Faced with the continued soaring diesel prices, many card friends said that they "can't afford to run a car anymore." Sometimes, they can only earn gas money back to ensure a capital while taking out a bus, and they are simply unmotivated.

[ Truck Home Original] Faced with the continuous soaring diesel price, many card friends said that "you can't afford to run a car anymore." Sometimes, even if you can only earn money back to make money for a purchase, you can't do it. You're simply inactive. The excessive cost of using cars has caused many car friends to switch to the new energy market. Coupled with favorable policies, advantages of road rights and , and the increasing demand for urban freight, the new energy market can be said to be extremely hot since this year.

Everyone says that new energy trucks are operating at low cost and save more money, so how much can they save us? In this regard, we consulted the staff of Chengdu Jiuyun Service Station and asked them to calculate the calculations for us based on the manufacturer's information. According to the general five-year car usage time, we did not expect that the cost difference between the two was so big.

Electric vehicles are exempt from purchase tax. Fuel vehicles must be paid

We all know that buying ordinary fuel trucks requires purchase tax in proportion. Generally speaking, it is calculated and collected at 10% of the vehicle price. Purchase tax = total price tax ÷ 1.13×10% (currently, the automobile value-added tax rate is 13%). For example, the price of light truck we purchased is 120,000 yuan, and we need to pay a purchase tax of about 10,619 yuan. In addition, there is a vehicle and ship tax of 360 yuan. Of course, if you want to buy insurance, both fuel vehicles and new energy trucks, you don’t need to compare this account.

If the vehicle is calculated based on the five-year operation time, the fuel truck will have to pay a total of 12,419 yuan (10,619 yuan purchase tax + 1,800 yuan vehicle and ship tax). As for new energy trucks, there is no need to pay any taxes, which means there is no purchase tax or vehicle and ship tax. You only need to pay car purchase fees and insurance procedures, which is equivalent to paying 8,800 yuan less than fuel trucks in five years.

In fact, we can find that the majority of the expenses are still in the purchase tax. Among the latest released relevant policies, the policy of exempting new energy vehicle purchase tax that was originally scheduled to expire at the end of this year will be postponed until the end of next year, that is, the end of 2023. The fee support for is exempted from vehicle and ship tax, consumption tax, right of road, license, etc. will continue to be supported. Judging from the current mainstream new energy small and micro cards and light cards, this policy can indeed save card friends thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

Fuel cost comparison. Electric light trucks have absolute advantages.

Vehicle Operating cost. In terms of , it is obvious that new energy trucks have an absolute advantage. However, we still need to roughly calculate how much money can be saved for card friends. The same is calculated based on the five-year operating time. The annual operating mileage of light truck users is about 40,000 kilometers. The fuel consumption is calculated based on the comprehensive 15L/100 kilometers. The fuel price of No. 0 diesel fuel is calculated based on the current 8.2 yuan/L. In other words, the vehicle costs about 49,200 yuan of fuel costs per year, and a total of 246,000 yuan of fuel costs for 200,000 kilometers in five years.

In addition, diesel trucks also involve urea costs. The normal urea consumption ratio of National VI vehicles is about 10% of diesel consumption, which means that 100L of fuel requires about 10 kilograms of urea. According to the original manufacturer or brand of urea, a barrel of 10 kilograms is 50 yuan, the annual cost is about 3,000 yuan, and the urea cost in 5 years is about 15,000 yuan. With the previously concluded fuel expenses, the total cost in five years is about 261,000 yuan.

Let’s take a look at pure electric light trucks. Based on the power consumption of 40 degrees/100 kilometers and based on the peak and valley level electricity price, the electricity bill is about 1.15 yuan/kWh. Based on the calculation of 200,000 kilometers in five years, a total of 80,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity is required and 92,000 yuan is spent on electricity, with an average annual electricity bill of about 18,400 yuan. In comparison between the fuel light truck and pure electric light truck, the total cost difference in fuel in five years reached 169,000 yuan. Even at a lower oil price of 6.5 yuan/L yuan, the cost of traditional light truck fuel for 200,000 kilometers in five years is 195,000 yuan. Adding to the urea cost of 15,000 yuan, the total cost of 210,000 yuan, while the electricity consumption of new energy is only 92,000 yuan.

In this case, new energy trucks can still save 118,000 yuan in terms of fuel and urea consumption in five years. It can be seen that the advantages of new energy trucks in operating costs are still very obvious.Especially at a time when oil prices are rising, the low-cost car usage characteristics of new energy trucks are increasingly highlighted. Of course, the calculated data will also vary depending on the fuel consumption, diesel price, etc. This is more for card friends to make reference.

Maintenance cost Electric light trucks are more troublesome

Card friends will definitely involve car maintenance. Our fuel light trucks are calculated based on the maintenance cycle of five times a year. The average single maintenance cost is about 500 yuan, and the total maintenance cost for 5 years is about 12,500 yuan.

In contrast, pure electric light trucks do not need to replace engine oil and oil filter , and maintenance costs will be lower than fuel light trucks. The same maintenance cycle is 5 times a year, with an average of about 200 yuan each time, and a total of about 5,000 yuan will be used in 5 years.

From the above data, we can see that the total maintenance cost of fuel light trucks over 5 years is about 12,500 yuan, and the total maintenance cost of pure electric light trucks is about 5,000 yuan, with the difference between the two being 7,500 yuan. Of course, the maintenance and repair costs will be different depending on the actual car use situation. The data displayed here are mainly for reference by card friends.

5 car usage costs vary greatly. The road rights advantage of electric vehicles is the key.

. To sum up, even if we bring the diesel price back to the era of 6.5 yuan/liter, the total cost of 200,000 kilometers of fuel light trucks in 5 years is about 234,919 yuan. According to the same calculation method, the total cost of pure electric light trucks is about 97,000 yuan. In the end, after 200,000 kilometers in five years, the operating costs of fuel light trucks and pure electric light trucks were 137,919 million yuan. The extra money can basically be purchased for another fuel light truck.

If calculated at the current price of 8.2 yuan per liter, the difference in fuel consumption and power consumption alone will exceed 100,000 yuan. There is indeed a huge difference under detailed calculation.

data is for reference only

In terms of calculation method, have we missed something? Yes, the price of a tram is. At this stage, a 4-meter 2 pure electric light truck, 87-km electric light truck, is about 180,000 yuan, which is more than 60,000 yuan more expensive than a medium-sized fuel light truck. However, even so, based on the low oil price of 6.5 yuan per liter, the cost of 200,000 kilometers in five years is 137,919 million yuan. It can be seen that even if you reduce the 60,000 yuan expensive for pure electric trucks, there is still a profit gap of about 77,000 yuan.

Of course, many card friends are complaining about the problem that the price of pure electric light truck batteries is too expensive. The 5-year/200,000 kilometers warranty can completely eliminate everyone's concerns about using the car. Thanks to the rising price of power battery raw materials, the value retention rate of pure electric vehicles in the second-hand market has been greatly improved. The price of recyclable battery packs even exceeds 400 yuan/degree. For example, the unit price of a second-hand new energy light truck with 80 kWh of electricity can reach 32,000 yuan for a battery pack, and card friends can take action when they think it is appropriate.

However, from the car friends we have come into contact with, the main advantage of purchasing new energy trucks in Chengdu is not only in terms of operating costs, but also a decisive factor in the right to use the vehicle without restriction. Especially in the latest motor vehicle traffic management measures implemented by Chengdu, it is clear that traditional fuel trucks will not be able to pass through the main road of the Third Ring Road 24 hours a day and can only drive on the auxiliary road. Small new energy trucks are not restricted by them and can still pass through the main road of the Third Ring Road, which plays an important role in stimulating the new energy market.

● Postscript:

We can imagine that when major cities across the country begin to restrict traditional fuel trucks from entering the city and undergo large-scale blood replacement of new energy trucks, if you still want to continue to enter the core area of ​​the city to complete the distribution operation, then there is no doubt that new energy trucks are definitely the first choice.

In Chengdu, new energy trucks can be delivered in cities almost 24 hours a day, and have almost the highest right of access. There is no need to worry about traffic restrictions and numbers restrictions. This is also the key reason why local users buy new energy trucks.Dear card friends, if it were you, how would you choose between the two? (Text/Gong Yixin)
