The old Han EV raises to save money, the new endurance and price have risen, can the car still be saved?

BYD Han EV has always been one of the most popular models in the family, as BYD's flagship model, the old Han EV has accumulated a lot of reputation for the BYD brand with a refreshing "Longyan" design and good product power. Following the replacement of the "Dynasty" series of products, the new Han EV has been on the market for some time. At the same time, its price has also increased a lot compared to before, compared with the starting price of the old model of 214,800 yuan, the starting price of the new Han EV Genesis Edition has reached 269,800 yuan.

After the threshold is about 55,000 yuan higher, it can be seen that the most obvious improvement is the mileage of the new Han EV. Like the new Han EV, the endurance of the two models is as high as 715km, which greatly alleviates the problem of consumers' battery life anxiety. And the four-wheel drive version of the model only takes 3.9 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers, which is very eye-catching for a medium and large car with a body length of nearly 5 meters. In addition, the new Han EV continues the superior appearance and rich configuration level of the old model, not only equipped with suspension soft and hard adjustment functions for the four-wheel drive model, but also equipped with electric trunk, HUD head-up digital display and Tanner audio and other configurations. The original old Han EV has been relatively "powerful" in terms of configuration, and the new model has also made a lot of progress in configuration after the price increase. It's just that the original HanEV has advantages over the same level of fuel vehicles and vehicles, after upgrading the "price increase", what changes will it have in the cost of using the car? Let's compare the cost of the car for the old Han EV to analyze.

The starting price is much more expensive, but the insurance cost does not make much difference?

The new Han EV Genesis Edition is priced at 269,800 yuan, with a range of up to 715km, and the configuration is also quite rich. Among the old Han EV, the price of the ultra-long endurance premium type is 260,800 yuan, and the heat is also very good. While it has a 605km endurance level, the configuration level is also relatively close to the front-drive honor model of the new Han EV, so we use these two models as the insurance calculation object.

The new Han EV Genesis Edition Precursor Premium Type has a premium of about 6,550 yuan for the first year after purchasing 3 million three major insurance types: three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance. Among them, 3 million three liabilities are about 2200 yuan, car damage is about 3400 yuan, of course, the three liability insurance can be chosen by themselves, and the actual insurance cost needs to be determined in combination with the actual situation of the local insurance company. If there is no accident in the later use process, the premium will be further reduced, we calculate based on the standard premium of 20% off in the second year and 30% off in the third year, the total cost of the new Han EV Genesis Edition precursor premium three-year insurance is about 16375 yuan, with an average of about 5460 yuan a year. In the same way, the insurance cost of the old Han EV ultra-long endurance premium type is calculated, and it will cost about 16125 yuan on the insurance cost after three years, and the average annual insurance cost is about 5380 yuan. It can be seen that the difference between the two in insurance costs is only about 80 yuan, mainly because the prices of the two models are relatively close, if the entry model of the old Han EV is compared with it, the gap may be larger.

Newer models are more expensive to maintain than older models?

Because there is no fuel engine and gearbox, most of the maintenance of pure trams is still based on inspection, so whether it is a new Han EV or an old Han EV, there is no particularly large gap in maintenance items. According to the maintenance manual of the new Han EV, its first warranty is carried out at 3 months or 5000km (whichever comes first), and the main items include the inspection of the chassis, braking system, and battery pack. Follow-up like ordinary filter every 1 year or 20,000km regular inspection, if necessary to replace, generally this working hour cost plus accessories cost is about 300 yuan. The brake fluid needs to be changed every 2 years or 40,000 km, and the first change cycle of the gear oil is the same as that of the brake fluid, but the follow-up needs to be carried out every 2 years or 48,000 km. Antifreeze replacement is less frequent and only needs to be carried out every 4 years or 100,000 kilometers.

Therefore, we calculate the cycle of 60,000km in three years for the average family, and the new Han EV only needs to replace the gear oil and brake fluid 2-3 times, the antifreeze only needs to be replaced once, and most of the rest are inspections and replacement of small accessories. Referring to the cost of replacing the parts and working hours of the old Han EV, in the case of free first insurance, the cost of maintenance of the new Han EV in about three years is about 2500 yuan, an average of about 833 yuan per year.

The first maintenance cycle of the old Han EV is 6 months or 7500km. The maintenance project covers the basic battery pack health status inspection and high-voltage line detection, and the cost is about 280 yuan. Generally, new cars will be given free first insurance, so the first maintenance is free of charge. And such as the replacement of brake fluid, antifreeze and other large maintenance projects, the maintenance cycle is consistent with the new model, like the brake fluid and gear oil for the first time to replace are carried out in 2 years or 40,000 km, gear oil subsequent replacement cycle is also every 2 years or 48,000km. Antifreeze is also changed every 4 years or 100,000 km. Or based on the average family three-year driving cycle of 60,000km to calculate, the maintenance cost of the old Han EV for three years is about 2,000 yuan, an average of about 666 yuan per year. It is worth mentioning that the 2020 Han EV has a free three-year or 6-time routine maintenance when the new car is listed, as long as it is the first non-operating owner can enjoy, and the maintenance cost can be further reduced, which is not comparable to the new Han EV.

The battery capacity is increased, but the power consumption is similar?

Most of the consumers who can buy Han EV have good economic strength, and in addition to the necessary commuting, most of them will also have the situation of going out to charge. However, in order to facilitate the calculation, we calculate its electricity bill in extreme cases only by using the energy supplement method of the household charging pile. According to user feedback, the old Han EV ultra-long endurance premium type of measured 100 km of electricity consumption in about 14.7kWh, we to the current household electricity consumption of 0.56 yuan / kWh to calculate, it three years to drive 60000km needs about 4940 yuan, the average monthly electricity bill only needs about 137 yuan.

The new Han EV Genesis Edition precursor honor model has not been on the market for a long time, and there is no specific 100-kilometer power consumption data, we can only speculate based on its product situation. In addition to the increase in intelligent configuration will affect its 100 km power consumption, the longer cruising range will also lead to an increase in body weight, thereby increasing more power consumption. According to the official parameter information, the 2020 ultra-long endurance premium model is nearly 100km less than the endurance (NEDC working conditions), and the 2021 standard endurance version deluxe version has a 0.2kWh higher power consumption than 100 kilometers. Therefore, the new Han EV front-drive Honor model is expected to reach about 15kWh/100km on the basis of increasing the cruising range by about 100km (CLTC working conditions). Also calculated by 0.56 yuan / kWh of household electricity, the electricity cost required for driving 60,000km for three years is about 5,040 yuan, and the average monthly electricity bill is about 140 yuan.

summary

We add up the estimated maintenance costs, insurance costs and electricity costs, and we can get that the total cost of the new Han EV driving 60,000km in three years is about 23,900 yuan, an average of about 666 yuan per month. The cost of the old Han EV for three years is about 23065 yuan, and the average month is about 640 yuan, and there is almost no big gap between the two in terms of car use. It can be seen that the new Han EV still maintains the advantage of "saving" in the cost of the car, even if the starting price increase is higher, but the improvement of battery life and the increase of configuration still make it have a strong product force.
