New energy vehicles, fuel vehicles, if it is you, which one will you choose to buy? For people who have not bought a car and have the idea of buying a car, perhaps new energy vehicles are more popular. Why? Because of the rise in oil prices, the cost of refueling fuel vehicles is getting higher and higher.
In 2021, the price of refined oil products rose 15 times, and the price of gasoline rose by 1485 yuan / ton in 1 year. In 2022, oil prices ushered in the beginning of the year "two consecutive rises", the most recent one was on January 29, gasoline prices increased by 310 yuan / ton, so that many car owners are very "troubled".
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that new energy vehicles that do not burn oil but only charge are becoming more and more popular.
Sales of new energy vehicles increased
From the data point of view, the sales of new energy vehicles are all the way up. According to the data released by the Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2021, the global sales volume of new energy vehicles reached 6.23 million units, and the mainland accounted for 53% of the share, reaching 2.989 million units with a year-on-year growth rate of 169.1%.
It is worth mentioning that the mainland's new energy vehicle market occupies 61% of the global electric vehicle market share, and it can be seen that the mainland's new energy vehicle industry is very competitive. At the same time, domestic excellent car companies, including BYD, Wuling Hongguang, SAIC Motor and other excellent car companies, are also among the best in the global sales of new energy vehicles, and BYD has reached the second largest sales volume in the world.
Even Tesla, which ranks first in the world, 51% of its sales come from the Shanghai factory. Moreover, the latest data shows that in January 2022, the sales of new energy vehicle brands such as BYD, Xiaopeng Automobile, GAC Aean and so on also achieved different degrees of growth.
This kind of data, in addition to proving the mainland's super ability in this industry, can also be seen that new energy vehicles are becoming more and more popular. However, for those new energy car owners, they think that although new energy vehicles do not have to worry about fuel costs, they are more "expensive" than fuel vehicles. Here comes the answer:
The cost of buying a car is higher
People think that new energy vehicles save money because they do not need to burn oil, and the price of charging is also very cheap. However, some new energy vehicle owners said that new energy vehicles are more expensive in other places, such as the cost of car purchases. Speaking of which, the price of a new energy vehicle today is not cheap.
Many brands of new energy vehicles are much more expensive than fuel vehicles, especially in 2022, new energy vehicles have even "increased prices". For example, some of BYD's new energy vehicles have been adjusted since February 1, with an increase of up to 1,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan;
On the same day, SAIC's Extraordinary Automobile also announced the price increase of two of its new energy vehicles, an increase of 1,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan; from February 28, the price of FAW-Volkswagen ID.CROZZ new energy vehicles will also be raised by 5,400 yuan; and before that, the price increase of Xiaopeng Automobile in January was 4300 yuan to 5900 yuan; even Tesla announced a price increase at the end of 2021, and the price increase of a certain car even reached 21,000 yuan.
Car prices are not the only cost of car purchase, but also the premium of new energy vehicles. Since the exclusive new energy vehicle insurance came out, the renewal premiums of many cars have risen a lot, after the media reported that Tesla's renewal premiums rose by 80%, from more than 8,000 directly to 14,000 yuan;
The premiums of brands such as Weilai, Xiaopeng and Ideal have also risen to varying degrees, about 10%. These are the main costs faced by new energy vehicles, so it seems that they are not much more "cost-effective" than fuel vehicles.
It is too expensive to change the battery
Moreover, in addition to the cost of car purchase, new energy vehicles also face the problem of replacing batteries. Power battery is the core of new energy vehicles, but also the highest part of the cost of the vehicle, there have been data show that the cost of power battery can account for 40% of the cost of the vehicle, if 100,000 yuan of the car, the price of the battery may account for 40,000 yuan.
New energy car owners should know that the power battery is a life, generally 4-8 years, the battery should be replaced after the decommissioning, and how expensive the battery price is, we can also imagine. Although battery recycling can offset part of the price, it is still a big expense.
Some car owners even said that the money for changing the battery is enough to change a new car, no wonder some car owners feel that it is expensive, if so, then the little fuel money saved is simply a small witch compared with these costs.
In general, for some new energy vehicle owners, the cost of new energy vehicles is higher, whether it is car purchase or daily costs, so new energy vehicles will feel more expensive. However, in fact, the cost of many cars is also very high, not to mention burning oil, the price of high-equipped cars is not cheap, repair, replacement of parts, maintenance, etc., every year is not a small expense.
Therefore, in the end, which is more expensive, or there is a matter of opinion, after all, the car is also divided into price, grade, imported domestic, can not compare which is better. So which do you think is better for everyone? If it were you, which one would you buy? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section.
