Do you know? Recently, the two major foreign car rental giants have played a "cross-border reversal" and staged a big drama from pure electric vehicles to fuel vehicles. Among them, a Bamboo Union boss in the United States actually ruthlessly sold 20,000 pure electric vehicles, including Tesla, this wave of operations, including Tesla, is almost equivalent to emptying one-third of its electric vehicle inventory, and using the money to buy back fuel vehicles. As soon as the news came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, and Tesla's stock price responded**287%。Coincidentally, a large leasing company in Germany has also kept up with the pace of this "contrarian trend", and the reasons given are quite down-to-earth: the maintenance cost and failure rate of electric vehicles after collision are much higher than those of fuel vehicles, and the residual value in the later stage is low, in order to hold the silver in their pockets, they have to reluctantly cut their love.
This turn of events makes people wonder about the vision of electric vehicles. You know, the advantages of electric vehicles have been touted to countless people, but I didn't expect that there are also many hidden problems. Let's take the story of Baoding bus as an example, because the cost of replacing a battery is as high as more than 600,000 yuan, and finally we can only reluctantly replace the new energy bus back to fuel vehicles. According to a mysterious survey data on the cost of car maintenance, in the event of an accident, the average maintenance cost of an electric vehicle is about 3,000 yuan higher than that of a fuel vehicle, and this does not include the cost of battery replacement! Even though the cost of batteries has gone down, once a battery fails, the amount of money needed to repair or replace it can still be a source of concern.
Let's talk about the integrated and intelligent design of today's new energy vehicles, such as intelligent cockpits, various induction radars, and highly integrated chassis structures. After all, once these high-tech things are damaged, they can't be repaired by just a master.
Therefore, we still have to return to that key point: the development of new energy vehicles should not only make consumers affordable, but also make them affordable to use and repair. Otherwise, the development of new energy may be choked by high maintenance costs. Just imagine, if your electric car has to pay a lot more repair costs than a gasoline car because of a small accident, will you still feel that the original choice is wise?
On this topic, we might as well start a heated discussion: how to ensure the advanced technology of new energy vehicles, while reducing the cost of later use and maintenance? How can we make new energy vehicles truly enter thousands of households and become the favorite of consumers, rather than a daunting high-tech "luxury"? Dear readers, do you have any unique insights and suggestions? Welcome to leave a message to share, and explore the way for the future of new energy vehicles together.
