Low-speed electric vehicles because of the characteristics of wind and rain, relatively slow speed, widely loved by the elderly, therefore, also known as the old scooter, and it has always been regarded as a "humble" means of transportation, the core reason is that its price is too cheap, the same four-wheeled electric vehicles, electric vehicles are 5 to 10 times more expensive than low-speed electric vehicles.
Common old scooter price, mainly divided into about 10,000, 15,000 or so, 20,000 or so, if more than 20,000 yuan, you can buy a Wuling Hongguang mini mini micro electric vehicle, there is no need to choose a low-speed electric vehicle, therefore, most of the old scooter manufacturers, will be in accordance with these 3 grades to price.
And about 10,000, most of them can choose, only about 50 kilometers of endurance, and the motor power is not strong enough, manned, climbing are more laborious, 20,000 yuan belongs to the old scooter in the more "luxurious" type, it will be fully configured, a key start, air conditioning, the machine screen will have everything, basically and the car is not much different, then, such a seemingly "luxurious" model, how much is the factory price? How much does a merchant make from selling one? Let's find out.
Although low-speed electric vehicles are low-cost, but like other means of transport, the manufacturing cost is mainly divided into 2 parts, the first part is the component of the vehicle, it is the most basic part of the vehicle, the second part is the additional configuration part of the vehicle, it is different from the car, we will take these two major parts, to see about 20,000 old scooters, rough statistics of the cost is how much.
An important part of the cost of the vehicle
Battery: No matter what kind of electric vehicle, the battery is a very important cost of manufacturing, the type of battery is mainly lead-acid battery, lithium battery, 10,000, 15,000 old scooters, basically lead-acid batteries, however, the current sale of about 20,000 low-speed electric vehicles, generally will carry lithium batteries, and lithium batteries are relatively high cost, even if it is not a super first-line brand lithium battery, its price is not low, a group of 60V100AH lithium iron phosphate batteries, the cost needs about 5,000 yuan.
Motor: there are two main types of DC motor and AC motor, of which dc motor has the advantage of low price and low maintenance cost, but the DC opportunity restricts instantaneous load capacity and speed capacity, 20,000 yuan of the old scooter, will carry a more expensive AC motor, asynchronous motor and permanent magnet motor is the main motor, the cost needs about 3000 yuan.
Other components: although the controller is very important, but its price is not high in the total cost, generally 300 yuan to 500 yuan; the frame of low-speed electric vehicles can be controlled at about 800 yuan; the body is the guarantee of vehicle safety, generally will use high-carbon steel body, integrated stamping molding, such a cost price of 1500 yuan to 2000 yuan; other tires, glass, rearview mirrors and other parts, the cost generally does not exceed 1000 yuan.
The cost of the additional configuration part of the vehicle
Interior part: seats, instruments are the main manufacturing costs, low-speed electric vehicles are generally 4-seat seats, 2 independent seats in front, and town seats in the back, adding up to a cost of about 500 yuan; and the instruments are now large-screen display instruments, some are 8 inches, some are 9 inches, and the cost of each instrument is at least about 500 yuan.
Function part: high-speed electric vehicle, generally have reversing image, cold and warm air conditioning and other configurations, reversing image at about 100 yuan, air conditioning at about 2000 yuan, other one-key lifting glass, main driver seat belt is not tied reminder, child safety lock and other configurations, equivalent to 500 yuan cost.
In summary, a high-end version of the low-speed electric vehicle, its cost price of 15200 yuan to 16000 yuan or so, then, the manufacturer's gross profit at least 1500 yuan to 2000 yuan, so calculated, in the hands of the dealer price in the hands of 16700 yuan to 18000 yuan or so, then, the dealer price of 20000 yuan, in fact, there is at least 2000 yuan of gross profit space, of course, the merchant will also have rent, labor and other costs, how much pure profit, it will vary from store to store, Compared with the previous calculation of 10,000 yuan of old scooters only 1500 yuan to 2000 yuan of gross profits, it can be determined that selling 20,000 yuan of cars will be more profit margins than selling 10,000 yuan of cars, but the difference is not much.
Conclusion: Although the price of the 20,000 yuan old scooter is twice as expensive as the 10,000 yuan model, in fact, from the perspective of the profit of the merchant, there is not much more, which means that the 20,000 yuan model, in fact, is mainly invested in the cost, especially the increase in the cost of core components such as batteries and motors, which is the reason why it is more expensive to sell.
In addition, small connoisseurs feel that compared with the 10,000 yuan four-wheeled electric vehicle, the price of the 20,000 yuan model will be more reasonable, the 10,000 yuan model will compress the manufacturing cost in all aspects, the endurance of a four-wheeler is only tens of kilometers, which is caused by low cost, and the price of 20,000 yuan can make the vehicle have a more normal configuration, the end time can also reach more than 100 kilometers, in some of the configuration, it can also do "although the sparrow is small and complete", and the production of low-speed electric vehicles and two-wheeled electric vehicles are the same. Most of them are purchased parts for assembly, therefore, higher manufacturing costs, manufacturers can have a large space to choose relatively better quality spare parts, but also to avoid frequent damage and failure when the vehicle is used later, for frequent maintenance of vehicles and troubles.
So, do you think that the old scooter of about 20,000 will be expensive? At what price point would you accept for a low-speed electric car? Welcome to comment and exchange, pay attention to electric vehicle experts, and share electric vehicle related information and views every day.
