Opened nearly 7 years of pure electric vehicles, sweet and sour bittersweet have experienced, to be honest, new energy vehicles 4 major advantages are obvious but still have 5 pain points, each is a hard injury, if because of the rise in oil prices, want to save money and choose new energy vehicles, I advise everyone to think twice, new energy vehicles look fragrant, eating may be plugged between teeth, there are 5 things that only people who have driven pure electric vehicles know.
Pain points, save "oil" but do not save money
The daily travel cost of pure electric vehicles is very low, the average 1 km is only more than 1 cent, after 8 years of economic accounting, you will find that its comprehensive car cost is very high.
1. Compare electricity and oil costs
Pure electric vehicle electricity bill: in my own case, most of the time I use household charging piles, night valley electricity is relatively cheap, the peak electricity at night is slightly expensive, the average calculation from the charging pile 1 kWh of electricity is about 6 cents, occasionally charging in the public charging pile, parking fees, service fees, electricity costs down almost 1.5 yuan a kilowatt hour of electricity.
Self-use charging pile + public charging pile average down, 1 degree of electricity is almost 8 mao, mine is a dual motor, four-wheel drive vehicle, 100 kilometers of power consumption is slightly higher, sometimes more than 20 degrees of electricity in winter, comprehensive road conditions average 18 degrees of electricity.
Driving about 16,000 kilometers a year, the cost of charging a year is about 2300 yuan.
Fuel vehicle fuel cost: in terms of 1.6 displacement fuel vehicles, add No. 92 gasoline, the average fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is about 8L, and now No. 92 gasoline is 8.5 yuan, and the same year is 16,000 kilometers, and the total cost of refueling is about 10,000 yuan.
The average age of most family cars is 6-10 years, and in 8 years, the total cost of pure electric vehicle electricity is 23,000 yuan, and the fuel cost of fuel vehicles in 8 years is 80,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 57,000 yuan saved by pure electric vehicles in 8 years.
2. Compare insurance costs
This year, the new energy vehicle insurance program has just been launched, and everyone is complaining that pure electric vehicle insurance is much higher than that of fuel vehicles, and it is specific to see how much more expensive it is?
My car is a model to start in 2020, the landing price is about 260,000, the new energy three insurance 650, the car damage insurance 5300, the car personnel liability insurance is small, specifically depends on how much seat insurance to buy, 2 years of no insurance, the strong discount to 760, new energy models are currently exempt from car and boat tax.
Pure electric vehicle insurance details
260,000 pure electric vehicles, car damage insurance + three insurance + driving insurance + passenger insurance + traffic insurance, bought full insurance, after the total cost of about 8500.
Colleague's fuel car, the price of my pure electric vehicle is similar, it is also more than 200,000, 18 years of car, car damage insurance about 3300, three insurance (2 million), about 330 yuan, plus car and ship tax 390, traffic insurance 660, a total of about 5000 yuan (driving insurance + passenger insurance to buy less, less than 1000 yuan).
Fuel vehicle insurance details
The same price model, equivalent to pure electric vehicle insurance is more expensive than fuel vehicles about 2500 yuan, of course, the specific car insurance fee will be different because of different brands, different models, car conditions, car insurance companies, insurance types and other situations. This is my personal situation, only when referred to.
New energy vehicle insurance is also reasonable, after all, are new models in recent years, compared to fuel vehicles, it can be said that some new energy models are not mature enough in technology, most of the models have not yet been verified by time and the market, car insurance companies can not predict its failure rate, can only be calculated according to the upper limit.
Secondly, the vast majority of the current new energy model parts are relatively high, and can only choose to 4S shop, manufacturer maintenance, fewer cases, like batteries, electronic control systems and other components, with the increase in the number of years of the car, maintenance, repair costs are much higher than fuel vehicles, car insurance companies will not do loss-making business, so the premium will not be because of the age of the car and the more preferential.
If the annual premium of pure electric vehicles is 2500 yuan more expensive than that of the same level of fuel vehicles, then a total of 20,000 yuan is spent in 8 years.
3. Compare maintenance costs
Generally pure electric vehicle maintenance cycle is slightly longer than the fuel vehicle, 10,000 km or 1 year maintenance once, small maintenance is very simple, is the routine inspection, battery, chassis, electrical wiring, car system, charging system and other items, only need to pay the working hours, according to the time, model, etc. to determine, generally a single time 100-200 yuan range.
Large maintenance is to replace the air conditioning filter, coolant, reducer gear oil, and similar to fuel vehicles, a single time is about three or five hundred. The average cost is 600 yuan in one year, and 5,000 yuan in 8 years.
Fuel vehicle small maintenance is to replace the oil, machine filter, generally more than 100,000 family cars, a single small maintenance is calculated as 500 yuan, large maintenance according to the specific replacement project, this has more or less, the size of the maintenance is calculated on average, a year is calculated 1200 yuan, 8 years of total cost is 10,000 yuan.
4. Compare the retention rate of used cars
The retention rate of new energy models is generally low, especially the mileage is less than 400 kilometers, the retention rate of niche brand models is low, and the retention rate of popular brand models within 2 years is not bad, but the retention rate after three or five years is almost plummeting.
Before asking a second-hand car friend, I probably learned that the model I started in 2020, more than 2 years old, the total mileage is less than 50,000 kilometers, when it landed 26W, now it collects about 20, which is very much, almost the same as the fuel car. However, the retention rate of models with long vehicle age and short vehicle endurance is large.
Colleagues bought 19 Xiaopeng G3, he said that at that time the landing price of about 180,000, driving 50,000 kilometers of cars, 3 years of age, second-hand car dealers only gave 70,000 or 80,000, almost about 40% discount.
And the same price of fuel vehicles, to 19 330 editions of the Volkswagen Passat as an example, poor car age, car condition is almost the same, used cars can be at least 140,000 +. It is equivalent to a pure electric model losing at least 40,000 or 50,000 yuan in the second-hand residual value.
After three or five years, pure electric vehicles sold at least 60,000 less than fuel vehicles.
In short, for new energy models, the degree of intelligence is higher, just like mobile phones, the faster the replacement, the longer the age of the car, the battery life, battery safety, the second owner does not enjoy the warranty and other factors, its retention rate will only decline sharply.
5, compared with the cost of time, battery charging is too sad
If the fuel tank of the household fuel vehicle is 55L, plus No. 92 gasoline, 1.6 displacement models, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 8L, and a tank of fuel can run at least 600 kilometers or more, and the gas station can be seen everywhere at present, which is very convenient.
If the pure electric vehicle official endurance of 600 kilometers, the actual endurance can only run about 450 kilometers, running high speed in winter, turning on heating and air conditioning, 400 kilometers can not run, the remaining 100 kilometers of endurance, basically you have to plan in advance to charge, which means that fully charged more than 300 kilometers actually need to be charged.
If you use fast charging, it is basically 80% of the power, that is to say, if you subtract 20% of the endurance, you may actually run about 260 kilometers to charge.
During the Spring Festival last year, ran a high-speed trip, the weather is very cold, about three or five degrees, the whole process of heating and air conditioning, originally planned to charge the service area when the remaining 100 kilometers of endurance, but just chat, missed the service area, quickly searched the nearby service area on the APP, the nearest there are more than 60 kilometers, detour back, back and forth there are nearly 20 kilometers, according to experience, to the next service area is certainly no problem, but the change is always faster than planned.
Seeing that the remaining endurance is getting less and less, you can only reduce the speed of the car, maintain a speed of about 90 km / h, although the weather is very cold, you can only open the air conditioning for a while and turn off, every once in a while to see the remaining endurance, "anxiety" really came, then finally experienced the heartache of other pure electric vehicles "turtle speed" driving.
Fortunately, stay up to the service area, but far away to see the charging pile there is a long queue, the service area is small, a total of more than 10 charging piles, probably look at it, 2 disrepair, 2 incompatible, 4 slow charging, 2 fast charging, and the queue of car owners is about six or seven.
Even if all use fast charging, according to 1 hour per person, it takes at least 2-3 hours to get to themselves, but there is no way, can only wait, they are not local tycoons, always can not call the trailer.
The key is too delayed time, usually driving a fuel car only takes more than 3 hours, driving a pure electric car took nearly 7 hours, fortunately there is no emergency, if it is to talk about business, there may be millions of big orders gone, what is the little oil money saved? Therefore, in a hurry, small long-distance must not drive a pure electric vehicle.
6. Compare the cost of car purchase
Whether it is pure electric vehicles, oil-electric hybrids, plug-in hybrids, extenders, hydrogen energy models, the price of new cars is higher, on the one hand, the cost of core components is higher, and at the same time, it is affected by a variety of factors in the environment, the fluctuations are slightly larger, and it is necessary to control profits.
On the other hand, subsidies "decline", greater competition, and the overall profit of car companies have declined, which is also one of the reasons for the collective price increase of new energy models in recent times.
Compared with the same brand of the same fuel vehicle, such as 19 BYD Qin Pro, the same model of fuel vehicles, counting the purchase tax landing price of about 90,000, and the pure electric version landed nearly 150,000, other models of the same model are also similar, pure electric vehicles are generally more expensive than fuel vehicles more than 4w.
7. Other concerns: battery warranty, replacement price, battery safety and other issues
Battery life, battery safety is a topic that many car owners have been concerned about, the power battery of pure electric vehicles will continue to decay with the increase of service life, which is inevitable, but how long will it decay to affect the normal use of the car? So far, it has not been verified by the market.
From some of the official introductions of the battery, whether it is a ternary lithium battery or a lithium iron phosphate battery, a blade battery, it is judged by the number of cycle charges to judge the battery life, the ternary lithium battery cycle charging coefficient is slightly shorter, and some third-party tests have been seen.
If you often use fast charging, or use a car in the northern region, the actual number of cycles is less than a thousand times, assuming that 5 days are counted as a cycle charge, 75 times a year, it can be used for about 13 years, or according to the driving mileage, every 400 kilometers cycle charge, about 400,000 kilometers can travel about 400,000 kilometers.
But in fact, a car for more than four or five years, battery life attenuation gradually appeared, some car companies said that the battery attenuation of more than 30%, after the 4S shop test to meet the standard to enjoy free replacement (of course, did not find the relevant contracts, agreements, specific testing standards and other additional conditions are not), that is, want to change the battery for free, this situation is very difficult, after all, the cost of replacing the battery is too high.
At present, the cost of 1 kWh of power batteries on the market is at least more than 900, which is not counting other costs, assuming that a car power battery capacity is 70kwh, its batteries need about 70,000 or so, car companies free replacement? Think too much, that is, repair and continue to use. If it is replaced at your own expense, see the price, it is estimated that no car owner is willing to replace.
Then again, for the battery life problem, in fact, basically do not have to worry, from the current situation of old car owners, many taxi drivers have a total mileage of more than 300,000 kilometers, or even more, from the feedback point of view, attenuation is certain, but not as serious as the legend.
When it comes to batteries, safety and maintenance are the most controversial places.
Power battery due to chemical attributes of the factor, by the fierce collision, overcharge and other extreme circumstances may appear fire and other unsafe factors, this is the car companies urgently need to solve the problem, in addition, if the vehicle collision accident, affecting the chassis battery, on the one hand can not enjoy the warranty service, on the other hand, related to safety issues, the owner must want to replace the new battery, but the car insurance company is certainly unwilling, this matter needs to be discussed.
In short, only the economic account, pure electric vehicles save about 60,000 yuan in 8 years + 8 years of maintenance save 5,000, a total of 65,000 yuan saved. And the second-hand car lost money (count 40,000) + buy a new car overpayment (count 40,000) + insurance overpayment (8 years expensive 20,000), just compared with these three, pure electric vehicles will "lose" 35,000.
Therefore, only the economic account is calculated, and pure electric vehicles save "oil" without saving money.
The above I put some of the problems that may exist in pure electric vehicles at present are all pulled out, although there are many pain points, but this is not to say that new energy vehicles are not good, not cost-effective to buy, but just want to compare the two models in more detail, so that riders can clearly understand the real gap between pure electric vehicles and fuel vehicles. In fact, the advantages of new energy vehicles are obvious, taking pure electric vehicles as an example.
First of all, the power performance far exceeds the same level of fuel vehicles, arbitrarily compared with a pure electric vehicle, you will find more than 200,000 pure electric vehicles, its power performance can be comparable to four or five hundred thousand fuel vehicles, and even have advantages over them, which is mainly the essential gap between motor drive and engine drive.
Secondly, NVH comfort is better, fuel vehicle engine vibration, wind resistance, noise, structural design will affect the ride comfort, and pure electric vehicles, motor drive, sitting in the car almost do not feel the noise, it seems very quiet, of course, or to see the model tires, sound insulation and noise reduction level.
Finally, pure electric vehicles can enjoy the "green card", more energy-saving and environmentally friendly, high intelligence, assisted driving technology, a strong sense of science and technology, appearance, interior, space, functional configuration and other aspects are far beyond the same level of fuel vehicles.
I have seen a car owner in the circle of car friends, the new car has been bought for more than a year, the lottery number is almost 2 years, it has not been on the license, all these problems only need a pure electric car or plug-in hybrid model can be solved. At the same time, enjoy unlimited travel, 7 days a week, no longer need to set alarms, worried about the time limit period will be punished.
In other words, new energy vehicles are the trend of the times, the era of fuel vehicles will eventually pass, the future market may be pure electric vehicles, hydrogen energy or other new energy models, but at this stage, the corresponding supporting facilities are not perfect enough.
The range of pure electric vehicles has reached 1000 kilometers, the battery is enough, and the problem lies in slow charging, difficult charging, and safety.
If you want to save money and be practical, you can only buy a model with a lower price, tens of thousands of pure electric vehicles, and don't worry about how much the second-hand car can sell after a few years, don't have to look at the price of the battery, and don't care how much the new car costs.
At the current stage of buying a pure electric car, first of all, do not calculate the economic account, secondly, the charging should be convenient, and finally, the daily activity radius is within 300 kilometers, or there is already a fuel vehicle at home. Then look at the advantages of pure electric vehicles, you will find that it is really fragrant.
