Some people ask: Why do people who bought hybrid cars three years ago regret it? As the first generation of Tang car owners, old Tang has been driving for more than four years and almost five years now, and there is no regret, only soberness. If you have to regret it, there are only three reasons, but none of them are: regret not buying a fuel car. From the perspective of the technical practicality of the vehicle,
Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) > range extender (REEV) > oil-electric hybrid (HEV) > fuel vehicles.
First, regret because the battery does not have a lifetime warranty
All new energy vehicles, including pure electricity, plug-in hybrid, extender range, hydrogen energy, but also include the blue brand of HEV hybrid, no matter what brand, no matter which country, battery (at least the battery cell) lifetime warranty, is the premise of buying it! Otherwise, buying a car is cool for a while, and when the battery is over-guaranteed, when it is changed, it is really going to cry.
This sentence, the fans of fuel vehicles are often used to mock the hybrid owners - don't look at the current fuel saving, and when the battery is replaced, all of them are handed over at one time. It sounds a little sour, but it's true. If there is no warranty, the battery of pure trams is as high as more than 100,000, and the plug-in hybrid is also tens of thousands, and ordinary consumers really can't afford it.
All the power batteries of pure electric and hybrid models will definitely decay, and the endurance is inevitable that the endurance is getting shorter and shorter, and the process is irreversible! Therefore, the battery lifetime warranty is a must for consumers! If you don't know this, no matter what car you buy, as long as you keep driving, sooner or later there will be regrets that day.
Take Toyota's Corolla as an example, because it is a weak mix, the battery pack is very small, only about 1.4 degrees of electricity. The battery warranty is 8 years and 200,000 kilometers (not all cars are like this, the minimum is 8 years 120,000 kilometers), and the problem is not big during the warranty period, but once the warranty is issued, the cost of replacing the battery is more than 20,000 in China (it is said that 23,000), and the price in Japan is 135,000 yen, equivalent to more than 8,000.
The price of more than 20,000 does not seem to be unaffordable, but the opposite Toyota Ralink, there is a battery worry-free plan, and the battery can be guaranteed for life. You and your neighbor bought a car in the same year, you paid for 23,000 batteries out of your own pocket, people didn't take a penny, do you regret it?
The same is true for various new energy models, the larger the battery pack, the more expensive it is. The cost of the battery is decreasing, but the cost price has nothing to do with you, such as Toyota, 1.4 kWh of batteries will be more than 20,000, plug and mix to 14 kWh of electricity, pure electric models to 80 kWh of electricity, you calculate how much money you need. There have been similar cases, accidents, 4S shop offers, the cost of replacing the battery is even higher than the residual value of the whole vehicle. Perhaps the cost of electric vehicle batteries is getting lower and lower, but manufacturers have a monopoly position. Battery this thing high pressure flammable, there is no disassembly parts, manufacturers say how much money is how much money. Manufacturers can be cheaper - but how thick can manufacturers who do not give you a lifetime warranty be?
Here to remind everyone, it is also an appeal: new energy vehicles (including HEV hybrid), no battery (battery cell) lifetime warranty can not be bought! It is hoped that consumers can work together to force car companies to take more responsibility. If everyone chooses the model of battery lifetime insurance to buy, then the rest of the manufacturers will also follow up, if you do not understand, or hold an attitude of indifference, then the car companies that promise lifetime warranty will also regress.
Second, regret not buying plug-in hybrid
As mentioned earlier, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) > range extender (REEV) > oil-electric hybrid (HEV) > fuel vehicles. I regret buying oil-electric hybrid, and I can only say that I regret not buying a higher level of plug-in hybrid.
Let's make a comparison with the representative model with a relatively close price, HEV hybrid is Toyota Ralink, it is indeed more representative of the Corolla twin engine, but because the battery is not a lifetime warranty, it is directly eliminated. The plug-in hybrid is bydy Qin PLUS DM-i, the price difference between the two is not much, both are compact sedans.
Body: Toyota Ralink: 4640X1780X1455, wheelbase 2700.
Qin PLUS DM-i: 4765X1837X1495, wheelbase 2718. Qin PLUS DM-i won.
Price: Leiling Double Engine starts at 133,800, Qin PLUS DM-i starts at 105,800. Not to mention the configuration, the lowest and lower Leiling dual engines do not even have radar and reversing images, plastic steering wheel + fabric seats, proper version. And Qin PLUS DM-i, the minimum match is also enough, can reach the level of high matching in Leiling.
Power: Leiling Dual Engine Zero Hundred accelerates by 10.76 seconds, while Qin PLUS DM-i has a short endurance of 7.9S and a long endurance of 7.3S. The gap is not a star and a half.
Fuel consumption: The NEDC fuel consumption of Leiling Dual Engine is 4L, while Qin PLUS DM-i can still open 3.8L of fuel consumption even in the state of power loss. Daily charging is zero fuel consumption. If the household electricity is charged, the cost of six or seven yuan per 100 kilometers corresponds to gasoline, which is similar to the cost of 1L fuel consumption.
The price is 30,000 expensive, the power is weak, the configuration is low, and the fuel consumption is not advantageous. If you are the owner of The Leiling Dual Engine, after comparing the Qin PLUS DM-i, will you regret it? I said that plug-in hybrid is far better than HEV hybrid, the price of Ralink dual engine and Ralink dual engine E+ can also be reflected, the hybrid version of the Leiling dual engine starting price of 133,800, and the plug-in hybrid version of the Leiling dual engine E + starting price of 170,800.
Third, regret buying early
I personally feel that as a hybrid owner, watching the rapid development of hybrid technology, there will indeed be a feeling of "buying early". I started with a generation of Tang, which belongs to the product of the DM2.0 era. In fact, even if the car is put into the present, the technology is still not backward. Zero hundred acceleration 4.9S, three-engine four-wheel drive, remote control driving remote air conditioner, support 3500W external discharge. For example, the plug-and-mix version of Veranda, which was only listed this year, advertised a 100-kilometer acceleration of 5.9S, supporting 1000W external discharge...
However, if you have to say regrets, looking at the new Tang DM, Han DM, we old owners will still be hungry. Clairvoyant function, sentry mode, 220V power supply in the car... If it wasn't for the daughter-in-law's obstruction, I really got into Han DM last year.
If you think about it, if you don't regret it, it's just these three points. I also read the answers of others, most of them were in response to the question, unrealistic. For now, buying plug-in hybrids is the best option, whether you have charging conditions or not, and whether your city is limited or not. Contrary to the conclusion of the problem:
Three years later, the people who now buy fuel vehicles will regret it.
One would have to say that intermingling is a transitional technique – so to speak. But be clear, where is the transition from? From fuel to pure electricity? If that's the case, then fuel is the technology that is about to be phased out. And why does pure electricity need to transition? Because the current pure electricity is not yet mature, the current pure electricity is immature technology. The technology that truly belongs to the future has not yet arrived.
So, if you buy a car now, do you choose the technology that is eliminated, or the technology that is immature? Speaking of transitional technology, this transition period is bound to be longer than your car cycle, that is to say, for now, plugging and mixing is the best choice!
The aforementioned Qin PLUS DM-i is a self-proclaimed subversive of fuel sedans. It does have such strength, and the Leiling dual engine comparison is a total victory, and the same price of the compact fuel sedan, is not the same as the full crushing? The same 100,000 yuan, people's fuel consumption is 3.8L, you are 7.6L, people's zero hundred accelerate 7.9S, you are 10 seconds away. People can get on the green card, in theory, it will not be affected by the emission policy, and you are the sixth country, in the future, the seventh and eighth countries will come out, and the fuel vehicle must be the first to not let go on the road.
Some people will definitely raise the question of the retention rate, which is actually a false proposition. Now the fuel car is more valuable, which does not mean that the fuel car is more valuable when you sell the car. At present, the new energy does not maintain its value on the basis that the car dealers do not understand and the consumers do not recognize. With the improvement of consumer awareness, the retention rate of plug-in hybrid has now been significantly improved. I am a Tang car owner, so I am also more concerned about Tang's performance in the second-hand market. Compared with last year, the mixed Tang of about 15 years, last year's price of 70,000, 80,000 abounded, and this year, the year is longer than a year, the price has risen, there is no major accident of the car, there is rarely less than 90,000.
On the other hand, the price of used cars depends on the price of the car dealer. Not for anyone, the entire industry, the quality and knowledge level of second-hand car dealers are not high as a whole, do not understand new energy technology, and dare not easily start. Therefore, new energy used cars cannot be sold at a price. In addition, consumer awareness is also limited and they buy less. Even if there is a purchase, the car dealer does not have a car in his hand, which is a bad word for various new energy sources, thus forming a vicious circle. This situation, with the improvement of consumer awareness, has improved significantly.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be driven by pure electricity in urban areas, and when pure trams are used, the hybrid mileage is very small. The motor does not have wear problems, the battery life warranty, so the engine life will be longer. Fuel vehicles are a technology that will inevitably be eliminated, and the second-hand market will inevitably be reflected. At that time, the fuel vehicle will not maintain its value, and even no one will want it at all. Sooner or later, the earliest, may appear within three years, we will wait and see.
