Some people say that electric vehicle owners buy new energy vehicles not to save money, they want a new driving experience, which is really one-sided.
Everyone knows that there is no pressure to buy a car, there is pressure to use a car, and if the fuel cost as a large sector can be perfectly saved during daily use, then for everyone, the attraction is obvious.
The people who spend one or two hundred thousand to buy a car have not yet reached the economic level of not caring about the level of fuel costs, and I have met almost all the people who buy electric cars, and one of the attractions to them is zero fuel consumption.
The accounts are very detailed.
Based on the 15,000-kilometer driving mileage of an ordinary family car, the annual fuel cost is about 9,000 yuan on the basis of the comprehensive fuel consumption of 8L and the average price of No. 92 fuel is 7.5 yuan.
The cost of ten years is about 90,000 yuan, and the mileage of 150,000 kilometers is relatively reasonable.
With this cost in mind, let's proceed to calculate the cost of an electric car.
At present, according to the use habits of most people, part of the charging pile will be charged on the commercial charging pile, part of the charging pile at home, because the cost of the household charging pile is too low can be ignored, according to 15,000 km there are 5,000 km in the commercial fast charging pile charging to analyze.
The average price of electricity per kilowatt hour of commercial charging piles is 1.5 yuan.
Generally speaking, the power consumption of ordinary electric vehicles is about 15 degrees, that is, 5000km needs to be charged about 750 degrees, and the annual external charging cost is more than 1,000 yuan, and the ten years is 10,000.
In a very ideal situation, without any failure of the three-electric system, the ten-year electricity cost of electric vehicles can really be about 80% lower than that of fuel vehicles.
But the truth is not so ideal.
Last year, a friend changed the motor, in 2017, there was a problem with the purchase of a brand of electric vehicle motor, the integrated motor could not be repaired but could only be replaced, a cost of up to 60,000, basically just after the warranty period.
Do not change, can not open, the cost of replacement is too high, and finally consider repeatedly changed the motor.
Fortunately, his battery attenuation is not obvious, only about 3% of the attenuation is still powerful, that is to say, the fuel cost saved in the past 5 years is used to replace the motor at one time.
Although the current technology is very mature, this situation is an isolated case, it is indeed not a large-scale situation, but the battery attenuation, the motor can not be repaired, and the extremely high precision of the electronic control unit under the long cycle of electric vehicles are doomed to the maintenance cost of electric vehicles, especially the main technology of electric vehicles.
Another hidden cost is that insurance costs are also high.
In the event of an accident in a traditional fuel vehicle, even if the cost of changing an engine is only a few thousand yuan, because the aftermarket is huge and mature, the insurance is naturally very economical, but the premium of electric vehicles has continued to rise in the past six months, because the maintenance cost is very high after the accident.
Saying that electric vehicle owners are not trying to save money is really deceiving themselves, more than 100,000 consumers who have budgeted to buy cars have not yet reached the stage of not having to be carefully calculated, insurance, electricity bills are within their calculations.
It's just that some consumers prefer to calculate short-term accounts, and some prefer to calculate long-term accounts.
Three-year, five-year warranty period must be electric vehicles to save money, but after the warranty period If there is a problem with the core components, complex, costly and unable to repair the characteristics of several major components, another one can let the owner know what is meat pain.
