Mobile WebSiteNowadays, new energy vehicles have already entered thousands of households. But for many of the first users to choose new energy vehicles, they have encountered problems: many new energy vehicles have attenuated their batteries, and the cost of replacing batteries far exceeds the expectations of many owners.
In the recent news, there was also a explosion. A new energy owner caused damage to the battery due to improper driving. The battery replacement cost given by the 4S shop even exceeded the purchase cost of the vehicle at that time, which made the owner very helpless.
Because the state subsidies for new energy vehicles directly subsidize the entire vehicle, not for the battery. So if the user wants to replace the battery, he must pay at the original price.
National policy battery warranty
At present, the state requires that the key components of new energy vehicles must provide a warranty of 5 years or 100,000 kilometers. During the warranty period, the maintenance of the owner is completely free.
In order to reduce consumer purchase concerns, there are also many new energy vehicle brands that will be out of the normal warranty period of the vehicle, and then provide additional warranty services for the battery.
For example, BYD Qin provides “a warranty of 6 years or 150,000 kilometers and a lifetime warranty for batteries”. BYD Tang DM's battery pack warranty period is 8 years / 150,000 kilometers, if the battery pack's attenuation is more than 20% within the warranty period, you can also enjoy the warranty.
SAIC Roewe offers a three-year and 100,000-kilometer warranty for the E50 and a core component warranty for the 5- and 100-kilometer batteries. The battery life of the Roewe eRX5 is 8 years/120,000 km, and the battery is guaranteed to be degraded by more than 20% for 5 years or 100,000 km, or 30% or more for 8 years/120,000 km.
Tesla also recently changed the warranty for the drive model and battery pack of the electric vehicle Model S to an 8-year unlimited mileage.
Although many manufacturers have set up corresponding battery protection services, after the end of the warranty period, the battery is declining. If it needs to be replaced, these costs need to be taken care of by the owner. In addition, if there is damage outside the warranty (such as soaking water), the owner also needs to bear.
How much does it cost to change batteries?
First of all, it must be said that the manufacturer's cost of replacing the battery will not be easily disclosed. On the one hand, different 4S stores, the cost of working hours and so on are different, so the cost of replacing the battery in different stores will be different; on the other hand, the cost of replacing the battery is high, and the manufacturers are afraid of spending The purchasing enthusiasm of the people has an impact.
The hacker also consulted in various car owners forums to find information and found the price of battery replacement for several popular models. Of course, these prices are not national uniform prices, plus regional factors, so more is just a reference for readers.
BYD Tang DM
BYD's current policy on battery packs is the battery life warranty for batteries. If the non-human damage can be provided free of charge, this free charge does not include working hours and materials.
In addition, if it is man-made damage, you need to replace the Tang DM battery pack, the replacement cost is about 60,000 yuan.
Roewe eRX5
Roewe's replacement battery charges outside the warranty period are not fixed standard pricing, and the price of battery replacement cannot be asked through the official after-sales hotline. At the same time, the official said that the replacement of the battery must be tested by the 4S shop, after the information is transmitted to the official after-sales company to confirm whether the battery can be replaced and the price can be changed.
Through the data collected by the hacker in the owner's forum, the Roewe ERX5 EV400 is equipped with a 48.3kWh power battery. The cost of replacing this battery is about 80,000 yuan.
Weilai ES8
As the most popular electric car brand last year, Wei Lai has its own unique battery replacement service. Although Weilai did not announce the price of replacing the battery, the price of the Weilai ES8 benchmark (including 70kWh battery) is 100,000 yuan from the price of the battery rental model. This simple calculation of a Weilai ES8 battery price should also be close to 100,000 yuan.
Tesla
As a vehicle with a price of nearly one million electric vehicles, Tesla has a very high battery replacement cost. According to the owner's forum and the car owner's personal consultation, Tesla's cost of replacing the battery is about 210,000. If the tariff and working hours are added, the price will be around 350,000 yuan.
Other brands
In addition to the above brands, hackers also consulted other electric vehicle brands, including Tengshi, Beiqi, etc., but most of the official after-sales service answered the question of battery replacement price with avoidance.
However, the facts are still in front of us. The price of replacing batteries in new energy vehicles is high, and some prices are even more than half the price of the original vehicle.
Conclusion
Overall, the cost of replacing batteries for new energy vehicles is quite high, but consumers who plan to buy new energy vehicles are no more worried. The battery warranty of many big-name manufacturers is relatively mature and reasonable, so at least during the warranty period, everyone can use it with peace of mind, and I believe that many people may change the car during the warranty period.
In addition, although the battery price is relatively expensive now, in the context of the current comprehensive development of new energy vehicles, if the technology of the battery in the future is broken, the cost and price of the battery may be greatly reduced.
Therefore, for some consumers who want to meet daily commuting, electric vehicles are still a good choice, but still have to choose some reliable big brand models to reduce the worries of using the car.
