Under the vigorous implementation of the new energy incentive policy, electric vehicles have become a new force in the automobile market, but many people think that electric vehicles have short mileage, subject to charging conditions, high-speed mileage has shrunk significantly, affected by temperature and other issues, indeed, the current electric vehicles are still restricted by the level of electric technology and it is difficult to achieve better convenience, but why are buses in many places replaced by electric?
According to my observation and judgment, the large-scale implementation of electric buses is mainly due to the following reasons:
1. Reduce exhaust emissions in urban areas
I think this is the most important reason for the popularity of electric buses, in the case of local governments that emphasize the control of urban pollution and reduce tailpipe emissions everywhere, electric vehicles have been favored by local governments because there is no tailpipe emissions.
2. The driving mileage of electric bus is fixed
The biggest difference between electric vehicles and electric buses is not the difference in mileage, the bus mileage may be longer per day, and the biggest difference is uncertainty, uncertainty makes ordinary users use electric vehicles to increase mileage anxiety. Electric bus is different from private cars, electric bus mileage is fixed, driving up to one or two hundred kilometers per day, completely within the mileage, even if the mileage is insufficient, you can also flexibly arrange charging time.
3. The cost of electric buses is low
For the bus company, profit maximization is the most important, and the bus has to travel a long mileage every day, under the long years, the bus company has so many buses, and it is a very large expense to use it for many years. Switching to an electric bus will undoubtedly save a lot of money.
4, electric buses have sufficient areas to place batteries
Family cars are subject to size, the space on the car is scarce, the position where the battery can be placed is only above the chassis, which also leads to the limited endurance of electric vehicles, and many people riding electric buses will find that there is a very thick area at the rear of the electric bus that is specially placed for batteries, such as BYD K9, the mileage reaches 250 kilometers under full electric conditions, the battery capacity of the whole vehicle is 200Ah, and the total power is 324kwh, which is 5-8 times that of ordinary household electric vehicles.
5. Special maintenance, convenient charging
For home electric vehicle owners, if there is no charging pile at home, you need to go everywhere to find charging piles, especially long-distance travel, which is particularly inconvenient, but electric buses are different, bus companies have built special charging stations, every night after receiving the car, it will be charged by a special person, and the next morning full of blood resurrection.
6. The manufacturer's warranty policy is different
Many people are reluctant to buy electric vehicles is worried about the life of the battery, and for such a large order of the bus, electric vehicle manufacturers will strive for it, so both sides will agree on the quality assurance policy of the battery, and it is likely to give a higher warranty policy than the family car, or give a very favorable battery replacement price, which is also difficult for ordinary car owners to enjoy.
In general, the use, mileage, charging conditions, and maintenance conditions of electric buses and family cars are completely different, and cannot be compared together, at this stage we still only recommend that southern users who have fixed parking spaces at home, commuting to work, charging piles, and already have a fuel vehicle at home buy electric vehicles.
