The domestic new energy vehicle market has developed rapidly, and major automobile brands have launched strong pure electric SUV products, and the market competition has begun to be fierce for a time. Different from domestic car manufacturers, MG as a brand born from the United Kingdom, on the road of pure electric vehicle development, there are multiple choices, in 2019 after the release of MG EZS pure electric vehicle model in the domestic market, soon this product was synchronized to the overseas market. After several years of development, mg EZS pure electric sales in China are not high, but overseas performance is good, and even ushered in a facelift in 2021. So as a global model, what is the cost of the MG EZS pure electric car? Next, we will investigate the three aspects of MG EZS pure electric maintenance costs, insurance costs and electricity costs.
Insurance costs
According to our survey, MG EZS pure electric "2019 E-Pro version" bought the most people, the best sales, the main reason is that this car as the full series of top-end models, compared to the low-end models in terms of safety, technology, practical configuration and other aspects are more complete, especially 6 airbags, tire pressure display, seat heating, navigation, voice control, Internet of Vehicles, etc. are exclusive to the top model, compared to the price of 149,800 yuan, and there is not much higher than the middle and low configuration, so the cost performance is also higher. We used this car as a survey model.
After the introduction of new energy vehicle exclusive insurance, the amount of OWNERSHIP IS RELATIVELY SMALL MG EZS PURE ELECTRIC, COMMERCIAL INSURANCE HAS HARDLY CHANGED COMPARED TO BEFORE, AFTER THE PURCHASE OF 3 MILLION THREE LIABILITIES, CAR DAMAGE INSURANCE, TRAFFIC INSURANCE, THE FIRST YEAR PREMIUM IS ABOUT 5990 YUAN, IF THERE IS NO ACCIDENT IN THE LATER CAR PROCESS, THE PREMIUM WILL BE REDUCED, WE TAKE THE STANDARD PREMIUM 20% OFF IN THE SECOND YEAR, THE THIRD YEAR 20% OFF, THE TOTAL COST OF MG EZS PURE ELECTRIC INSURANCE, ABOUT 14975 YUAN, AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT 4992 YUAN PER YEAR.
Maintenance cost survey
According to the maintenance manual, the first warranty time of MG EZS pure electric is 3000km or 3 months, the maintenance items are routine inspections, and the maintenance interval after that is 10000km or 6 months. In terms of accessory replacement cycle and price: the air conditioning filter element is replaced every 20,000km at a price of 60 yuan; the brake fluid is replaced every 40,000km at a price of 78 yuan; the antifreeze and gear oil replacement cycle is 80,000km, and the price is 156 yuan and 756 yuan, respectively. In addition, each maintenance requires a routine inspection fee of 480 yuan, which is somewhat expensive.
We take the general family driving 60000km for three years as the car cycle, calculate the total cost of pure electric maintenance of MG EZS, which requires about 4178 yuan, of which the price of small maintenance (routine inspection fee) is 480 yuan. It can be seen that MG EZS pure electric as a pure electric SUV, the maintenance price is somewhat expensive, the total cost of three years of maintenance is almost doubled with other models of the same level, the main reason is that the small maintenance of 480 yuan (routine inspection fee) is really high, and even more than a lot of fuel vehicles, it is difficult to understand.
Electricity Bill Survey
MG EZS pure electric NEDC has a range of 335km, which although it seems to be relatively short now, it is the mainstream level in 2019. According to our survey, its actual 100 km electricity consumption is about 13.9 kWh, we calculate mg EZS pure electric electricity costs based on the current household electricity consumption of about 0.56 yuan / kWh, it takes 778 yuan to drive 10,000 km per year, and the electricity cost of 60,000 km for three years is 4670 yuan, and the average monthly electricity bill is about 130 yuan. Compared with other pure electric SUVs of the same class, mg EZS pure electric power consumption of 100 kilometers is relatively good, but because the electricity bill itself is not expensive, it can not save too much money.
epilogue:
We add up the insurance cost, maintenance cost and electricity cost, and we can calculate that the cost of the MG EZS pure electric vehicle driving 60,000km for three years is about 23,823 yuan, with an average annual cost of about 7,941 yuan and an average of about 662 yuan per month. In general, the cost of MG EZS pure electric total maintenance car is not high, and it is average in the same level of pure electric SUVs, but the maintenance price is somewhat surprising, especially the small maintenance cost of 480 yuan, which is more expensive than some fuel vehicles, so this item alone makes the cost of MG EZS pure electric three-year car expensive by nearly 2,000 yuan. But fortunately, MG EZS pure electric electricity and insurance costs are not high, especially the electricity bill is only about 130 yuan per month, so the car maintenance will not increase too much burden.
