Some time ago, we made an interview with the owner of The Krypton 001, when talking about charging, she directly called out "every time I charge, I want to change back to my oil car, how fast to refuel", it can be seen that charging is inconvenient and long charging time, which is one of the key factors that cause her to want to change back to the oil car.
To better understand how many car owners regret (or do not regret) buying a new energy vehicle? And why they regret (or don't regret) buying new energy vehicles, first electric network launched a survey on "do you regret buying new energy vehicles". In 5 days, we collected a total of 349 questionnaires, of which Beijing accounted for the largest proportion. In these questionnaires, men and women accounted for 85% and 15% respectively, and the age group of 31-40 years old was the largest, accounting for more than 50%.
According to the survey results, 321 (92%) owners did not regret buying new energy vehicles, and only 28 (8%) owners regretted buying new energy vehicles. It can be seen that the satisfaction of most car owners with new energy vehicles is still relatively high.
The most regretful new energy models and brands TOP10
Let's focus on which new energy vehicles these 321 car owners have not regretted buying.
Through the collation of survey data, we concluded that zero-run C11 accounted for the largest proportion, ranking first, Tesla Model Y ranked second, and Xiaopeng P7 ranked third.
Known as the "king of cost performance", the Zero-Run C11 is zero-run car's first pure electric SUV, delivered to users in October last year. At present, the zero-run C11 is subject to the impact of production capacity and has not become the "explosive" model that everyone expects. Affected by the soaring prices of raw materials, zero-run C11 took the lead in joining the price increase. However, judging from the sales volume in March, the zero-running car has not been affected by the price increase.
Among the new energy vehicles that these car owners least regret buying, BYD is the most popular brand, with Zero Run, Chery, Tesla, and Nezha ranking in the top five. Just a few days ago, BYD officially announced that it would no longer build fuel vehicles, becoming the world's first traditional car company to stop production of fuel vehicles. BYD's ability to have such boldness is inseparable from its years of technical accumulation and a strong supply system.
No major problems, good appearance, and solid battery life are the main reasons why these 321 car owners do not regret buying new energy vehicles. Among them, the proportion of car owners who choose "no major problems" is the largest, which also shows that people's acceptance of new energy vehicles is getting higher and higher, as long as there is no major problems.
Commuting in the city (92% of the total) is the main use of these car owners to buy new energy vehicles, followed by short trips and child pick-up, accounting for 49.5% and 31.5% respectively, while the remaining 5% of car owners buy cars for online ride-hailing operations.
If you buy a car again, bydir Han DM-i is their preferred model, followed by zero-run C01, NIO ET7, Xiaopeng G9 and Tang DM-i are also their more popular models. Just yesterday, the BYDHan family launched new products - the 2022 BYDHan EV and BYDHan DM were officially launched, and a total of four models were released. Among them, BYD EV released the genesis version and the limited edition of Qianshancui, and BYD Han DM launched two models of DM-i and DM-p. With the listing of the new products of the Han family, "Di" fans have new choices.
"More recognition of the brand, like the appearance of the car, high intelligence, in line with the budget, strong performance, in line with the budget, cost-effective" is the main reason why they choose these cars.
The most regrettable new energy model top 10
According to the survey results, 28 car owners regretted buying new energy vehicles. WM EX5, Changan Benben E-Star, and BYD Han are the three new energy vehicles they regret buying the most.
The battery life is too weak, there are many small problems, the after-sales service is not good, the power lock is the main reason why they regret buying these cars.
In the case of WM EX5, safety is its biggest hard problem. In just 4 days last December, 3 vehicles were burned in a row, first on the 20th, a WM EX5 in Zhengzhou caught fire spontaneously, and then on December 22 and 23, two WM EX5 in Hainan caught fire.
On January 20 this year, another self-ignition accident occurred in WM EX5 in Sanya, Hainan. After investigation, the local fire department determined that the cause was the fire caused by the "power battery failure" of the car, but WM refused to recognize the fire identification report, insisting that its car was no problem.
After several accidents, in order not to have similar spontaneous combustion accidents, WM Motors did the battery life without authorization when the owner went to do vehicle maintenance.
When there was a problem with the power battery of its car, it should have stood up to give consumers a reasonable response and recalled the relevant vehicles, but for its own interests, it completely disregarded the trust of the owner, and the damage was also its own brand power.
What would you buy if I bought a car again? BYD Seal, BYD Han DM-i and BYD Tang DM-i are the three models preferred by 28 car owners. Recognizing the brand, liking the appearance of the car, and the performance of the vehicle are the three reasons why they choose to buy these cars again.
Indeed, in recent years, BYD's brand influence has increased significantly, especially with the blessing of blade battery and DM-i hybrid technology, BYD's sales have soared. In March, BYD's new energy vehicles exceeded 100,000 for the first time, breaking through the record high.
At present, BYD is selling nearly 20 new energy vehicles, which is already the volume of other brands of fuel vehicles, and in the future, with the products of the marine series and warship series successively listed, almost involved in many segments. With the rapid rise of product reputation and market recognition, it will also drive the rapid improvement of BYD's brand premium ability.
Written in the end: In summary, zero-run C11, Tesla Model Y, Xiaopeng P7 are three new energy models that 321 car owners do not regret buying, no major problems, good appearance, and solid battery life are the main reasons why they do not regret buying these cars. 92% of them buy a car for commuting, and if they buy a car again, the BYDHan DM-i is their preferred model.
