Does new energy vehicles save fuel and money?After 5 years, the real gap is obvious

Most of the friends who have bought new energy vehicles are out of the consideration of saving fuel costs.

They believe that saving gas equals saving money. A fuel vehicle can be burned out within a week with a full tank of fuel, while a new energy vehicle can be driven for a week with only a few dozen yuan on a single charge.

However, many people do not understand the advantages and disadvantages of various new energy vehicles, and they begin to regret it soon after blindly following the trend and buying. In fact, new energy vehicles such as fuel vehicles, pure electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles, after 5 years of driving, the gap will become very obvious.

I usually go back to my hometown and use the 220V electricity at home to charge, although the charging speed is a little slower, but it is less than one dollar per kilowatt-hour, and the cost is lower. If he only drives 20,000 kilometers a year, then he will continue to use it for 5 years and then charge it at less than 20,000 yuan.

My gasoline car is simply too fuel-intensive. Although it is an entry-level small scooter, the fuel consumption is still quite high. Each time you fill up 200 yuan of fuel, you can only last 7 days, and the daily commute adds up to only 70 kilometers, which will cost 04 yuan per kilometer, and it will rise to 0 in summer$5.

It costs 4 years for 5 years50,000, which is more than the cost of my brother-in-law to charge the charging pile during the most expensive time periodMore than 50,000.

The fuel car I drive is simply a beggar's version, and it is just a small car, while my brother-in-law is a mid-size car with all kinds of high-tech blessings, and the space and comfort are much better than mine.

Even if it is compared with medium-sized fuel vehicles of the same level, it has many advantages. If you want a fuel car to have the power of an electric car, you have to spend hundreds of thousands, but my brother-in-law's car is only more than 200,000.

It took him two years to discover that even though his electric car had a range of 610 km, 200 km more than many 400 km range, he was still anxious about using it.

In the past, although the fuel consumption was high when driving a gas car, I never had this feeling of anxiety. However, driving a tram now, whether you have money or not, you will be anxious.

He found that when he drove an electric car, he always had to plan the charging route in advance. Every time you charge to more than 480 kilometers, you have to go on the road, and then every time you have about 80 kilometers left, you have to start looking for a place to charge, otherwise you will worry about running out of power halfway.

In his mind, the car's range has become the standard of 400 kilometers.

Every time he goes back to his hometown, he has to plan the location of the charging station in advance. When running at high speed, the distance between each service area is more than 30 kilometers, and you have to charge in advance after driving more than 300 kilometers, otherwise you are afraid of encountering a queue of charging piles in the service area or no charging piles at all.

Sometimes it takes several hours to queue up in the service area to charge on holidays, and it used to take 10 hours to drive a gas car all the way home, but it took 20 hours to drive a tram, and most of the time was spent on charging.

Hybrid models with fuel tanks solve people's anxiety about range. It has two sets of systems, which can be charged, and it can be used in pure electric mode for daily transportation, which makes people feel very convenient. Even if you need to refuel and maintain, you can do it without worry.

In the case of high-speed driving or inconvenient charging, fuel consumption can also be controlled at about 4 liters, and only needs more than 3 cents per kilometer, which saves a lot of fuel costs compared with traditional fuel vehicles.

The extended-range electric vehicle also has its own advantages, the engine is mainly to charge the battery, the range anxiety is small, even if the power is out of gas to refuel. Compared with fuel vehicles at the same price, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is also less than 6 liters, which is a good choice.

There is also a model, a hybrid car like the Corolla Shuangqing, which can be used without plugging in. This kind of car has no range anxiety, and the daily car is the same as the fuel car, and it only needs to be refueled. Because it has a blue plate like an ordinary oil car, it is difficult for others to tell that this is a hybrid car.

The fuel consumption of this kind of car is also relatively low, taking the Corolla Shuangqing as an example, the average fuel consumption is 4About 5L, the fuel cost per kilometer is more than 3 cents, and it only costs more than 30,000 yuan for 100,000 kilometers in 5 years. In fact, this fuel consumption is similar to that of plug-in hybrid models without charging, and it is also more fuel-efficient.

After the above comparison, it can be concluded that new energy vehicles in 5 years do have advantages in terms of fuel cost savings compared with fuel vehicles. However, there are some inherent problems with these models. Both pure electric and plug-in hybrid models face the challenge of high selling prices and low value retention.

In addition, once there is a problem, the maintenance cost of new energy vehicles is much higher than that of fuel vehicles. Although you can save a lot of money in daily use, considering that the purchase is tens of thousands of yuan higher, and the discount of second-hand cars is also tens of thousands of yuan, the actual savings are not much.

In other words, while new energy vehicles can save fuel, the money they save is also limited. Especially if there is a battery problem that is out of warranty, the repair cost will be high. It may not have much impact on people who use their vehicles frequently, but for people who drive less frequently, it may be safer to buy a gasoline vehicle.
