In 2023, the market share of new energy vehicles in mainland China has reached 35%, so now if we ask whether we should choose fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles when buying a car, the ideas of the big guys are different, unlike three or four years ago, when they all said that they wanted to buy fuel vehicles.
The reason why people choose to buy new energy vehicles, on the one hand, is because new energy vehicles have more intelligent attributes, and there is a lower cost of use of new energy vehicles, even if it is charged at the charging pile outside, the electricity price per kilowatt-hour is only about one yuan and five cents, which is equivalent to only two cents per kilometer, and the price of fuel vehicles is too big.
For example, some netizens complained that the price of a toll station in Jiangxi is as high as 2.98 yuan per kilowatt-hour, which means that the cost of electric vehicles has reached 6 cents per kilometer, which is about the same as fuel vehicles.
In fact, some netizens said before that the price of the charging pile was too expensive, but the special call also said that it is normal for the price to be higher during the Spring Festival, which is to allow the big guys to charge and avoid charging congestion.
Netizens said that if in order to avoid charging congestion, then it is okay to build more charging piles. Adjusting the price of electricity to 2.98 yuan per kilowatt-hour is not to serve the majority of car owners, it is simply to take advantage of the fire.
In fact, a few years ago, some car critics also made predictions when talking about new energy vehicles. When new energy vehicles gradually become the mainstream, the electricity price of charging piles may increase, and now it seems that these reviewers are indeed right.
Although the recent situation of three yuan per kilowatt-hour is only an example of the Spring Festival transportation period, in fact, the unit price of charging piles in various parts of the mainland has indeed been rising. For example, Shanghai used to have only 1.15 yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity, but now it has become 2.15 yuan. The cost of some charging piles in Anhui and Qingdao has also risen.
The public charging pile outside uses commercial electricity, which is relatively expensive, plus people also have to eat and make money, and the usual maintenance also needs to be cost, so the price will definitely remain high.
New energy vehicles have not yet paid the road maintenance fee, once there are more and more trams, the road maintenance fee must always be paid by someone, can not be all pressed on the fuel car owner, by that time the cost of the tram will be so high that we can hardly imagine.
After all, we are an open market economy, and in the end, everything should be decided by the market. Judging from the current situation, the cost of new energy vehicles is indeed greatly increasing, and there may be consumers who want to buy fuel vehicles.
