First, the maintenance price of electric vehicles
The cheapest is brake fluid, 87 yuan; Next to it is coolant, 1 14 yuan; Air conditioning filter element (CN95), price 157 yuan; Front wiper blade 198 yuan. Then the front and rear brake discs are priced at 863 yuan and 72 1 yuan respectively; The prices of front and rear brake pad components are 13 16 yuan and 859 yuan respectively; If your small battery needs to be replaced, it needs 1043 yuan.
There are two kinds of tires, Goodyear and Marvin, 2 1 inch Goodyear tire 19 16 yuan each; 2 1 inch continental tire, regular version 1978 yuan/piece, 2 in 1 (mute+self-repair) 2273 yuan; 22-inch European tires, the regular version is 2298 yuan/piece, and the two-in-one (mute+self-repair) is 2599 yuan. If you think this is no longer cheap, don't worry, look down.
The drive motor Krypton 00 1 is equipped with two different motors, which are made in Japan and Wei Rui respectively. The front and rear motors are 29,837 yuan, while Wei Rui is more expensive, with the front motor being 39,734 yuan and the rear motor being 39 16 1 yuan. Finally, the power battery is the core of electric vehicles. Krypton 00 1 is divided into 86 kwh and 100 kwh. The former is asking for 1492 14 yuan, while the latter is as high as 19747 yuan, with a difference of 14 degrees, and * * totals 50,000 yuan. Of course, it should be noted that the above maintenance materials are all genuine parts of Krypton brand, and they are only reference prices, and other expenses may be incurred in actual maintenance.
2. Why is the maintenance of new energy vehicles so expensive?
It is mainly related to the manufacturing technology, market scale and post-market structure of new energy vehicles. The high maintenance cost of new energy vehicles is related to the high cost of spare parts. The "three big parts" of a pure electric vehicle are battery, motor and electronic control, especially the battery is the most expensive, accounting for about 40%~60% of the total cost of the vehicle. Of the 540,000 sky-high maintenance fees mentioned above, only 90,000 is the fixed loss price of the front part, and the remaining 400,000 is the price of replacing the battery pack. The same is true of Chery EQ. 69,000 yuan to replace batteries is more expensive than buying a new car.
It is not difficult to understand this seemingly opposite phenomenon: the price of new energy vehicles purchased by car owners is the price of car companies after diluting various costs in mass production. Even some car companies sell cars at zero profit or even at a loss in order to seize market share, but spare parts are quoted at market price during after-sales maintenance, which leads to higher replacement cost of spare parts.
It should be noted that although many new energy automobile manufacturers have introduced the "Three Power Lifetime Warranty", only the product design or quality problems are allowed to be replaced free of charge; Man-made or accidental accidents, such as collision, flood, fire, etc., cause the three power systems to need maintenance, which is not covered by the lifetime warranty. This means that in most cases, after-sales maintenance such as battery, motor and electronic control needs to be solved by the owner himself.
In addition, the absolute number of new energy vehicles is still low, which is one of the reasons for the high price of spare parts. Although the development of new energy vehicles has ushered in a big explosion in the past two years, at present, the national ownership only exceeds 1 1 10,000 vehicles, accounting for less than 3% of the total vehicle ownership, and has not yet formed a scale, resulting in the cost control of new energy vehicle spare parts is not as good as that of fuel vehicles.
At the same time, some parts of new energy vehicles have high technical requirements, and it is difficult for third-party suppliers to imitate them. The relatively single source of parts also makes the pricing power of new energy automobile parts in the hands of a few suppliers. Not only the core spare parts, but also the improvement of intelligence and the application of new manufacturing technology have pushed up the maintenance cost of new energy vehicles.
For example, the integrated die casting technology used in Tesla models can simplify the number of parts and make the body structure stronger. However, if the vehicle collides or is damaged, it may involve replacing the body panel in a large area, which means that the owner needs to spend more maintenance fees.
In addition to the integrated die casting technology, the integrated body battery technology applied in some models of BYD, Zero Run and other brands can integrate the battery pack with the vehicle chassis, but it can reduce the packaging thickness of the battery pack, increase the vehicle space and improve the body rigidity. However, if the vehicle chassis is hit, the battery may be damaged, and the maintenance may face the double expenditure cost of the chassis and the battery.
With the continuous improvement of intelligence, new energy vehicles need to integrate more software and precision accessories, such as millimeter-wave radar and laser radar. If a rear-end collision occurs, it may not only involve replacing the bumper, but also the radar and assembly embedded in it. More importantly, although China's new energy vehicle market has entered an explosive growth stage, the pattern of the new energy vehicle maintenance market has not yet been finalized, and the service supply gap is large, which leads to the lack of the right to speak when car owners choose maintenance points.
Compared with fuel vehicles, most new energy automobile enterprises do not adopt the traditional 4S shop model of fuel vehicles in channel construction, but basically adopt the direct sales model, which also directly affects the after-sales service-that is, the maintenance parts system and stores are mainly authorized by the main manufacturers and self-operated stores. Tesla, Weilai, Ideality and Tucki all adopt self-operated and foreign cooperation modes to expand brand maintenance service channels. Among them, Weilai and Tucki not only have their own after-sales service centers, but also outsource their business to the after-sales maintenance enterprise "Huasheng".
