Today, when the boom of new energy vehicles is sweeping the world, policy dividends and the active layout of car companies have made electric vehicles mushroom into the public eye. However, despite the high enthusiasm for new energy vehicles, many consumers are still cautious in the face of the transition from gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles, and even make it clear that they are not willing to change cars easily. Behind this, there are multiple complex considerations.
Endurance anxiety is undoubtedly a big stone in the hearts of consumers. A traditional fuel truck can easily last five or six hundred kilometers with a full tank of fuel, and you can move forward without worrying about long-distance travel by simply planning a route. In contrast, although the nominal range of electric vehicles can also reach five or six hundred kilometers, in actual use, affected by multiple factors such as temperature, driving speed, and on-board equipment, the range is often greatly reduced. Especially in cold weather or at high speeds, the speed of power consumption is worrying. A car owner who often needs to travel across cities shared that in the past, he only needed to refuel on the way to drive a petrol car, but after changing to a tram, he had to carefully plan the charging point before each trip, for fear of running out of power halfway, and this anxiety made him feel pressured. During the peak travel period during holidays, the queuing phenomenon of charging piles in the service area makes him even more discouraged from electric vehicles.
The convenience of charging facilities is also an important factor for consumers to be reluctant to change cars. Gas stations can be found all over the city, and the refueling process is quick and easy, and you can start with a full charge in a few minutes. EV charging, on the other hand, is relatively cumbersome, with a limited number of public charging piles, uneven distribution, and slow charging speed, even if it is fast, it takes more than half an hour. A car owner once came home at night and found that the battery was insufficient, and the nearby charging pile was either faulty or occupied, and finally had to drive farther to find it, wasting a lot of time.
购车与养车成本方面,电动车虽然在使用阶段电费较低,但购车成本往往高于同配置的油车。电动车的保值率也是一大痛点。油车使用几年后仍能保持良好价值,而电动车电池性能随时间下降,二手市场价格跌幅较大。一位车主两年前花费二十多万购买的电动车,如今二手市场价值已减半,让他深感痛心。在保养方面,电动车涉及复杂的电池、电控系统,维修成本高昂,且需专业4S店处理,让不少车主望而却步。
In addition to rational considerations, driving feelings and emotional factors are also the reasons why many car owners are reluctant to change cars. Veteran drivers have a deep emotional attachment to the roar of gasoline trucks and the rhythm of shifting, and electric vehicles cannot provide the same driving passion. Some car owners' oil trucks have been with them for many years, experienced countless ups and downs, and have established a deep relationship with each other, which is difficult to part with easily.
Of course, we do not deny the advantages of electric vehicles in terms of environmental protection and sense of technology. However, for the majority of car owners, the transition from gasoline cars to electric cars is not a simple "one-click switch", but involves many practical considerations. Until the charging infrastructure is further improved and the range and cost of electric vehicles are effectively solved, it will still take time for a large number of car owners to willingly embrace electric vehicles.
In this context, we call on relevant departments and car companies to continue to pay attention to consumer needs, continuously optimize the performance and charging facilities of electric vehicles, reduce the cost of car purchase and maintenance, and make electric vehicles truly an ideal choice in the hearts of consumers.
