Pay attention to and often read the tram lab punch card to think about new energy insights
When buying a new energy vehicle, the most important thing is not to save money.
Written by: CH_ Chen Han
In recent times, affected by the international situation, domestic oil prices have soared. Last night, The country opened a new round of oil price adjustment window, domestic gasoline and diesel prices per ton increased by 750 yuan and 720 yuan respectively, No. 92 gasoline was raised by an average of 0.59 yuan per liter, No. 95 gasoline was raised by an average of 0.62 yuan per liter, and No. 0 diesel was raised by an average of 0.62 yuan per liter. According to the estimation of 50L fuel tank, filling a tank of No. 92 gasoline will cost an additional 29.5 yuan.
The impact of this round of oil price increases is still considerable, because of the rise in oil prices, many people pile up in advance to refuel, resulting in long queues at gas stations and even blocking urban roads.
Because of the rise in oil prices, there have been various paragraphs on the Internet, such as adding oil and picking up the oil pipe to shake the oil inside (it is actually useless, please do not follow suit).
Because of the rise in oil prices, the number of people who want to change new energy vehicles has suddenly increased, and in recent times, many friends who have not been in touch for a long time have begun to consult me about the purchase/replacement of new energy vehicles.
So, because the oil price is too expensive, is it worth replacing a new energy vehicle?
01
Does buying a new energy vehicle really save money?
First of all, before considering the purchase of new energy vehicles, it must be clear that not all new energy vehicles can save money.
Although we all know that new energy vehicles are exempted from purchase tax when purchased, and in some limited cities, the auction fee is exempted, the electricity is cheap and the maintenance is cheap when used, but if the purchase cost and residual value are considered comprehensively, there are many new energy vehicles that cannot save money in the 3-5 year use cycle.
If you are to save money to buy new energy vehicles, basically follow a principle:
"The lower the price of the car, the more you save, the more you drive, the more you save"
Buy a 30,000 or 40,000 yuan Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, how to drive it can not lose, because you simply can not find the same price, the same quality of fuel vehicles.
Driving 20,000 kilometers a year and buying a BYD Dolphin is definitely cheaper than buying a Toyota Corolla. Even if the dolphin is charged according to 13kWh/100km, the public charging pile is 1 yuan /kWh, and the electricity cost of 20,000 kilometers is only 2600 yuan (if the trough of the household charging pile is charged, it only needs less than 1000 yuan); the Corolla is calculated by 6L/100km fuel consumption, 92 gasoline 8 yuan / L, and the 20,000 km fuel cost is 9600 yuan. Even if the difference between purchase tax and maintenance costs is not taken into account, the difference between photoelectric costs and fuel costs in one year exceeds 7,000 yuan.
Driving 40,000 kilometers a year, buying a Tesla Model 3 can also save money than buying the Audi A4L/BMW 3 Series at the same price, and you can also get a fresher and smarter experience.
However, if your car purchase budget exceeds 300,000, or you can't even drive 10,000 kilometers a year, then don't use saving money as a reason when considering new energy vehicles.
02
Plug in or pure electricity, which saves money?
In terms of pure electric and plug-in hybrid options, pure electric vehicles are relatively more economical.
On the one hand, pure electric vehicles have cheaper choices, lower entry thresholds, and there is no plug-in hybrid vehicle below 100,000; on the other hand, the use cost of pure electric vehicles is lower, plug-in hybrid vehicles must inevitably refuel, and there are engine / range extender maintenance costs, at present, pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles The overall retention rate difference is not large.
If there are fixed and convenient charging conditions, such as charging piles at home, the company or charging piles within a short walking distance nearby, and the long-distance running of more than 400km a year (except for the time-relaxed self-driving tour) is not more than 4 times, the choice of pure electric vehicles is both money-saving and better, there is no engine vibration and noise, the structure is simpler, and the maintenance is more worry-free.
If the above conditions are met, there is no need to worry that the electric car cannot be used as the only car in the family, because it is enough to meet more than 99% of your daily travel needs. If you have concerns about battery life, choose a model with a lifetime warranty of Sandyo.
Including me, many people think of keeping the fuel car at home for emergency before buying an electric car, but in fact, after buying an electric car, the fuel car at home will eat ash for a long time, and finally have to sell. In order to meet the demand of less than 1%, it is indeed not worth spending nearly 10,000 yuan more on insurance, parking, and maintenance costs every year.
However, if these conditions mentioned earlier are not met, it is recommended not to buy pure electric vehicles, choose a plug-in hybrid vehicle that is also fuel-efficient, compared to buying pure fuel vehicles, you can also save certain usage costs.
When choosing a plug-in hybrid vehicle, in addition to paying attention to the fuel consumption in the event of power loss, it is also necessary to pay attention to the mileage of pure electricity and the maintenance cost of the hybrid system.
Convenient charging conditions, try to choose a plug-in hybrid vehicle with a longer pure electric mileage, daily transportation and more electricity, experience improvement, and cost reduction.
Try to avoid models with multi-gear transmissions, single-speed, two-speed transmissions / reducers although it does not sound advanced, but the structure is simple, not easy to break, broken maintenance costs are also low, as long as the loss of electricity and fuel consumption is almost the same, it is definitely more worry-free to use.

When buying a new energy vehicle, the most important thing is not to save money
Although many new people who pay attention to new energy vehicles are most concerned about saving money, after all, no one's money is blown by the wind, but in my opinion, when buying new energy vehicles, especially when buying new energy vehicles with a price of more than 100,000 yuan, the most important thing to pay attention to is not to save money, but to be smart.
The choice of BYD Dolphin and Toyota Corolla mentioned earlier, the price of the two cars is similar, if from the perspective of model positioning, dolphin will be lower, mechanical quality, space will be worse, to the traditional car buying ideas, only look at the hardware, dolphin even if the cost of use is lower is not worth it.
But if you drive both cars for a week, you'll see where dolphins are worth. Not to mention the same price, the configuration of the dolphin is much higher than the Corolla, which is the consistent advantage of the independent brand fuel vehicle, just say that the experience brought by smart + electric, dolphin's intelligent car machine, remote control, mobile phone remote control, external discharge, can provide better convenience of use, broaden the use of scenarios.
If the car is used as a mobile living space, not just a simple means of transportation, the same price, the intelligent experience that Dolphin can provide is far beyond Corolla, and it is also completely able to make up for the lack of mechanical quality.
And for those users who can install charging piles at home, the purchase of new energy vehicles can also save a lot of time for replenishment, every day at home to plug in the gun, every day is full power departure, power is more convenient than refueling is really true.
This is also the reason why so many people now buy luxury new energy vehicles priced at more than 300,000 yuan, at this price, no one will really give up the fuel vehicle to save that little fuel money and choose new energy vehicles, more for a fresher and more intelligent car experience.
So, in summary, if you are just trying to save money, the cheaper the new energy vehicle you buy, the better, and the more you drive, the better. When buying a new energy vehicle of more than 100,000 yuan, we should pay more attention to its intelligence, and intelligence is the key to determining the car experience in this era.
