On January 17, the National Development and Reform Commission said that according to the recent changes in oil prices in the international market, according to the current refined oil price formation mechanism, from now on, the domestic standard gasoline and diesel prices per ton will be increased by 345 yuan and 330 yuan respectively.
The National Development and Reform Commission also stressed that the three major companies of PetroChina, Sinopec and CNOOC should organize the production and transportation of refined oil products, ensure stable supply in the market, strictly implement relevant price policies, and require relevant departments to increase supervision and severely crack down on acts that disrupt market order and set prices arbitrarily.
Speaking of rising oil prices, I believe that the owners of fuel vehicles will not be able to sit still, even if it is a few cents more expensive per liter, for consumers who often travel by car, the accumulation is really not a small amount, but it should be known that the change in international oil prices will definitely affect the pricing of domestic refined oil products, and the so-called increase in oil prices to promote the penetration rate of electric vehicles has a certain reason, but it is not the main cause.
The mainland's oil source is mainly imports, so international oil price changes also have a certain impact on the country. Although there are domestic oils, they always account for a small proportion, and they cannot be used as the main sales force of refined oil products. In recent years, the epidemic raging overseas, oil production has decreased, and blizzard weather in some areas has led to an increase in oil demand, which has brought a lot of pressure to refined oil inventories. When there is less inventory and the demand is unchanged, the price will naturally rise.

Driven by the rise in oil prices and policy subsidies, new energy vehicles have grown barbarically and encroached on the share of many traditional energy vehicles, but there are still a large number of cars on the market that need diesel and gasoline, and the demand for fuel is still very large. Don't forget, plug-in hybrids and range-extended models still need gasoline as an energy support.
Pure electric vehicles have been developed for so many years, and the endurance, handling, performance have been greatly improved, and the maintenance cost is lower than that of traditional energy vehicles. However, for the older generation, the charging pile covers less, the charging speed is not as good as refueling, and the endurance in winter is worse, which cannot make them put aside their worries.
Of course, electric vehicles to replace fuel vehicles is the trend of the times, many manufacturers are striving to terminate the production of all fuel vehicles by 2030, instead of the production of electric vehicles. Rising oil prices may also boost the penetration of electric vehicles.
Don't just look at the rise in oil prices, due to the soaring cost of lithium batteries, subsidies decline, etc., the price increase of electric vehicles may be more fierce than fuel. The cost of new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles is rising, so Xiao Lei suggested that those who did not buy a car should wait and see for a few more years, and wait until the various supplies return to normal.
