new energy vehicles has allowed major automobile brands to see development opportunities. The electrification process is a consensus among major automobile brands. With the growth of sales of new energy vehicles, this field has stronger development potential. Coupled with the strong support of new energy vehicles, it is expected to be on par with traditional fuel vehicles in recent years, which is enough to show people's recognition of new models. The reason why electric vehicle is so outstanding is not just because of policy inclination. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, electric vehicles have many advantages!
In the eyes of some veteran drivers, if the policy is lost, new energy vehicles may not develop so rapidly. There is no doubt about this, especially in first- and second-tier cities that implement traffic restrictions, number restrictions, and queuing for listing. If new energy vehicles can skip the queue and hang green license plates, they will lose many users. Under this policy, the share of new energy vehicles in some cities has reached 50%. Some big cities will cancel the advantages of the hybrid model next year. By then, new energy vehicles will inevitably face huge adjustments. A friend of mine has been buying electric vehicles for three years. I want to ask how his car experience is? A friend said: Both have advantages and disadvantages, and are mixed.
My friend's electric car is the second car, and it is a pure electric mid-size SUV, which is often used for home self-driving tours. The actual usage is mixed. On the one hand, electric cars have an excellent driving experience. The entry-level models are equipped with magic carpet suspension, four-wheel drive system, panoramic sunroof and other configurations, and the seats in the car support various high-end configurations. The second row of independent seats is also equipped with small table boards, which can be used to obtain a million-level luxury car for less than 300,000 yuan. My friend is very satisfied with the vehicle configuration and driving experience.
In terms of car use cost, this electric car is very low. Car companies have launched two-year free charging benefits for this car. They only need to go to the designated charging pile to charge, and there is no cost for car use at all. However, recently they have encountered a shortcoming of car use: designated charging piles are not enough, and some commercial charging piles have also been queuing for charging, especially on the night before the holiday, my friend experienced two hours of queueing and regretted that he did not install a private charging pile.
Moreover, most cities have imperfect layout of charging piles, and charging problems will inevitably become a shortcoming that limits the development of electric vehicles. Therefore, CATL launched the battery swap brand EVOGO and a combined battery swap overall solution. Some car manufacturers have also launched wireless charging solutions, which are all good choices. As for battery swap solutions, this is a form that Musk studied and tested when developing Tesla car , and eventually ended in failure. Battery swap is in line with the domestic car use environment. As long as the preliminary investment and maintenance are completed, they will gradually get on track in the later stage!
Unlike fuel vehicles, the speed and energy consumption of electric vehicles are proportional to energy consumption. When driving at low speed and uniform speed in the city, the power consumption per 100 kilometers is about 13 degrees, while the power consumption at high speed is about 18 degrees. My friend drove an electric vehicle through the highway once. The driving experience is indeed good, but there is still anxiety about battery life, so he can only queue up to charge in the service area.
A shortcoming that only some people understand. Although the country has provided purchase subsidies for new energy vehicles, and is exempt from purchase tax and vehicle and ship tax, some models have "open reduction and secret increase", and the prices before and after the subsidy are similar, especially after the price increase of chips and raw materials and logistics and transportation costs increase, some car companies have also increased the price of models. Traditional car manufacturers have further lowered the purchase discounts. Fortunately, friends understand cars and know many car dealers, and have received huge discounts.
When I waited until I bought auto insurance once a year, my friend encountered another problem. Small insurance companies that used to insure fuel vehicles could not insure electric vehicles, but large insurance companies said that insurance prices would increase, and the price of vehicle losses had nearly doubled. The commercial insurance premium of an electric vehicle was enough for the two-year insurance expenses of fuel vehicles. This is the biggest shortcoming that my friend felt. The reason for the price increase was not because the number of electric vehicles was small. Everyone knew the reason, and some entry-level electric vehicles could not buy vehicle loss insurance . How good the insurance company was to settle accounts, it was natural for some reasons!
To sum up, this is a real experience for a friend to drive an electric car for three years. Overall, there is not much shortcoming, and the cost of using a car is extremely low. This is the charm of electric cars. If the battery and charging problems can be solved, it will inevitably develop at a faster pace. What do you think about this?
