With the opening of the global electrification pattern, more and more electric vehicles have entered the automobile market, and from the current situation in China, whether it is a new car-making force or a traditional car company, the investment in the field of electric vehicles is the largest. As a result, more and more consumers feel the future of electric vehicles and begin to choose electric vehicles as their means of travel. But for electric vehicles, charging and endurance has always been a headache for many people, there are better charging conditions can also be, do not run long distances can basically ensure short-distance travel, but there is no stable charging conditions, charging in public charging piles every day is very inconvenient. But do electric cars really have only these two flaws? Of course it's not that simple.
Another troublesome issue for electric vehicles is maintenance. Electric vehicles are electronics that must be operated frequently, not 100% malfunction. Regarding the failure of the mechanical part of the vehicle, almost all repair shops and 4S shops can now repair and replace parts. However, for the electrical part of the core, especially the electronic control and battery part, if there is a problem, it can only be directly replaced or returned to the factory for repair. This is also a factor in the refusal of many consumers to buy electric vehicles. However, at present, most automobile companies in order to eliminate consumer concerns about car maintenance, electric vehicles generally have a long quality assurance cycle. Ordinary fuel vehicles are generally guaranteed to be 100,000 kilometers in 4 years, while electric vehicles are guaranteed at least 150,000 kilometers in 6 years. Many auto companies have achieved a lifetime warranty of core components, but this ultra-long warranty period is also conditional. First of all, it must be the first owner, and secondly, there must be no major accidents.
In fact, the first car owner can enjoy a lifetime warranty. This condition is easy to understand. Originally, when manufacturers and 4S shops sold cars, they earned the money of the first generation of car owners, and the money of second-hand car owners was mainly earned by second-hand car owners, so it was beyond reproach that manufacturers only guaranteed the first generation of car owners. But if the car has an accident, it is a bit difficult not to enjoy three packs. Originally, if an accident broke the battery, the motor was not guaranteed after it was broken, and the thickness was not enough. Finally, let's take a look at the maintenance costs. We know that for fuel vehicles, overhaul basically only needs a few thousand dollars or tens of thousands of dollars, while for electric vehicles, overhaul may not be so simple.
From the battery alone, most of the power batteries are now integrated battery packs. If part of it is broken, the entire battery pack needs to be replaced. That's not a few thousand dollars. Batteries cost almost 50% of a new car. Including maintenance man-hours, it costs almost tens of thousands of yuan. In addition, motors and electronic controllers are more expensive. At present, many electric vehicle manufacturers have installed a lot of electronic control devices in order to maintain technical secrets, which need to be unlocked to be repaired. Therefore, many ordinary repair shops are difficult to solve the fault of new energy vehicles.
Therefore, if it is not the first owner or an electric vehicle without accidents, to repair the motor electronic control maintenance, basically can only cut meat and feed it to 4S shops and manufacturers. At present, the use cycle of most domestic electric vehicles is still within five or six years, and there are few major failures and problems in electric vehicles during this period, but with the passage of time, there will be a large number of electric vehicles with an age of more than 10 years in the future. At this time, as the parts age, there may be many failures, and the after-sales service department of 4S stores and factories will be the final winners in the new energy market.
