Is it cost-effective to buy a new energy vehicle? The biggest difference is the fuel fee.

After the Guangzhou auto limit, 1000 energy-saving and new-energy vehicle indicators are set up every month, so the benefits brought about by the new energy vehicles are obvious.

For many interested citizens, whether it is energy-saving cars or new energy vehicles, the biggest difference compared with ordinary cars is fuel economy. However, in addition to fuel economy, they still have a lot of doubts in their hearts, maintenance costs, various taxes and fees will be different? How much will it save in a few years? This reporter has specially selected two of the most mature hybrid models on the market to compare the cost with the ordinary models, so that the majority of prospective car owners have a spectrum.

The biggest difference is the fuel fee.

With 1000 indicators per month, the government subsidizes 10,000 yuan, and from the current point of view, the winning rate will remain 100% for the time being. This seems to be very attractive. However, from the actual situation in the first two months, only more than 100 citizens won the bid each month, indicating that the popularity of new energy vehicles is not high, and many people still do not understand or are not acceptable. In addition, the almost identical configuration, but the price of tens of thousands of dollars is also one of the reasons to block people from buying new energy vehicles.

Judging from the Guangzhou auto market, the more mature new energy models are mainly Camry and the LaCrosse hybrid version, and the models that have been compared this time, in addition to these two hybrid models, also have their own gasoline version. And the displacement is similar to facilitate comparison. As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the biggest difference between the cost of a hybrid model and a regular model is the fuel cost. Assuming a 20,000-kilometer trip a year, according to the respective official comprehensive fuel consumption, 8 yuan / L standard calculation, the annual car cost difference can reach 1,000 yuan to 2000 yuan. If you compare the price of the car, perhaps this two thousand dollars is not a big deal, but with the increase in the number of years of use, the saved gas bill is still quite impressive. For example, if the Camry Zunrui hybrid 2.5HG Deluxe Edition and the ordinary gasoline version are driving 90,000 kilometers, the gasoline cost will be saved by almost 20,000 yuan. Moreover, oil prices are rising in the long run. It is worth mentioning that the fuel costs in the table are calculated according to the official fuel consumption. If you often walk in the city, the actual fuel consumption will generally be much larger, and 10L/100KM is normal. If you calculate according to this standard, the fuel cost will be more.

Usually no difference in maintenance

Perhaps the reader will have doubts, the hybrid model is the same as the maintenance cost of the ordinary model? In fact, the hybrid models of these two brands are consistent with the regular maintenance of ordinary models, and there is nothing particularly different or increased, because the hybrid system is maintenance-free. Therefore, there is no more specific comparison in Table 1. In addition, premiums are also different, but because premiums are heavily influenced by personal preferences, it is difficult to make more specific comparisons.

However, the most worrying thing for the general public is the hybrid series, especially the future maintenance and maintenance of the battery. In this regard, in order to make the general public more acceptable, the manufacturers have made great guarantees in the after-sales. For example, Guangqi Toyota will launch the “8-year 200,000-kilometer hybrid battery free maintenance” service activity based on the warranty policy of 100,000 kilometers for the whole vehicle and 100,000 kilometers for the battery. The Junyue vehicle warranty period is 2 years and 60,000 kilometers, but the hybrid-related components provide a 3 year 150,000 km warranty. And the key lithium battery design life in the hybrid system is 10 years / 240,000 kilometers.

However, because of the complicated structure of hybrid gas vehicles, it often takes time and effort to repair. For the same problem, the solution and time may be different. And if there is a problem with the hybrid components, the repair company is mostly replaced.

In addition, there is also a good news. Recently, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology revealed at the Global Energy Saving and New Energy Vehicle Summit: China's long-awaited China Energy Conservation and New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2012-2020) (hereinafter referred to as "Planning" will be implemented by the State Council in the near future. It is understood that in terms of energy-saving vehicles, from 2011 to 2015, medium-heavy hybrid vehicles will likely be halved by vehicle purchase tax, consumption tax and vehicle and vessel tax. This means that after buying these two hybrid models, it will save more than 20,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly a major positive news in the future.
