"new energy vehicles are recommended to be scrapped after six years of use. why are their service lives so much shorter than those of gasoline vehicles?"
recently, yang qi (pseudonym) was going to scrap his fuel car that he had been driving for more than ten years and buy a new one. when choosing a car, he found that the car trade-in policy encouraged and supported the scrapping of new energy vehicles that were six years old.
when yang qi saw this information, he was very confused. should he buy a new energy vehicle? is the service life really so short?
the life of a vehicle is not just 6 years
if used properly, it can last a long time
recently, the ministry of commerce and seven other departments issued the "notice on further improving the work related to the old-for-new vehicle exchange" (hereinafter referred to as the "notice"), which further clarified and deployed the measures for the old-for-new vehicle exchange. according to the requirements of the "notice", the conditions for scrapping passenger cars by individuals are limited to fuel vehicles with emission standards of national iii and below (before june 30, 2011), and new energy vehicles registered before april 30, 2018.
in other words, fuel vehicles with a service life of more than 13 years can enjoy the old-for-new subsidy policy, while new energy vehicles with a service life of more than 6 years can enjoy it, which is less than half of the former. this has also caused people to worry about the short service life of new energy vehicles.
in the view of zhang xiang, director of the vodafone digital vehicle international cooperation research center, the power battery is the most important factor affecting the service life of new energy vehicles. previously, the technology of some new energy vehicles was not very mature, and the power battery decayed seriously. the policy relaxes the scrap age of new energy vehicles, guiding these models to be scrapped in advance, and consumers who bought new energy vehicles at that time can benefit. "of course, this does not mean that the service life of new energy vehicles is only 6 years. if the power battery of the model does not decay too much, it can still be used without considering scrapping."
in fact, many electric cars that are more than six years old still perform well and are far from being scrapped. wang yue (pseudonym) bought a pure electric car eight years ago, which he basically used for commuting to get off work, with a total mileage of just over 60,000 kilometers. "i was also worried when i bought the car, but in actual use, the battery has decayed by less than 20%. as long as it is properly charged and discharged and maintained, it will not be a big problem to drive it for another five or six years."
battery technology has greatly improved
the service life may exceed that of fuel vehicles
the latest data from the china passenger car association shows that in august, the national passenger car retail sales reached 1.905 million units, a month-on-month increase of 10.8%. among them, the new energy passenger car market retail sales reached 1.027 million units, a month-on-month increase of 17.0%. the proportion of new energy vehicle retail sales exceeded 50% again, reaching 53.9%. buying new energy vehicles has become the first choice for many young people when buying cars.
as battery technology continues to upgrade, the service life of new energy vehicles will become longer and longer, even exceeding that of fuel vehicles.
at present, many newly launched new energy vehicles adopt 800v architecture, which not only significantly improves charging speed and efficiency, but also slows down battery degradation to a certain extent, improving the overall performance and service life of the battery. in order to dispel consumers' concerns, many car companies provide battery warranties of up to 8 years or 120,000 kilometers, and some brands even provide lifetime warranties.
for example, geely's latest aegis dagger battery has a safe driving range of up to 1 million kilometers. based on the estimate that an ordinary family car travels 20,000 kilometers a year, the aegis dagger battery can be "in service" for up to 50 years, significantly delaying the retirement time of the battery cell and increasing the residual value of second-hand pure electric vehicles.
in addition, car companies such as nio have introduced a battery swap model, which improves the efficiency of energy replenishment while car owners do not have to worry about battery degradation. "a customer's home does not have the conditions to install a charging pile, but his home is very close to a battery swap station. since buying a car, he has gone to the battery swap station to swap batteries about once every two weeks, and he can get a fully charged battery in five or six minutes, which is very convenient." nio car sales told chao news reporters.
