The electric vehicle market is gradually strengthening, more and more people are buying electric vehicles, and the topic of who saves money on electric vehicles and fuel vehicles has also been debated.
Based on this, EV car life and experts in the field of second-hand cars, Wang Meng (used car small fat), jointly launched a new column based on the comprehensive calculation of daily car cost + second-hand car use depreciation cost, "Buy a car white bone essence, do not spend unjust money".
Let's really see what the comprehensive cost of using the vehicle is.
Responsible editor: EV Car Life Wang Shuaiqi
With the recent sharp rise in oil prices, many people will be more under pressure on travel costs, and it will cost about 32 yuan more to fill a tank of oil, so the advantages of "low cost" of electric vehicles have also been revealed.
Indeed, a few days ago, we also filmed a phase of affordable electric vehicle recommendations that are not expensive, and even if these models are discounted, they still have advantages over the cost of fuel vehicles.
But what if it's a mid-to-high-end electric car? Cost and fuel vehicles in the end who has more advantages, must put a question mark. After all, in addition to the cost of daily use of the car, the loss rate of the vehicle can not be ignored, and even said that the biggest point of the use of many vehicles is the depreciation cost of the vehicle, the fuel consumption cost of some vehicles relative to the depreciation of second-hand cars, that may be the cost of drizzle!
The model we have selected this time is also the representative of two mid-to-high-end models, bmw 3 series and Tesla Model 3.
Tesla Model 3 needless to say, even if the service reputation is bad to explode, but the sales are still very high, is talked about by countless people; BMW 3 series is also a representative of this level, many young people's Dream Car, a new generation of "forced three treasures".
Many people will also use these two cars as an alternative before buying a car, and in addition to the different forms of energy, the two cars also have a high degree of similarity in price and positioning. In terms of cost accounting, we also continue to use 60,000 kilometers for 3 years as a standard for conventional vehicles (standardized and equivalent use status comparison).
The cost of daily use of the car, in addition to the premium, the Model 3 wins across the board!
Let's first talk about the very intuitive cost of using a car, after all, this part is to continue to pay money after buying a car. As a fuel vehicle BMW 3 Series, in this part compared to the Model 3 will have a relatively strong disadvantage, as for the cost difference, let's analyze it in detail.
First, let's talk about the BMW 3 Series, we take the best-selling BMW 325 as an example:
In the normal and good use of the BMW 3 Series in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers, the minimum maintenance price required is 14835 yuan, and the small maintenance price is 1065 yuan.
In terms of premiums, taking the 325i M sports suit priced at 312,300 yuan as an example, in the case of 1 million yuan of the three, the premium is about 7391 yuan, and the total cost for 3 years is about 18476 yuan (in the case of no insurance, the next year is calculated by 20% discount, and the third year is calculated by 30% discount).
In terms of fuel consumption, the car's NEDC fuel consumption is 6.2L/100km, and the average fuel consumption of the owner's reputation is 8.3L/100km, which is at a medium level in medium-sized cars. Taking the Beijing oil price on the date of writing as an example, the No. 95 gasoline is 9.21 yuan / liter, and the fuel cost of 60,000 kilometers in the 3 years of the BMW 3 Series is about 45,866 yuan, and the average annual fuel cost is about 15,289 yuan.
Taken together, the cost of 60,000 kilometers in 3 years of the BMW 3 Series is about 79,177 yuan, the average annual cost is about 26,392 yuan, and the average kilometer is about 1.3 yuan. Next, let's take a look at how much the electric vehicle, which has been called a low-cost electric vehicle, can reach in terms of car cost?
Due to the lack of engine, so the Model 3 does not need to replace the oil, machine filter, air filter, spark plug, etc., the price is more advantageous in the maintenance project, the 3-year maintenance cost is only 4776 yuan, less than one-third of the BMW 3 Series.
However, the model 3 man-hour cost is a bit expensive, which still has to be complained about. (If you pay for it yourself, it's expensive to go)
Some time ago, the new energy vehicle premium price increase event, Tesla Model 3 has also been greatly affected, at the same time, a few days ago, the model also raised prices. Taking the rear-wheel drive version priced at 290,988 yuan as an example, in the case of 1 million yuan of the three, the premium is about 14,902 yuan, and the total cost of 3 years is about 37,255 yuan (in the case of no insurance, the next year is calculated by 20% off, and the third year is calculated by 30% off), the premium of Model 3 has reached twice that of the 3 series, and the cost is very high.
In terms of energy consumption, the model 3's official 100 km power consumption is 13.2kWh, and the average power consumption of the owner's reputation is 19kWh/100km. Since Model 3 charging is divided into fast charge and slow charge, and both types of scenarios have more consumers, we calculate the price of fast charge and slow charge in a 50:50 ratio.
Tesla supercharger station price of 1.8 yuan / yuan, a lot of overcharge is built in the mall basement and other toll parking lots, the charge is 4-10 yuan, we charge a charge for one hour, parking charge 6 yuan standard to calculate; and many consumers who have slow charging piles at home, the electricity price is much cheaper, taking Beijing as an example, each kWh of electricity is 0.4883 yuan.
Below 30,000 kilometers, the Model 3 uses a supercharger to charge about 10,269 yuan, and the parking fee is about 600 yuan, a total of 10,869 yuan. At the same time, under 30,000 kilometers, the electricity cost of model 3 using slow charging piles is about 2783 yuan. Calculated, in the case of comprehensive fast charging and slow charging, the energy consumption cost of 60,000 kilometers in 3 years is about 13652 yuan, which has no small advantage over the 3 series.
Taken together, the cost of Tesla Model 3's 60,000 kilometers in 3 years is about 55,683 yuan, an average of about 18,561 yuan per year, and an average of about 0.93 yuan per kilometer.
In contrast, tesla Model 3's three-year car cost of 55683 yuan has more advantages than the BMW 3 Series's 79177 yuan, which can save more than 20,000 yuan.
But for these two cars, the gap is obviously not as large as we think, mainly because of the increase in the insurance price of Tesla Model 3. Without the Tesla Model 3 insurance price adjustment, then its car cost advantage will be more obvious.
Then after calculating the cost of the car, let's take a look at the second-hand car loss of the two cars in the case of 3 years, that is, after the sale of these two cars in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers, the "use discount" between the user's hand price and the taxable price of the year.
3 years 60,000 kilometers of used car damage, the current BMW 3 Series advantage is obvious!
In view of the loss of the two cars, xiao fat, as an authoritative expert in used cars, also gave an in-depth analysis.
Through the data, we can see that the 3-year 60,000-kilometer discount price of Tesla Model 3 is about 130094 yuan, while the BMW 3 Series advantage is obvious, only 81212 yuan.
Used car Xiao Fat said: Although the current domestic Tesla Model3 overall second-hand car retention rate is one of the best representatives of electric vehicles, but the impact of its brand premium and "hunger marketing" exists, the retention rate of the product itself is disconnected from the actual market, one is that the competitors have not yet formed a significant impact, the second is that most of the products have not yet entered the quality problem period, and the historical performance of the second-hand car feedback has not yet affected the real mind of customers.
On the other hand, Model S as a mature tesla product, its second-hand car retention rate from the early miserable to gradually mature to good performance, and now it has begun to gradually decline, after all, 500,000 + cars and about 300,000 new cars Retention rate is not the same, the more expensive the car, the lower the retention rate, the greater the depreciation loss.
In addition, the residual value depreciation of 3 years and 60,000 kilometers of electric vehicles is a big problem, after all, the 18-month product upgrade law caused by Moore's Law, the change in endurance, battery life, etc., will have an obvious "cliff change" in the process of disposing of second-hand cars for 3 years and 60,000 kilometers, and Tesla is also difficult to escape the market law.
However, if you consider the gradual increase in domestic Tesla sales in the future, the market share increases, the spare parts are affordable, the quality stability is improved, and the real reputation of users is better, this is all an improvement in the retention rate, and the disposal price of second-hand cars will have a positive improvement value.
In addition, if the official certified used car is professionally done well, including automobile life cycle management, the disposal optimization of major customer vehicles, etc., these are the hard work that needs to be accumulated. At present, look at Tesla's official certified used cars, huh.
BMW 3 series is the youngest product in the same level of BBA, its retention rate and competitors are all different, the first used car of young users, often choose BMW's tendency is more, so the 3 series of used cars, young and middle-aged cars are best-selling goods, especially the 325 series, slightly better than the low-end 320 and high-end imported versions, mainly slightly modified enough, looking at it is also enough personality.
The current BMW 325 series, although affected by the chip, but the BBA level of competition is still very fierce, terminal discount 30,000 +, waiting for the car 1-2 months, although there are various types of insurance decoration attached, in general, 325 this one within 300,000 is still good.
The retail price of second-hand cars is relatively stable, the retention rate is very good, the second-hand car operators are also small profits and high sales, the purchase price is not low, it is a relatively financial model, in addition, the quality is stable at the same level year-on-year, and the price of spare parts is stable, so when 60,000 kilometers are sold in 3 years, the price loss is not large.
Perhaps some people consider the impact of electrification on such vehicles, but the current market share and future performance, 3 years later in 2025, the proportion of pure electric vehicles in new cars, second-hand cars after all, there are delayed consumption scenarios, after all, our country is not all north, Guangzhou, Shenzhen electric vehicle environment, most cities still have more practical demand for fuel vehicles, so BMW this car will not encounter a "policy crisis".
Comprehensive current consideration, 3 years later, even if the BMW 3 series is remodeled, for the 325 such models may also become a song, but the second-hand car is in short supply, there is a new car price reduction on the reverse impact of the second-hand car, the current look at the electric car through the gasoline price increase "water rises", fuel vehicles to improve the discount, this rise and fall, such as oil prices and chips return to normal, the second-hand car market will "road remote horsepower" to tell everyone "new cars out of the mix, used cars are to pay back"!
300,000 budget, BMW 3 Series PK Tesla Model 3, 60,000 kilometers in 3 years Who is more cost-effective?
Finally, we use the cost of the car and the discount price of the vehicle to comprehensively calculate the actual cost of the next two cars in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers.
It can be seen that the current BMW 3 series is stronger in the retention rate, after all, it is a mature product, the market reputation and share have a relatively stable historical performance, and Tesla Model 3 is lower in the cost of the car.
Due to the characteristics of the Model 3 electric vehicle, the retention rate of used cars has a great disadvantage compared to the current 3 series.
At present, according to the analysis of the current situation, the comprehensive cost of using the car and the depreciation cost of the second-hand car sale are superimposed, and the cycle of 60,000 kilometers in 3 years is the same.
The actual use cost of bmw 3 series is about 2.67 yuan / km, the actual use cost of Tesla Model 3 is about 3.1 yuan / km, if carefully calculated, it is obviously more cost-effective to buy a BMW 3 series.
However, this is not static, policies, quality, prices, costs are subject to change at any time, the automotive industry's gray rhinos and black swans are about to "flock"!
The above is only our calculation based on the compromise factors of most people in the first-tier cities in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers, if it is less than 60,000 kilometers in 3 years and more than 60,000 kilometers in 3 years, it will have another impact on the comprehensive cost of the two vehicles, and this impact is mainly the discount price, and the daily car cost is relatively fixed.
But in other words, the discount price, whether the number of kilometers or less, the current data, Tesla Model 3 use depreciation loss is higher, BMW 3 Series impact is not so large.
In summary, for these two cars that are often compared, there is no doubt that the bmw 3 series is lower than the Tesla Model 3 after full conversion in 3 years and 6 kilometers of use, so buying electric vehicles to save money may be a fallacy for electric vehicles of more than 200,000 yuan.
You are welcome to put forward the next comparison request, we give you a good calculation!
Maybe for cheaper electric cars, it may be a different ending. We will continue to calculate the actual cost for different models at different price points.
Finally, if there are electric vehicle manufacturers for some electric vehicles to promote more money than fuel vehicles, in the end is not to steal the concept, fool you, the use of automotive products can not only look at one of the aspects, with their own strengths to attack people's shortcomings, in fact, it is not rude!
When you buy a car, you still have to polish your eyes, in this era of oil prices of 9 yuan, the actual comprehensive use cost of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles will always be game alternate, we must continue to pay attention to us, improper leeks are not cut meat!
People, sometimes choice is more important than hard work!
Cars, even more so, do not spend money to buy a car, and do not roll in carefully!
Stay tuned for the next issue, and you are welcome to make requests!
