It is said that new energy vehicles are expensive to repair. Is it true? The editor will introduce it to you. The high cost of new energy vehicle repair is mainly due to the following reasons.
High cost of core components: core components such as batteries, motors and electronic control systems account for a large proportion of the total vehicle cost. For example, the cost of replacing batteries for Chery eq new energy vehicles is as high as 69,000 yuan, which is close to the purchase price. Once these components are damaged, the replacement cost is high. Intelligent configuration is expensive: high-tech configurations such as laser radar and integrated die-cast body improve vehicle performance, but also increase maintenance costs. For example, the relevant configurations of Tesla, Xiaopeng and other models often cost tens of thousands of yuan after damage. Impact of new manufacturing processes: Although integrated die-casting technology and body-battery integration technology have improved vehicle performance and safety, the difficulty and cost of repairs have increased significantly in the event of collision or damage, because the parts may need to be replaced as a whole after damage.
Car company monopoly: The repair market for new energy vehicles is mostly monopolized by car companies, and it is difficult for third-party repair agencies to enter. Car companies have a large pricing power over parts supply and repair services, resulting in high repair costs. Car owners can only go to car company after-sales stores or officially authorized service stores for repairs. Insufficient outlets: The number of new energy vehicles is relatively low, and the number of maintenance service outlets is limited. Car owners have to wait for a long time for maintenance. For example, Jiao Haoran, a car owner in Baoji, Shaanxi, had to wait in line for more than half a month to repair his car.
High technical threshold: New energy vehicles use complex electronic control systems and power transmission systems, which require high professional skills of maintenance personnel, while professional maintenance personnel are scarce in the market, resulting in an increase in maintenance service prices. According to statistics, there are less than 20,000 new energy vehicle maintenance companies in the country, and less than 100,000 skilled personnel engaged in new energy vehicle maintenance. Long maintenance time: The maintenance process of electric vehicles is complicated. For example, when repairing a collision, the high-voltage battery must be disconnected and removed first. The average maintenance time is 3.04 hours, which is longer than the 1.66 hours of fuel vehicles, increasing labor costs.
