Entering August 2024, I have spent 1,416 days switching from Audi A3 to Weilai ES6, with a mileage of 40,859 kilometers. In almost 4 years, I have driven nearly 40,000 kilometers, with an average of 10,000 kilometers per year. The car is indeed not very capable of driving. For ordinary citizens who commute to work, occasionally take their families and drive to the suburbs of Beijing for fun, and return to their hometown every three or five times, they belong to the ordinary majority. But coincidentally, the car The A3 has also been driven for almost 4 years and has a similar mileage. It is just a good time to compare the cost of using the car after converting from oil to electricity.
[Gas costs VS electricity costs, free battery replacement benefits significantly reduce daily energy expenses]
As an old owner of the ES6 generation car, the free battery replacement rights are not covered. In terms of daily energy expenses, replenishing energy can save a lot of money. No matter how you calculate the oil price, it doesn’t matter whether it is 92 or 95, it doesn’t matter what gas station fuel card you have. How to promote promotion? In the face of the absolute power of free battery swap rights, no matter how fancy the money-saving strategy for gasoline vehicles is, it pales in comparison. Compared with the same level of fuel vehicles, the official calculation cost has saved a total of 29,278 yuan, with an average saving of 29,278 yuan per year. 7319.5 yuan, let’s consider it 7300 yuan
[In the premium competition, NIO wins because of its transparent price]
The premium for a new Audi car in the first year is 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, and the insurance starting from the second year is about 4,000 yuan. But including various insurance rebates, car wash privileges and gas card privileges, the average premium is about 3,000 yuan, but You have to worry about handling these rebates and discounts by yourself. The discounts given by different 4S stores are also very different. The service prices are relatively opaque, and the first-year premium of NIO ES6 is included in the insurance. The price is basically not much different from that of a gas car. By the fourth year, the insurance company quoted me a price of just over 3,000 yuan. From this point of view, in terms of premium quotations, the difference between the two gradually narrowed as the car's service life increased, while Wei The pricing of our worry-free services is relatively transparent, and there is no need for various calculations or arguments with insurance companies to find the so-called "optimal solution."
[The cost of maintaining a car is huge, the electric car saves money and worries]
In petrol trucks, the maintenance cost of the Audi A3 is already low compared to other BBAs, and with various discount coupons, the price of a minor maintenance is also around 1,200 (of course, maintenance outside will be cheaper, but under the warranty It is still recommended to have it maintained at a 4S shop during the period). Since I didn’t drive much and didn’t go through 60,000 kilometers of major maintenance, I changed the car because it was scheduled for tram number. As I drive more economically, I can only do up to 1 maintenance per year. In this case, the maintenance cost of maintaining a Buddhist-style A3 car in 4 years will cost nearly 7,000 yuan.
As trams, NIO usually requires less maintenance because they have fewer mechanical parts and do not need to replace oil, filters, etc. The maintenance of electric vehicles usually includes battery and motor inspections, tire replacement, etc. The cost of these maintenance items is usually lower than that of fuel vehicles. In addition, the worry-free service package will cost an additional 1,580 RMB per year until 2024. , but other than that, I have hardly spent any extra money. In the case of official maintenance, the annual maintenance costs of Weilai's 1580 and Audi's annual maintenance costs of about 1200-1800 are almost insignificant to a car owner like me who doesn't use the car very much. There are differences. The main difference is the worry-free service. Weilai's one-click maintenance is very convenient. After the car is repaired, it can be sent back to the place where it was repaired. It will also provide a mobility scooter or points compensation in the process. These are all things you have to worry about on schedule. This is incomparable to traditional oil trucks sent to designated stores for maintenance, and the time saved is immeasurable in money.
The cost of living for modern people is getting higher and higher. Faced with multiple pressures such as maintaining a house, maintaining a car, education, and medical care, rational planning of finances and lifestyle has become an issue that many people need to consider. In this context, choosing NIO as a travel tool can indeed be a way to save costs and improve the quality of life. The money and time saved can be used by individuals, such as better diet, fitness, and leisure travel. Improve the quality of life. Although the initial purchase cost of electric vehicles may be higher, in the long term, low maintenance costs and energy costs can bring better economic benefits, as well as irreplaceable psychological satisfaction and pride.
Instead of worrying about fluctuating oil prices every day and planning your trip according to the changing oil truck number limit policy, it is better to choose trams in line with the development of the times. As a product of the development of the times, trams can not only save economic costs for individuals, but also bring about a more environmentally friendly journey. , a smarter lifestyle, it is better to wait for the wind to come than to go with the wind!
Let me talk about my car buying experience first~
My parents talked to us about buying a car in mid-June, and we started looking at cars one after another. Because we have been in Shanghai for a long time, we first reached a consensus to buy an electric car. Then, based on a budget of about 300,000 yuan, we test-drove the Wenjie m5, m7, Zhijie S7, Avita 12, and NIO et5t.
At first, I was fascinated by the Avita 12. I felt that the design of the car was bold and avant-garde, the interior was luxurious, and the overall driving experience was also very good, especially the intelligent driving. I went to see it three or four times, but I don’t know why, I always couldn’t make up my mind (maybe it’s really not my destiny ).
When I was hesitant, I heard the NIO salesperson tell us that we could try ES6 (the main feeling of the previous test drive of et5t was that the space was a little small), so I took the opportunity to take a look again on the weekend. The first sight of the es6 when I arrived at the store was attracted by the appearance of the es6. It really fits our aesthetic point. The sense of grandeur and luxury came to my face. In addition, I often saw the figure of es6 on the road, so I liked it more!
Hurry up and test drive! The power of the dual motors is really strong, stepping on the accelerator is effortless, the gear design is quite user-friendly, including the steering wheel, and the control is very strong. The interior is simple but not simple, giving people a sense of stability and taste.
The short 30-minute test drive gave us a strong desire to buy. When we went home to discuss with my parents, my parents also agreed that whether it is NIO's reputation, brand power, or the car itself, it is worth buying. In this way, we did not hesitate to decide on NIO ES6 when we had never considered it before and the car was a bit over budget.
Of course, we also had some small concerns when buying a car, mainly in terms of battery life. However, in the past month since we got the car, we found that in fact, in the city, when the air conditioning, music and massage are fully turned on, the power consumption is basically around 17, and when the smart driving is turned on on the highway, the power consumption is around 20 (by the way, the smart driving on the highway is really good), so for our family who has been in Shanghai for a long time and whose hometown is in Zhejiang, it is really enough.
Because we bought out the battery, we considered not replacing the battery within a year, so we have been charging it all the time, twice a month. I thought there were few places that support fast charging, but it was surprisingly easy to find. The charging rate is also very fast, from 20-30% to more than 90%, it only takes half an hour. It will be even faster when waiting for the battery replacement later.
Recommend NIO, join the NIO army!
Recently, my husband's colleagues at the company are preparing to buy cars one after another, so he is also strongly recommending them to buy NIO, and told everyone about his experience with the car. At that time, we can team up to participate in NIO's activities together
#Who buys ES8# If you want to say which car has the deepest bond with NIO, I believe that old car owners will definitely choose ES8 without hesitation. It is the first mass-produced car released by NIO, and it is also a pioneer in the market in the NT1.0 era. It is also a capable car that countless old car owners have not retired until today.
If you are currently looking for a car in the NIO system that is suitable for home use, business occasions, travel, and loading, and has both configuration, appearance and domineering, then there is no doubt that NIO's new ES8 is the only eligible choice. After the new ES8 was released, it is still the flagship fighter in the entire NIO system. Almost all of NIO's latest, best, and most mature technologies are added to it. It is a natural king, but that's it.
I, the owner of es8, drew a self-portrait!
1. Heavy-duty pure electric SUV enthusiasts
The ES8 is really huge, 5.1 meters long, 2 meters wide, and more than 3 meters in wheelbase. Without exception, ES8 owners are fond of large SUVs, love the wide field of vision when driving, as well as the extra-large space and freely configurable rear seats, which can be either a five-seat large trunk or a six-seat layout to meet different car needs. They are loyal fans of large cars.
2. Highly recognized NIO's energy replenishment system
More than 90% of ES8's regular owners are men, who like the square and masculine design of ES8. But what they value most is almost all NIO's rechargeable, replaceable and upgradeable energy replenishment system. Having a battery swap function and having a good battery swap function are two different concepts.
3. Have a young heart and be brave to embrace new things
Among ES8's owners, there are also some young and promising young talents. Our handsome tuna boy is an es8 owner who is less than 18 years old!
But most of them are middle-aged men, mostly dads. For upper-middle-class or even wealthy families, quality of life is often what car owners value very much. Even though the monthly insurance volume of new energy vehicles has exceeded 50%, there are still many middle-aged uncles who stubbornly believe that electric vehicles are not good, unsafe, and have poor endurance, etc., especially domestic new energy vehicles.
The outstanding feature of the new ES8 is that it really spends a lot of money to do big things, choosing a high-quality, reliable and impressive car. Extremely excellent product strength, unique hardware and software strength that others do not have and I have, Haidilao-style super-high-quality service, and a group of lovely car owners who love SUVs, NIO, and ES8. This is the common point of car owners who love to drive ES8. #ES8MilestoneClub#
NIO is always good at hiding surprises in details, and constantly brings surprises when you use it inadvertently. ES8 is such a model! Drive NIO es8 to enjoy an extraordinary life!
