As new energy vehicles account for more than 30% of sales in the domestic auto market, the industry is quite optimistic about electric vehicles replacing fuel vehicles. However, there are many problems with electric vehicles that cannot be ignored, which are gradually becoming a huge obstacle to the popularization of electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles are facing many problems today. The most common complaint among consumers is the charging problem. There are insufficient charging piles in cities, causing consumers to queue up when using charging piles. Especially in winter when power consumption surges, charging is difficult. Increased frequency and long charging times have resulted in serious charging queues.
Highways are another phenomenon. Normally, highway charging piles are not used, which makes charging pile operating companies reluctant to build large-scale construction; during holidays, traffic surges and long charging times cause highway charging piles to queue for hours. This makes electric car owners quite troubled.
Switzerland's restriction of electric vehicles raises another problem. The reason for Switzerland's restriction of electric vehicles is that the use of electric vehicles has caused a surge in electricity consumption in Switzerland. Switzerland has difficulty in supplying enough electricity, thus restricting electric vehicles to ensure residents' electricity consumption. In fact, the problem has also arisen in China.
This summer, due to power supply shortages in Sichuan and Chongqing, local charging piles of brands such as Tesla, Weilai, and Xiaopeng have experienced widespread outages. This shows that when electricity consumption in all aspects surges in the summer, the power consumption of electric vehicles Excessive quantities are also subject to restrictions, which has cast a psychological shadow on local electric vehicle owners.
These problems may be just troubles, but the problem of spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles involves the life and property safety of the car owners. Although videos of spontaneous combustion of cars have been seen on the Internet from time to time, the specific frequency of spontaneous combustion of cars and the occurrence of spontaneous combustion accidents are still unclear. There has always been no accurate data, and it was not until a recent report by the well-known media Phoenix Finance that people saw the reality clearly.
Phoenix Finance Network refers to the data for the first quarter of this year released by the Ministry of Emergency Management (source: "Financial Associated Press"), which shows that there are 640 new energy vehicle fire accidents, an average of about 7 per day. New energy vehicle fire accidents far exceed those of fuel vehicles. This is This is the first time that a relevant agency has announced specific numbers of fire accidents involving new energy vehicles, and the frequency of fires is much higher than previously estimated by the industry.
New energy vehicle fire accidents show that the safety of new energy vehicles is worrying. This type of fire accident is very different from fuel vehicle fire accidents. Fuel vehicle fire accidents often occur in cars that have been used for many years, while new energy vehicle fire accidents It may happen in new or old cars, when parking, charging, or driving. It is an accidental accident that is difficult to predict, which is quite worrying.
The fire accidents of new energy vehicles that have occurred in the past few years also show that some new energy vehicles are too aggressive in adopting new technologies, such as hidden handles, electric door locks, electronically controlled steering wheels, etc., and rely too much on electric control while ignoring the mechanical structure. , resulting in a car fire accident, making it difficult for rescuers to rescue the drivers and passengers in the car. These issues are worthy of reflection.
With the rapid popularity of new energy vehicles, consumers are now beginning to have doubts about the intelligent attributes of new energy vehicles. This has led to the rapid growth of new energy vehicle sales of traditional automobile companies. BMW's oil-to-electricity conversion was once ridiculed, but in BMW has become the third largest new energy vehicle company in the global market. Domestically, GAC's new energy vehicle sales are also growing rapidly and rank second in the country.
Consumers are favoring traditional automobile companies again because of the after-sales service system they have established over the years. This is because some new automobile companies have closed stores in just a few years and the after-sales service risks have caused consumers to worry. After all, cars are a kind of use. Products with a lifespan of more than 10 years,
