"I've been buying this car for three years, and I was very hesitant when I bought it at first, but now I calculate it compared with fuel vehicles, and the gap is still relatively large. ”
Xiao Zhao, who usually drives a new energy electric car, said to his friend.
Indeed, with the advent of the new energy wave, many people will prefer electric vehicles when buying cars, rather than fuel vehicles that cost hundreds of yuan more every time they refuel.
Xiao Zhao originally had the idea of saving gas costs and bought the second car in his life.
1. Do new energy vehicles really save money compared to gasoline vehicles?
Xiao Zhao, who has been driving new energy vehicles for 3 years so far, feels that he has a say in this issue, especially since the first car he drove before was still fuel, which is more convenient to compare.
According to Xiao Zhao's feelings, that is, compared with the fuel fee, the cost of charging the car is relatively cost-effective.
Xiao Zhao lives in an apartment with commercial electricity, and the electricity bill is usually more than 1 yuan, and if he returns to his rural home, the electricity bill per kilowatt-hour is more than 5 cents.
When Xiao Zhao was driving, the power consumption per 100 kilometers would be less than 20% at the beginning, but with the increase of the "age" of the car, the power consumption also increased.
Generally, the cost of charging new energy vehicles within a year will be about 2,000 yuan, while fuel vehicles are calculated at a price of 7 yuan per liter of No. 92 oil, and the annual refueling cost is about 10,000 yuan.
Many people who did the same calculation as Xiao Zhao shouted, "It's so fragrant!" I feel that it is a wise move to buy a new energy vehicle. So, what are the facts?
Xiao Zhao has actually discovered the gap.
One of the key points is that in order to make it more convenient when charging, Xiao Zhao spent thousands of yuan to configure charging piles that are said to be of good quality.
If this money is used for refueling, it can also be added several times.
The main reason is that the time required for fuel vehicles to refuel is shorter, while the time cost of charging new energy vehicles will be much higher.
In addition, after the display is fully charged, it is really used for mileage, which was originally said to be able to run a range of 600 kilometers, but it may only reach about 400 kilometers.
Especially in the colder weather, everyone who usually uses a mobile phone or computer should find that it is easy to charge "virtual electricity" when the weather is cold, and there is not much that can actually be used when it is full.
When it comes to new energy vehicles, the same is true.
In addition, Xiao Zhao actually wanted to sell new energy vehicles in the second year and continue to drive back to his fuel vehicles.
However, when it comes to the second-hand car market, the value retention rate of new energy vehicles is simply unsightly, unlike the fuel vehicles bought two years earlier, and the second-hand car intermediaries also give relatively high prices.
Second, why the value retention rate of new energy vehicles is low
In the face of the "embarrassing" position of new energy vehicles in the second-hand car market, many people are puzzled by why the value retention rate of new energy vehicles is low.
In response to such confusion, we can find a breakthrough from the technical update of new energy vehicles.
A closer look at the market will show that in recent years, there have been a variety of new energy vehicles on the market, and new cars will generally have more unique technical selling points than the previous new energy vehicles.
Therefore, in the face of second-hand new energy vehicles that have backward technology, it is difficult to increase the value retention rate.
Another point that many people know - the battery life of new energy vehicles is limited.
Although various new energy vehicle brands have been continuously improving battery technology, with the growth of car use time, it is still inevitable that the battery performance will gradually decline.
From the perspective of battery life, the battery life of new energy vehicles is usually about 8 to 10 years.
At this stage, the cost of replacement may reach tens of thousands of yuan, which will also offset the previous savings. Therefore, the battery problem also has a direct impact on the value retention rate of new energy vehicles.
Third, whether new energy vehicles can be bought
After listening to Xiao Zhao's various statements, Xiao Zhao's friend was a little shaken by his idea of buying a new energy vehicle.
However, he still bought it later, because after integrating all aspects, he found that new energy vehicles could better meet his own needs.
Moreover, the state also has relevant subsidy policies, which is the key to many people, like Xiao Zhao's friends, who still insist on choosing new energy vehicles.
In addition, there are many advantages of new energy vehicles, which are very convenient to drive for daily commuting, and the comfort in the car is also better, and the noise generated is smaller.
epilogue
In fact, new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles have their own advantages and disadvantages, in the end, people who are interested in buying a car, which one they plan to choose, can be judged in combination with their own reality, rather than being affected by the voice of the market.
To be honest, the main value of the car is the convenience of travel, and the second may be the appearance and brand value that some car owners care about. However, at present, due to the role of environmental awareness, more and more car owners are concerned about the environmental performance of the car, which can become a reference index for buying a car.
