April 22, 2022 is the 53rd Earth Day, and everyone is basking in their low-carbon lifestyle. For example, adhering to public transportation travel, not only to help energy conservation and emission reduction, but also to alleviate traffic congestion, insist on not using disposable tableware, and water flowers with taomi water...
So, how should we protect the planet? Presumably, everyone may think of energy conservation and emission reduction and low-carbon travel for the first time. As a car editor, as a new energy vehicle owner, it may be more of a call for everyone to buy new energy vehicles and use new energy to travel.
No, recently "can new energy save money?" "It has become a hot search, and everyone is discussing that driving a new energy vehicle for a few years can save a fuel car." It just so happens that I am a Tesla Model 3 owner, just combined with their own actual situation to discuss whether new energy vehicles should be bought, in the end how many years can save a fuel car? Let's take a look!
Why choose the Tesla Model 3?
First of all, Xiaobian to talk about why tesla Model 3, in fact, the main reason is to be attracted by the low cost of the car and the "green card" indicators, in the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou, I believe that many small partners are also like me, always in the monthly "small and medium-sized passenger car indicator website" lost.
Of course, if the car purchase budget is in the range of 350,000 yuan, most consumers may prefer bmw 3 series, Audi A4L, or add a little budget to choose Mercedes-Benz C-class. Supplement: Since the use of the scene to meet the daily traffic of the city, Xiaobian personally prefers to choose a car with higher comfort and configuration, so the SUV model in the budget range is excluded.
Next, Xiaobian first analyzes the cost of car purchase to see if it is worth buying Tesla Model 3 today? Due to the rise in raw materials and the rise in new energy premiums, the price of new energy models has risen, so it can only be compared with the 2022 Tesla Model 3 long-endurance version and the 2022 BMW 3 series 320i sports version.
At present, the 2022 Tesla Model 3 long-endurance version guidance price is 279,900 yuan, plus insurance 6,800 yuan, the license fee is 130 yuan, about 287,000 yuan; and the 2022 BMW 3 series 320i sport version guidance price is 293,900 yuan, the price is 7,000 yuan on insurance, the purchase tax is 26,000 yuan, and the license fee is not fixed (the market price is about 3,000 yuan), about 328,000 yuan.
Therefore, if the purchase cost of the car is compared, the purchase of new energy vehicles can enjoy green card indicators, purchase tax reduction and other benefits, if you choose to buy fuel vehicles, considering the "open four stop four", choose the bidding indicators, you may also need to spend an additional 18,000 yuan. On the whole, the purchase of a Tesla Model 3 long-endurance version saves 41,000 yuan compared with the purchase of a BMW 3 Series 320i Sport Edition, and the choice of bidding indicators saves 59,000 yuan.
Is the cost of new energy vehicles really lower than that of fuel vehicles?
It can be seen that if you only look at the cost of car purchase, the purchase of new energy vehicles is advantageous. Then we continue to analyze the cost of the car, or to tesla Model 3 and BMW 3 series for comparison, to see who saves more money on new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles.
In fact, when it comes to the cost of using a car, it mainly involves electricity/fuel, maintenance and insurance.
Taking electricity charges as an example, at present, the standard electricity fee in Guangzhou's basement is 0.647 yuan / kWh, while the average price of commercial fast charging fees is 1.3 yuan / kWh, the average price of commercial slow charging fees is 1.6 yuan / kWh, and Tesla overcharge is basically doubled, about 2 yuan / kWh. Combined with the current statistical data, tesla Model 3 hundred public electricity cost is about 10 yuan, according to 1 year driving 20,000 kilometers estimated, Tesla Model 3 a year of electricity cost of about 2,000 yuan. Coupled with insurance of 8,000 yuan and maintenance of 560 yuan, Tesla's annual car cost is 10,000 yuan.
Looking at the fuel cost of bmw 3 series, at present, Guangzhou 92 gasoline is 8.32 yuan, No. 95 gasoline is 9.01 yuan, No. 98 gasoline is 10.15 yuan, and bmw 3 series has measured comprehensive fuel consumption of 9.07 liters / 100 km. If you use No. 95 gasoline, the annual fuel cost of the BMW 3 Series is about 16,000 yuan, plus maintenance of 2,200 yuan and insurance of 7,000 yuan, and the annual cost of the car is about 25,000 yuan.
Remarks: Tesla Model 3 replaces the brake fluid once every 2 years for 40,000 kilometers, costing 760 yuan; four-wheel positioning every 2 years for 40,000 kilometers, costing 960 yuan; it is recommended that the four-wheel station and dynamic balance be changed once a year for 20,000 kilometers, costing 560 yuan; replacing the desiccant for 120,000 kilometers in the sixth year, costing 1360 yuan, and replacing the coolant for 80,000 kilometers in the fourth year is 740 yuan.
BMW 3 Series recommends a small maintenance once a year or 10,000 kilometers, that is, basic oil change maintenance, including oil, machine filter, and working hours of about 1100 yuan. In 3 years or 8-100,000 kilometers of a large maintenance, that is, in addition to the basic oil change maintenance, such as the replacement of transmission oil, brake oil, spark plugs, gasoline grids, etc., the cost is about 3,000 yuan.
Choose a household charging pile, perhaps considering the cost of installing a charging pile, usually the price of a set of household charging pile equipment will range from 2000-5000 yuan, of course, there are DC fast charging piles, the price is generally in the range of 15000-20000 yuan, plus the cost of laying wires 2000-3000 yuan, about 4000-23000 yuan range.
Therefore, just the cost of oil and electricity, new energy compared to the cost of fuel vehicles, indeed has a good advantage. So why do many netizens and media come to the conclusion that buying new energy vehicles is a loss after analysis?
Is the retention rate of new energy vehicles generally lower than that of fuel vehicles?
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, or return to the beginning of the "driving a few years can save a fuel car?" "This is the problem above. If you want to calculate the total cost of ownership of a car, you need to take into account the depreciation loss (retention rate), and the retention rate of fuel vehicles is basically higher than that of new energy.
Take the Tesla Model 3 long-endurance version and the BMW 3 Series 320i Sport Edition as examples. According to the retention rate data of "Jelan Road", the tesla Model 3 retained a value retention rate of 67.9% in the first year, while the BMW 3 series retained a value retention rate of 84.32% in the first year. In other words, if you buy a Tesla Model 3, you will lose 89,800 yuan in the first year, and buy a BMW 3 series in the first year of a loss of 46,000 yuan. It can be seen that the retention rate of bmw 3 series is much higher than that of Tesla Model 3, and if you count the comprehensive cost, you will lose 32,200 yuan in the first year of buying a Tesla.
Through statistical data, we can draw such a conclusion: if the above trend predicts, according to the new car 1 year driving 20,000 kilometers estimated, Tesla Model 3 and BMW 3 series in the first three years, is bmw 3 series more economical; after more than 3 years, Tesla Model 3's money-saving advantage will be more and more, to the sixth year, is to save 42,500 yuan, to the 10th year, is to save 118,400 yuan, can save a Nissan Xuanyi.
Auto network review: new energy is the trend of the times, in the long run to consider buying new energy or more cost-effective
In general, driving a new energy vehicle for 3 to 4 years is basically the same as the total holding cost of the oil vehicle, and with the higher the price of the new energy vehicle, the more the loss. Therefore, Xiaobian suggests here that users who plan to change cars in 3-4 years are still recommended to buy fuel vehicles, and users who plan to change cars in 6-7 years and above are recommended to buy new energy vehicles.
Finally, combined with the normal use cycle of a car, most users will not consider changing cars within 3-4 years, if the time is extended, with the continuous popularization of new energy models, it is believed that the retention rate of new energy will return to normal levels. Therefore, new energy vehicles can still save money compared with fuel vehicles.
