Now we have already changed scooters from bicycles to electric vehicles, mainly because electric vehicles are cost-effective. Not only is it convenient and affordable to charge, but you don’t have to worry about traffic jams. The most important thing is that it is easier to park at the destination, and you don’t have to find a parking space on purpose. All kinds of benefits make many people more favored by electric vehicles.
However, electric cars cannot be used for seven or eight years like cars. Basically, electric cars need to be replaced in two or three years. Every time they need to change an electric car, the merchant will tell you that you can "exchange old for new". Although trade-in with old is a sure profit for everyone, there are some things you must pay attention to when replacing a new car.
What is the specific matter? Everyone must understand in advance to avoid the merchant’s routine.
1. If you don’t change to “exceeded car”
The prices of electric vehicles of the same brand are actually different in different regions, and the supervision strength in each region is different, so the procedures when exchanging old for new are also different. When you plan to trade the old for new one, you should first go to the local management department for consultation, or check online to see if the car you selected meets local regulations, whether it can be registered and put on the road, etc.
has now entered the era of new national standard cars. Although the new national standard has been implemented in 2019 and has been three years since then, there are still many merchants on the market telling you, "Don't buy new national standard, I have other cars here cheaper and have large battery capacity." But everyone should remember that cars that are not new national standards cannot be used on the road. Once they are found by the traffic police, they will be fined and the vehicles will be scrapped. This will be a bit unworthy of the loss.
It is easier to tell which car is a new national standard, that is, is there a 3C certification mark on the electric bicycle. Generally speaking, the validity period of 3C certification is 5 years. As long as there is certification, you can go to the vehicle management office or a local dealer to change the electric vehicle license plate.
But one thing to note is that some cars have not applied for the directory of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, so when querying, the vehicle information cannot be checked. It is best to check the information of the car you have purchased at the door of the store before leaving the store. It is important to remember that if the price is very low when replacing, you must carefully check whether the vehicle is a "exceeded car". If so, you cannot change it even if the price is low.
2. Stay away from "renovated" electric vehicles
Generally speaking, regular flagship stores, electric vehicles do not have anti-slip and poor braking performance. However, some counterfeit stores may change to "refurbished cars", some of which have long dates and low battery capacity. The main reason is that many merchants can repair cars themselves and know how to cover up the shortcomings of cars, making it difficult for buyers to discover the "routines".
And winter is coming soon. When the temperature drops, the battery itself will decrease, and the battery performance will also decrease, so there are great problems in battery life. If you change to a low-capacity battery, you may run out of power while riding halfway. Similarly, electric vehicles with poor anti-slip, shock-proof and brakes after cold weather will be more dangerous, and will endanger people's lives and safety, which will not be worth the loss.
So when changing to a new car, remember to identify the flagship store or a regular store.
3. Compare all the stores to avoid "miscellaneous" cars
. You must look at several more stores when changing to new cars. Compare all the stores and choose a good quality electric car to exchange for purchases. If some miscellaneous electric cars cannot be sold, the bosses will include these cars in the old-for-new team. These cars are relatively new in terms of the frame. When asked by the boss, the boss will also tell you that the battery is also new, but the quality of this kind of car is not as good as your old car. It seems that we have paid hundreds of dollars with an old car, but it seems that we have taken advantage of it. We exchanged an old car that we don’t use to get a new car. But we didn’t know that the car we exchanged for is not worth the price, and the price was inflated by the boss. In the end, our old car was given to the boss for free.
So when you trade old for new products, you must go to several more stores, be more careful and understand the market prices. It is best to buy regular brands instead of some miscellaneous brands. Never be fooled and think you have taken advantage of it.
4. It is more cost-effective to sell batteries and trams separately
When changing cars, people usually push electric cars to find merchants to trade old for new ones. However, they don’t know that changing electric cars like this is not the most cost-effective. What is really cost-effective is to sell the car shell and battery separately. Because most electric vehicles on the market now use lead-acid battery , and lead-acid battery can be recycled. In a lead-acid battery, the mass of lead accounts for about 50%. Even for old electric vehicles, at least half of the lead in the battery can be used for at least half of the value.
The price of used batteries is usually about 40% of the new batteries. Such batteries will also be recycled by special recycling agencies. Therefore, it will be much more cost-effective to remove the battery of the electric car and sell it at that time than to directly push the electric car to trade the old for new ones.
When you trade old for new ones, you can check more information to understand the "routines" used by merchants. Do not be greedy for small gains, estimate the value of your electric car, and choose the best method.
