As for the problem of winter endurance discounts, it is also a cliché, and the 50% discount on the endurance of pure electric vehicles in the northern winter is not a new thing.
Therefore, pure electric vehicles are not suitable for all families at present. For consumers who already have a fuel car at home, they can indeed buy a pure electric car to meet daily commuting, and use a fuel car when they go out of the door, and there will be no problem of charging and battery life discounts.
But for friends who do not have a car at home, even if there is no subsidy next year, until the problem of charging and winter battery life is not fundamentally solved, never include pure electric vehicles in the purchase option, hybrid is the best choice.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles are also subsidized
As mentioned above, pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles belong to the category of new energy vehicles, but the subsidies for plug-in hybrid vehicles are smaller, but they can also hang green cards. Here it is recommended that you buy plug-in hybrid cars mainly independent brands, such as Changan and BYD.
Because the joint venture brand PHEV models are too expensive in terms of price, and whether it is pure electric mileage or lost power, fuel consumption is not as good as BYD and Changan Automobile's equivalent products. Take BYD Song PLUS DM-i, the whole vehicle has a pure electric mileage of 110km, and the fuel consumption is only 4.4L/100km.
The toyota RAV4 of the same level is equipped with a dual engine E+, with a pure electric mileage of only 95km and a loss of 5.2L of fuel consumption. And in terms of price, rav4 rongfang double engine E+ starting price of 248,800 yuan, BYD Song PLUS DM-i price range is only 14.68-16.98 million yuan, a difference of nearly 100,000 yuan, who is more worth starting to see.
The same is true for Changan Automobile, although UNI-K iDD has not yet been listed, but according to the currently known information, the new car has a pure electric endurance of 130km, and the fuel consumption is 5L/100km. It is worth mentioning that the UNI-K iDD is a medium-sized SUV with a pre-sale price range of only 176,900-192,900 yuan.
Judging from the popularity of BYD DM-i models last year, the low fuel consumption plug-in hybrid models have been recognized by more and more consumers, and the plug-in hybrid cars that can be green cards are undoubtedly the most preferred choice for car purchases at present. In the last year of enjoying new energy subsidies, friends who have a car purchase plan can seize the time, and it is not cost-effective to miss the purchase of a car after this year.
Write at the end:
As the saying goes, "buy early and enjoy early, buy late to enjoy discounts", but in the pure electric vehicle market this sentence is obviously not suitable, for more people to buy early not only can not enjoy, late buy can not enjoy the discount but to increase the price, and the oilable plug-in hybrid car is the best choice, taking advantage of the last year of subsidies, friends with car purchase plans can seize the time.
