I have to say that even my friends who drive hybrid cars around me have been complaining to me recently that the price of oil is too expensive to add fuel! This friend, who originally belonged to the insensitive group to gasoline prices, has recently been ready to consider changing to a non-oil-burning scooter, as long as there is no need to refuel, how good. This is the true story I have heard the most after three consecutive rises in oil prices.
I remember the summer of '04, when I pulled out two red soft coins from my wallet and almost filled the fuel tank of my car and drank it. Nearly 20 years later, the latest gasoline prices have reached a high level, and perhaps it is not too much to describe the sky-high price. This wave of gasoline price adjustment at 24:00 on March 17 directly pulled No. 95 gasoline into the 9 yuan era, and the price of No. 92 gasoline was also as high as 8.4-8.6 yuan / liter; in the Hainan region, where the oil price was the highest, the market price of No. 95 gasoline even exceeded the 10 yuan / liter mark.
At 24:00 on March 17, the domestic refined oil price adjustment window will open again. Recently, international oil prices have risen sharply, and analysts expect that domestic oil prices will rise accordingly, becoming the fifth rise in the year. According to Jinlian Chuang's calculations, the price of No. 92 gasoline and no. 92 diesel fuel will increase by 0.64 yuan and 0.70 yuan per liter, respectively. Taking an ordinary private car with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters as an example, filling a tank of fuel will cost about 32 yuan more than before.
Driving has become our daily habit, but the numbers bouncing on the fuel dispenser still always affect the driver's purse. Take out the calculator to calculate simply, the average box of gasoline costs forty-fifty yuan more, which is also my friend who drives an imported hybrid car is worried about the place, now it is not the turn of the "fuel saving driving cheats" This book appeared, and now more important to pay attention to is: car, or not to drive, oil, and not to add.
According to the calculation of each private car running 20,000 kilometers a year, the average fuel consumption is 10 liters /100 kilometers, so the cost of refueling alone will exceed 20,000 yuan a year. While the general family car is generally updated in about 6 years, we put aside the slow decline in power performance caused by vehicle maintenance and maintenance, and the fuel cost for 6 years is 120,000 yuan or more.
We do not talk about high-end pure electric vehicles that are priced at 400,000, 600,000 or even 800,000 at every turn, which is not the main consumption section of daily life cars, and take the price section that is more close to the people to make a simple comparison. About 300,000 yuan, a hot-selling B-class joint venture brand car, another word-of-mouth pure electric product with a range of more than 600 kilometers, the purchase and use costs will be quite different because of the soaring oil prices.
For fuel models, we chose the FAW-Volkswagen 2020 380TSI DSG flagship model, which has a high sales volume
Official guide price: 309,900
Pure electric model We choose the highly acclaimed ARCFOX Polar Fox Alpha S 2021 708S+
Official guide price: 281,900
Household charging pile electricity charges should currently be around 0.5-0.6 yuan a kilowatt hour of electricity, and oil costs have basic data on the above, and with the global oil price of high-frequency word changes, do not rule out the possibility of high opening in the near future. There is a huge gap in fuel costs, I think there is no need for me to break open and knead here to assume the goal calculation, each car owner needs to enter the gas station several times a month.
In addition, due to the innate setting of the fuel system, the engine, transmission, and chassis wear parts must be replaced and maintained during the service life. According to the calculation of the size of the maintenance frequency, the six-year maintenance cost of the fuel vehicle is basically about 20,000 yuan; and the maintenance cost of the pure electric vehicle is extremely cheap, and the later maintenance cost is a big expense.
In addition, the purchase tax of the purchase of vehicles, the car and ship tax is also pure electric vehicles and fuel vehicles also have a large difference, calculated at 300,000 yuan of car fare, the comprehensive price difference should be stable at more than 20,000 yuan. The basic cost is only scattered more than half, in response to the rise in oil prices, if you catch up with the replacement of old cars, or the need to buy a new car at home, at this juncture, a pure electric car is worth studying.
In many cities, there are also pure electric vehicle right-of-way preferential policies, such as Beijing fuel vehicles limited to 1 day a week, and this day time if you go out to work, talk about business, pick up and drop off babies, we are renting a car, taxi calculation will be more waste of their precious time.
Some time ago, we experienced the Polar Fox Alpha S, and the Polar Fox Alpha S also has a long-range version with a range of 708 kilometers, which deals with mileage anxiety and the actual use of the vehicle, which should be a more efficient solution.
The Alpha S is equipped with a highly integrated battery pack with an energy density of 194Wh/kg, which is 20% more charged than the industry average (160Wh/kg). On this basis, with the high-efficiency electric drive system, advanced thermal management technology, optimization of low-voltage power consumption management and other means, the efficiency of the electric drive system assembly > 93.5%, the cruising range increased by 7%, and the space utilization rate was increased by 15%.
Putting aside the trend of rising oil prices and the continuous improvement of the cost of using cars, the state has braked the development direction of the new energy industry, and the future development of automobiles to new energy is inevitable. The smart choice of a more "provincial" pure electric vehicle is not only the first choice for new car owners, but also the first choice for many urban replacement cars.
