The recent worry of car owners is definitely the rise in oil prices, on March 10, oil prices ushered in an increase, No. 92 gasoline broke through the 8 yuan mark, and after no. 17, No. 95 gasoline will also break through 9 yuan, No. 98 is a double digit. For most car owners, a sharp rise in oil prices is definitely a big deal, after all, it's about the savings in their pockets. Not only that, the rise in oil prices even made the editor-in-chief of the car out of the "92 full soul loose legs soft, 95 full of bankruptcy, 98 full of three generations of repayment" paragraph.
In the context of the sharp increase in travel costs, many car owners have said that their wallets "can't afford to hurt", preferring to take public transportation or ride-hailing instead of the original self-driving travel mode. At the same time, there are also friends on the Internet complaining, why did we not enjoy low oil prices when the price of crude oil became negative in the past two years, and now the price increase requires us to pay for it?
First of all, the first clear point is that our country's oil resource reserves are not high, accounting for only 2% of the world, and the cost of extraction is also very high, so it is more cost-effective to import oil when weighing the interests. Secondly, in industrial society, oil is not only limited to automobile energy, but also needs to be used in various production activities, so the demand is very large. In addition, "crude oil" and "oil" are two concepts, although only a word difference, but not exactly the same substance. After the domestic import of "crude oil" from overseas, it becomes the oil we use after various refining and processing, and the transportation and refining in it also requires costs.
In addition, the international crude oil price increase is also caused by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Russia just happens to be a large crude oil exporter, now the international situation is chaotic, naturally will reduce exports, when the supply is short of demand, the price will naturally rise.
The rapid rise in oil prices has made many friends who hold coins to buy fall into entanglement, is it the right choice to start an electric car now?
I have to admit that the travel cost of electric vehicles is indeed several times lower than that of traditional fuel vehicles, and it only costs dozens of yuan to charge a single charge, which is several times lower than that of gasoline vehicles, which is why online ride-hailing cars are all new energy vehicles.
Although electric vehicles can effectively reduce travel costs, there are still many inconveniences. First of all, the clichéd problem of charging difficulties, if you are in a first- and second-tier city, it is fine, and the infrastructure is sufficient to be able to do as you please. However, some friends living in third-tier cities, first, the number of charging piles is relatively small, and second, there may be bad piles, and charging a battery may require a long wait. Therefore, my suggestion is that if you have a private parking space at home and have the conditions to install charging piles, you can boldly start an electric car, which can not only reduce the cost of using the car, but also provide a more comfortable travel experience.
Secondly, with the growth of the year of use, the increase of driving mileage, the maximum capacity of the battery will gradually decrease, originally can run 400 kilometers, after a few years can only run 350 kilometers, the impact on the use experience is still relatively large. In addition, there is the problem of retention rate, because the iteration speed of electric vehicle update is very fast, basically one year is different from one year, so the depreciation rate of second-hand cars is much higher than that of fuel vehicles.
summary
On the whole, the rise in gasoline prices is caused by many aspects, and it is useless for us to complain, after all, this is already a necessity of life, and it should be added or added. I think that as the situation in Russia and Ukraine stabilizes in the future, the price of international crude oil will also fall downward. There is no need to be overly nervous.
