Before you consider buying a new energy vehicle, there are six important things you need to think about. If you buy a car without thinking these things through, chances are you'll regret it.
First of all, don't buy a new energy vehicle just to save money. Although you may save some money on gas, in terms of car price, pure electric vehicles of the same level will usually cost tens of thousands of yuan more than fuel vehicles. Also, you need to consider issues such as the car's value retention, battery drain, and insurance costs. Generally speaking, the insurance premium of new energy vehicles is about 1,000 yuan higher than that of fuel vehicles.
Secondly, you need to consider whether there are conditions to install a charging pile at home. If not, charging can become very cumbersome. You may need to charge on a "flying wire", or charge outside, which is not only a waste of time, but the electricity bill outside is often much higher than at home charging stations. Therefore, before buying a new energy vehicle, you need to confirm whether your community allows the installation of charging piles, especially for some old communities, the property may reject your application due to power load or site problems. In addition, the installation of charging piles usually requires long-term rental or property rights parking spaces, and temporary parking spaces are not allowed.
Third, if your family is only planning to buy one car and has the need to travel long distances, then you need to be extra cautious when buying an electric car. Pure electric vehicles may encounter a lot of difficulties and inconveniences when charging outside.
Fourth, after buying a new energy vehicle, the insurance must be fully bought. Some experienced drivers may only buy compulsory traffic insurance or third-party liability insurance, and few people will go out of their way to buy car damage insurance. However, it should be noted that the maintenance cost of new energy vehicles is usually high, so it is very necessary to purchase car damage insurance.
In addition, don't be fooled by the salesperson's propaganda about the power performance of new energy vehicles. When driving in the city, great power doesn't necessarily come into play.
Finally, new energy vehicles are currently in a stage of rapid development, just like mobile phones, with new versions being launched every year. If you plan to buy a new energy vehicle, you should be prepared for the need to change vehicles at any time. New energy vehicles are updated much faster than gasoline vehicles, and this trend will not change in the short term, which may also mean that your replacement cycle will be shortened accordingly.
In general, you need to carefully consider the above factors before buying a new energy vehicle. Blindly following the trend or listening to the sales propaganda and buying a new energy vehicle is likely to make you a "leek" or a guinea pig, and you may regret it after buying it.
