As a new energy vehicle priced at more than 1 million yuan, Mercedes-Benz EQS as an electric vehicle to save money, for most car buyers can only be regarded as a "subsidiary advantage". However, with the introduction of new energy vehicle captive insurance at the end of last year, the price of most new energy vehicles has risen by a certain extent when purchasing insurance. Today we will take a look at whether the "subsidiary advantage" of Mercedes-Benz EQS has "shrunk" with the introduction of new energy vehicle exclusive insurance. Yangtai Mercedes-Benz EQS, whether it can save money compared to the same level of fuel vehicles.
At present, among the models on sale of Mercedes-Benz EQS, the entry-level 2022 450+ Pioneer Edition has the highest attention. Today we take this car as a reference, let's take a look at the Mercedes-Benz EQS that has caught up with the insurance price increase on the listing, what is the situation in terms of insurance costs, maintenance costs and electricity costs?
Insurance Costs:
The reason for the increase in the exclusive insurance cost of new energy vehicles compared with the original purchase of insurance is mainly due to the car damage insurance, in the new insurance, the insurance company needs to additionally underwrite the exclusive insurance coverage of new energy vehicles such as three power quality and spontaneous combustion, so there is a certain increase in costs. According to the situation we learned from the sales of Mercedes-Benz 4S stores, Mercedes-Benz EQS is almost 850 yuan more expensive than the original in car damage insurance, because the new car was just listed at that time, the data sample is not much, and the insurance company did not give a more exaggerated increase.
So if a Mercedes-Benz EQS in the purchase of 3 million three liabilities, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance three types of insurance, the cost is almost 29037 yuan, if we assume that there is no accident in three years called insurance, after calculating the insurance company's declining discount year by year, the total insurance cost required for this car for three years is 72592 yuan, and the average annual insurance cost is 24197 yuan.
Maintenance cost:
Although the price difference is not small, but as a pure electric vehicle under Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz EQS and Mercedes-Benz EQC in the maintenance of this piece of the situation is basically no difference, Mercedes-Benz EQS maintenance cycle for 20,000 kilometers of maintenance once, the current Mercedes-Benz EQS also gives 6 years of 180,000 kilometers within the free basic maintenance service, that is to say, if three years of driving 60,000 kilometers, in the vehicle inspection and replacement of air conditioning filters these basic maintenance range is not necessary to spend their own money, The owner only needs to replace the brake oil at 40,000 kilometers, the cost is 409 yuan, which is the only place where he needs to pay for itself within three years of driving 60,000 kilometers, so the maintenance cost of a year of flat sharing only needs 136 yuan.
Electricity:
According to our tests, the power consumption of mercedes-benz EQS is almost 15kWh/100km. If we assume that the mileage of a year is 20,000 kilometers, of which 10,000 kilometers are charged in the public charging pile, the average price of the current public charging pile charging is almost 1.7 yuan / kWh, and the remaining 10,000 kilometers are charged at home with household electricity, and the price of this piece is almost 0.56 yuan / kWh.
Through calculations, we conclude that under our hypothetical conditions, the electricity required for a Mercedes-Benz EQS is 3390 yuan a year, and on average, it only needs to spend 282 yuan a month to maintain a car, which is still very economical for a million-dollar luxury car.
summary:
By adding up the insurance cost, maintenance cost and electricity cost, we conclude that a Mercedes-Benz EQS needs almost 27723 yuan a year to maintain a car without considering other soft expenses, and on average, it costs 2310 yuan a month to maintain a car. Although the cost of raising a car as a car with a price of more than one million is really not expensive, the main reason is that as an imported new energy luxury car, although its insurance has not increased much, it is still not cheap.
