As a fuel car owner, the most heard sentence in 2022 is that oil prices are going to rise.
In just three months, the mainland's refined oil market has carried out a total of 5 price adjustments, and these 5 price adjustments have ended in an increase, which has also made many fuel owners miserable.
Taking No. 92 refined oil as an example, the oil price before New Year's Day is still maintained at the level of 7 yuan, and now it has risen to 8.6 yuan, according to the calculation of the 50L fuel tank of the family car, it costs 80 yuan to fill a tank of oil, which greatly increases the cost of the car owner.
In particular, the price adjustment on March 17 is quite exaggerated, no. 92 gasoline per liter increase of 0.59 yuan, No. 95 gasoline per liter increase of 0.62 yuan, this price adjustment also let the 95 gasoline into the 9 yuan era.
Of course, the rise in oil prices is mainly due to the changes in international oil prices, international oil prices have risen, and the mainland's refined oil products will naturally adjust prices accordingly.
To make matters worse, the problem is not only the price of gasoline, but even the price of motor oil. Recently, Shell, Total, Kunlun lubricants and other lubricating oil companies have announced the news of price increases.
Shell, for example, mentioned in its explanatory letter that it will adjust the selling price of all lubricant products from April 5, 2022, with an expected increase of 8-15%.
The reason for the price increase given by the official is the rapid rise in international crude oil prices, the continuous rise in the price of raw materials such as based silicone oil and additives, and the supply is also very tight, resulting in a rapid and sharp rise in the cost of lubricating oil products.
In this way, the subsequent maintenance costs of fuel vehicles will inevitably increase, with the rise in gasoline and lubricating oil prices, the cost of fuel vehicles will be significantly increased in the future, and many car owners have sighed: it is too difficult!
In this context, the advantages of new energy vehicles have begun to stand out, and they have become more and more popular in the past two years due to the use of low-cost charging methods for driving.
According to the data released by the Federation of Passenger Vehicles, the cumulative retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles in mainland China in 2021 will be 2.989 million units, an increase of 169.1% year-on-year, accounting for 14.59% of the total passenger car market.
At the same time, the association also predicts that in 2022, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in the mainland will reach more than 5.5 million, and it is even expected to exceed 6 million, if this target can be achieved, then the sales volume of new energy vehicles will soon increase to one-third.
However, it should be noted that although the price of refined oil products has risen sharply, new energy vehicles are also rising in price.
Recently, due to the shortage of upstream raw materials, the cost pressure of new energy vehicle production has intensified, resulting in BYD, Tesla, Xiaopeng, Nezha, Euler and other brands have announced the price increase of their electric vehicles.
Taking Tesla as an example, its price has increased three times in two weeks, involving models such as Model 3 and Model Y, and the price increase ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
In addition, byd, the domestic new energy vehicle sales champion BYD has also officially announced a price increase recently, with an adjustment range of 3,000-6,000 yuan.
Compared with the fuel cost of paying dozens of yuan a box more for fuel vehicles, the purchase cost of new energy vehicles after price adjustment is obviously much higher.
On the whole, whether it is the rise in oil prices or the increase in the price of new energy vehicles, it shows a problem, that is, global inflation is penetrating into all corners of life.
We cannot interfere with the rise in prices in various fields, and only by improving our earning power can we keep up with the pace of development of this era. So for the global price increase, how do you see it, welcome to comment, like, share.
