Have you ever heard of the "thunder" incident of Gaohe Automobile? Initially, it was reported that the salary for January would not be paid a year ago, and then the year-end bonus was cancelled. At the beginning of the new year, there was news of a shutdown on the first day of work, and it was planned to stop work for up to six months.
This has made many consumers cautious about buying new energy models under the umbrella of Gaohe Automobile. Today, let's sort out a few new energy vehicles that you must not consider buying in 2024.
The first to bear the brunt is Hiphi Y. In the "thunder" incident of Gaohe Automobile, not only HiPhi Y, but also HiPhi X and HiPhi Z, which are owned by HiHe, have become objects that cannot be underestimated.
Although Gaohe Automobile has only announced a six-month shutdown, once the production is stopped, it will face a series of problems related to after-sales, maintenance and subsequent OTA upgrades. Especially for this kind of "intelligent" model, the lack of follow-up OTA support means that potential bugs cannot be fixed.
If there is an emergency such as crash or black screen during driving, it will become very dangerous. In addition, once the core components are damaged, repairing them will become a major problem. Such a model is clearly not worth considering.
When it comes to expanding the automobile manufacturing industry horizontally, Skyworth can be said to be one step ahead of Xiaomi. In 2019, TiMi Auto was founded and launched its first model, the ET5, which was officially launched (note that this ET5 has the same name as the NIO ET5).
However, sales were dismal and almost no one cared about it. This model later evolved into the Skyworth EV6, but obviously, even with the Skyworth name, sales are still poor.
I've heard of sofas, color TVs, and large refrigerators as the selling point of the ideal car, but you would never have imagined that the selling point of SkyworthEV6 is actually health, health, and even said that sleeping in the car can improve physical health, which is really "wonderful".
What's even more outrageous is that in the C-NCAP CAERI crash test, it only got a 1-star score, and many items were 0 points. It's better to be far away from such a car.
bring your own kitchen", and you can't cook a good meal. Polar Stone 01 may not be heard of by many people, after all, it is a car made by a company that makes sweeping robots. Not only is the target ideal L7, but as soon as it comes up, it is close to the starting price of 350,000, which is really shocking.
In fact, the two still have something in common, and they do not have the qualifications to make cars, so the third-party OEM they are looking for, and even the power system is equipped with Mianyang Xinchen power like the ideal.
But in the market segment, Polar Stone is completely different from the ideal positioning. Polar Stone 01, known as "one bedroom, one living room and one kitchen", converts the trunk into a kitchen, and is equipped with camping equipment such as a canopy. It is estimated that even the ideal will have to cry when he sees it.
Unfortunately, the market won't buy it. The ideal seems to be on the wrong side, but the positioning of the family dad is in market demand, and the positioning of the kitchen car is still too niche.
If you buy such a car, do you really have to cook every day? Of course, the most important thing is that Polar Stone has no car-making background at all, how the technology comes from, and how to guarantee the reliability. Do you dare to buy it?
The popularity of Hechuang Automobile is relatively low, and today only its predecessors, GAC and NIO, are well-known. However, now it seems that the company has been reduced to a forgotten existence.
As a result, the A06 has only sold a few dozen units per month since it was launched in 22 years. This is mainly due to the mediocre performance of the product and the lack of attractiveness of the brand. Hechuang A06 is destined not to become famous in one fell swoop.
Although the entry-level version of the A06 is only less than 140,000 yuan, the positioning of the medium-sized sedan seems to be very cost-effective, but in the field of pure electric cars, the lack of distinctive product labels and strong brand support makes it difficult to survive.
In fact, the Aiways U5 has been discontinued, but there are still many stock cars of the Aiways U5 on the market. The 17-year-old model initially attracted attention because its founder, Fu Qiang, had held senior positions in companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volvo.
However, in just 7 years, sales have been poor, the capital chain has been broken, and last year it was exposed that employees were in arrears of wages, office rent, factory shutdowns and many other negative news.
In January, Aiways, which was on the verge of shutting down, saw a number of enforcement cases emerge, all of which were directed at the company. At present, Aiways is still listed as a dishonest person subject to execution, so the prospect of Aiways U5 is even more worrisome.
In the ever-changing market competition, both Hechuang Automobile and Aiways are facing a difficult situation. This also reminds us once again that success is not easy to achieve, and requires solid product strength and reliable brand operation.
Tianji Auto developed earlier than most brands in the new energy vehicle industry. As early as 2015, Dianka Automobile (now Tianji Automobile) was established, and behind it was the high-profile LeEco company.
However, in order to draw a clear line with the LeTV brand, Dianka Auto officially changed its name to Tianji Auto and launched a new logo. The Skyrim ME5 is regarded as an out-of-print model of Skyrim Cars.
In the first half of last year, Tianji Automobile was caught in a storm of production suspension and shutdown, and since then there has been almost no news about Tianji Automobile in the market. Although the Skyrim ME5 is still on sale at the moment, most of the vehicles are already in stock.
Buyers may face risks in after-sales service and maintenance at any time, and even the on-board system may be down at any time, just like WM Motor at the beginning.
