A pure electric vehicle costs only 8 cents per kilometer. Seeing that the gasoline price continues to rise to more than 8 yuan, a friend around him finally couldn't bear it and walked into the pure electric vehicle 4S store, but I just want to say, do you really understand pure electric vehicles? If you choose a pure electric vehicle just to save money, it is too late to regret it, because pure electric vehicles "save fuel but not money, and worry-free."
Buying pure electric cars under 80,000 is really a matter of saving money, but buying pure electric cars above 200,000 is definitely not about saving money. In fact, it does not save money at all. The five major advantages of pure electric cars are obvious, but the four major disadvantages are the weaknesses. I don’t understand these points. I advise car friends to think twice before doing so as not to regret buying them.
Let’s first look at the five major advantages of pure electric vehicles:
Advantages 1. Power performance crushes fuel vehicles
From the perspective of power alone, compared with the same price, pure electric vehicles have completely beat fuel vehicles. Pure electric vehicles abandon engines and gearboxes, and the motor can continuously transmit large torque in a very short time. This is the advantage of pure electric vehicles relying on motor drive. For example, Xiaopeng P7, the maximum power of a single motor model is 196kw and the maximum torque can reach 390N.m.
Compared with the 450,000 Mercedes-Benz E300, the maximum power is 190kw and the maximum torque is 370N.m, which is still slightly inferior to the Xiaopeng P7. Such power has surpassed the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E300, which is more than 400,000 , while the BMW 730, the maximum power is 195kw and the maximum torque is 400N.m. This is almost the same as the BMW 730. If you spend 200,000 to enjoy 500,000 or even 700,000 power, isn't it good?
Advantages 2. The ride comfort is impeccable
Also because it is powered by electric motors, it does not have the noise, shaking, shifting and cease, gasoline smell, etc. of traditional fuel vehicle engines. Relying on motor drive, coupled with the design of no air intake grid on the front of the car body, the wind resistance coefficient is reduced. In addition to the sudden acceleration and a buzzing motor sound, sitting in the car looks extremely quiet, just enjoy the stimulation of dynamic music.
Some people may say that it cannot compare with Mercedes-Benz E-Series, BMW 7 Series comfort, and it is indeed incomparable, because there are hundreds of thousands of differences in between. If you pay attention to NVH performance, you must be able to make money, but if you spend the same amount of money, pure electric cars will only be far better than fuel vehicles. This is determined by the natural genes of pure electric.
Advantage 3: Applying "green license plate", unlimited number, unlimited license plate
As more and more first- and second-tier cities implement license plate restrictions, it is easy to buy a car and difficult to register. Faced with such a dilemma, pure electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids have been perfectly solved, which is also one of the reasons why the popularity of trams in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is so high.
Similarly, "green-plate" cars can also enjoy other diversified treatments. In addition to exemption of purchase tax, many regions implement free parking for the first 2 hours of "state-owned parking spaces". New energy green-plate cars can take bus lanes, and some regions even introduce certain discounts on highways, bridges, tunnels and other roads.
Advantages 4. How much can you save when charging saves money?
Many car companies implement the purchase of new cars to get free charging ratings, and daily charging is mainly home and public charging piles. Home charging piles use 40 cents at night. If you plug in slow charging at night, you can be fully charged in the morning. Taking pure electric vehicles with a range of 600 kilometers as an example, the battery storage is about 70 cents, which is calculated as 5 cents at a time. The total electricity bill for a full charge is only 35 yuan.
If you go to a public charging pile outside, the service fee and electricity fee will be calculated as 1.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and it will cost 105 yuan per kilowatt-hour. It is indeed a bit expensive, but after comparing fuel vehicles, the gap is too big.
10-year cost of pure electric vehicles: The electricity consumption of a pure electric vehicle per 100 kilometers is roughly 16 degrees, which means that the electricity bill for 100 kilometers is 8 yuan, and the cost of 1 kilometer is 8 minutes. Assuming that you drive 15,000 kilometers per year, and you can drive 150,000 kilometers for 10 years, the electricity bill is only 12,000. Of course, the electricity price in each region is different, and everyone charges differently. If you calculate the average of home and public charging, 150,000 kilometers will cost about 20,000 kilometers.
Fuel vehicle 10-year cost: Assume No. 95 gasoline, 8 yuan/L, fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, driving 150,000 kilometers, the total fuel cost is 96,000 yuan. In comparison, pure electric only costs 12,000 yuan, which saves at least 70,000 yuan in the meantime, so there is no doubt that pure electric vehicles save "fuel expenses".
Advantages 5. Save maintenance fees
Daily inspection and maintenance of motors, batteries, electronic control systems, suspended body frames, etc., which only costs a little labor cost. Some car companies even have free, and the single maintenance fee is within 200. At least I have been driving for five or six years, and all maintenance and parts are not over 5,000 yuan.
Look back at fuel vehicles. Even if it is a small maintenance, it is generally more than 500 or even thousands. In 10 years, all kinds of maintenance have been around 20,000 yuan. The maintenance fee of pure electric vehicles can save tens of thousands. As for maintenance costs, you may encounter them both as pure electric and fuel vehicles, all depends on the model.
The four major "pain points" of pure electric vehicles are all the highlights of
. The advantages of
are indeed obvious, but its shortcomings are real and the real pain points. Whether a car is good or not can be said to be determined by its shortcomings.
1, difficulty in charging, slow charging
For pure electric vehicles, it is not because the battery itself is short now, but because it is difficult to charge, slow charging, and doubts about battery warranty and life, coupled with problems such as safety and low value retention, these four major disadvantages are the issues that car fans are concerned about.
A tank of fuel vehicles lasts only 700 to 800 kilometers. Pure electric vehicles can achieve an actual range of 700 to 800 kilometers, but they still cannot meet the majority of car enthusiasts, because fuel vehicles can be seen everywhere at gas stations, which is convenient and fast. A tank of fuel is filled in 3 minutes.
. Currently, pure electric vehicles not only have few charging piles, but more importantly, charging is too slow. It will take at least half an hour to charge to 80% fast. If charging piles can be seen everywhere in the future, the electricity bill will not increase, and it will only take 10 minutes to fully charge, and there is no need to queue for long queues. This is the "spring" of pure electric vehicles.
2, doubts about battery warranty and lifespan
Regarding battery warranty and lifespan, currently the power battery is mainly ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate battery , and its lifespan can generally reach more than 7-10 years, but this is official data. How many years can the battery life last? It remains to be tested by time.
New energy vehicle companies have also seen this "pain point". In recent years, there have been various policies for battery warranty, such as battery cells and battery pack lifetime warranty, 8-year or 160,000 kilometers of warranty, and some even introduced lifetime warranty, but there are also many "loopholes" in it.
After all, power batteries involve battery cells, battery packs, electronic control systems and other parts. It doesn’t mean much to guarantee a certain part of the individual, and the other parts still have to pay for it at their own expense. No one can officially launch a promise of “more complete free warranty power batteries under non-human factors”. It also hopes that when the battery life is approaching, car companies will not play "Tai Chi, word games".
3, Safety issues
The safety of pure electric vehicles has always been the focus of attention. On the one hand, pure electric vehicles are emerging products in recent years. Its battery safety, passive body safety, assisted driving, etc. are still to be tested by the market. Therefore, whenever a safety accident of pure electric vehicles occurs, it will become the "focus".
For the safety of the battery itself, the known lithium iron phosphate batteries are relatively stable in chemical properties. Under acupuncture and overcharging tests, the safety is indeed better than that of ternary lithium batteries, and it is also less contaminated, but it still cannot dispel the doubts of car owners.
Also for assisted driving, due to various factors, there have been too many safety accidents caused by improper assisted driving operations. For safety, in addition to the decision of the vehicle itself, it depends more on the driver's active safety behavior. As for some car owners who talk about radiation issues, there is no need to worry about this.
As for the value retention rate, as the number of pure electric vehicles and battery life continue to increase, the charging problem will also continue to increase, but if the battery life and cost problems are not solved well, the value retention rate will definitely not be compared with fuel vehicles.
4. Why do you say that pure electric vehicles "save fuel but not money"?
Some people see that gasoline is expensive, and 1 kilometer costs about 80 cents. Look at pure electric vehicles only cost 8 cents per kilometer, which is 10 times the difference between the two, and the maintenance is cheap, so they think that it is very cost-effective to maintain a pure electric vehicle. In fact, it is not the case. The price of new pure electric vehicles is 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. The amount of money spent on
is more than 10,000 kilometers per year. In addition, the price difference between used cars between fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles is tens of thousands more than 10 years later, and you may even face self-paid battery replacement. In this way, it is obvious that pure electric vehicles are much more expensive than fuel vehicles, so don’t talk about saving money when buying expensive pure electric vehicles. We can only talk about car use experience.
If you want to save money, you should buy pure electric cars within 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. This is a good deal. In a word, pure electric cars are the future trend, but for now, it is only suitable for some specific groups, such as the activity radius is within two or three hundred kilometers, short-distance cars, household charging piles, areas with convenient charging, and cities such as limited numbers and license plates. There is no need to pay attention to the cost of buying a car. Such people will definitely prefer pure electric cars to fuel cars.
