Recently, the Passenger Association released the car market data from April 1 to 14. According to statistics, the retail sales of new energy vehicles reached 260,000 units, an increase of 32% year-on-year. In this statistical period, the retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles accounted for 50.39%, which means that the pattern of China's auto market has quietly reversed. New energy vehicles have become the mainstream of the market, and those who buy fuel vehicles have gradually become a minority.
Sales of new energy vehicles have also shown a steady growth trend, with cumulative retail sales reaching 2.032 million units this year, a year-on-year increase of 34%. From April 1 to 14, the wholesale volume of new energy of passenger car manufacturers nationwide was 268,000 units, an increase of 43% year-on-year, and the cumulative wholesale volume this year reached 2.219 million units, a year-on-year increase of 32%.
However, although the data shows that the rise of the new energy vehicle market is unstoppable, there are still netizens who are skeptical. Some netizens jokingly said: "Laughing to death, you say that a few are a minority, at least there is a majority around me, and 10 out of 10 people are fuel vehicles!" This reflects that fuel vehicles still occupy an important position in the hearts of some consumers.
You might as well think deeply about these ideas. Although new energy vehicles have significant advantages in science and technology, the application of technology is not achieved overnight, and fuel vehicles still have their value. From the perspective of cost, although the fuel cost is relatively high, the fuel vehicle does not need to replace the engine, and the cost of subsequent battery replacement cannot be ignored, and the cost of replacing the battery is generally 50,000 or 60,000 or even 70,000. As a result, the fuel savings made in the early days may still need to be invested in battery replacement.
In addition, some netizens shared their experience of renting a tram in Sanya. The electricity dropped from 70% to more than 30% in three days, and if you drive a fuel truck on the same distance, you will consume up to 3 small bars of oil, that is, 1/4 of the oil will not be used. This difference in user experience has also made some consumers have reservations about electric vehicles.
At the same time, the charging of electric vehicles is also a major challenge. Slow charging takes too long, while fast charging, while convenient, can cause damage to the battery. Therefore, although electric vehicles are good enough for daily transportation, they still need to be perfected for long-distance travel.
No matter how the oil truck driver and the tram driver argue, there is no doubt that they often run long distances to choose oil cars, and choose trams in the province or neighboring provinces. As for the charging problem, with the depletion of oil resources and the development of the national dual carbon policy, charging piles will inevitably be everywhere in the near future.
To sum up, the rise of the new energy vehicle market is an indisputable fact, but fuel vehicles still have their rationality and value. In the future, we look forward to the continuous improvement of the new energy vehicle market and provide consumers with more high-quality choices.
