Bad news is coming! What's even more embarrassing than canceling subsidies is that many people are starting to give up electric vehicles?

Since 2010, in order to promote the carbon neutrality plan, reduce the carbon emissions of fuel vehicles, and improve the enthusiasm of consumers to purchase new energy vehicles, the state has implemented purchase subsidies ranging from 4800 to 12600 yuan for new energy vehicles. At first, the effect was not obvious

Since 2010, in order to promote the carbon neutrality plan, reduce the carbon emissions of fuel vehicles, and improve the enthusiasm of consumers to purchase new energy vehicles, the state has implemented purchase subsidies ranging from 4800 to 12600 yuan for new energy vehicles. At first, the effect was not obvious. After all, for electric vehicles at that time, not only the range was limited, but also the related supporting facilities were not perfect, so many consumers were not very enthusiastic about new energy vehicles.

However, at the end of 2021, fuel prices began to soar, creating favorable conditions for the growth of sales of new energy vehicles. By mid-2022, the price of commonly used 92 gasoline had even doubled compared to before. In order to solve the high travel costs, many people had to focus on pure electric vehicles. In addition, after years of development, the range of many electric vehicles has exceeded 600km, even 700km, And the supporting facilities have also become increasingly complete, so in the past two years, the number of electric vehicles on the streets has doubled.

After entering 2023, there have been new trends in the new energy vehicle industry. As of December 31, 2022, the purchase subsidies for new energy vehicles have been cancelled, which means that consumers will spend more on purchasing new energy vehicles. This will undoubtedly be a major blow for both manufacturers and consumers. But bad news is coming again! Even more embarrassing than canceling subsidies is that many people have started to give up electric vehicles.

Of course, the abolition of subsidies is only one of the reasons why they have abandoned electric vehicles. Because, in my opinion, there are several other factors: firstly, the rebound in fuel prices. Currently, the price of 92 gasoline in most regions of China has dropped to within 7.5 yuan; Secondly, if the battery of an electric vehicle enters ash or water, a short circuit may cause spontaneous combustion, and there is also a risk of ignition after a collision; Thirdly, there is still anxiety about the range of pure electric vehicles for long-distance travel. In the past two years, during peak travel periods such as May Day, National Day, or Spring Festival, due to prolonged traffic congestion or long queues for charging, some electric vehicles have been unable to receive supplies and even left on the highway. All of these factors are the reasons why many people have started to give up electric vehicles.

In fact, there is also the most important factor, which is the price of the vehicle itself. As is well known, electric vehicles are more expensive in manufacturing costs, so compared to gasoline vehicles of the same class, they are often priced around 30000 to 80000 more expensive. For example, if you want a compact pure electric SUV, the starting price is usually around 200000 yuan. For example, the self owned brand BYD Song PlusEV has a threshold of 186800 yuan, the Extreme Krypton X has a threshold of 189800 yuan, and the Volkswagen ID.4X has a threshold of 195900 yuan. In contrast, the price of gasoline powered vehicles has a more attractive performance.

For example, on May 25th, the newly launched Mazda CX-50 series had a guide price of 159800 to 206800 yuan, which not only had an advantage of 30000 to 40000 yuan compared to pure electric models in the same class, but also had a gap of nearly 30000 yuan compared to Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 models in the same class. Not to mention anything else, just the 30000 to 40000 yuan saved on buying a car is enough for the Mazda CX-50 to add 5 years of gasoline. So, what are the overall advantages of this model?

Firstly, in terms of appearance, the Mazda CX-50 series also adopts a traditional and innovative design. Although the front face is still a shield shaped intake grille, the materials and decorations used are different. Not only is it equipped with a wide tungsten gold half surround, but it also uses a long-lasting and non discoloring PC material honeycomb grille, combined with recessed LED eagle eye headlights, giving it a deep and fierce expression.

Secondly, for Mazda brand, in order to pursue the ultimate control, it usually adopts the design of a long head. Although it looks dynamic and harmonious, it will also compress some space in the back row, so users often complain about the poor practicability of the back row. The Mazda CX-50 fundamentally solves this problem. As an A+class SUV, it has a body length of 4785mm, a width of 1920mm, and a wheelbase of 2815mm. The shortage of rear space in previous models has been completely changed, and the rear seats have been greatly enlarged, resulting in improved comfort.

Fourthly, Mazda is a highly personalized brand that not only insists on not using turbocharged engines, but also pursues ultimate handling. So, you will find that the Mazda CX-50 also adopts a long front end design in order to position the engine closer to the cockpit, achieve maximum balance in front and rear gravity, and enhance stability when turning. In addition, it also has the support of the "i-DM human horse integrated driving evaluation system" and GVCPlus (speed vector system), which can make its handling more precise while reducing the push and roll of the vehicle when turning, further increasing the turning limit of the vehicle, thereby improving the handling quality and allowing the "Japanese BMW" to evolve again.

Overall, canceling the purchase subsidy for new energy vehicle models is undoubtedly bad news for both manufacturers and consumers, and is also one of the main reasons why many people are starting to give up electric vehicles. Of course, I have seen the recent emergence of battery technology that can charge for 10 minutes and have a range of 1000km. However, looking ahead, it will take some time to apply it to car models and install corresponding fast charging accessories in various regions. Even after its launch, it will only be a niche market for wealthy people. When the technology matures, costs are significantly reduced, and the market is fully popularized, it will be a quite long process.

So looking at the current situation, for most consumers, fuel powered cars are still a more reliable option, such as the Mazda CX-50 line. While adhering to its own principles, it has made significant changes for the market and users. In addition, the sincerity demonstrated in terms of pricing will undoubtedly impress more consumers. As for how it will perform in the future, let's wait and see.
