AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/29 Report--

The retail volume of new energy vehicles in China was 185000 in March 2021, up 239.6% from January to March, up 302.9% from January to March, according to data from the Federation of passengers. New energy vehicles have repeatedly set new highs, which means that consumers are more and more receptive to new energy vehicles.

However, compared with the hot sales of new energy vehicles, no one is interested in second-hand new energy vehicles. New energy used cars are placed in the most prominent position in the largest used car market in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, with conspicuous signs, but even so, no one is interested in new energy used cars, CCTV Finance reported. The car is covered with dust.

According to the boss of a used car dealer, he saw good sales of new energy vehicles two years ago, so he opened up the new energy used car business, but the first batch of new energy used cars gave him a headache. According to its introduction, he bought a Tesla himself, because the price of the new car has been falling, and the used car cannot be sold even though it has been in stock for two or three months, resulting in a loss of more than NT $100,000.

The same is true at a used car supermarket in Shanghai, where new energy vehicles are neatly placed on both sides of the driveway. They are quasi-new cars in good condition and sell at half the price of new cars. The manager of a used car supermarket said that because the customer demand is not very large, the residual value of new energy used cars is still relatively low, from 50% discount to 40% discount in the first year and about 20% lower than that of traditional cars in the second year.

According to statistics released by the Traffic Administration of the Ministry of Public Security, the number of new energy vehicles in China reached 5.51 million as of March 2021, more than half of which are less than two years old. Most of the people who enter the used car market are three-year-old new energy vehicles, although the price is much lower than the new car, but the consumer recognition is still not high. One consumer said, "the bigger the discount, the less tempting it is, which is a bit too low. Many special policies on new energy are only aimed at the first car owner."

It is understood that no one is interested in new energy used cars, mainly because compared with fuel vehicles, new energy used cars depreciate faster in the market. Take pure electric cars three years ago as an example, the mileage of three years ago was usually about 200km, but now the mainstream new energy vehicles basically have a range of more than 400km, and the iterative battery technology has made today's new cars much cheaper than they were three years ago. In addition, due to the lower price of 20 new energy vehicles, car owners are also reluctant to replace their cars, so there are fewer newly listed models into the second-hand car market in recent years, resulting in a situation that no one wants old cars and new cars cannot be bought.

In 2018, the sales of new energy vehicles in China exceeded 1 million for the first time. According to this ratio, the first replacement peak of new energy used vehicles will be ushered in by the end of this year, and 430000 new energy vehicles will pour into the used car market. Superimposed around the license plate policy is stricter, more and more consumers begin to pay attention to the new energy used car market.

Shen Jinjun, president of the China Automobile Association, said that with the continuous development of electric cars, there is a certain amount of savings, the quality has improved, and the market will gradually improve. Once these blocking points are through, I think the circulation of used cars will be very smooth. Through the transaction of new energy used cars, we can promote the sales of new energy new cars.
