According to data released by the China Automobile Dealers Association on February 14, in January, the sales volume of my country's new energy passenger vehicle terminal market reached a record high, and the market share of new energy passenger vehicles increased.
The latest data shows that the new energy vehicle market has a good start in January, and the sales volume of the new energy passenger vehicle terminal market reached 347,000 units, an increase of 124% year-on-year in January last year.
The relevant person in charge of the China Automobile Dealers Association said that in January this year, the penetration rate of my country's new energy passenger vehicle terminal market sales reached 16.6%, an increase of 11 percentage points from 5.7% in January 2021.
1 new energy vehicle for every 8 new cars sold in 2021
Not only the new energy vehicle market sales hit a record high in January this year, but in 2021, my country's new energy vehicle sales exceeded 3.5 million, and for every 8 new cars sold, one was a new energy vehicle.
However, while the sales of new cars continue to rise, it is difficult to buy and sell used cars.
A reporter recently conducted a survey of the used car market in Beijing and found that, unlike new car sales, the new energy used car market is very deserted.
A new energy vehicle purchased for 100,000 yuan in 2016, after driving 50,000 kilometers, is difficult to sell at a price that exceeds 10% of the original car price in the second-hand car market, even without any accident. Shangdu has made it clear that it will not repurchase second-hand new energy vehicles.
Why do new energy models that are popular in the new car market become "hot potatoes" in the used car market?
Experts point out that the cost of batteries accounts for the bulk of the cost of a new energy vehicle.
A few years ago, batteries accounted for about half of the cost of a vehicle. With the cost reduction, it now accounts for about 30 to 40 percent.
It is such a high-cost component that does not have a corresponding value standard after attenuation.
Wang Du, Deputy Secretary-General of China Automobile Dealers Association:
There is no third party to conduct a comprehensive and systematic fair test. In this case, the price of this new energy power battery is not transparent enough, and consumers are afraid to buy second-hand new energy easily. vehicle.
Experts pointed out that the attenuation and health status of power batteries require professional equipment to detect and obtain key data, and through a large number of exclusive models and algorithms for calculation, the battery status can be evaluated and the value can be judged.
Therefore, compared with fuel vehicles, the value preservation rate of new energy used vehicles is much lower than that of traditional fuel vehicles.
Wang Du, Deputy Secretary-General of
China Automobile Dealers Association: According to the statistics of China Automobile Dealers Association, the three-year value preservation rate of traditional fuel vehicles should be around 65%, while the three-year value preservation rate of new energy vehicles is only around 43%. , far lower than the traditional fuel vehicles.
In addition, in addition to the poor value preservation rate, after the new energy vehicle becomes a second-hand car, it can no longer enjoy the first owner benefits provided by the official, mainly including free lifetime warranty, free lifetime road assistance, free lifetime car networking services and other rights.
This is also one of the reasons why many consumers are reluctant to buy new energy used cars.
The automotive industry begins to establish a battery capacity decay evaluation system
At present, the problem of poor circulation of second-hand new energy vehicles has attracted great attention from car companies, the industry and related departments. All parties are taking actions to solve this problem by improving technical levels and increasing services.
The reporter learned in the interview that the automobile industry has begun to establish an evaluation system for battery capacity decay, which will be directly linked to the value-preserving rate of used cars.
Wang Du, Deputy Secretary-General of China Automobile Dealers Association:
Encourage third parties to conduct real-time testing of the capacity of new energy power batteries. The establishment of such testing institutions in various places will enable consumers to understand the capacity of their own power batteries. , there will be some results in the first half of the year.
Not only that, in July last year, the China Automobile Dealers Association released the first domestic industry-wide "Technical Specification for Appraisal and Evaluation of Second-hand Pure Electric Passenger Vehicles", starting from the rules and solving the industry's pain points.
In September last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other five ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Administrative Measures for the Echelon Utilization of New Energy Vehicle Power Batteries" to solve problems such as efficient battery recycling and rapid health status assessment.
In November last year, the General Office of the State Council issued the "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)", which pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the research and development of power battery residual energy detection, residual value assessment, reorganization and utilization, and safety management.
At present, many new energy vehicle companies are also exploring new models to improve the value preservation rate of new energy vehicles.
Liu Shijin, Chairman of BAIC Marketing Company: For example, in the field of operating vehicles, our core focus is the battery swap mode, which can be used for 90 seconds to travel 350 kilometers. A single battery can achieve 600,000 yuan for eight years in this battery swap system. The recycling of kilometers can solve the pain points of the low residual value of second-hand cars and difficult to deal with.
Data shows that by the end of 2021, the scale of charging facilities nationwide will reach 2.617 million units, and there will be 1,298 battery swap stations, serving nearly 8 million new energy vehicles.
In the future, with the implementation of the policy, my country will form a more mature charging infrastructure system to meet the charging needs of more than 20 million electric vehicle owners.
