Don't save money on buying a tram? Listen to me!
It is estimated that by the end of 2023, the total number of new energy vehicles in China is expected to exceed 20 million units, of which the proportion of new energy vehicle sales is expected to exceed 40%.
As a result, a significant proportion of consumers are now opting for new electric vehicles rather than traditional gasoline vehicles.
But despite the popularity of electric vehicles, I would still suggest that if you have to drive somewhere to save money, or if you think about it, you may not be able to save much money by reducing a few kilometers in a year.
In fact, I have made a simple mathematical model for you, such as fuel cars and electric vehicles, worth 130,000, Civic, Volkswagen ID3, through five years of operating expenses and depreciation, and finally get a five-year comprehensive fuel consumption, if 10,000 kilometers per year, the gap between the two will not be very large.
Although the same model costs 13 W dollars, in fact, the Volkswagen ID3 is a little worse than the Civic, so in real life, it is more reliable to buy the Civic.
This time, we took the total number of trips from 130,000 to 500,000 or even 1 million – if you don't travel a long distance, let's say 10,000 km a year, you don't save at all by buying an urban rail car.
But why is that? We all know that rail vehicles do not use gas, but only to charge the car, and the cost of electricity is lower than the cost of fuel. However, for a 10,000-kilometre trip in a year, the difference between fuel and electricity costs can reach $20,000 to $30,000.
And the insurance and other insurance premiums are also 500-1000 US dollars, so the real savings will be lower.
Plus, you don't have to charge at a charging station at home all the time, and the difference is even smaller when charging outdoors. If you're using a gasoline car, then you don't have to think about recharging. However, charging stations are more inconvenient because you have to drive your car to the highway outside the city, which is much more troublesome than a car powered by gasoline.
In terms of quality assurance of fuel vehicles and street cars, in the case of reduced mileage, rail vehicles and fuel vehicles cannot save much money.
However, rail transit is also beneficial, fast acceleration, high sense of science and technology, more developed national rail transit tools, more display screens, and more convenient to use, but to save costs, you need to choose carefully.
