Recently, oil prices have soared, the cost of electric vehicle travel is significantly lower, and the characteristics of unlimited green cards and higher technology are superimposed, and more and more consumers are struggling to buy traditional fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles.
In this regard, Tesla's official account yesterday in Zhihu answered, let's see if what it says makes sense.
Tesla mentioned that electric vehicles have more advantages in energy replenishment and maintenance, taking Tesla Model Y as an example, only charging one item can save about 1.2w-1.4w per year. Maintenance can save 2000-5000 yuan per year.
On the issue of second-hand retention rate, the second-hand market price (retention rate) of many electric vehicles is better than that of fuel vehicles, such as Tesla Model 3 and Model Y retention rate has exceeded most of the 200,000-300,000 fuel vehicles.
Tesla also mentioned that buying and using a car is not only about the cost, but also about the car scene and the car environment.
Simply put, it is how much long-distance driving can occupy the proportion of cars, if the proportion is very large, and all involve timeliness, then obviously oil trucks or hybrid vehicles are still the best choice.
Another situation is if you live in a particularly remote area, there is no public charging pile within a few hundred kilometers of the surrounding area, and the household charging pile cannot meet the daily demand, likewise, the gas car or hybrid car is the main choice.
For most people, if they live in the city, or in remote areas, the usual car is basically commuted and short-distance self-driving travel, the total weekly mileage is about 300-500 kilometers; to the current electric vehicle full charge can generally travel 300-400 kilometers, a week to charge 1-2 times to fully meet the week's travel, not only convenient but also very economical.
To sum up, due to the perfect infrastructure of fuel vehicles and the habits of using cars, it will still be more applicable to some people; but for most people, with the continuous improvement of infrastructure and technological innovation, electric vehicles are gradually disappearing, and the advantages of economic convenience are becoming more and more prominent, and they are constantly gaining more and more consumer trust and favor.
In the end, the choice of fuel vehicles or the choice of electric vehicles, the cost should not be the only or most important reason to choose; but consumers really like this product, can bring tangible experience improvement, that is the most important.
