2022 is the world of new energy. Domestic new energy has been developing for 12 years. Although the evaluation of new energy on the Internet is still polarized, and there are even many criticisms and few praises, this does not mean that the market performance of new energy is not good. On the contrary, according to the 2022 sales data released by the China Passenger Car Association, from January to June, the total retail volume of new energy passenger cars reached 2.248 million units, an increase of 122.5% year-on-year. At the same time, the sales volume of the entire auto market fell year-on-year, which means that new energy is still continuing to erode the current market with fuel vehicles as the main body.
So what are the considerations for the owners who switched from fuel vehicles to new energy? Due to the different energy supply methods and charging methods, new energy vehicles are often difficult to meet the travel requirements across provinces and regions. They are not big toys with strong performance and cool appearance, but are usually to meet the daily travel needs of families. Therefore, it is more cost-effective and practical than most fuel vehicles. By 2022, the new energy vehicle market will be strong. What cost-effective new energy vehicle models are available on the market that can meet daily commuting needs? Next, let us take a look at the current new energy vehicle models suitable for household use but outdated.
