In this article, if you want to save money on electric vehicles, don’t use commercial fast charging piles!
The design of electric vehicles abandoning fuel tanks determines that it is very low in terms of use. The low price of civilian electricity bills is about 0. In the era when the oil price is approaching the 9 yuan mark, countless people have begun to crazily enter the trap of electric vehicles laying.
The cost of using a car comes from all aspects. The conclusion of saving money from saving electricity is obviously not objective enough.
We take the Tesla system with the largest sales volume in the domestic market as a sample, and combine the car usage habits of many car owners to make a comprehensive cost analysis. One conclusion: the multi-faceted cost of electric vehicles determines that it is still a car! The cost cannot be low.
01 Daily charging cost
Everyone thinks that electric vehicles are low in charging prices and are attractive enough, but in fact this is a completely wrong idea. An Model3 3 power consumption is about 13kWh per 100 kilometers. According to the household electricity standards, the cost of 100 kilometers is less than 15 yuan, and the cost advantage is indeed very eye-catching.
But in fact, you will never be able to charge in your home charging pile all the time. Cross-city cars often need to charge in external commercial charging piles. At the same time, Tesla's dense super charging stations are also very frequent.
Basically, 1/3 of the charging mileage is on external commercial charging piles, and the comprehensive electricity cost of external charging piles is about two yuan, and the peak electricity cost is very high, which means that Tesla's charging cost of external commercial charging piles will soar to about 25 yuan per 100 kilometers, equivalent to 0.25 yuan per kilometer.
At this time, the cost has approached the hybrid model.
It is also worth mentioning that many communities do not allow charging piles to be installed. Once this problem occurs, the cost of using a car will be greatly increased. At the same time, some communities need to pay an expansion fee of about 5,000 yuan.
02 Insurance cost
02 Ordinary fuel vehicles have simple maintenance and mature technology, and the insurance cost is very low. Take a Haval H6 that is landed for 150,000 yuan as an example. The full insurance price in the second year can be controlled at around 3,000 yuan, and the full insurance cost of Passat about 200,000 yuan can also be suppressed very low.
After the insurance cost of electric vehicles has been raised many times, the full insurance price is basically around 10,000 yuan, which means that the annual expenditure on insurance alone is about 3,000 yuan higher than that of models of the same price. If you take
3,000 yuan to refuel, according to the cost analysis of a fuel vehicle of 50 cents per 100 kilometers, it can travel a distance of 6,000 km, which is another huge expense.
03 Maintenance cost
Electric vehicles do not require regular maintenance. Replacing oil in fuel vehicles can save hundreds of yuan every year. This is indeed a very worry-free thing, but other consumables still need to be maintained as a car. Tires, wheels, wipers, , brakes, etc. must be missing.
And according to the current positioning of electric vehicles, the cost of replacing these accessories is more expensive than that of ordinary fuel vehicles. There is no reason, just because these products are more advanced smart electric vehicles .
It is also worth mentioning that many electric vehicles are currently very rich in configuration, and the cost of post-maintenance and replacement of large screens and various intelligent voice systems is bound to be very high, and these parts are not within the scope of insurance compensation. While
brings a better user experience, it must be a higher cost.
In fact, comprehensive analysis shows that if 1/3 of the usage habit is used to charging external charging piles, including the annual insurance of the vehicle, then the cost of using Model 3 is actually the same as that of fuel vehicles. Although it has escaped the constraints of gas stations, it is obvious that the high cost pressure of insurance and external charging piles will not bring much benefit to the use of the vehicle.
We have carefully calculated that with the habit of fast recharge of 10,000 kilometers per year and 3,000 kilometers, the cost of one kilometer of Model 3 is about 50 cents.
Of course, there is no need to gloat about it. In fact, all electric cars have this problem. Do you think the insurance costs of fast charging of the power grid and other electric cars are very low?
