Honda's performance in the field of fuel vehicles has always been very good, and two small SUVs such as Binzhi and XR-V have a high degree of recognition in the market. In the field of new energy, Honda also chose to start from its own "good" small SUV market this time, and officially listed the first pure electric product of Honda's e:N series e:N1 last night. Its price range is 175,000-218,000 yuan, which overlaps with the Xiaopeng G3i. The popularity of Xiaopeng Automobile in the new energy market is also good, and even the size and endurance of xiaopeng G3i are not much different from honda e:NS1, which makes some consumers who have purchased pure electric small SUVs fall into trouble.
In terms of product strength, the e:NS1 maintains Honda's advantages in handling, and the mileage is also the mainstream level of the times, which can also meet the needs of daily transportation. The auxiliary driving function and interactive function are quite rich, and the appearance is more exquisite than its own fuel vehicle, and it is a household pure electric SUV with good practicality. In addition to the size, endurance and it is similar, one of the core advantages of the current core is intelligence, XPILOT 2.5 automatic driving assistance system can achieve automatic parking, corner cruise and other operations, presumably many young people want to try. A traditional joint venture, a new car-making force, it is difficult to choose from the product strength, that has to start from the cost of the car, may be able to help everyone make a choice.
The cost of insurance at the same price is almost the same?
Among the four models of honda e:NS1, the e-chi version is priced at 189,000 yuan. On the basis of the relatively close price, the configuration is more perfect, and the battery life level is more sufficient, so it is likely to become a hot sale. In order to avoid the impact of large price differences on insurance costs, we selected the 460N model in the Xiaopeng G3i that did not differ much from the e:NS1 model.
In the insurance area, after we choose the three main insurance types of 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, then the insurance cost of purchasing the e-chi version of e:NS1 in the first year is about 5660 yuan. Assuming that there is no accident for three years, the premium will be further reduced, we calculate the standard premium by 20% off in the second year and 70% off in the third year, and the total insurance cost required for three years is about 14160 yuan, and it will cost almost 4720 yuan to a year. Based on the same insurance type of insurance, the insurance cost of Xiaopeng G3i 460N is calculated, and the average annual insurance cost is also about 4720 yuan. It can be seen that because the prices are very close, there is almost no difference in the cost of insurance.
Joint venture brand maintenance, must be more expensive than the new forces?
Although we do not currently have relevant maintenance data for the Honda e:NS1, we can speculate. The maintenance of pure trams is relatively simple, most of them are checked on the three-electric system and chassis, in addition to the need to replace the air conditioning filter, antifreeze, brake fluid and so on regularly. Like the air conditioning filter element is generally 10,000km to replace, while antifreeze, brake fluid is mostly 20,000km to replace, most of the maintenance costs are based on the cost of accessories or inspection costs plus man-hours to calculate. From the perspective of maintenance cycle, the first insurance time of most pure electric SUVs is about 5000km or 10000km, and the maintenance interval after that will be about 10000km. In terms of the cost of general routine inspection, the price of the joint venture brand is more expensive than that of domestic models, about 200-300 yuan. Therefore, calculated by the cycle of a family driving 60,000km in three years, the maintenance cost of e:NS1 for about three years is about 3,000 yuan, and the average annual need is about 1,000 yuan. Moreover, e:NS1 also gives the first car owner three years and 6 free basic maintenance rights at the time of pre-sale, which can reduce a large part of the maintenance burden.

At present, Xiaopeng's maintenance policy is to maintain once every 6 months or 5000km in the first year, a total of two times, followed by 10000km or 1 year maintenance. Overall, the air filter element is replaced every 1 year or 10,000 km, the brake fluid is replaced every 2 years or 40,000 km, and the coolant is recommended to be replaced every 4 years or 80,000 km. General replacement of ordinary accessories plus man-hours costs, about 260 yuan, and to the need to replace the brake fluid, coolant when the big maintenance needs to be replaced, the cost will generally be a little more expensive, about 1200 yuan. In the case of the first insurance free, we calculate the cycle of 60,000km in three years, and the maintenance cost of Xiaopeng G3i for about three years is about 2,600 yuan, and the average is about 866 yuan per year. In comparison, the maintenance cost of e:NS1 seems to be several hundred dollars higher, but if you pre-order it, the maintenance cost can be lower than that of Xiaopeng G3i.

Xiaopeng gives 1000 kWh of electricity, e: NS1 gives 2500 yuan of electricity, who is more fragrant?
Honda e: NS1 e Chi version in the CLTC operating conditions of the cruising range of 420km, because it is a new car on the market, there is no specific measured 100 km energy consumption data, we take the official power consumption of 13.6kWh / 100km for reference. In the way of all household charging piles to supplement energy, according to the household electricity consumption of 0.56 yuan / kWh, calculate the electricity cost of e:NS1 driving 60,000km in three years, about 4570 yuan, an average of about 130 yuan per month. The general measured energy consumption will be higher than the official data, so in theory, e:NS1 will most likely exceed 4570 yuan in electricity bills.

The Xiaopeng G3i 460N has a battery life of 460km under NEDC conditions, and according to our survey, its measured power consumption is about 15.5kWh/100km. Also calculated according to the calculation of 0.56 yuan / kWh of household electricity, in the same charging environment, the electricity cost required by Xiaopeng G3i 460N to drive 60,000km down for three years is about 5,200 yuan, and the average month is about 145 yuan.

According to the way of only filling the energy of household charging piles, the gap between the two in electricity costs is not large. In addition, Xiaopeng G3i and Honda e:NS1 have free charging services, like e:NS1 followed the listing of charging piles free of charge or 2500 yuan charging fee, Xiaopeng G3i is to enjoy 1000 kWh of electricity per year for life free charging services, so the cost of electricity can be further reduced. The difference is that because the e:NS1 new car is on the market, the activity in the charging cost is more intense.
summary
We add up the above maintenance costs, insurance costs and electricity costs to calculate that the cost of Honda e:NS1 driving 60,000km in three years is about 12,300 yuan, and the average annual cost of cars is about 4,100 yuan. Compared with the average annual cost of the Xiaopeng G3i of about 4200 yuan, the gap between the two is almost negligible. It can be seen that in addition to the maintenance cost is not clear, the inspection cost may be relatively high compared to the Xiaopeng G3, there is almost no difference in insurance and electricity costs, they are pure electric SUVs that are very economical to use. Therefore, it can also be reflected that the maintenance of pure electric vehicles of traditional joint venture brands and the "new forces of car manufacturing" are at the same level, as for the final choice of Honda e: NS1 or Xiaopeng G3i can only be determined according to their own needs.
