How cost effective is the cost of new energy vehicles? Do the math for you

The 2024 Spring Festival is coming soon, are you thinking about driving home for the New Year? Is gas too expensive? Is it inconvenient to maintain the car in your hometown? It doesn't matter, let's get straight to the point, just talk about dry goods, is the cost of new energy vehicles really cheaper than fuel vehicles? Is driving the tram home a false proposition? Take a closer look and you'll see surprises.

Let's talk about the cost of buying a car first, buying a new energy vehicle can be exempted from the purchase tax, which can save tens of thousands of dollars compared to fuel vehicles. In addition, the cost of using the car, with the use of normal wear and tear tires, wiper blades, air conditioning filters, and brake fluid coolant is also an expense, and the biggest difference with fuel vehicles is that there is no oil filter, which is often said to be a small maintenance, and it can also save a lot of costs. Some friends' hometown may be relatively far away from the 4S store, and the maintenance may be really inconvenient, so the tram saves this trouble.

In recent years, there are more and more friends who drive new energy vehicles, we must have experienced the troubles brought by the commercial insurance premiums of their own cars, taking my Tesla as an example, the first and second year premiums of new cars are at least 30%-40%, about 4500 yuan to 8000 yuan, but they are the same insurance company, the same insurance location, the same person, and there is no insurance, I personally feel that the sales of new energy vehicles have skyrocketed in the first two years, and the safety accidents of vehicles have become relatively more. In particular, Tesla is often at the top of the world, but fortunately, in the past two years, the coefficient of insurance is, , the algorithm has been continuously improved, and the premium tends to be stable, so the premium part does not save you money, but may be higher than the premium of the fuel car at the same price.

The next thing is the most relevant to everyone's daily car, the cost of travel. After changing from a fuel car to a Model Y, the biggest feeling is that it is really convenient for pure electric vehicles to be unrestricted, according to the use of 20,000 kilometers a year, if it is a fuel car, it must be maintained at least twice a year, and it will cost 700-800 at a time, which is not a small cost. BEVs, on the other hand, do not have an engine, so they do not incur fuel maintenance costs such as oil, oil filters, air cleaners, gasoline filters, and spark plugs. Compared with the same level of fuel vehicles, the five-year maintenance cost of pure electric vehicles is reduced by at least 50%.

Then there is the charging cost, according to the household pile to calculate, the household electricity price is 0475 yuan per degree, with my model y to calculate, full of 77 degrees of ternary lithium battery is calculated according to 40 yuan, my nedc battery life is 594 kilometers, we run up to 400 kilometers according to the winter warm wind discount, 01 yuan km, just ask if the province is provincial?

Let me explain here, and the Tesla Model Y model in 2024 has ushered in an update, compared with me, the first batch of models in China, whether it is battery life, driving comfort and intelligence, it has been improved. All models are equipped with a new generation of automatic driving assistance hardware (HW4.).0), the appearance of the new exclusive "fast silver" paint, and the use of flame red instead of Chinese red, starry gray instead of cold silver, can be said to be very worth starting.

Someone here raises the bar, you have a home charge, the cost of fast charging is high, OK, let's calculate another account. According to the fast charging pile, 2 yuan per degree, which is 5 times that of home charging, 05 yuan km, 50 yuan cost per 100 km.

Gasoline is now in accordance with Beijing's **8 these days33 liters, according to 2The comprehensive fuel consumption of the 0t engine is 10L 100km, and the cost of 100km is 83 yuan. Of course, there will also be bar spirits here, because in the "oil and electricity war", refueling vs charging is a topic that cannot be bypassed. Fuel vehicle owners always think that charging is more troublesome than refueling, but with the expansion of the charging network, charging is no longer a pain point for electric vehicle owners, and it is even more convenient than refueling.

When I go to a shopping mall or an office building, I can find a charging pile in the parking lot, and the electricity will be charged after I finish the work, without any time cost. Especially after I installed the home charging pile, I 'plug and charge' after returning home from work, and set off directly with full power the next day, without the anxiety of replenishing energy at all.

In addition to Tesla, the charging network is still expanding rapidly. At present, our domestic highways, the city's fast charging piles, have been fully covered, basically to find a place to charge, is not very difficult, so drive a long way, if you plan the number of charging times and charging location, there is no problem to get home safely and calmly. But I personally suggest that we should make it clear that the mission of electric vehicles is not often used to run high-speed across provinces, and more functions are still commuting to you. During the long holiday, the highway queues up to charge, which should be paid special attention to, make a plan, and it is recommended to find a charging pile to charge at the highway.

Of course, in addition to really saving money compared to fuel vehicles at the same price, there are many benefits of pure electric vehicles. For example, the warm air heats up quickly, most of them are equipped with seat heating and even steering wheel heating, traffic jams do not have to worry about fuel money, etc., but it cannot be denied that the value retention rate of pure electric vehicles is not high at present, and generally after a year, fuel vehicles are 20% off, and pure electric vehicles are not so strong, and second-hand new energy vehicles rarely take over. But I believe that with the continuous iteration of technology and the continuous improvement of everyone's acceptance of new energy, these will no longer be a problem in the end.
