The higher the price of oil, the more fragrant the tram?
"Driving a habitual tram can't go back to the gas car", this topic is believed that many people have brushed it on the Internet. In the face of the current pure electric model mileage is insufficient and charging inconvenience and other issues of this kind of statement, at first I was also skeptical, until I became a pure electric car owner and drove a fuel car for another week...
The higher the oil price, the more it can reflect the cost of pure trams
I got a fuel car a week ago, and considering that the recent oil price increase has been relatively strong, I am glad that the borrowed car can add 92 fuel. Seeing that there were still more than half a tank of oil in the car, I was very "generous" and said to the refueler: 92! Fill up! Finally, when the amount fell to the figure of 259 yuan, I was stunned for a few seconds, as if I felt like I was adding 95. My concept of the amount of fuel I had since driving the tram is really at the level of a year ago, but it makes me think that driving a pure tram is too much of a cost!
This time I added almost half a tank of fuel on the cost of 259 yuan, then fill a box must be running 500 yuan to go, but after filling a box of the table shows that the endurance is more than 400 kilometers, which is similar to my pure tram in the current temperature environment to 90% of the actual endurance, but in the cost of the car is a world of difference. The battery capacity of my pure electric model is 80kWh, from 0 to 90% almost can charge 70kWh of electricity, according to my pile current charging standard of 0.558 yuan per kWh of electricity, charging to 90% requires less than 40 yuan. If there is no pile, the current charging station is more expensive standard of about 2 yuan a kilowatt-hour of electricity, charging to 90% of the cost is also 140 yuan. If you choose to charge the price in the valley time can also be cut in half. In this way, the cost of pure trams compared to fuel vehicles is not a star and a half, no wonder many online ride-hailing drivers have changed pure trams to run Didi even if they know the long charging time and charging queues.
In addition to saving fuel money, maintenance can also save a lot
The cost of two maintenance items can also be reduced by a large margin. The general maintenance of fuel vehicles is about six or seven hundred, and luxury brands like BBA will be more. My pure tram last maintenance cost 370 yuan, at first I thought it was a small maintenance, and the maintenance master chatted to know that the pure tram maintenance is like this, including the whole vehicle inspection, battery health inspection and check the fault code. The majority of the 370 yuan maintenance cost is still the air conditioning filter. Many people may say that pure electric models do not have engines, so what should I do if there is a problem with the motor? In fact, many models will provide a lifetime warranty of sandian, and you can pay attention to it when choosing a car.
There is also a little advantage of pure electric models is that they can be maintained on site, and I have experienced two on-site maintenance, which is very convenient. Not only do you not have to run a 4S shop for maintenance, but you can also rest at home during the whole process of maintenance, and you don't have to wait for boredom in the store. Although there seems to be a service for on-site maintenance of fuel vehicles at present, pure electric models have some natural advantages in terms of feasibility and convenience. At present, there are already several pure electric brands that have begun to have such services, and there is an opportunity to experience it.
After driving a pure tram and then driving a fuel car, I found that the fuel consumption could not go down
In the process of driving the fuel car, I found a problem, that is, the fuel consumption of this fuel car is always in a relatively high state, even if I have turned on the ECO mode and driven as gently as possible, the fuel consumption of this 1.5T and CVT transmission can only be driven to 8.3L/100km at the lowest, and when colleagues drive this car, the fuel consumption can run to 6.9L/100km. At first, I thought he had some fuel saving secret, but after analyzing it, I found that it was actually my electric vehicle driving habits that were at work. After driving a pure tram, I have become accustomed to the thrill of the first "punching line" at the beginning, and when overtaking, due to the characteristics of the motor is also relatively "straight", such driving habits are now used in fuel vehicles is undoubtedly the most fuel-intensive driving method, and because I have become accustomed to the single-pedal mode of pure trams, I still need to adapt to it when switching to fuel vehicles.
The pleasure brought by electric vehicles cannot be given by general fuel vehicles
As mentioned earlier, the driving habits of driving electric vehicles and fuel vehicles are completely different, and the experience of pure electric vehicles from the driving feeling is also more than that of ordinary fuel vehicles. The first is a data that major manufacturers are pursuing: 100 km acceleration, in most of the pure electric models of the promotional page are focused on the 100 km acceleration of their own car, and even BYD also deliberately put the 100 km acceleration performance on the tail plate.
This natural advantage allows the 367,900 Tesla Model 3 Performance to accelerate in 3.3 seconds to 100 kilometers to exceed the BMW M3, which is 2 times faster than its own price. In addition, due to the better acceleration performance, some pure electric models that are biased towards sport tuning are more relaxed in the overtaking process. However, stronger acceleration performance is also a double-edged sword, for some passengers, strong acceleration will bring a certain sense of vertigo, which needs to be taken into account in the car selection process.
Electric cars are also "space magicians"?
Can you imagine that the AION Y has a wheelbase of 90mm more than the CR-V? I was under the impression that while both models were in a compact SUV, the CR-V was much stronger than the AION Y. In fact, the CR-V does have 211mm more than the AION Y in length. The reason for this "illusion" is that AION Y can achieve a shorter front suspension because it is a pure electric model that does not require an engine, so that the front wheel can be pasted forward as much as possible to achieve a longer wheelbase, and because the simple structure of the pure electric model does not occupy too much space in the car, the pure electric model will bring a better space experience in the case of the same size, which can be seen from the third space of models such as AION Y and Xiaopeng P5.
After this week's experience of returning from pure electric models to fuel vehicles, I found that pure electric models still have many advantages over fuel vehicles, especially in terms of "saving money", they are definitely a good hand, so for some specific groups, they are really accustomed to driving pure electric cars and can't go back to fuel vehicles, and this specific group is friends with family piles. So if there are charging conditions, will you choose a pure electric model for these reasons?
Just mentioned a few points, new energy models do occupy an absolute advantage, but some hidden car cost is higher than fuel vehicles, although they will not change the conclusion, but still can not be ignored, so the next article we will talk about electric vehicles Although there are so many advantages, but what are the shortcomings that you can't stand?
