The answer, of course, is yes. When individuals choose a variety of travel tools, the sensitivity to price costs will be very high, and the economic concept is expressed as a large price elasticity. Moreover, after so many years of popularization and development, consumers' understanding of electric vehicles has a comprehensive and new feeling. Electric vehicles are also maturing, charging time, short mileage, battery durability and other issues have been basically solved or are being quickly solved.
From the supply side analysis of production, the world's major auto giants are accelerating the transformation to electric vehicles. The more conservative Japanese car series has also begun to make great strides towards new energy vehicles. The global macro environment is very conducive to the development of electric vehicles and clean energy. The global carbon peak in 2030, carbon standards in 2060 at the latest, etc., the vigorous development of electric vehicles in various countries is the first option. The Yellow River of the Yangtze River will not flow backwards, and the development trend in the automotive field is mighty and unstoppable. Those who follow us prosper And those who oppose us perish!
A particular sudden factor is the ban on Russian crude oil exports between the United Kingdom and the United States, which has a greater impact on the United Kingdom than the United States. The main reason is that britain's energy dependence overseas is high, while the United States is low, especially less dependent on Russia. The data shows that the United States will only import crude oil from Russia in 2021 for 3% of its total imports. That said, the United States is one of the few countries that can help replace Russian energy exports in the medium term.
Biden has said he will continue his efforts to ease the pressure on U.S. households due to rising energy prices and reduce the U.S. dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels. The U.S. government has pledged to release more than 90 million barrels of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve this fiscal year. During the Trump administration, Trump declared that U.S. oil had achieved self-sufficiency.
I have noticed that while announcing the ban on the import of Russian energy, Biden has successively tweeted on Twitter, asking the government and enterprises to vigorously develop clean energy, completely get rid of polluting fossil energy, call on the people to buy new energy vehicles, and get rid of the pressure of rising oil prices to increase their own household expenditures. A U.S. government official has called on U.S. families to buy at least one electric car.
According to the current rise in market oil prices, the price of gasoline per gallon in the US market has risen to more than $4, and the people have complained bitterly. The next round of refined oil adjustment in the Chinese market is basically a nail in the coffin, which is likely to trigger the "ceiling price", and No. 95 gasoline will fully come to the "9 yuan" era. At this time, the first option is to buy an electric car.
Some media outlets have reported that high oil prices have not made electric vehicles popular. This conclusion is surprising! The real situation is that the theory that "new energy vehicles are not fragrant" is nonsense and completely unrealistic. Judging from the domestic situation, the new energy vehicle fire is not a day or two. As long as there is no problem with the eyes, look at the more and more green license plate cars on the street, taxis, online ride-hailing cars, buses are basically new energy vehicles, you know whether fire or not fire.
Recently, I went to the automobile market, and the electric vehicle sales office was crowded, several times that of the oil car store. From the perspective of the US market, individual families on social media such as Twitter are discussing the issue of buying electric vehicles, and they are envious of Musk as a big winner, and Tesla sales are hot. The U.S. government reminds consumers that the best way to circumvent rising oil prices is for a family to buy at least one electric car.
The reason why the Biden administration dared to ban the import of oil and other energy from Russia cannot be said to have forced the development of clean energy and accelerated the consideration of popularizing electric vehicles. This is also the reason why Tesla dared to raise the price of electric vehicles in the Chinese market and the US market a few days ago, mainly because of strong demand and hot sales.
I have said many times that I am preparing to change cars, of course, it is not an electric car. You can no longer burn your own money and pollute the public environment at the same time!
