According to Tencent Automobile's previous survey, nearly 40% of oil truck users spend more than 1,000 yuan per month, and more than half of new energy vehicle users have a monthly car cost of less than 300 yuan, and more than 40% of users said that they are considering buying new energy vehicles because of rising oil prices.
When oil prices achieved a continuous "five consecutive increases" on March 17 and broke through 9 yuan, the prices of basic raw materials for new energy vehicles also began to rise due to the impact of the situation in Russia and Ukraine, which eventually forced the terminal price of new energy vehicles to rise. This "qi fei" of oil price/car price makes consumers who want to buy a car in the near future embarrassed, but is it really that difficult?
When it comes to soaring oil prices, in Beijing as an example, the price of 92# gasoline per liter today is 8.65 yuan, and the price of 95# gasoline has reached 9.21 yuan / liter. Compared with the last price adjustment, it will cost about 30 yuan more for ordinary fuel vehicles to fill a tank of fuel.
How much has new energy vehicles risen? Mainstream brands centralize price adjustment information summary
Also in March, due to the decline in new energy car purchase subsidies and the sharp rise in raw material prices, BYD, Tesla and other brands took the lead in completing price increases, followed by a large number of domestic new energy vehicle companies also officially announced price increases. Therefore, after combing through the information such as these brands, models and price adjustments, we found that these price-increasing car companies almost occupy the current mainstream domestic new energy vehicle brands.
Judging from the information summarized at present, 11 brands such as Tesla, BYD, Xiaopeng, Ideal, Chery New Energy, WM, Euler, Nezha, Zero Run, Geometry, and Renault Jiangling have announced price increases, and Tianji has also adjusted preferential policies for car purchases. It can be said that these brands have occupied the vast majority of sales in the new energy vehicle market.
Combined with the previous news, it is learned that the subsidy for new energy vehicles may be cancelled in 2023, but fortunately, the new energy vehicle purchase tax reduction policy will continue to be implemented. Some experts predict that the price of new energy vehicles may be slightly increased in 2023, but the national policy direction will continue to encourage the purchase of new energy vehicles, and the price of new energy vehicles will not be significantly increased.
Therefore, if you just need to choose to buy new energy vehicles, you must take a shot as soon as possible. Of course, before purchasing new energy vehicles, you must also understand your own car needs and local policies, so that it is convenient to choose a model that is more suitable for you.
Mainly based on urban commuting needs: it is more recommended to buy pure electric vehicles
According to the survey data, more than 40% of users said that they were "considering buying new energy vehicles because of rising oil prices." The reason for this idea is also affected by the cost of travel (money + time), especially when the oil price continues to rise, which will highlight the cheaper the electricity bill, especially if the oil price is higher.
After all, the price of oil is fixed in a certain period of time, and the relatively cheap electricity bill has the change of "peak, flat and valley" in the daily period, and the use of electricity at the trough can further save travel costs.
However, pure electric vehicles still have the shortcomings of "endurance anxiety" and "charging time is too long", but when they only meet the daily commuting in the city or the round-trip needs of suburban areas, pure electric vehicles are obviously more suitable. To this end, Tencent Motor has listed the travel cost data of "fuel vehicles", "plug-in hybrid vehicles" and "pure electric vehicles" under urban commuting, which are for your reference only.
Taking the most mainstream compact sedan in the market as an example, even if it is a joint venture model that can control the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers at a lower level of 6.5L, the fuel cost when driving 50km is more than 28 yuan, and the pure electric mode can drive 50-60km plug-in hybrid sedan can not consume gasoline, which is equivalent to a pure electric vehicle at this time, even if the fuel cost under the feed state (oil-electricity hybrid) is only 20 yuan, which is slightly cheaper than the fuel car.
The mainstream pure electric vehicle with a power consumption of 12kWh per 100 kilometers only costs 9 yuan for driving 50km, which is 3 times more than that of fuel vehicles. If the owner has a private charging pile and then uses the low price of electricity at night to charge, then the cost of this trip will be further reduced. In addition, from the perspective of long commuting distances such as 100km and 200km, the advantages of pure electric vehicles are even more obvious.
Similarly, if you change to the mainstream medium-sized SUV today, when the fuel consumption of the fuel version of the SUV is higher, the travel cost advantage of the same level of pure electric SUV is more obvious. Similarly, when new energy vehicle owners have private charging piles, even if they use plug-in hybrid SUVs for daily commuting, the cost of travel can become very low.
Summary: From the data provided for reference, pure electric vehicles can better meet the daily commuting in the city, or travel between the suburbs. Therefore, even if the price of pure electric vehicles has increased, combined with the demand for cars, if the use of cars is more urban commuting, it is obviously more suitable for the purchase of pure electric vehicles.
Because of this kind of short-distance travel, there is no need to spend time to replenish energy during the travel process, and the travel cost (money + time) of pure electric vehicles is the lowest; if there is a good charging environment, plug-in hybrid vehicles can be used as electric vehicles, and the travel cost will also be very low.
100,000-200,000 yuan pure electric SUV recommended: BYD Song PLUS EV (18.08-197,800 yuan), BYD yuan PLUS (13.78-16.58 million yuan), Changan CS55 EV (15.99-20.09 million yuan), GAC AION V (17.76-23.96 million yuan), geometry C (12.98-18.28 million yuan), Nezha U (10.58-17.98 million yuan), WM EX5 (14.98-16.38 million yuan), Xiaopeng G3i (16.89-20.39 million yuan)
200,000-400,000 yuan pure electric vehicle recommendation: BYD Han EV (214,800-28.45 million yuan), Xiaopeng P7 (23.99-42.99 million yuan), Tesla Model 3 (29.10-36.79 million yuan)
Mainly based on the needs of medium and long-distance travel: plug-in hybrid vehicles are more suitable
Although the proportion of medium and long-distance travel in life will not be as frequent as urban commuting, but thanks to China's vast land, there are also many car owners who love self-driving travel, so domestic consumers have long-distance demand after buying a car, and many families are still buying a car for the first time or consumption upgrades, so Tencent Automobile has also calculated the cost of medium and long-distance travel to provide reference.
Also take the examples of compact sedans and mid-size SUVs. Among them, the 92# fuel cost of the sedan driving 500km is about 218.13 yuan, the total cost of the plug-in hybrid car when it is full of oil is 180 yuan, and the electricity cost of pure electric vehicles is only 90 yuan, but when driving 500km, pure electric vehicles, although the travel cost is very dominant, but at least one charge is needed in the middle, which will take a lot of time, from the perspective of travel cost (money + time), it is not particularly cost-effective, on the contrary, fuel vehicles and plug-in mixed vehicles can reach the destination earlier.
And when driving 800km and 1000km, the time cost of pure electric vehicles that need to be charged multiple times will be further enlarged, although the fuel car is convenient to refuel, but the overall fuel cost is still high, only the plug-in hybrid vehicle is the most economical travel cost, which can ensure that the same time as the fuel vehicle arrives, and the fuel cost is only 69% of the fuel vehicle.
If you switch to a medium-sized SUV with higher fuel consumption, the longer the mileage traveled, the more obvious the advantages of plug-in hybrid SUV, in addition to reducing the time spent on refueling times, the overall fuel cost is also reduced by 45% compared to fuel vehicles.
Summary: Through the above reference example, it is not difficult to see that plug-in hybrid vehicles are more suitable for the needs of medium- and long-distance travel, which is more in line with the current needs of Chinese people. Especially in the past 2 years, the rise of domestic hybrid technology will perform better in terms of long endurance and low fuel consumption. The use of pure electric vehicles to run long-distance, may have to wait until the subsequent power exchange mode is popularized to better cope.
