"New energy vehicles have to change the battery after a few years, and some cars are more expensive than new cars to change the battery once. "This is the concern of many people about the attenuation of new energy vehicle batteries. So, after 8 years of use, what is the battery attenuation of new energy vehicles? Does it really cost 10,000 to change the battery? Below, let's listen to what veteran car owners, ride-hailing drivers and maintenance masters have to say. First of all, let's talk about the ** of the power battery. There is no doubt that the power battery is indeed expensive, and after seeing the battery replacement, the owners couldn't help but smile bitterly. For example, Mr. Huang, a Polestar 2 owner, was involved in a collision that caused severe damage to the front and chassis of the car.

During the repair process, the 4S shop informed Mr. Huang that due to the damage to the chassis aluminum plate and the battery, it could not be repaired separately and could only replace the entire battery pack. Mr. Huang never expected that the ** given by the 4S store would be as high as 540,000 yuan. Considering that the official guide price of the top version of the model is less than 340,000 yuan, this means that the ** for a set of batteries is more expensive than a new car? What's going on here? After investigation, we learned that the manufacturer's after-sales department said that ** is determined according to the actual situation of the 4S store, and there is no fixed **. The sales staff of the 4S store involved said that the cost of replacing the entire group of batteries and labor was about 400,000 yuan.

In the end, through the communication between the manufacturer, the repairer, the owner and the insurance company, the insurance company decided to determine the total loss of the vehicle and pay according to the insured amount. Although the problem has been solved, we can also see that some manufacturers hand over the after-sales service of the battery to the 4S shop or a third party, and there is no clear standard, and the specific maintenance and battery replacement costs are determined by the 4S shop, so there will be such a high battery replacement**. The insurance company's determination of the vehicle as a total loss also proves from the side that the battery replacement is indeed expensive, otherwise the insurance company will not choose to pay for the total loss.

According to industry insiders, the cost of replacing the battery of new energy vehicles includes the cost of the battery itself, the cost of other consumables required to replace the battery, and the cost of manual installation. The cost of the battery per kilowatt-hour is about 800 yuan or more, and the cost of the battery generally accounts for about 40% to 50% of the cost of the whole vehicle. However, the cost of loading is different for different car companies. Taking Xpeng P7 as an example, the ** of replacing the battery is about 8-100,000 yuan, while Tesla is relatively expensive, according to different models and battery capacity, the ** of the battery is even more than 200,000 yuan.

At present, the vast majority of new energy vehicles on the market use ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are affected by their own material properties, and with the increase of use time and mileage, the life of the battery will gradually decay. Even if you rarely drive, or even park there all the time, you can't avoid the degradation of the battery. Although the best battery replacement is indeed prohibitive, we cannot ignore the many advantages of new energy vehicles. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have the characteristics of lower energy consumption and more environmental protection, and also enjoy the best subsidy policy.

In addition, with the continuous progress of science and technology, the battery technology of new energy vehicles is also constantly improving, and the life and performance of the battery will also be improved. Therefore, there are still many factors worth considering when buying a new energy vehicle. In summary, the first battery of new energy vehicles is indeed expensive, and the cost of replacing the battery is also a problem that cannot be ignored. However, with the progress of science and technology and market competition, it is believed that battery technology and after-sales service will continue to improve, and the service life and performance of batteries will also be improved. Therefore, for consumers who are ready to buy new energy vehicles, they need to comprehensively consider the advantages and disadvantages of the vehicle and make a wise choice.

You must have heard the saying that the battery life of new energy vehicles is only a few years, or even two or three years to replace the battery, so that new energy vehicles are not as cost-effective as traditional fuel vehicles. But is this statement really true? First of all, we need to understand the life of the battery. According to the national standard, after 1000 cycles of charging, the remaining capacity of the battery should not be less than 80%. For a pure electric vehicle, assuming that its actual range is 300 kilometers, driving 20,000 kilometers per year, and it needs to consume a cycle of charging every 3 days, then the number of 1,000 cycles can be used for at least 8 years, or even 14 years.

Therefore, judging from the number of cycle charges, the power battery can be used for a long time. Secondly, the battery technology of new energy vehicles is constantly developing and improving. Eight years ago, battery technology was still in its infancy, and the range was relatively limited. But after so many years of technological development, the durability of the battery has been greatly improved, and the cruising range has also been significantly improved. As a result, battery life and range are now no longer an issue. Finally, we can also look at some practical examples. For example, many of the taxis and ride-hailing vehicles in Beijing are new energy vehicles, and these vehicles have performed very well in terms of battery life and range after a long period of use.

In other words, the statement that the battery life of new energy vehicles is short is inaccurate. To sum up, although the battery of new energy vehicles is relatively high, its life does not need to be worried too much. With the continuous development and improvement of battery technology, the life and mileage of batteries are constantly improving, and it is believed that new energy vehicles will become more and more popular with everyone. Have you ever worried about the battery life of your electric car? Did you hear that the battery life of electric vehicles is only two or three years, and you feel a little afraid to buy it? However, the reality is not as we think. The personal experience of ride-hailing and taxi drivers tells us that the battery life of electric vehicles is not so short.

A relative owns an electric car with a mileage of more than 100,000 kilometers per year, and the battery life of his electric car shows good condition, driving 19 in three yearsAt 20,000 kilometers, the battery decay is only about 17%, which is far lower than the battery degradation rate stated on the Internet. The data released by Tesla also proves that after driving more than 320,000 kilometers, the battery capacity decreases by about 12% on average. The 8-year or 160,000-kilometer vehicle warranty service of car companies also means that the overall quality of electric vehicles is guaranteed. Of course, in order to make the battery life of electric vehicles longer, we should also drive carefully in daily use, use regular charging facilities, pay attention to maintenance and purchase battery insurance.

The battery life of an electric car cannot be ignored, but we should not worry too much about it.
