According to the latest news, at 24:00 on March 17, the sharp increase in oil prices was basically nailed down, and it is expected to rise by about 0.78-0.94 yuan per liter. According to the capacity of the general household car fuel tank of 50 liters, it will cost 40 yuan to fill a tank of No. 92 gasoline, and No. 95 gasoline may fully usher in the "9 yuan era".
Brent crude futures closed at $131.63 a barrel. The $130 oil price ceiling set at home has been reached, and the good news is that if crude oil prices rise again, domestic oil prices will not rise. But the bad news is that the high levels of domestic oil prices are likely to last no short time.
The current high oil price, so that many fuel car owners began to worry, this oil is really not able to add, go out can not drive without driving. Some netizens also posted heartfelt remarks, "Have you ever thought about it, filling a tank of oil can buy a bicycle, adding four tanks of oil can buy an electric car."
It also made many electric car owners begin to have a sense of superiority, when I bought an electric car, you laughed at my charging trouble, there was mileage anxiety, and now I laugh at you for the expensive fuel. I drive an electric car when I want to drive it, and the electricity bill will not rise anyway.
So is now a good time to buy an electric car? Fuel vehicle owners, should they make up their minds, long pain is not as good as short pain, simply change the pure electric model? Let's analyze a wave.
1. Will oil prices rise?
According to the ceiling mechanism of continental oil prices, when the international oil price is below $40 and above $130, the domestic oil price is no longer adjusted. According to the current international oil prices, the oil price after the rise on the 17th has approached the ceiling, that is to say, it cannot rise again, but it is difficult for oil prices to fall in the short term, because for well-known reasons, the price of international crude oil may be at a high level for a long time.
2. Is it cost-effective to buy an electric car now?
"Buy early and enjoy early, buy late with discounts", this "law" no longer applies to new energy vehicles, with the subsidy decline, chip shortage and raw material prices rise, electric vehicles have ushered in a wave of price increases, Tesla, Euler, BYD, Ean and other brands, have announced price increases, less than one or two thousand, more than one or two thousand, in the current situation, in fact, buy electric vehicles are not very cost-effective, because the raw materials of lithium batteries have risen, resulting in the price of electric vehicles rising.
3. How should ordinary consumers choose?
So as our ordinary consumers, in the face of such high oil prices, should we choose pure electric vehicles or fuel vehicles? In the end, it still depends on your car needs, if you do not have the high-frequency demand for long-distance travel, buying a car is the city transportation, the home can install charging piles, or you have a fuel car at home, want to buy another electric vehicle, it is more appropriate.
But if the above conditions are not met, I still recommend that you do not buy an electric car, because at this stage of the electric vehicle endurance anxiety problem, charging speed problem, low temperature attenuation problem, none of them are solved, in order to short-term high oil prices, spend more than 100,000 to buy an electric car, may not be a wise choice.
