According to the news of the micro network, the battery rental (BaaS) transfer buyout plan launched by Weilai has caused controversy among car owners.
Recently, screenshots of online transmission show that in the Weilai APP, the account signed as "User Boss" released the BaaS transfer buyout plan.
According to the plan, NIO will provide the service of terminating the BaaS lease agreement, and the user can replace the new battery at the NIO service center, and need to pay a service fee of 3,000 yuan and the corresponding battery payment. Among them, the cost of the standard battery pack (75/70kWh) is 70,000 yuan, the cost of the long-lasting battery pack (100kWh) is 128,000 yuan, and the service fee of 3,000 yuan includes power battery warehousing logistics, disassembly, testing, etc.
In addition, because the banking and financial company does not support the battery pack loan service, the user can only buy a new loan in full, and does not support the loan mortgage; if the user does not need to replace the new battery, the service fee of 3,000 yuan can be waived.
In the current online outflow of the plan, Weilai Automobile said that the BaaS business is used first and paid later, and the rent previously generated is not refunded, that is, all the rents from the pick-up date to the date of the buyout have been incurred as BaaS costs.
Some car owners and users believe that the current plan to buy out the cost of the battery, Weilai should refund the previously generated rental costs. In addition, some users said that the battery rental cost in the current Baas scheme is too high, which increases the cost of use, and hopes that Weilai will simultaneously reduce the BaaS fee.
But there are also a considerable number of users on the side of Weilai Automobile. This group of users generally believes that Weilai provides a BaaS buyout program, giving car owners a new opportunity to choose, and in the subsequent process of car use, they can no longer pay monthly fees and reduce the cost of use. In addition, the buyout fee proposed by Weilai is consistent with the new car buyout battery, which only covers the battery cost.
