Traditional luxury brands involved in new energy, Audi is relatively early. A few years ago, Audi took the form of imports to sell the Pure Electric Medium and Large SUV Audi e-tron in the Chinese market. Later, FAW-Volkswagen Audi made this car domestic, although it is still a car with a starting price of up to 546,800 yuan after domestic production, but many sales will still save money on new energy vehicles as a major selling point when introducing this car to customers. At that time, the Audi e-tron did save a lot of money in the car maintenance than the same level of fuel model Audi Q7, which was still popular for those rich people who bought the Audi e-tron. However, with the introduction of exclusive insurance for new energy vehicles, many new energy vehicles have risen a lot of money in insurance, which has also made many new energy vehicles lose the core product advantage of car maintenance and saving money. Today we will take a look at how much the Audi e-tron is affected by the exclusive insurance of new energy vehicles in the car maintenance.
Among the Audi e-tron models on sale, the most concerned today is the entry model 2021 50 quattro luxury, today we take this car as a reference to see what the Audi e-tron is now in terms of insurance costs, maintenance costs and electricity costs.
Insurance Costs:
According to the provisions of the new energy vehicle exclusive insurance, when the insurance company underwrites the new energy vehicle, the car damage insurance needs to additionally cover the contents of spontaneous combustion and the quality of the three electric vehicles, which is why the price of many new energy vehicles in the insurance has risen. According to the results of our sales inquiry to Audi, the insurance price of Audi e-tron is almost 14258 yuan in the case of purchasing 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, of which the car damage insurance is almost 1500 yuan higher than the original.
So if we take three years as a big cycle, assuming that there is no accident in three years, it is called insurance, after calculating the insurance company's declining discount year by year, the total insurance cost required by Audi e-tron for three years is 35645 yuan, the average annual insurance cost is 11881 yuan, and the average annual insurance cost is 1250 yuan more, and the price increase is only half of Mercedes-Benz.
Maintenance cost:
Like other Audi trams, the maintenance cycle of the Audi e-tron is almost 20,000 kilometers, and the basic maintenance only needs to carry out a series of inspections of the vehicle, including three electricity, and the cost is about 300 yuan. In addition, when the vehicle travels to a certain number of kilometers, it also needs to replace some consumables, including replacing the brake oil every 20,000 kilometers, which costs about 700 yuan, and replacing the air conditioning filter when it is 40,000 kilometers, which costs about 550 yuan.
Therefore, if you drive 60,000 kilometers in three years, the total cost of maintenance is about 3550 yuan, and the maintenance cost of a year is almost 1200 yuan, which is still a lot cheaper than the oil car.
Electricity:
According to the results of our tests, the power consumption of audi e-tron is almost 24kWh/100km, we assume that the annual driving range is 20,000 kilometers, of which 10,000 kilometers are charged at home with household electricity, the price is almost 0.56 yuan / kWh, and the remaining 10,000 kilometers are charged in the public charging pile, the price is almost 1.7 yuan / kWh.
In hypothetical cases, the electricity cost of the Audi e-tron in a year is about 5424 yuan, and the average electricity cost in a month is about 452 yuan.
summary:
By adding up the insurance cost, maintenance cost and electricity cost, we conclude that without considering other soft expenses, the cost of the Audi e-tron in a year is almost 18505 yuan, and it takes almost 1542 yuan to maintain the car for a month, which is really quite economical for an Audi medium and large SUV, which is almost half of the Audi Q7. However, as far as the price of insurance is concerned, a month is almost more expensive than the original more than a hundred yuan.
