Some time ago, the high temperature and drought problem of Sichuan and Chongqing caused the power supply in some areas to be unstable. In order to make people's livelihood electricity use, many new energy vehicle charging piles were forced to shut down. Therefore, this also made the topic of "Is it appropriate to buy a tram now?" become more sensitive again.

Indeed, on weekdays, if your city has complete charging facilities and rarely involve long-distance travel, the experience brought by the tram is still good.

However, everything has two sides, including trams that are really delicious with a car. So, instead of worrying about whether to buy a tram or an oil car, it is better to think clearly about what your needs are? What are the main car use scenarios? Do you care about after-sales and value retention rate? If it is the first two problems, it is easy to solve. For the second half of the problem, that is, the value retention rate, the current tram is a bit embarrassing. For the 100,000-level models that have taken away the volume, the BYD Dolphin in the tram field is very representative, but when it comes to changing the car, it becomes more annoyed.

According to data from a certain platform, dolphins have fallen below 60% in the ladder of "three-year value retention rate"; in the fifth year, their value retention rate was only 44.8%. Suppose we allocate the discounts when selling cars on the cost of using the car. Isn’t it magically discovered that in a complete car use cycle, the cost of using the tram may not be lower than that of the oil car, and the less mileage, the more you lose compared to the oil car.

On the contrary, as the most direct competitor of Dolphins, the Honda Fit , it is undoubtedly more pleasing to users who pay attention to value retention. First of all, I believe that the product reliability of Fit does not need to be explained too much. After all, the real reputation is there. Recently, J.D Power released the 2022 China New Car Quality Research (IQS), and Fit ranked first in the 2022 compact high-end sedan market segment on the basis of 2021.

Secondly, thanks to Honda's achievements in engine technology, its power is the same as that of the Dolphins, and the actual measured Fit 6.3L/100km is not high; at the same time, it can also make users have no battery life anxiety in terms of long-distance travel during holidays.

Take Dolphin and Fit with similar guidance prices as an example. The former is the lowest-equipped model with a theoretical pure electric range of only 301 kilometers, while Fit is the highest-equipped or second-top-equipped model with a real range of more than 600 kilometers. The most important thing is that it is more convenient to make up for energy and can be competent for long-distance and urban travel. At the same time, the dolphin configuration at this price is not as good as Fit. For example, the front and rear head airbags and the L2-level intelligent assisted driving functions are Fit's exclusive configuration.

Then, in terms of value retention rate, Fit's 3rd year retention rate and 60.02% in the fifth year, but it is much more fragrant than dolphins, and everyone will not feel pain when selling a car. Therefore, when the two cars are in the same condition/equal kilometers, in terms of worry-free use of cars and "selling cars to recover", Fit obviously performs better.

Finally, there is another very critical issue. Although Dolphin and Fit are of the same level hatchback , it may be that the tram's car manufacturing technology is far less mature than oil cars, so its car prices are generally higher than oil cars. Dolphins are the same for Fit. The guide price of dolphins is 102,800-130,800, while Fit is 81,800-108,800. At the same time, Fit has a higher terminal reduction in most areas. In addition, the current oil vehicle supports purchase tax to halve , which makes Fit's final landing price still much lower than that of Dolphins.

Editor's comment:

Although the sales share of trams is increasing year by year, what the editor wants to say is that everyone still needs to remain "sober in the world". For the two cars we mentioned today, if you have an oil car at home and purchase it, then you can choose Dolphin and Fit at will. On the contrary, if we are a car-first person, I think it is undoubtedly more appropriate to give you a more secure feeling in the entire car-use cycle and have a higher purchase value.
