The wave of the new energy era has struck, and all kinds of pure electric vehicles have emerged on the market, down to tens of thousands of yuan of Wuling Hongguang mini EV, up to a million yuan of Porsche Taycan. But for consumers with a budget of 100,000 yuan, it is not easy to pick an ideal pure electric SUV. Consumers at this level are mostly looking to buy a car that can cover as many needs and scenarios as possible. SuVs with high passability and large loading capacity are undoubtedly the best choice.
There are about 28 pure electric SUVs on the market priced at 80,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan. Considering that the small SUV has limited loading capacity, so we only look at the compact SUV, so there are only 8 models left. Picking among them, it seems that no one can be satisfied.
To choose a pure electric model, we must first pay attention to the cruising range, which must theoretically reach more than 500km. First, the NEDC mileage marked by the manufacturer is the data of the car evaluation on the workbench. Although the actual driving situation is simulated, it is impossible to fully achieve the real driving situation, and there is a certain amount of moisture in the manufacturer's label data; second, the chemical properties of the battery raw materials are lively, no matter how high-end the electronic control system is loaded, the endurance will be affected by the environment. In the cold winter, the mileage is discounted by 20%, which is a common thing.
A family car travels an average of 20,000 kilometers a year, which is about 400 kilometers per week. A pure electric SUV with a cruising range of 500km can theoretically be charged once a week. Of course, you can also buy an SUV with a cruising range of 400km, so that it only needs to be charged once a week. But suppose you are out of the house this week, or frequently go to dinner and socialize, the sudden increase in travel mileage, and the negligence of forgetting to charge, will seriously affect the travel experience. Therefore, the mileage is still high, and the mileage anxiety is eliminated to the greatest extent.
Among the above 8 pure electric SUVs, 6 have a cruising range greater than (inclusive) 500km. Modern in, Geometry C and BYD Yuan PLUS, these three models with a range of more than 500km, have a minimum starting price of 147,800 yuan, which is nearly one-third of the approved budget, so it is not within the scope of this article. In this way, only three models are left, namely Nezha U, Hechuang Z03 and AINO Y. These three models with a cruising range of more than 500km, with a minimum starting price of 137,600 yuan, are actually not very "gentle". Fortunately, there are rich loan policies, and you can still buy it with your teeth. Of course, the premise is that they are worth it.
Putting aside the design, space and performance, only from the configuration point of view, the Nezha Uzhi 500 lithium iron phosphate version priced at 138,800 yuan is the most cost-effective of the three models.
Equipped with a multi-link independent rear suspension, it is relatively better than the non-independent suspension of the torque beam, which can provide better driving comfort for the vehicle. Nezha U is also equipped with front side airbags, openable panoramic sunroof, electric trunk, remote start, leather steering wheel, electric adjustment of the main passenger seat, front seat heating, automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers, etc., which are slightly better than Z03 and AINO Y in terms of comfort and safety. If you only look at the thickness of the configuration, Nezha U is undoubtedly the first choice, but buying a car can not only focus on the cost performance.
You don't trust the new car-making forces, preferring to favor traditional car companies, so it's no problem to pick BYD Yuan Plus. You appreciate Geely's design language, and you can pick geometric C. If you are willing to increase your budget to choose a high endurance, it is no problem to pick Modern in (610km). In short, no matter what car you buy, you must pick according to your own needs, friends, relatives and KOLs and other guidance, just for reference. But the car is still recommended that you buy a pure electric SUV of about 100,000 yuan, don't care too much about intelligent performance and save costs.
This level of pure electric SUV, although equipped with intelligent configurations such as the Internet of Vehicles, also supports OTA remote upgrades, but due to factors such as cost, it cannot fully realize intelligent control at the driving level. For example, the most cost-effective Nezha U, a model priced at 138,800 yuan, does not have any auxiliary driving systems such as lane departure. BYD Yuan Plus and other models of the same level are also the same as Nezha U. The most important thing is that equipped with these auxiliary driving systems, it is not possible to achieve truly intelligent driving.
A set of qualified intelligent driver assistance system, the minimum hardware requires "camera + radar + AI system". Based on the road condition information collected by the peripherals, the AI system accurately calculates the control commands before issuing them, thus helping the owner to drive more easily. However, in the configuration of the above models, there is no most basic peripherals, and the AI system is even more impossible to talk about. All they have is a high-tech design, a better-handled network configuration, and a driver assistance system like a fuel car. True intelligent assisted driving is almost impossible to achieve on this level of model.
Let's talk about saving money. Many friends buy pure electric vehicles, just thinking that they can save fuel costs. Assuming that the fuel consumption of a fuel vehicle per 100 kilometers is 8L, the annual fuel cost is 13280 yuan, and the total cost in 10 years is 13280 yuan, according to the mileage of 20,000 kilometers per year, and the 8.3 yuan / L of No. 92 gasoline (Beijing area). Charging forms are all commercial electricity, according to the average price of 1.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity, about 15 degrees of electricity consumption per 100 kilometers, the annual external charging cost of 4500 yuan, ten years is only 45000 yuan. If you mainly rely on household charging piles, the annual charging cost may be about 1,000 yuan.
So calculated, the pure electric vehicle that has been driving for 10 years saves at least 87800 yuan compared with the fuel vehicle. Unfortunately, there are two cost risks associated with pure trams.
First, the battery has inevitable attenuation, even if the manufacturer provides warranty services, whether it can be used for 10 years still needs to play a big question mark. If the battery needs to be replaced due to normal decay or accident, the cost is at least one-third of the price of the car. Taking Nezha U, which costs 138,800 yuan as an example, it costs about 50,000 yuan to change a battery. In addition, the replacement cost of equipment such as motors is also a considerable expense. Second, pure electric vehicles are replaced quickly, coupled with the lack of a mature market mechanism, the retention rate is far from that of fuel vehicles.
China Automobile Dealers Association & Jingzhen Estimate released a report on China's automobile retention rate for March. The 3-year retention rate of pure electric vehicles is only 48.4% on average, while the average retention rate of fuel vehicles in 3 years is about 69%. And overall, Tesla, "BBA" and other luxury brands, pure electric vehicle retention rate is more impressive. When you want to sell the pure electric car in your hand, you will inevitably suffer a huge discount loss. In summary, the fuel money saved by driving a pure electric car is actually not much that can be put into your pocket.
Having said so much, to sum up a sentence: buy a car according to your own needs, for a pure electric SUV of about 100,000 yuan, don't have too high expectations.
