I don't know if this news today is good or bad. Because just now, the price of oil in New York fell below $70, setting a new record for the lowest oil price this year.
The good news is that the price of crude oil has fallen, and our gasoline prices may also come down to some extent. The bad news is that after the fall in fuel prices, the cost advantage of new energy vehicles will not be reflected.
For example, if the fuel cost is reduced from 8 yuan to 4 yuan now, if a car consumes 6L per 100 kilometers, it is equivalent to only 2 cents and 4 cents per kilometer. In this way, the cost of using a car is not much different from that of new energy vehicles.
In this case, who else wants to buy a new energy vehicle? After all, fuel vehicles have many advantages such as long service life, mature technology, and unlimited mileage. Even if the cost is slightly higher, with the blessing of many advantages, people will still choose fuel vehicles.
This is naturally not good news for companies that have just begun to lay out new energy vehicles. For example, although Xiaomi SU7 is selling well, some people believe from Xiaomi's financial report that Lei Jun actually didn't make much money, and even lost money.
Xiaomi has just laid out, and Tesla, which has led the trend of electric vehicles, is not having a good time. They also caused their profits to decline because of the price war. The latest financial report also makes it clear that the lack of profit in the past few years has been forced out by the price war.
Before, everyone dared to fight a price war because new energy vehicles were selling very hot, and everyone hoped to occupy the market first. However, if the price of fuel vehicles falls and the advantages of new energy vehicles are no longer available, many people will begin to consider fuel vehicles. Once the sales are not as hot as before, fighting a price war is almost like looking for death.
So, will new energy vehicles have major problems due to the fall in crude oil prices? As things stand, it's unlikely. The main thing is that new energy vehicles also have a major advantage, that is, the advantage of science and technology, and this does represent the future.
We still need to get a driver's license to drive, but have you ever thought that one day, you want to send your child to kindergarten? You can carry him directly to the car, and the vehicle will automatically send him to kindergarten. What was it like to get there and have a teacher pick you up.
You want to go to work, but the commute takes up to an hour. It doesn't matter, because you can make dumplings in the car, cook them in the pot, and have a happy meal in the pot, and you even have time to get some sleep. When you wake up, you find that the vehicle has arrived at the unit.
This is the advantage of new energy vehicles in intelligence, but such intelligent advantages, only new energy vehicles can enjoy, fuel vehicles because the battery is too small can not enjoy.
People will become more and more lazy, but laziness will also make people more and more motivated to develop and innovate. New energy vehicles are like this, so to speak, even if the price of oil falls to zero, new energy vehicles will continue to develop, which is determined by the lazy nature of people.
