The Spring Festival is approaching, in the coming days of strong wind, cooling and snowfall, what kind of encounters will there be for car owners who want to drive a pure electric car home for the New Year? Recently, some netizens complained that the charging price in the high-speed service area is as high as 2.98 yuan / kWh, and it costs 298 yuan to charge 100 kWh, which is simply more expensive than refueling?
According to the screenshots provided by netizens, the price of the charging pile in the Dayu service area of the Kangda Expressway he passed through showed 2.98 yuan/kWh. According to the current No. 92 gasoline oil price of 6.2-7.71 yuan/liter, the 298 yuan for charging 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity can be used to refuel 40 liters, and this 40 liters of oil can at least make a fuel-powered family car with a fuel consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers run about 570 kilometers. However, what is embarrassing is that a new energy vehicle with 100 kWh of electricity cannot run 500 kilometers in winter.
After experiencing netizens' complaints and rushing to the hot search, an official response said that the price of 2.98 yuan per kilowatt-hour is untrue, and the charging pile that adjusted the price without authorization has been corrected, and the actual electricity price is about 1.4 yuan per kilowatt-hour. And this incident tells us that when we go out to charge, we must carefully identify the charging price and avoid falling into the pit.
Electric vehicle sales decreased by 5.8% y/y, while plug-in hybrid sales increased by 68.2%
Although there will be a large wave of high-voltage pure electric models on the market in 2024, consumers can't wait.
According to the data, in the first three weeks of January 2024, the sales volume of pure electric models in the domestic market was about 236,000 units, with a market share of 17%, a year-on-year decrease of 5.8 percentage points, and the sales of plug-in hybrid models increased by 68.2% to 127,000 units, and the market share increased to 9%.
According to the data of the Passenger Association, the cumulative sales of domestic PHEV models (including plug-in hybrid + extended range hybrid) in 2023 will be 2.592 million units, a year-on-year increase of 82.5%.
Plug-in hybrid models generally use a combination of large battery + engine, which has a long pure electric range to meet daily commuting, and can also be used as a pure electric vehicle without refueling and charging. Although pure electric models have large batteries, long battery life, and low operating costs, they also have range anxiety, and the price is generally higher than that of plug-in hybrid models. With the gradual decline of subsidies, more and more brands have begun to implement multi-power routes, such as BYD, Chery, and Great Wall mainly promote pure electric + plug-in hybrid, while ideal, dark blue, and leap prefer the combination of pure electric + extended range.
Summary:
Every year on the way home during the Spring Festival, there are people complaining about the difficulty of charging, large queues everywhere, bad road conditions, rain and snow, will there be anything different this year? 2024 will still be the world of plug-in and chaos. Many new energy vehicle companies did not usher in the expected start in January this year, and it is foreseeable that during the Spring Festival holiday in February, the sales of the entire auto market will continue to decline significantly. Those brands that have a bad experience with cars and charging may have a harder time.
