Some netizens joked that "92 full of debts, 95 full of bankruptcy, 98 full of three generations of repayment" In the face of the continuous rise in oil prices, many residents no longer drive to and from work, but choose electric vehicles. With the progress of science and technology, the development of the times, electric vehicles have become our most common means of transportation, easy to access, do not consume oil, do not emit exhaust, is a lot of students and office workers like to move tools.
The rise in international oil prices, not only vigorously promoted the mainland's new energy vehicles, even the general small electric donkey has also begun to increase prices, the people feel that the price of oil is too high, can only choose to ride the battery car to work, but now the battery car also has to increase the price, is it difficult for us to really walk and ride a bicycle to work? What is going on with the price increase of battery cars?
First, why are electric vehicles rising?
1. Population increases, demand increases
According to the Sixth National Population Census of the Mainland, the total population registered in the Sixth Population Census (with reported hukou) is 1,339,724,852. Electric vehicles have become a household name for transportation, in the past riding electric vehicles did not require any driving skills and operation, simple twisting the key, twisting the accelerator can be easily driven. The easy-to-understand operation is very popular with women and student parties.
As a generation artifact to pick up and drop off children, whenever parents who pick up and drop off their children after school are congested in a large area at the school gate, if they drive, they will only be congested there, but if they ride an electric car, they can stop at will, crowded, and narrow places can be reached. There is no need to worry about traffic jams, so the demand for electric vehicles is large, and the price will naturally increase.
2. Raw material accessories have risen sharply
As we all know, the kilometers of an electric vehicle's good or bad riding, the most important thing is the quality of the battery. The rise of various raw materials for electric vehicles is bound to follow the rise in the price of electric vehicles, and finally consumers pay the bill. It has been reported that the price of lithium batteries, the raw material in electric vehicles, is 50,000 yuan per ton in 2021, and as of today, it has risen to 450,000 yuan. It has doubled by 9 times, and from the lithium battery alone, we can see that the price of electric vehicles is inevitable. In addition to lithium batteries, accessories, materials are in a sharp increase in prices.
3. The impact of the epidemic has led to the closure of stores
In the past two years, the epidemic has repeatedly struck, and the most uncomfortable thing is that these physical stores and merchants, in order to respond to the call of the state, many shops and manufacturers have closed their stores to avoid business contacts and close contact between people.
After the epidemic stabilized slightly, the merchants took certain preventive measures, measured body temperature, scanned the health code, and after the itinerary code, they began to resume work one after another, and the epidemic also caused a lot of impact on many enterprises. A large number of individual merchants cannot afford high rents and depreciation of things, resulting in a change of career. Electric vehicle accessories manufacturers are no exception, affected by the epidemic has caused the price of raw materials to rise, and the increase in cost means that they also have to increase the price, otherwise they are doing loss-making business.
a4. Seasonal effects
In fact, the impact of the number of electric vehicle sales and seasonality is also relatively large. Summer commuting travel riding electric vehicles is both convenient and cool, in the sweltering summer, the car through high temperature exposure, in a short period of time is not accessible, instead of waiting for the heat in the car to dissipate, riding electric vehicles also reached the destination.
Summer is the peak season of electric vehicle sales, unlike the winter riding electric vehicles by the cold wind, coupled with the summer vacation school holidays, many students will ride electric vehicles out to play, so it is no doubt that summer is the peak season for electric vehicle sales.
Second, electric vehicles have become a means of transportation
1. Electric vehicles save money and effort
For office workers, riding an electric car is a very convenient thing, one does not have to worry about traffic jams, and the other does not have to worry about the problem of parking in the company. As we all know, the living standards of mainland residents have been greatly improved, the saturation of cars has increased, and parking spaces have become tense. The company could not find a suitable place to park, did not have a corresponding parking space, and faced the risk of being posted and dragged away by the traffic police.
Electric vehicles also do not need maintenance, only rely on a battery to maintain work, unlike cars that need to change oil, brake oil and a series of other equipment, the operation is simple and convenient. Commuting can be parked relatively close to the unit and home, as long as it is parked in a regular parking space, there is no need to worry about the risk of being dragged away by the traffic police.
2. Electric vehicles are popular among families
More and more families choose to buy electric vehicles, which means that electric vehicles have become household names, friends who buy electric vehicles are young, and now young people buy things, will not consider too much price problems, more important is the cost performance and performance of this thing, the rise of electric vehicles, the function will definitely change.
From the previous old-fashioned dashboard to the current LCD dashboard, electric vehicles with the rapid development of China's economic reform, electric vehicles are also being upgraded, the pursuit of fashion pace. Electric vehicle design is becoming more and more humane, and it is deeply loved by student parties and women. The first means of transportation chosen by students is the electric car, the bus waits too long, and it is particularly crowded, the electric car is faster than the bicycle, which can save time to go to school.
3. Electric vehicles are moving towards regularization
From the initial illegal driving of electric vehicles, casually changing lanes and running red lights, to the current standardized management, the mainland has been adjusting corresponding countermeasures according to the safety of the people. According to the requirements of the relevant departments, riding electric vehicles must be listed and worn helmets, electric vehicles are listed for better standardized management, wearing helmets is to improve the safety of electric vehicles, electric vehicles in addition to helmets, there are no protective measures, so wearing helmets is very important.
In fact, before this, mainland law did not explicitly stipulate that electric bicycles must wear helmets, because before that, electric bicycles were classified as "non-motorized vehicles", and motorcycle drivers who were "motor vehicles" had to wear helmets. However, with the passage of time and changes in economic development, electric bicycles have also been classified as "motor vehicles", and electric bicycle license management has been implemented in many areas, which also means that riding electric bicycles must not only wear helmets, but also list standardized management.
brief summary
For the rising trend of the starting price of electric vehicles, many residents began to hesitate to buy electric vehicles in the end, from the perspective of the market situation of travel vehicles, electric vehicles are still the means of transportation that many people like. In fact, in my opinion, if you really need an electric car, you may wish to buy it now, if you don't, just wait and see. In this regard, what do you think about the starting price of electric vehicles sitting on the ground?
