Let's be honest: even if the tram drives 200,000 kilometers, it can't save a few fuel dollars for the gas car!

This is a very impactful topic, because in the eyes of many people, choosing "electrified" products must have better economy than gasoline vehicles.

In other words, everyone firmly believes that the cost of using a charging vehicle is lower than that of a fuel truck.

But in fact, this is not the case, from the perspective of economic cost, the comprehensive cost of using the tram, in fact, is not as low as imagined, this is the past year, after examining the user's habits from many aspects to reach the conclusion.

01 The cost of using the tram is more complicated

From the perspective of car purchase, a very ordinary family car, the price of a pure electric vehicle is at least 30% more expensive than that of a fuel car, taking the Qin PLUS EV, which has a large sales volume, as an example, the price of a vehicle with a suitable configuration is about 110,000.

The power consumption of 100 kilometers is about 14kWh, the cost of household electricity is about 0.5 yuan/kWh, the cost of commercial charging piles is about 1.5 yuan/kWh, and the annual use intensity of 10,000 kilometers is about 30%-40% of which is charged on commercial charging piles.

The annual charging cost is about 1,100 yuan, and the comprehensive electricity cost for 200,000 kilometers is about 22,000 yuan.

In addition to the electricity bill, another hidden cost of electric vehicles is insurance and tires, a tram tire is at least 200 yuan more expensive than a gasoline car tire, because it needs to carry more weight, and at the same time, the tram starts faster, the tires need to be more wear-resistant, and 200,000 kilometers need to replace 4 tires for a total of 16 tires.

The cost of extra tires is 3,200 yuan, the first five years of insurance, about 20% more expensive per year, and the additional cost of five years of insurance is about 10,000 yuan.

Any repair costs for batteries and motors are not calculated.

02 The cost of using a fuel truck is more biased towards fuel consumption

The current landing price of a fuel vehicle of the same size as the Qin PLUS EV is about 70,000 yuan, for example, the new Emgrand can land a 1.5L + CVT powered model.

In terms of car purchase price, it is about 40,000 yuan less than that of electric vehicles.

Based on the use cost of 0.5 yuan per kilometer, the fuel cost of 200,000 kilometers is 100,000 yuan, and it costs 400 yuan for small maintenance per 10,000 kilometers, and 1,000 yuan for 70,000 kilometers for major maintenance, and the maintenance cost is about 10,000 yuan.

The cost of fuel and maintenance is not available for the train, and it costs about 110,000 yuan.

But it costs 40,000 more to buy a tram, and the insurance will cost 10,000 yuan more, the tire cost 3,200 yuan more, and the charging is not without costs, in the case of free installation of charging piles and 70% of household electricity, it costs 22,000 yuan.

The cumulative cost of the train will save about 35,000 yuan. But there is one last step, the final residual value of the fuel vehicle will be about 10,000 yuan, but the final residual value of the tram can only be scrapped with a high probability.

The gap has narrowed further.

In addition, 200,000 kilometers itself is a false proposition, many family cars simply can not drive 200,000 kilometers, the advantage of the tram is "the more you drive, the more saving", but if you only drive 30,000-50,000 kilometers to change the car, the price of the tram will be extremely fast.

If a car only drives 30,000 kilometers, the corresponding fuel cost is actually about 15,000 yuan, and the electricity cost is about 3,000 yuan, but the price of the tram itself is 30% more expensive than that of the oil car, and it has already lost in cost.

The residual value of trams can be relatively stable if prices do not collapse, but if the price war resumes in the next few years, the price of trams will be much higher than that of gasoline cars.

Of course, people who buy trams are more likely to ignore economy, the advantages of trams are smooth, fast acceleration and quietness, and if you don't consider economy, trams are indeed better than gasoline cars.

However, there is one thing that needs to be overcome for electric cars, and that is the safety anxiety of batteries.
