In recent years, the introduction of various policies has continuously increased support for new energy vehicles, and more and more people have begun to choose to buy electric vehicles.
However, with the gradual increase in the coverage of new energy, its disadvantages and problems have slowly emerged.
Take this May Day holiday, it really poured cold water on new energy vehicles, so that the majority of car owners have bitter words.
Holiday travel, the disadvantages of new energy vehicles
First of all, the new energy vehicle has a short battery life.
For new energy vehicles, there is basically a problem of maximum cruising range limit.
In particular, pure electric vehicles are mostly limited to 400-600 kilometers of mileage, and the maximum cruising range of new energy vehicles currently launched on the market can reach 800 kilometers.
There are even car owners who reported that although some new energy vehicles show that they can have a mileage of 800 kilometers, in the actual driving process, they can only reach five or six hundred kilometers, and it is almost impossible to really run to 800 kilometers.
Moreover, according to the real experience of many car owners, it is found that new energy vehicles will consume more power when driving at high speeds. Once on the high speed, the wind resistance increases, and the cruising range will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is often said that oil trucks can save fuel when running at high speeds, but trams running at high speeds will consume more power.
This is really very distressing for car owners who go out on a small holiday, originally wanted to travel beautifully, but basically "mileage anxiety" along the way, which affects the experience of travel.
Especially this May Day holiday, the weather is still relatively hot, the roads are crowded, and the owners of oil trucks turn on the air conditioner to cool and cool, but the owner of the new energy vehicle can only secretly envy, and it will consume more power if there is no way to turn on the air conditioner.
Secondly, new energy vehicles are charging slowly.
The owner of the fuel vehicle basically does not need to consider the battery life, basically fill up a tank of fuel and let go. Even if there is not much fuel, don't worry, there are gas stations in almost every service area, and it is very convenient to fill up a tank of oil in a few minutes.
But electric vehicles are different, the current charging facilities in the service area are not perfect, there are not many charging piles in some places, and some have not even been popularized, which is not proportional to the number of electric vehicles at all.
Although most new energy vehicles have the function of fast charging, it takes more than half an hour for mainstream trams to charge even quickly.
When traveling on holidays, there is a lot of traffic, and the charging pile in the service area is simply not enough, so you can only queue up, and as a result, the charging speed is still slow, consuming a lot of time waiting in the service area.
A car owner complained on the Internet that he planned to return to Hunan from Guangdong during May Day, and the long distance and crowded roads caused a shortage of power halfway. There was no way but to charge in the nearby service area, and as a result, all the charging piles were lined up.
Netizens ridiculed, queuing for 4 hours, charging for 1 hour, the time originally spent on the road directly doubled.
In addition, the cost of replacing batteries for new energy vehicles is high.
With the increase of use time, the battery of new energy vehicles will be lost. According to the current survey, basically when driving for 5-6 years, the new energy vehicle will have to replace the battery once.
However, the cost of the battery is extremely expensive, and some netizens reported that it can reach 70%-80% of the cost of the whole vehicle, which is equivalent to directly changing the car.
Finally, the industrial chain and after-sales of new energy vehicles are not perfect at present and need to be further improved.
All in all, as far as the current social situation is concerned, there are too many inconvenient places for new energy vehicle travel. Before going out, you should first make a battery life plan, and when choosing a route, you should also consider whether the service area can be charged, etc., for those who travel during the holiday, the sense of experience is greatly reduced.
New energy vehicles are also on the rise
But new energy vehicles are not without advantages. Compared with the soaring oil prices, the travel cost of new energy vehicles will be much lower, and daily maintenance will not be required. Moreover, as a current national support project, the purchase of new energy vehicles can enjoy certain car purchase discounts and subsidies.
Therefore, more and more people choose to use new energy vehicles, whether they buy or use it to save money.
In addition, new energy vehicles hardly need to consider the problem of exhaust emissions polluting the environment, so there is no concern about driving restrictions, and driving in urban areas is more convenient than fuel vehicles.
Moreover, because it is almost zero emissions, environmentally friendly, in line with the concept of green travel, it also helps the country to achieve the "dual carbon goal" and achieve sustainable development.
Some cities have replaced public transportation with new energy vehicles, and even restricted the license plates of fuel vehicles, in order to reduce pollution and make cities cleaner and cleaner air.
In this way, the rise of new energy seems to be the general trend.
Statistics show that in the first three months of 2023, the market coverage of new energy vehicles has reached 30%, and it can be said that the development strategy has achieved great results, and the top new energy vehicle companies such as Tesla and BYD have all made a big profit.
It is said that BYD's cumulative sales in the quarter have surpassed Volkswagen and become the first place among many domestic car companies.
It will take time for the full popularization of new energy vehicles
Although the current momentum of new energy vehicles is still good, after all, the market share is not much, and after this small long holiday of travel, I am afraid that more people have to reconsider.
If new energy vehicles want to replace fuel vehicles and achieve full popularization, I am afraid it will take a little time, so this requires the efforts of many parties to continuously improve.
First of all, in the research and development of new energy vehicles, we must put more effort into thinking about how to strengthen its endurance, and how to increase the speed of charging, reduce power consumption, and increase the life of the battery. As long as the problem of "mileage anxiety" is solved, it is bound to promote the development of new energy vehicles.
Secondly, the problem of charging piles needs to be dealt with urgently, and relevant departments should actively implement infrastructure to escort the development of new energy.
All regions should strengthen the construction of charging facilities, fully popularize charging devices, and ensure people's daily use. Places like service areas, which are prone to congestion, can be appropriately increased to reduce everyone's waiting costs.
In addition, the state can increase support for new energy and introduce policies or subsidies that truly benefit people's livelihood, which can naturally drive the development of the industry.
In general, no matter what kind of car you buy, it is everyone's freedom, and everything is based on personal convenience. Although the current development of new energy vehicles is not mature enough, after many efforts to improve, I believe that there will be new progress in the near future, gradually overcome the current shortcomings, and provide everyone with truly convenient and cost-effective services.
Which do you think is more convenient, fuel vehicles or electric vehicles?
