Not surprisingly, oil prices have indeed entered the "9 yuan era", for more than 300 million car owners, can only helplessly accept, and even began to envy 6 million pure electric vehicle owners.
For most fuel owners, in the annual expenditure, fuel costs undoubtedly occupy the majority, if used more frequently, a year's fuel cost easily exceeds 10,000 yuan. Coupled with insurance premiums, maintenance fees, maintenance fees, parking fees, etc., raising a fuel car costs 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and the cost is indeed very high.
Oil prices enter the "9 yuan era"
From 24:00 on March 17, the domestic gasoline and diesel prices increased by 750 yuan and 720 yuan per ton respectively, that is, the oil price was raised by 0.59 yuan / liter - 0.71 yuan / liter. This is the fifth price increase this year and the highest increase in nearly nine years.
At the end of 2021, the price of No. 95 gasoline is still in the "7 yuan era", but I did not expect to enter 2022, it rose for 5 consecutive times, with a total increase of about 1 yuan and 6 cents, officially entering the "9 yuan era".
At present, the price of No. 92 gasoline across the country has exceeded 8.5 yuan / liter, the lowest shaanxi is 8.51 yuan / liter, the highest Hainan is 9.76 yuan / liter, the price of No. 95 gasoline is more than 9 yuan / liter, the lowest Shaanxi is 9 yuan / liter, and the highest Hainan is 10.37 yuan / liter.
Many people had hoped that the price would be lowered this time, because international oil prices had fallen, but they did not expect it to rise. In this regard, the National Development and Reform Commission also responded, saying that how to adjust each price mainly depends on the comparison of the average international oil price in the 10 working days before the price adjustment and the average value of the previous 10 working days. That is to say, it is not to look at the rise and fall of international oil prices for one or two days, but also to look at a long-term process.
Oil prices continue to rise, and the cost of driving continues to rise, which seems to have ushered in the spring of pure electric vehicles. Shen Hui, the founder of WM Motor, gave netizens Amway pure electric vehicles, saying that according to the calculation of 100,000 kilometers in 5 years, pure electric vehicles can be more than 80,000 cheaper than fuel vehicle fuel costs.
More than 80,000 is enough to buy a Volkswagen Santana or POLO, which seems to be a very good deal. But are pure electric vehicles really that good?
In fact, the oil price has risen, and 6 million pure electric vehicle owners can't laugh out, the reason is very realistic, you can't just look at the oil price. Buying a car is not a car rental, you can't just look at the present, but you should look at the cost of a car's life cycle, so that you know which is more cost-effective.
Battery life and charging are headaches
Many manufacturers now advertise that pure electric vehicles have a range of more than 600 kilometers, or even 800 kilometers, but in fact, they have to be greatly discounted.
First of all, running high-speed and long-distance, the shortcomings of pure electric vehicles are vividly reflected. Running high-speed air conditioning, coupled with other power-consuming equipment, can be said to consume power quickly, especially the faster the speed, the faster the consumption. In the low temperature environment of winter, the electricity consumption is even greater. Therefore, the high-speed mileage that a pure electric vehicle can currently run is very short.
Some people say that I am running in and around the city, but when I go home for the New Year, I have a car and who still takes the train, especially after having children, it is still very convenient to have a car every time I go back.
Even if it is mainly based on short-distance driving, there is a big problem, that is, charging. At present, many residential charging piles are very few, want to save money to pull their own wire, it is also very troublesome, the property for safety, generally do not let the private pull line. Go outside to charge, and also queue up.
Charging pure electric vehicles takes time, not as fast as refueling, if it is on the high speed, it is more troublesome, and it is normal to queue for several hours during the peak holiday period. So, the electricity bill seems to be very cheap, but the problem of charging is really a headache.
New energy vehicles really don't save money
Pure electric vehicles run less than a dime a kilometer, and many people are attracted by this. Compared with the fuel cost, it is indeed much cheaper, and it can save thousands of yuan a year. There is also a relatively cheap maintenance fee, which can be less than a few hundred yuan a year.
But we still have to calculate other costs, first of all, the price of the same level of car, pure electric vehicles is generally more expensive than fuel vehicles more than 40,000. Affected by factors such as the rising cost of international raw materials, the new energy vehicle market has set off a wave of price increases. Since entering March, 20 new energy vehicle companies such as Tesla, BYD, and Chery New Energy have announced price increases, with WM Motors rising by 7,000-26,000 yuan, Euler Good Cat also rising by 6,000-7,000 yuan, and zero-running car C11 models with a maximum price increase of 30,000 yuan. That is to say, for the same price, you can buy a very good fuel car.
Secondly, the retention rate of pure electric vehicles is really low. Someone spent 375,100 yuan to buy the WEILAI EC6 performance version of the electric vehicle, and after half a year, the second-hand price dropped to 305,000 yuan, and the retention rate was only 81%. If it is 5 years later, the retention rate is less than 50%, and no one even collects it. Some people spent 220,000 yuan to buy BYD e6 electric vehicles, and only sold 41,000 yuan after 5 years, with a retention rate of only 18%, while the retention rate of fuel vehicles after 5 years is generally above 50%.
Pure electric vehicles are expensive when they are purchased, and cheap when they are sold second-hand, and the difference in the price in the middle cannot be compared with fuel vehicles, so in fact, pure electric vehicles do not save money.
In addition, pure electric vehicles also have a problem, that is, batteries. Now many manufacturers will promise a warranty of 8 years, and some promise a lifetime warranty, but there will be many conditions. If after 8 years, the battery problem does not take long, then it takes 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to change a battery, which is not a low cost.
There is also a cost is car insurance, now the premium cost of pure electric vehicles is not low, like Tesla's some models of insurance costs have reached 15,000 yuan. Like fuel vehicles if not reported insurance, the cost will be very low, ordinary models less than 3,000 yuan.
Therefore, even if the oil price enters the "9 yuan era", pure electric vehicle owners can't laugh out, driving still depends on the life cycle of the entire car, rather than just looking at the present. What's more, oil prices may fall at any time, and it is difficult for electricity bills to fall. However, at present, new energy vehicles are very hot, sales are also rising sharply, and the future technology is becoming more and more mature, which may be a good choice.
