BYD and Tesla, one is the "bellwether" of domestic new energy vehicles, and the other is the "leading enterprise" of the US electric vehicle market, often choosing which brand has become a difficult problem for consumers. If you want to buy a pure electric medium-sized SUV with a budget of about 300,000, you can choose a BYD Tang EV with 7 large seats, or you can afford to buy a Tesla Model Y with a leading level of intelligence. However, in general, the choice of 300,000 yuan of pure electric SUVs, in addition to being able to get a better space experience, driving pleasure, after buying a car, the cost of car maintenance is also a major advantage of them as an electric vehicle. So, compared with model Y and Tang EV, who will save more money by raising a car?

Insurance costs

As early as the release of new energy vehicle insurance, Tesla premiums "soared 80%" on the Internet, but from our actual survey of the situation, Tesla's premium increase is not so exaggerated, take the Model Y's hot-selling model "2022 rear-wheel drive version", now after buying 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory insurance, the first year of insurance costs are about 6893 yuan, mainly the price of car damage insurance reached about 3743 yuan, It was about 300 yuan higher than before. In the case of no insurance for the vehicle, according to the standard premium of 20% off the second year and 30% off in the third year, the insurance cost of Model Y for three years is about 17233 yuan, and the average annual cost is almost 5744 yuan.

Of course, bydir Tang EV premiums are also affected by the new insurance policy, in order to better compare premiums, we chose to be close to the Model Y price of Tang EV top model "2021 four-wheel drive high-performance version of the creation of the flagship" for investigation, the same purchase of three basic insurance types, Tang EV's first year's premium is about 7034 yuan, after calculating the discount, Tang EV's three-year premium needs a total of 17585 yuan, which is about 5862 yuan per year, which is obviously more than Model The premium of Y is more than 100 yuan. Of course, the insurance cost is related to the price of the car, we have chosen BYD top model, which is higher than tesla's entry-level version of the price, which makes its premium more expensive than Tesla.

Maintenance costs

The maintenance of BYD Tang EV and Tesla Model Y is relatively simple, the maintenance interval of Tang EV is 12,000 kilometers or 12 months, and the Model Y is basically 20,000 kilometers of maintenance.

According to the family car three years to drive 60,000 kilometers for a large maintenance cycle, that in these three years, in addition to the necessary routine inspection of each maintenance, Tang EV every 12,000 kilometers need to replace the air conditioning filter, and when the mileage reaches 48,000 kilometers, but also pay attention to the replacement of brake oil, gear oil and other accessories. In addition, in addition to the labor cost of about 300 yuan per inspection, the replacement price of other accessories also needs to range from 50 yuan to 180 yuan. After three years, the total maintenance cost of BYD Tang EV is almost 2830 yuan, an average of about 943 yuan per year.

The Tesla Model Y has a longer maintenance cycle, and it only takes 3 maintenance times in three years. Model Y is divided into small maintenance and large maintenance alternately, of which small maintenance is mainly for the replacement of air conditioning filters, the cost is about 382 yuan, and large maintenance is on the basis of small maintenance, but also to replace the brake oil and the three electricity of the vehicle to check, the cost of 1757 yuan. Then the total maintenance cost of Model Y year is 2521 yuan, which is evenly shared, and the annual expenditure on maintenance is almost 840 yuan, which is more than 100 yuan saved by BYD.

Electricity

This top-of-the-top model of BYD Tang EV, NEDC pure electric endurance can reach up to 505 kilometers, compared with the 545 kilometers endurance of Tesla Model Y CLTC, The endurance of Tang EV is slightly weaker. Generally choose electric vehicles are also for urban commuting, so most people will use their own charging piles at home to charge, the current price of household electricity is 0.56 yuan / kWh. According to the user feedback information we surveyed, in fact, the power consumption of Tang EV is almost 15kWh/100km, while the 100 km power consumption of Model Y is about 14kWh, which is more power-saving than Tang EV.

According to the mileage that the family car can drive 20,000 kilometers a year, the electricity bill of the Model Y and the Tang EV in a year is 1568 yuan and 1680 yuan respectively, the difference is not very large, only about 112 yuan. However, even if you want to go to the outside charging pile for charging, Tesla will also give away a free charging quota of 400kWh every year, which is more economical than Tang EV.

summary

By adding up the insurance cost, maintenance cost and electricity cost, we conclude that the tesla Model Y and BYD Tang EV have a yearly car maintenance cost of 8152 yuan and 8485 yuan, respectively. It can be seen that Tesla Model Y is more economical to raise, can be cheaper than 300 yuan per year, specifically, Model Y can almost save 100 yuan in insurance, maintenance and electricity costs, mainly because of its long maintenance cycle, and power consumption is not high. However, these money is not much in front of the price of the two cars of about 300,000 yuan, and it has basically no impact on the owner.
