Generally, family cars travel up to 20,000 kilometers per year, calculated by fuel vehicles 8L/100km fuel consumption, the annual refueling cost is about 15,000 yuan; Tesla Model Y full charge can actually drive 300-400km, 7km/kwh to calculate, 100 kilometers with about 7.3kwh electricity, use 0.5 yuan / kWh home charge a year to spend 744 yuan, use 1.8 yuan / kWh third-party fast charge a year to spend about 2680 yuan.

Of course, in the choice of fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles, it is more about the needs and scenarios of personal cars. Tesla said that if the proportion of long-distance driving is large or there is no home charging and public charging resources, then obviously oil cars or hybrid vehicles are still the best choice.
