The recent new energy vehicle market can be described as hot. Whether it is the reaction of the market or the heat of the discussion, it is a proper top stream. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the past Three months, domestic new energy vehicle sales reached 484,000 units, setting a new record high in sales. At the same time, the market penetration rate exceeded 21%, indicating that consumers' expected purchase intentions are also very strong.
What about the new energy used car market? The reporter visited the market and learned that although the retention rate of some new energy second-hand cars has begun to rise, the overall market popularity is far less than that of fuel vehicles.
Battery life creates uncertainty about retention rates
The price increase of new energy vehicles that began in March has increased the retention rate of many popular new energy models.
Chen Deng, owner of the second-hand car shop in Zhongnan Automobile World, introduced, "Recently, the price of many new energy new cars has risen, and the second-hand cars of new energy have also risen. For example, The more popular new energy vehicles such as Weilai, Ideal, Tesla, and BYD have also risen by 10%.
At present, in the zhongnan used car market, the main model sold is still a fuel model. Parked in a prominent position in each store, it is still a common fuel model on the market. A second-hand car sales reporter introduced that the recent second-hand car price market has not changed much compared with the beginning of the year. The popularity of the new energy vehicle market has not directly affected the sales of fuel used cars.
Regarding the downturn in the price of new energy used cars, Ou Yongjun, a used car practitioner in Yuelu District, Changsha, said, "The battery status of second-hand electric vehicles is uncertain, and it is difficult to give a clear pricing in the market." We do used cars, and under normal circumstances, we will not collect them, for fear of falling into our own hands."
The "first term" has made the retention rate of new energy vehicles more worried
In recent years, pure electric vehicle models have a longer and longer battery life, and the loss of battery health not only affects the retention rate of second-hand cars, but also increases consumers' worries when buying cars. To this end, many car companies have launched power battery lifelong warranty and other services, such as Nezha V, Chery Ant, BYD Tang, Aian V, Eian S and so on.
However, the lifetime battery warranty of most car companies, including the warranty of "three electric systems (battery, motor, electronic control)", follows the first owner. That is to say, even if you buy a new energy used car that is only one day old, you cannot enjoy the various benefits provided by the car company.
This kind of first car owner benefits, in addition to the lifetime warranty of the three-electric system, also includes "lifetime traffic service", "lifetime free charging", etc., and different types of "first car owner welfare packages" launched by different car companies.
These benefits are intended to promote and dispel the worries of car owners when buying new energy vehicles, but they also bring about the problem of new energy vehicles.
However, second-hand car consumers are not very confident about the new energy vehicle three-electric system, in the absence of car company protection, its willingness to buy will further decline, which makes new energy second-hand cars, especially pure electric second-hand cars, suffer from "cold reception" in the second-hand car market.
