The car is still driving, but the car company is gone! 160,000 new energy stock owners are in trouble, how to avoid pitfalls?

Some people are gone when they walk, and some car manufacturers are open and closed.

So, for those car companies that have closed their doors, what should we do with the cars we buy?

According to the statistics of the China Automobile Dealers Association, there are currently about 160,000 car owners facing the dilemma of "the car is still driving, but the car company is gone".

As ordinary consumers, how should we avoid lightning?

1. Are you among the 160,000 stock car owners?

According to the data of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the stock of new energy vehicle owners who have filed for bankruptcy or have not produced for a long time is about 160,000 units.

Norway, the main electric vehicle city in Northern Europe, will only sell 104,600 electric vehicles in 2023.

Actually, this figure is still a bit conservative.

For example, Zhidou, which has a deep kinship with Geely Automobile, sold more than 100,000 vehicles before 2019, and WM Motor, which is currently in bankruptcy and reorganization, sold more than 80,000 new cars in the three years from 2019 to 2021.

And that's not even counting the smaller factories that no one knows about when they leave home halfway.

In addition, the figure of 160,000 vehicles is expected to increase significantly, because China's new energy market has entered a period of elimination, and there will be more car companies that are closed, stopped, merged and transferred.

2. Why is it more harmful for new energy vehicle companies to be "gone"?

In fact, it is not only new energy manufacturers that have disappeared in recent years, but also many traditional fuel vehicle manufacturers, such as the "tape measure department" Zotye, which was also a prince with annual sales of 300,000 vehicles at its peak.

However, it should be noted that the disappearance of new energy vehicle companies will hurt consumers more than fuel vehicles.

This is first of all because new energy vehicles are new, the parts supply chain is not stable, the specifications between different manufacturers are not uniform, and the independent third-party after-sales service network is not perfect. Once the car manufacturer goes out of business, the owner can't buy parts if he wants to repair the car himself.

Secondly, new energy vehicles are a little different from fuel vehicles, many of them are equipped with intelligent operating systems and intelligent driving systems, once the manufacturer stops operating, no one in the background maintenance, upgrades, its models may directly become "bricks".

Moreover, there are relatively few technical personnel related to new energy vehicles, and car owners want to repair their cars, even if they finally find accessories, it is very troublesome to find skilled technicians to repair their cars.

If you want to find someone to repair the engine, you can find it in any auto repair shop, but at this stage, it is not easy to find a master who repairs the power battery.

3. How to avoid pitfalls?

At present, industry insiders generally believe that the competition in China's new energy vehicle market will be more fierce in the next few years.

So, as an ordinary consumer, how to avoid lightning? Here are two tips.

First of all, when buying a car, you should first look at the brand, and give priority to choosing a car company with a larger scale, a longer operating time and a better reputation.

The cars of large car companies are not necessarily the best, but they are generally more "stable" than small manufacturers, and even if there is a problem in the operation, someone will take over.

Secondly, you should always pay attention to the news of the new energy vehicle industry, if you have a fancy to the model of a certain car company, but the company has continuous negative news, or is not doing business, in the clouds, this kind of car company best need to pay attention.

In fact, this is a common-sense problem, those who have not been updated for a long time, dealers who withdraw from the network at every turn, and change the head at every turn, are all signs of unclear prospects, even if they are not bankrupt, they should stay away from them.

4. What should we do if we really run into it?

New energy vehicle manufacturers suddenly "ran away" this thing, we can often hear in recent years, and even say, some brands have reported the news of bankruptcy, people only know that there is such a brand, I haven't bought it, you won't do it?

After several years of elimination, there are fewer and fewer such brands, those who can be eliminated have been eliminated, and those who can survive are somewhat foundational.

Theoretically, the chances of consumers being cheated are much smaller than in previous years.

But the risk still exists, think about it, Hyundai and Kia, the two difficult brothers, were still Korean duo in 2016. Therefore, the new energy brands that are still surviving will have a big game if they don't have an accident.

So what if you do encounter this kind of thing?

First of all, we should actively seek out the local market supervision department and consumer rights protection organization to protect their rights.

According to the Measures for the Administration of Automobile Sales, which came into effect in 2017, automakers should ensure the supply of spare parts and after-sales service for at least 10 years after discontinuing or discontinuing sales.

Secondly, it is the second best way to find some professional third-party institutions when the manufacturer does not care.

With the development of new energy vehicles, a large number of third-party vehicle repair and maintenance institutions specializing in serving new energy vehicles will also appear.

But again, the best way is to pay attention to screening and don't encounter these things.

Conclusion:

At present, the new energy market is not mature, and there are many kinds of chaos, so it is strongly recommended that consumers need to have a few more eyes when buying a car. Remember one sentence: Don't be greedy for cheap! Finally, there is an interactive question: If there are some models from unpopular small manufacturers that are sold at ultra-low prices, will you give up the big brands and choose?
