'Would you like to buy a new energy car? Which one is suitable? How much does the car subsidy? Can you shake your cards? Is there any trouble with the car? ' These are the problems that have been plaguing Xiaoan recently.
Xiaoan, drifting north, decided to buy a new energy car in order to solve the problem of commute to work. 'Don’t want to crowd the subway. It takes more than two hours to go to work every day. There are too many people in the subway, and often they cannot get up. It’s too hard.' Xiaoan told reporters.
In addition to these problems, the types of electric vehicles on the market are pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, which models are good, policy subsidies are good, how charging piles are built, how insurance is put into place, and how after-sales service is needed. Things to consider.
Unlike Xiao An, who wants to buy new energy vehicles, Lin Lin, who is in Hebei, has had two years of new energy vehicle driving. Lin Lin's spit on a brand of new energy vehicles is mainly focused on charging.
Lin Lin said that due to the lack of a fixed parking space in the community, the charging pile could not be recharged. Only one wire from home could be charged. 'Fortunately, the floor is not high, and a piece of open space is still under the window to stop. Every night I arrived home the first time. The thing is to charge the car, even if it's only 80% of the charge for the next day. But if you go to a public charging station, it's a long time for the team. It's not easy to waste time.'
The 'high' result of subsidy policy
At this stage, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Tianjin, Guiyang and other cities are implementing the “Limited Brand” policy of ordinary cars. For the New Energy Department cars, most cities can increase the success rate through a separate Yaohao system or Directly to obtain on-licensing indicators. Therefore, the purchase of new energy vehicles has become the primary choice for people to solve the licensing problem on the Yaohao.
Xiaoan also said: 'I have been shaking hands since 2014 but I have not been able to win it until now. This year's new energy vehicle indicators have increased, so I will be more determined to buy new energy vehicles, so that the car can be taken on the road in June.'
Since the rise of new energy vehicles, the government has begun to implement high subsidies. Some experts said that China’s subsidies for new energy vehicles may be the highest in the world. Calculated in accordance with last year's standards, most pure electric vehicles can get 4-5 per vehicle. Approximately 10,000 yuan in subsidies; and there are opportunities to get subsidies at the provincial/municipal/county level.
For buyers, the temptation to reduce the budget for buying cars is too great. In addition, from the data, the main purchasing power of new energy vehicles is concentrated in the first-tier cities and second-tier cities. To a certain extent, it is because the third- and fourth-tier cities do not have such a high purchase subsidy. .
Of course, it is precisely because of the huge temptation of huge subsidies that some companies are taking the “risk to go” to carry out policy arbitrage, which is why people often see the car companies “covert”—in case of unsold vehicles before the early application of subsidies and other illegal cases Being exposed. Prior to this, Yaobei News also reported on a 4S shop salesperson for a new energy automobile brand in Shanghai. From 2016 to April 2017, they successively defrauded 62 people with subsidy fraud to nearly 3 million yuan.
Moreover, some companies have launched so-called new energy models under attractive subsidy. The short time from R&D to manufacturing has been astounding, compared to the large number of tests that conventional cars undergo before going public. Is the safety of new energy vehicles really guaranteed?
'Puffy' car prices
In fact, during the investigation, the reporter found that many consumers who want to buy a new energy car or have already purchased are vomiting that the car price is too high. Although there is a low subsidy, but in the eyes of buyers, the actual price is actually the price itself. The value of the car is really not a benefit under the subsidy.
At present, China's new energy vehicles have not yet formed a unified pricing system and pricing standards. The cost of each model is not clear to each car company. It is also difficult to measure the actual price of each car. The value is still imaginary. Therefore, we cannot give a clear definition for the problem of high prices for most electric vehicles. In addition, there is no complete marketization for the new energy automobile industry at this stage. Qi. However, the government’s high subsidies have objectively pushed up the pricing of new energy vehicles. It is affirmed by many people in the industry.
At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Finance issued a subsidy standard for new energy vehicles in 2018. From February 12 to June 11 is the transitional period. During the period of the new energy passenger car on the card, the passenger car is subsidized at 0.7 times the 2017 standard. The subsidy for special vehicles is 0.4 times. According to this, the subsidy amount of new energy vehicles will generally decline, and micro-pure electric vehicles will be severely hit. Only mid- to high-end pure electric vehicles with cruising range over 300km can benefit from the New Deal. With the gradual standardization of industry development, the pricing of new energy vehicles in the future may gradually become healthier.
Battery becomes an area of anxiety for users
According to the “2017 China Auto Consumer Survey Report,” users’ consideration of new energy vehicles’ charging, battery life, and technical stability is also a major concern in buying new energy vehicles. Lin Lin told reporters, 'Every day charging is already very It's annoying, and the car often goes through a variety of problems while driving.
There are few charging piles: When the car is about to run out of power, many car owners have encountered it. It is too late to return home and can only find a public charging pile. It wastes the power to find one and finds that it is not charged. The card or card does not match. It is too late to find the next charging station. 'No way, only vehicle assistance.'
Although the new energy automotive industry has ushered in blowout development, the development of charging piles and basic charging facilities has not been synchronized with it. By the end of 2017, there were a total of 446,000 public and private charging facilities nationwide, of which, the public charging piles were 214,000. A year-on-year increase of 51%, but the number of new energy vehicles is about 1.729 million. The ratio of cars to truck piles is about 3.9:1. The growth rate of charging piles is far from enough.
At the same time, with regard to the private charging piles, the charging voltage is higher than the residential electricity voltage, and the current is strong. Many residential properties have doubts about whether the installation of charging piles will cause impact on the residents' electricity use, and they are afraid to affect the normal life of residents. Even charging The pile avoids some safety hazards at the beginning of design. The property is still worried about management inconvenience, and the fire department is also worried about safety accidents.
Inconvenient charging mode: In the charging mode selection, the charging line has always been the user's most important charging mode. Among users, 60%-80% of users mostly use the cable slow charging method at home and unit parking lot and other charging locations. The fast charge of charging places only accounts for 20%-40% of the users. It is understood that in some county-level cities, although the sales market for new energy vehicles is booming, there is almost no public charging pile for the entire town, so-called new energy vehicles. Are used to pull the cable charging.
Lin Lin said that due to the lack of a fixed parking space in the community, she couldn't charge the charging pile. She could only receive a wire from her home to charge her. This method was also called by the new energy owners dubbed the 'flying line'.
Battery life is poor: New energy vehicles are characterized by the conservation of fuel energy, but also a lot of car life is poor, generally go to places farther away in the city is prone to problems, which is one of the fatal problems of new energy vehicles.
According to the survey data, in the complaints concerning new energy vehicles, the proportion of problems related to power batteries has reached 40% to 50%, and the 'mileage range' has resulted in insufficient cruising range, the battery has decayed too quickly, and the battery's 'jump' has changed. , Severe decline in winter life and other issues have caused new energy vehicle users a lot of trouble.
Lin Lin had once drove her own electric car, the power suddenly dropped from 40% to 20%, after a few minutes the car was no longer forced to park on the road. According to knowing that netizens reported that the new energy car power suddenly jump The problem often occurs when there is little battery life. For the majority of users, this means that the car needs more high-frequency charging and higher power costs.
Repair/sales is also a big problem
At present, there are relatively few new energy vehicles that people can accept, and there are not many repair shops. Basically, they can only go to 4S stores for maintenance and maintenance, and the cost will naturally be relatively high.
Shi Feng of Beijing indicated that she purchased a new energy car in 2015. She had already repaired several parts such as batteries and brakes just 10,000 kilometers away. Among them, the battery was unable to be charged for several times and could not be accelerated. During the process, the power suddenly fell to zero, and the car stopped in the middle of the road, which severely hampered traffic. When the vehicle was pushed to the side of the road, the car lost its brakes and hit the wall, almost hurting people. The 4S shop received complaints. , but also one-sided reply can be repaired, but did not give timely feedback of any substantial significance.
In addition, the iteration speed of new energy vehicles surpasses the 18-month cycle of electronic equipment. Although the amount of holdings gradually increases, both manufacturers and consumers seem to see the dawn of the new energy vehicle market, but the value of new energy vehicles in the used car market is still high. The worst in history - it's like a disposable item.
Mr. Liu bought an electric car in 2013. In early 2016, he wanted to change his new car. However, when he was working with an old car, he found that the car spent about 120,000 yuan in pure electric cars and was rejected by most car dealers in the second-hand market. , And willing to purchase only willing to bid around 10,000 yuan. In just 4 years, the loss of nearly 100,000 yuan, which is compared with the traditional car's residual value, it is unacceptable. The reporter passed a used car Platform inquiries also found that the deteriorating situation of new energy vehicles is very serious.
The power of new energy vehicles is directly linked with the battery power. On the one hand, the capacity of the battery is attenuated after many times of charge and discharge, and the value of the electric vehicle is naturally compromised. On the other hand, many vehicles' batteries need to be used after 5-8 years of use. Repair or replacement, which also means that new energy vehicles purchased from 2012 may be ushered in the battery 'elimination' tide this year. In addition, many new energy 4S stores in Beijing have slogans of 'replacement of used cars'. It is understood that the residual value rate of many electric vehicles after 5 years of use is only about 10%. Therefore, the reason why most people are unwilling to purchase used electric vehicles is understandable.
Write last
It is undeniable that under the drive of policies, the full bloom of the new energy automotive industry is a general trend, and many car companies currently occupy the next place in the market. However, new energy vehicles facilitate people's life while the quality, use and sales of new vehicles. Maintenance and other aspects also began to show signs of weakness. Although many buyers chose a new energy vehicle just for a license plate or a rule that is not subject to odds and double numbers, it was after all a big price to buy for convenience. Adding something to it is really bad!
The substitution of new energy sources for traditional energy actually takes a long process, and the replacement of fuel vehicles by new energy vehicles can never be accomplished overnight. At this stage, new energy vehicles are still relatively new technologies. The industry is in its infancy and problems occur at all stages. Controversy is also an inevitable stage of development. When problems arise and problems are solved, the industry can show its natural and healthy development.
