Public Network poster news reporter Du Hongxiao Zhao Pengcheng reported from Jinan
Recently, the China Automobile Dealers Association released the "January 2022 China Automobile Retention Rate Report". According to the report, compared with last year, the price of used cars reached a new high in January this year, of which the retention rate of new energy vehicles increased significantly.
On February 18, the reporter came to the second-hand car trading market in Jinan, Shandong Province, and found that there were very few new energy second-hand cars in the whole trading market, and at the same time, the reporter found that in the second-hand new energy vehicles, the price of some vehicles even exceeded that of new cars.
Used car prices reached a new high
With the extension of the delivery cycle of the new car market, the trend of second-hand car price increases is still continuing. In the same car series, the price of second-hand cars has a lot to do with the annual model, so consumers can also indirectly judge the age of the car from the configuration and annual differences of the vehicle. After 2022, although the age of the vehicle increases by one year, the configuration of the vehicle corresponding to the annual model is still an important factor affecting the price. Rising used car prices aren't necessarily good news. Judging from the amount of vehicles in this month, the decline in vehicle sources may also be related to prices.
The retention rate of used cars at all levels has generally increased, and there are more imported cars in medium and large SUVs, which are not the mainstream of the second-hand market.
In the Jixi second-hand car market, the reporter saw that many customers came to see the car, and Mr. Zhang, a citizen, told reporters that he had come to see the car years ago, and felt that the price of the second-hand car was higher than that of the year before, "I want to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a joint venture car, and I have not seen a more suitable one at present." ”
New energy used cars are more expensive than new cars?
In the subsidy standards for new energy vehicles, technical indicators are also stipulated. The battery energy density, energy consumption level, mileage and other indicators of used cars are currently close to the performance of new cars, which is the result of the stability of industry standards. In addition, new energy used cars are currently generally shorter in age, within three years, so the performance is closer to that of new cars.
A new energy used car shop clerk in the Jixi used car market told reporters that after Tesla's three consecutive increases last year, many car owners who ordered cars before the price increase rose by several thousand yuan in a few months.
"The condition of the car, the degree of use, the size of the accident, the maintenance record, etc., should be looked at when the car is received." When the oil car is collected, it depends on the engine and gearbox, but the tram needs to look at the motor battery. But Tesla has an 8-year, 160,000-kilometer warranty in this regard, so Tesla is very valuable. The clerk said.
According to the report, in the retention rate of new energy used cars (three-year vehicles), the retention rate of plug-in hybrid used cars increased from 52.1% to 61.5%, and pure electric used cars rose from 42.9% to 49.5%. Among them, the one-year retention rate of the cayenne plug-in hybrid model is as high as 99.1%, and the retention rate of the three-year vehicle is 90.9%, which is 24.4% higher than the second place. The increase in the ownership of new energy vehicles and the increase in market recognition are macro factors in the price increase of new energy used cars.
In September last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other five ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Management Measures for the Cascade Utilization of New Energy Vehicle Power Batteries" to solve problems such as efficient battery recycling and rapid assessment of health status. In November last year, the General Office of the State Council issued the "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)", which pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the research and development of power battery residual energy detection, residual value assessment, restructuring and utilization, safety management and other technologies. At present, a number of new energy vehicle companies are also exploring new models to improve the retention rate of new energy vehicles. Not only that, in July last year, the China Automobile Dealers Association issued the first industry-wide "Technical Specifications for the Identification and Evaluation of Used Pure Electric Passenger Vehicles" in China, starting from the rules to solve the pain points of the industry. At present, there are still some sticking points in the new energy used car market, but the overall trend has developed in a good direction.
