The "myth" of the oil truck, shattered?

China's electric vehicles are developing rapidly, but there are still some netizens in the market who say that China's electric vehicles continue to lose money and can only survive on subsidies, and there is not much strength to speak of. Is that really the case?

The early stage of the birth of any emerging industry must be inseparable from policy support and subsidies, but to say that fuel vehicles are more promising than electric vehicles, I don't really agree with this.

Some time ago, I was talking to a friend about automobiles, and he told me that the current monthly sales of Nissan Sylphy can still reach 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, how can it be said that fuel vehicles are not good? Sylphy sales are still hot, and in addition to Sylphy, Corolla, Lavida these joint venture models also have good sales.

Let's talk about common sense first, often the most popular models of a car company often do not have much profit, for example, Wuling's best-selling model must be Hongguang MINI EV. Is there a huge profit on the Hongguang MINI EV? That's not possible. Similarly, the price of Sylphy, Corolla and Lavida has long been not high, and the lowest price of Sylphy is even only 76,000 yuan, which makes manufacturers how profitable? These entry-level models are more to increase market share, and later these owners are converted into owners of their own higher-end models.

Let's take a look at a set of Honda's sales in 23 years, which is Guangqi Honda's sales as of November. First of all, the Accord is Honda's well-deserved "cash cow", but compared with the same period last year, it is 42,000 units less, and almost 4,000 units less per month.

One of Honda's signature commercial vehicles, which was previously the undisputed champion in the midsize commercial vehicle segment, is also declining, and it is the Odyssey, which has been very popular, with a total of 4,000 fewer units sold in 11 months compared to the same period last year.

Although the absolute number does not seem to be much, you must know that the sales of Odyssey are only about 2,000-3,000 units per month, so it is quite scary to drop 4,000 units.

Many joint venture brands seem to sell well, in fact, many are low-end models relying on discounts to achieve results, but such a trend is certainly difficult to sustain, once these new cars are remodeled, then the price is bound to increase, consumers will continue to choose?

On the other hand, today's electric vehicles, thanks to the modular design of the platform, the new car will roll off the assembly line very quickly, and the quality will get better and better. Although many models are still being sold at a loss, the trend of increasing sales and reducing costs is quite obvious. What's more, the loss is only due to the large amount of investment in the early stage, and it is obvious that time is on the side of the tram, so many fuel car companies are in a hurry to transform.

But unfortunately, there are not many fuel car companies that have successfully transformed, such as Dongfeng Honda, the electric car Pole 1 has sold a total of 4,000 units as of November this year, you must know what the price of this new car has fallen in the terminal market!
