Although the pure electric car market is still in the early stage of development, but with the innate advantages in the cost of the car, driving and riding, has occupied most of the travel market, many cities of the online car, taxi have been replaced by pure electric car, in this regard, WM Motor launched earlier WM E.5 performance is excellent. After tasting the sweetness in the travel market, WM Motors began to try to push WM E.5 to the personal consumption market, so it listed the 2022 new WM E.5, priced at 18.01-19.01 million yuan.
Compared with the 2021 WM E.5 for the online car and taxi market, the 2022 WM E.5 for the personal market has increased by 10,000-20,000 yuan in price, but the factory provides a discount of 10,000 to 40,000 for the first 10,000 car buyers, that is to say, the actual car purchase price is 150,100 yuan and 160,100 yuan, which is relatively reasonable. In addition, the newly launched WM E.5 has not changed much in appearance and interior, and the configuration is as "practical" as ever, compared to the competitor Xiaopeng P5 does not have much advantage, can only barely be enough. In terms of endurance, the new WM E.5 is the same as the old model, NEDC pure electric endurance is still 505km, this endurance performance and Xiaopeng P5 with the car is basically at the same level, but the zero hundred acceleration of about 9 seconds is slightly slower. According to the previous feedback of online car owners, WM E.5 is very cheap to use every day, so the question is, after the launch of a new car for the individual market, will the cost advantage of WM E.5 continue? Who is cheaper than the Xiaopeng P5? Below we will carry out and analyze the three aspects of maintenance, insurance and energy consumption of the two vehicles.
The first-year premium of WM E.5 is 300 yuan more expensive than Xiaopeng P5
2022 WM E.5 launched a total of 2 models, the price of the new car is slightly more expensive than before, according to our investigation and estimates, 2022 WM E.5 in the purchase of 3 million three liability, car damage insurance, compulsory traffic insurance after the purchase of 3 million three main types of insurance, the first year of premium of about 6,000 yuan, if there is no accident in the later use process, the premium will be further reduced, we take the standard premium of the second year 20% off, the third year of 70% off calculation, The total cost of insurance expenses for the three-year insurance cost of the 2022 WM E.5 is about 15,000 yuan, with an average of about 5,000 yuan a year.
We also compare with the Xiaopeng P5 "2021 460G" with a similar price, after purchasing 3 million three major insurance types of three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, the first year premium is about 5700 yuan, and we still calculate the total cost of insurance costs for three years, which is about 14250 yuan, an average of about 4750 yuan a year. It can be seen that the difference in insurance costs between the two cars in the first year is only 300 yuan, mainly because the price of WM E.5 is more expensive.
Maintaining more than 700 cars a year, both cars are quite economical
According to our previous survey, the WM E.5 first warranty needs to be carried out at 3000km or 3 months (whichever comes first), and the first maintenance is free. After that, maintenance is required every 10,000km or 12 months, and the project is routine inspection and replacement of air conditioning filter elements, and the routine inspection fee is free. Some accessories replacement cycle and price: gear oil, antifreeze need to be replaced every 60,000km, the price is 274 yuan, 340 yuan respectively; brake fluid needs to be replaced every 40,000km, the price is 216 yuan; 12V battery needs to be replaced every 40,000km, the price is 667 yuan.
We take the general family car three-year driving 60000km as the car cycle, calculate the maintenance cost of WM E.5, which requires about 2325 yuan, and the average annual need is about 775 yuan.
The first warranty time of Xiaopeng P5 is 5000km or 6 months (whichever comes first), and the maintenance interval after that is 10000km or 12 months. The air conditioning filter element needs to be replaced every 10,000km at a price of 301 yuan; the antifreeze and brake fluid are replaced every 40,000km at a price of 911 yuan. The Cost of Each routine inspection of Xiaopeng P5 is free, which is as thick as the WM E.5.
We continue to take the general family car three-year driving 60000km as the car cycle, calculating the maintenance cost of Xiaopeng P5, which requires about 2117 yuan, and the average annual need is about 705 yuan. In contrast, the maintenance price of WM E.5 and Xiaopeng P5 is basically at the same level, and the annual maintenance cost is only more than 700 yuan, which is very economical to use.
Xiaopeng P5 gives free charging, and the electricity bill is cheaper than WM E.5
WM E.5 NEDC endurance reached 505km, according to our survey, its actual 100 km power consumption is about 14kWh, we use the current household electricity consumption of about 0.56 yuan / kWh, calculating WM E.5 electricity, driving 60000km electricity is 4704 yuan, an average of about 131 yuan per month. The actual electricity consumption of Xiaopeng P5 is 13.6kWh per 100 kilometers, and the electricity cost of 60,000 kilometers for three years is about 4570 yuan, with an average monthly electricity cost of about 127 yuan.
Due to the cheap electricity price, the difference in the cost of electricity between the two cars is not large, but Xiaopeng P5 can enjoy the lifelong free charging service policy of Xiaopeng Automobile, charging at the Xiaopeng Super Charging Station, with a free quota of 1000-3000 kWh electricity per year. Based on the annual gift of 3,000 kWh of electricity, another 1,680 yuan can be saved in three years. Therefore, after xiaopeng P5 travels 60,000 kilometers, it actually only needs 2890 yuan, with an average monthly electricity bill of about 80 yuan, so that Xiaopeng P5 saves about 1800 yuan in electricity costs compared with WM E.5 in three years.
epilogue:
We add up the maintenance cost, insurance cost and energy consumption, we can calculate that the total cost of the WM E.5 driving 60,000km in three years is about 22,029 yuan, an average of about 612 yuan per month; the total cost of the Car for Xiaopeng P5 driving 60,000km in three years is about 19,257 yuan, an average of about 535 yuan per month. It can be seen that the WM E.5 reflected by online car and taxi users before is relatively economical, which is no problem, and the monthly cost is more than 600 yuan, which can indeed save a lot of money for car owners. However, compared with the Main Personal Market Offinancial P5, WM E.5 does not have an advantage in raising cars, and it is about 900 yuan more expensive per year, mainly because of the lack of additional user rights, if it can have the same free charging service as Xiaopeng P5, it is better.
