In the domestic automotive market, new energy vehicles are divided into three categories: pure electric, plug-in hybrid and range extender. However, in terms of emissions, although plug-in hybrid and extended range electric vehicles have been optimized, they are not much different from fuel vehicles in essence, so it is pure electric vehicles that really save energy and reduce emissions. So, there are many brands and types of pure electric cars on the market, before buying a car, what problems do we need to consider so as not to regret it after buying a car? Let's take a specific look at it from five aspects.
Car demand. Choosing a model that suits you first needs to discover your real car purchase needs. For example, buying a car is to pick up the baby to go to school, or to commute to work, or to travel for a multi-family family, whether you need to consider a weekend short-distance self-driving trip or even a small long holiday trip, whether you need to take into account the large space and control, etc., these will directly decide what kind of model to choose, how much mileage is needed, here, we will take out the mileage to talk about it alone.
There are many types of models on the market, including SUVs, MPVs and cars, even if they are the same car, they generally have multiple configurations, corresponding to different mileage. Different car needs, corresponding to different mileage, such as just commuting to work, 300-400 km of endurance is enough to cope, but if it is necessary to combine the needs of long-distance cars, then the 500-600 km endurance models on the market will be more suitable for some; different car use scenarios, the actual attenuation of the mileage is also different, such as in the north and in the south, the actual endurance of the battery pack will be a big difference, and then for example, summer air conditioning cooling, In winter, due to factors such as cold weather and heating, the mileage will be greatly reduced.
Supporting facilities. From the perspective of use, one of the biggest differences between new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles is the way of replenishment, the former has a charging pile, its role is similar to the function of the gas station's gas pump, the fuel dispenser is in the gas station, but the charging pile, the factors considered are more. For example, whether charging piles are allowed to be installed at home or in the community, whether it is a slow charging pile or a fast charging pile, whether it is convenient to charge in the company, whether the layout of the surrounding public charging pile is comprehensive, and so on. If conditions permit, most people will choose to install charging piles at home or in the community, at this time, we need to comprehensively consider infrastructure construction issues such as charging piles.
Subsidy policy. Subsidy policies are divided into the following categories: state subsidies, local subsidies and car company subsidies. Different models, different mileage, the corresponding subsidy policies are not the same, different regions, local subsidies are not the same, the sales policies of each car company are also different, some are calculated according to the latest subsidy policy after reduction, some do not have purchase tax, some are limited purchase free charging and so on. Before buying a car, we need to ask for relevant information to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings due to misunderstandings.
Warranty Policy. Different from fuel vehicles, the maintenance of new energy vehicles mainly considers the whole vehicle three electrics, especially the battery. The state has introduced relevant policies for power batteries: manufacturers must meet the warranty period of 8 years and 120,000 kilometers for the power battery it carries, and the battery attenuation must meet the "500 charge and discharge attenuation not more than 10%; 1000 charge and discharge attenuation does not exceed 20%". Different car companies give different warranty policies, some are 8 years or 120,000 kilometers of three electric warranty, some car companies will provide three electric system lifetime free warranty, but may be limited to the first owner, these corresponding policies, before buying a car also need to be understood clearly.
After-sales service. Because the new energy vehicle market is an emerging market in recent years, there are many brands, product quality is uneven, and even many emerging brands have not yet undergone long-term inspection of the market, therefore, as consumers, before buying a car, they also need to pay attention to the brand's after-sales service policy, to ensure that car companies have a sound after-sales service mechanism and team, have the ability to fulfill the three guarantees of obligations, practice after-sales commitments, etc. In addition, from the previous Tesla brake failure, ideal car seat rust and other events, encounter quality problems many manufacturers will choose to recall treatment, consumers in the choice of electric vehicles also need to pay attention to whether the manufacturer has fulfilled the three-guarantee obligation and after-sales commitment and other service attitude issues.
