Joint Original: EV Car Life & Used Car Fat said
Editor-in-charge: Wang Shuaiqi (a post-95 auto editor)
The electric vehicle market is gradually strengthening, more and more people are buying electric vehicles, and the topic of who saves money on electric vehicles and fuel vehicles has also been debated. Based on this, EV Car Life and Used Car Xiao Fat jointly launched a new column based on the comprehensive calculation of daily car cost + second-hand car use depreciation cost to calculate the real cost of vehicle use. ）
This is our 6th phase of the comprehensive vehicle cost evaluation, the previous phases involved fuel, electric, hybrid, range and other energy forms, fuel vehicles and new energy tricks also have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Then in this issue, at the request of netizens, we will target the comprehensive cost PK of electric vehicles and electric vehicles, and the model has also selected two cars with a relatively hot level of 300,000, the Xiaopeng P7 and the new BMW i3. Xiaopeng P7 naturally needless to say, sales prove everything, and the high-value appearance has also been deeply recognized by the market.
The new BMW i3 is completely different from the previous old i3, it is based on the BMW 3 series to create a "oil to electricity" product, and produced by BMW Brilliance, and the previous pure electric platform + import identity is completely different. But the new BMW i3 is more practical, more space and more powerful. At the same time, bmw i3 also has the blessing of the blue sky and white cloud brand, so the showdown between the two cars is also very exciting.
The BMW i3 currently has only one model, which is an eDrive 35 L priced at 349,900 yuan; the closest model to the Xiaopeng P7 and i3 is the 670E+ Black Label Edition, priced at 329,900 yuan, and this special edition model was also launched by Xiaopeng for 100,000 units of the P7 off-line not long ago.
In fact, before calculating the cost, we can predict that as an electric vehicle, the two cars will not be too different in energy consumption, and their main cost is still different from the second-hand car damage and maintenance, etc. Let's see the results together.
Comparing the standard, we still continue to use 3 years and 60,000 kilometers as the standard for conventional vehicles (standardized and equivalent use status comparison). In the future, we will continue to enrich the comparative dimensions, such as parameters such as 120,000 kilometers in 6 years, so stay tuned.
The cost of daily use of cars is highly close, and the gap can be ignored!
In terms of daily car costs, we first calculate Xiaopeng P7, which is still maintenance, insurance and energy consumption, let's talk about maintenance first.
In terms of maintenance, the Xiaopeng P7 is free of charge for the first 5,000 km routine inspection, and then every 10,000 km from 10,000 km. According to official tips, it is recommended to replace the air conditioning filter for each maintenance, and at 40,000 kilometers, it is necessary to replace the transmission oil, brake oil, and antifreeze. In summary, xiaopeng P7 in 3 years and 60,000 kilometers of working conditions, the maintenance cost of 3155 yuan, small maintenance is 374 yuan.
In terms of premiums, Xiaopeng P7 670E + Black Label Edition in the case of 1 million of the three, commercial insurance is about 6667 yuan, compulsory traffic insurance is 950 yuan, the total premium is 7617 yuan, and the total premium for 3 years is about 19043 yuan (in the case of no insurance, the next year is calculated by 20% discount, and the third year is calculated by 30% discount). Since it is a pure electric model, the Xiaopeng P7 does not have a car and boat use tax.
In terms of energy consumption, the use scenario we set is still 80:20. Xiaopeng P7 official 100 km electricity consumption is 13.5kWh, slow charging fee in Beijing as an example, 0.4883 yuan / kWh; fast charging is calculated in the most expensive time period of the State Grid, which is 1.8 yuan / kWh. Through calculations, it is known that under the use of 60,000 kilometers, the slow charge costs about 3164 yuan, and the fast charge costs about 2916 yuan, a total of 6080 yuan.
Comprehensive calculations, the daily use cost of 60,000 kilometers in 3 years of Xiaopeng P7 is about 28278 yuan, an average of only 0.47 yuan per kilometer, which is indeed a lot of savings compared with fuel vehicles.
So next, let's take a look at how much the BMW i3, as a luxury brand, is in terms of daily car costs.
The following are the maintenance costs of the BMW i3:
Compared with the Xiaopeng P7, the official maintenance cycle of the BMW i3 is 20,000 km interval, and the brake oil needs to be changed at 60,000 km. Although the maintenance cycle of P7 is not as short as the number of times, the single maintenance cost of BMW i3 is higher, small maintenance needs 950 yuan, 3 years and 60,000 kilometers maintenance costs 3150 yuan, which is very close to Xiaopeng P7, only 5 yuan difference.
In terms of premiums, bmw i3 eDrive 35 in the case of 1 million of the three, commercial insurance is about 6923 yuan, compulsory traffic insurance is 950 yuan, the total premium is 7873 yuan, and the total premium for 3 years is about 19683 yuan (in the case of no insurance, the next year is calculated by 20% discount, and the third year is calculated by 30% discount). Similarly, the BMW i3 does not have a vehicle and boat use tax.
In terms of energy consumption, bmw i3 official 100 km power consumption is 14.3kWh, is still slow charging and fast charging according to the ratio of 80:20, slow charging price is 0.4883 yuan / kWh, fast charging price is calculated according to 1.8 yuan / kWh. Through calculations, it is known that under the use of 60,000 kilometers, the slow charge costs about 3352 yuan, and the fast charge costs about 3089 yuan, a total of 6441 yuan.
Comprehensive calculations, the daily use cost of 60,000 kilometers in 3 years of BMW i3 is about 29272 yuan, an average of only 0.49 yuan per kilometer. Compared with the Xiaopeng P7, the BMW i3 is actually only a thousand yuan difference in the daily car cost of 60,000 kilometers in 3 years, which is almost negligible for more than 300,000 cars.
It is not difficult to understand that the same as electric cars, similar car prices, similar energy consumption, the cost of nature can not pull too much. Therefore, the two cars can really open the gap, but also depends on the retention rate of the second-hand car. Seeing this, many small partners may think that bmw i3 is about to win, but is it really so? Read on.
3 years 60,000 km used car loss Who can win?
For the retention rate of these two cars, it is still the data analysis brought by the second-hand car fat.
In terms of the retention rate of electric vehicles, in fact, there are some differences with fuel vehicles, especially in some special cases, which are completely contrary to the original logic of the idea, and the brand value and configuration advantages in fuel vehicles are subverted in electric vehicles.
From the perspective of the configuration of the two cars, according to the principle of price approximation, the BLE version of xiaopeng P7 seems to be more attractive to young people, and bmw i3 in addition to the blue sky and white cloud logo does not seem to have any special advantages from the data, perhaps some people say that the workmanship and materials, but for the young customer base of electric vehicles and customers who do not know so much about cars, lack of air to keep tires, panoramic sunroof, induction wipers and other configurations that are not used much, not as good as XPoilt, and BMW's a bunch of "installation" The gift package makes many post-90s customers feel quite "chicken thief".
If you do not consider the influence of the brand, the configuration and appearance of xiaopeng P7 are very intimidating and tempting.
Judging from the loss of the retention rate of second-hand cars, BMW's loss of points is indeed unexpected by many users, but the historical performance of the second-hand car circle is known to insiders.
Xiaopeng P7, the market share is acceptable, the "number of roads" of Internet marketing and the "hedging illusion" of officially certified second-hand cars are still OK, so the current market data prediction analysis, 3 years and 60,000 kilometers are basically more than 50% off, and BMW i3 is more miserable, 3 years 60,000 kilometers fell nearly 60% of the value, the retention rate performance to BMW as a whole is very stretched.
The reason is actually not difficult, after all, the first generation of BMW i3, the current status quo of the second-hand car market is a high-end "old scooter", when the official guidance price was launched that year, 400,000 +, and then the market could not be sold 200,000 +, the pricing was too outrageous, and Audi's e-tron of the year had a fight, coupled with a large number of batch car sources, the short-term impact on the market is very obvious, the manufacturer's official certification of the second-hand car also has no way to "save" the collapse of the word of mouth, after all, charging 8 hours, endurance 250km, It's really embarrassing, it's very anxious.
The design is more avant-garde, the material is more cute, but after all, it is not BMW i8, and people are not afraid of the second-hand car falling, the user of this price point, not to mention not bad money, not bad money to buy Rolls Royce.
If bmw i3 or in accordance with the original pricing and sales ideas, used car performance is difficult to pass, high pricing fast price reduction low value preservation, the final result is still not able to sell, perhaps just started positioning is the "reserve team guinea pig" is not going to sell well, but for the BMW i series electric vehicles as a whole caused by the impression is not good.
So 3 years and 60,000 kilometers down, the depreciation of Xiaopeng P7 is significantly less than BMW i3, who said that the new forces and independent brands are not as high as the BBA retention rate, subdivision field, BMW also has "bad running" cars, the reality is still very telling.
Although BMW has a history of excellent performance in many aspects such as maintenance service outlets and brand value, compared with the BMW i3 car and the Xiaopeng P7, the gap is still obvious and a bit disappointing.
Xiaopeng P7 clearly wins! Bmw i3 itself "demon"!
In the end, the Xiaopeng P7 defeated the BMW i3 with a large advantage.
In fact, it is not difficult to see that the two cars are relatively low in the cost of daily use, and they are very close, but back to the second-hand car loss, the two cars have a relatively large gap, which is also ignored by many consumers when buying a car.
The annual depreciation cost loss of 60,000 or 70,000 yuan is actually not low for a car of more than 300,000 yuan, so it is necessary to consider clearly when buying a car.
If someone wants to pull out the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, compare again, welcome to leave a message, more than 10 people raise their hands.
In the future, with the market changes, it is still unknown whether the retention rate of the two cars will change. Ten years of Hedong and ten years of Hexi, ten years ago I said that BYD's retention rate is higher than BMW, it is estimated that it will be sprayed to death by netizens, and now, everything may have changed.
From the current point of view, compared to the blue sky and white cloud standard of the face project, I recommend the more pragmatic Xiaopeng P7. After all, making money is not easy!
