In the past, what would people think when it came to used cars? Old, tattered, or not lined up? Although this concept still exists in large quantities at present, with the gradual maturity of the second-hand car market, there are more people who buy used cars today. It is worth mentioning that this not only exists in the traditional fuel used car market, but also in the new energy used car market.
Perhaps affected by the rising price of new energy, some people who want to buy new energy vehicles have begun to turn their attention to the second-hand car market. According to many second-hand car platforms, in recent times, the number of customers who buy and consult new energy used cars online has increased significantly, and the number of related customers has 30 to 50 times a day, and this number has been 3 to 5 times that of the previous year, while the sales volume of new energy second-hand cars is 3 times that of last year, which can be described as a relatively rapid development.
Coincidentally, Tesla also broke out the phenomenon that used cars sold more expensive than new cars two days ago. It is reported that a Tesla used car in Shenyang, 2021 Model Y, its used car certification price reached 333600 yuan, while the price of the new Model Y 2022 model on Tesla's official website is only 316900 yuan.
As a very hot brand at the moment, Tesla's second-hand car can be 16700 yuan more expensive than the new car, which is still quite surprising, after all, the new energy used car is always complained about "low residual value". However, at present, some consumers think that it is quite fragrant to buy second-hand cars at a higher price, because the current situation in the new energy market is so, even many new forces have to queue up to buy cars, not to mention that Tesla's new cars need to wait for 3 months.
But then again, the heating up of the new energy used car market is actually predictable. To say why the previous market situation is not good, it is also inseparable from the amount of ownership, especially compared with the fuel vehicle market that has existed for many years, the ownership of new energy vehicles is almost negligible, since there is no good car to choose from, it naturally creates a depression in this market. However, with the growth of the storm of new energy vehicles, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Public Security, the current ownership of new energy vehicles in the mainland has reached 8.915 million. This means that in a few years at most, after a new batch of centralized new cars enters the second-hand market, the sales of second-hand cars will definitely usher in new opportunities, and the price will become more rational.
Of course, because the new energy used car market is not yet mature, it has more thorny problems than fuel used cars.
In fact, the biggest difference between new energy vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles is the motor technology and battery, fuel vehicles can maintain a super high retention rate because the most important three parts of the parts are not easy to wear, as long as there is no accident basically can maintain normal driving, and the cost of replacement after the wear of other parts is not high, so many fuel vehicles can maintain a high retention rate even after two or three years.
On pure electric vehicles, the biggest problem is the loss of the battery. Due to the limitations of current battery technology, the battery pack is particularly susceptible to aging. The warranty time of general new energy vehicles is only three years or millions of kilometers, and beyond this time or kilometers, the loss of the battery will have to be borne by itself.
In addition, in the cost of replacing the battery pack, it is not something that we ordinary people can afford. The battery life of the general pure electric vehicle is about 4-6 years, and 40% of the cost of an electric vehicle is the battery cost, and the cost of replacing the battery without subsidies is generally as high as tens of thousands, and even the cost of some battery pack replacement exceeds the purchase of a new car.
In addition to the reasons for battery technology, the demonization methods of car companies are also one of the reasons for reducing the retention rate. Compared with the traditional fuel vehicle, the maintenance cost of pure electric vehicles is undoubtedly much higher, and most of the vehicles that have problems are repaired in the places designated by the manufacturer. However, once the new energy vehicles of some car manufacturers pass through the household, they will no longer enjoy the manufacturer's warranty. This will be the next owner to take over the pit is not light, although your car may be no problem, but in such a situation, who is willing to spend a lot of money to buy second-hand new energy vehicles?
Editor's note
All along, new energy used cars have not been favored by consumers because of low residual value and other issues. However, due to the impact of the current market, the rising oil price, the tight supply of raw materials, and the decline in subsidies have made more and more consumers also consider second-hand cars. However, it is worth noting that new energy used cars have completely different characteristics of traditional fuel vehicles in terms of value assessment, product standards, software upgrades, etc., so this market is not mature, and it is also necessary to improve the relevant standards as soon as possible in order to promote the healthy development of new energy used cars.
