Technology overlord starts with new energy vehicles

The rise in electricity prices, especially the doubling of battery pack replacement prices, and the increase in vehicle costs will be immediately reflected in the sales of new energy electric vehicles.

Within a few days after the news came out, the number of customers looking at cars at Jiuzhou Auto and Huaxia Auto stores across the country suddenly dropped significantly compared to the previous six months.

Consumers are caught in the stage of hesitation and wait-and-see, unsure whether electricity prices will continue to rise in the future, whether the prices of new energy electric vehicles will change due to changes in electricity prices, and whether the prices of fuel vehicles will drop again. etc.

Qian Kaiying is also one of these consumers who are now hesitant.

In order to buy a vehicle that is more suitable for him, he has done a lot of homework in the past two years.

Two years ago, he liked Toyota Corolla very much, but with the development of Jiuzhou Technology's new energy electric vehicles in the past two years.

He also took a fancy to Huaxia Automobile's energy saving and strong power. Huaxia Automobile equipped with Jinwu Motor still has a particularly great advantage among models of the same price. The motor power system has a long-term warranty, and there is no need to worry about battery degradation when replacing the battery pack. Save money and worry.

It's a pity that he had always wanted to buy a car before, but because the sales of Jiuzhou Technology's vehicles were very hot, he couldn't pick up the car in a short period of time, which made him calm down a little bit as he originally wanted to buy it directly.

Then it was just a matter of waiting and watching. As time went by, the reputation of Kyushu Automobile became better and better, and more consumers chose new energy electric vehicles. However, it became increasingly difficult to buy a Jiuzhou Automobile. From the beginning It took me a month to pick up the car, but now I have to wait half a year to pick up the car.

As an ordinary person, if you want to buy a car, it is so confusing if you don't particularly need to use the car.

Nowadays, as the price of electricity rises, he has once again strengthened his idea of ​​buying a new energy electric car and hesitated.

Qian Kaiying, who always pays attention to car-related news, read the latest news on electricity prices across the country on the Internet and sighed.

"I originally thought that the cost of using trams is lower. You can drive as much as you want, and it doesn't cost much for a year. The more you drive, the more you save."

"But with the current electricity prices and vehicle cost, compared with fuel vehicles, although they are still more fuel-efficient, fuel vehicles are cheaper!"

“I don’t have the conditions for home charging at home, so I can only replace the battery pack.”

"Furthermore, those joint venture car companies that have fuel vehicles, large companies that have been around for decades, have produced many classic models, and their product quality is guaranteed."

For those joint venture models that have been manufactured for decades, there are still some people who hold some filters for joint venture cars in their hearts.

Even in the future, some minor problems of domestically produced cars will be magnified by some consumers. Abnormal noises in the interiors when the seasons change is a sign that domestically produced cars are not good!

But if it is a joint venture car, that is normal!

"Nowadays, a Fit only costs more than 50,000 yuan. Compared with Jiuzhou Motors' mid-to-low-end brand Huaxia Motors, the price is much cheaper by tens of thousands of yuan."

"The Fit costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, the Santana costs 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, and the Corolla costs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. The prices of these models were unimaginable three years ago."

"But with the arrival of a strong competitor like Kyushu Automobile, those joint venture car companies can only cut prices one after another to maintain sales."

"If the difference of tens of thousands of yuan is all spent on refueling, the Fit will be able to run a long distance!"

"Forget it, let's take a look at those joint venture brand cars. Thanks to Jiuzhou Technology, we can all drive cheaper joint venture cars. If we have money in the future, we will definitely support domestic models! Jiuzhou Automobile is still very good."

With a new decision in mind, Qian Kaiying went to the Honda 4S store in the city after work that day to look at the car.

As the customer entered the store to look at the car, the Honda salesperson, who had been idle for a long time, greeted him enthusiastically.

"What kind of car do you want to see sir, and the approximate price of the car? I can recommend it to you!"

That enthusiastic look is very different from the attitude of joint venture car sales a few years ago where the price was the same as the price. The price was the same across the country and the car was fine without a price increase. The attitude was completely different.

Of course, there is still a certain gap between the sales of major brands under Jiuzhou Technology. Jiuzhou's sales are truly enthusiastic and enthusiastic.

Starting from the original Laotou Le, high commissions have made sales directly related to everyone's salary. As long as you have a better attitude and get more orders, you can make more money!

The wages of Jiuzhou car salesmen are generally much higher than the local wage standards. For those who are slightly better, the wages can easily exceed 10,000!

Faced with the enthusiastic reception from Honda sales, Qian Kaiying asked directly: "What models do you have for less than 100,000 yuan?"

For models that cost more than 100,000 yuan, the new energy electric vehicles are better.

Now that electricity bills have doubled, Qian Kaiying decided to cut back some of his budget. The lower the car price, the better.

If you need to replace your car in a few years, you won’t lose much.

"Style, Fit, and Civic!"

"Let me take a look at Fit first." Qian Kaiying said straightforwardly.

Based on his needs for vehicles, most of them are used for walking and occasionally traveling far away. There is not much demand for space, so the small car Fit is more suitable for him.

And he also did a lot of homework in the past two years. The Honda Fit model is called the Space Magician. It squeezes out a larger space in a small car than other models.

Moreover, the magic seat is also a very good configuration, which is very practical for pulling people and things.

Moreover, the lowest price has already reached more than 50,000 yuan, and many gifts are included. If there are no problems, you can buy a car model that suits you for only tens of thousands of yuan.

Sales: "As for the Fit model, we now have it here, and this model has quite a few advantages, including space, magic seats..."

As Qian Kaiying walked toward the showroom, the salesperson enthusiastically introduced Qian Kaiying to the advantages of the Fit model, but it was basically information that Qian Kaiying already knew.

Soon, the two came to a small car in the exhibition hall.

Qian Kaiying got up and took the car for a test ride, checking out the various layouts inside the car. He was ready to buy this model directly if there were no problems.

Seeing that Qian Kaiying was quite satisfied with the vehicle, the salesperson added: "By the way, sir, regarding the price of this model, due to the recent adjustment in electricity prices, the production cost of the vehicle has increased, and the manufacturer has made appropriate adjustments." Price adjustments.”

Qian Kaiying frowned slightly: "How much does the 1.3 automatic comfort version cost now?"

Sales: "Seventy-five thousand eight hundred yuan!"

This price has increased by a full 9,000 yuan per unit compared to before!

If there were no previous price comparisons, Qian Kaiying would think it was nothing. After all, the previous model had a guide price of 89,880 yuan, and the current price is more than 10,000 yuan cheaper.

But after comparing it with the previous lowest price, this price always made him feel like he was at a loss. Just a few days ago, this car.

Qian Kaiying asked: "Can the price be lower? Before, you could buy it for more than 60,000 yuan."

The salesperson looked helpless: "It was before, but now it is this price. This price increase by the manufacturer has nothing to do with our dealers, and there is nothing we can do about it."

"When electricity prices rise, the industrial electricity consumption in the factory will naturally follow suit. When electricity prices rise, the price of components will also increase, so the final price has reached the current 75,800 yuan."

After Qian Kaiying listened, he did some calculations: "If it's 75,800 yuan, plus a 10% purchase tax, insurance, vehicle and vessel tax, license plates, etc., the final price has reached nearly 90,000 yuan." Money!

"If you add a little more, you can buy a Huaxia Automobile model. Not only does it have stronger power performance, but even with today's electricity prices, it still saves some money compared to fuel vehicles."

After thinking about it for a while, Qian Kaiying made a final effort: "The price really can't be less. If it's this price, I might as well buy Huaxia Automobile and save the purchase tax."

The salesperson shook his head: "The price is actually very good. The quality of our cars is very good, and the power system is very stable. You can drive it for ten or twenty years without any problems."
