AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/12 Report--

Today, Xiaopeng announced a change in the free charging policy: for customers who have been ordered after August 1, the amount of free charging will be reduced from 3000 degrees per year to 1000 degrees per year. The new charging policy has not changed for old car owners, but for new car owners, the charging quota has been reduced by 2%.

According to the official announcement, G3, G3i and P7 owners who pay a deposit before July 31 will continue to enjoy a lifetime free charging policy of 3000 degrees per year, while those who pay a deposit after August 1 will be reduced to 1000 degrees per year. For P5 car owners, customers who have completed the sesame 0 yuan reservation or 99 yuan reservation will enjoy a lifetime free charging quota of 3000 degrees per year after vehicle delivery. in addition, before the official release of the P5 free charging service policy, all enjoy a lifetime free charging service of 3000 degrees per year.

If calculated at the market price of 1.61.8 yuan / kWh, a Xiaopeng owner charges 3000 kilowatt-hours of electricity free of charge at a designated network, which also means that the charging fee can be saved by 4800 to 5400 yuan a year. However, if it becomes a free charging right of 1000 degrees per year, the annual charging costs that users can save will be reduced from 4800-5400 yuan to 1500-2000 yuan.

Of course, the change in this right will have a certain impact on users who need to go to public charging piles, but for users who have installed household charging piles, the impact will not be too great. In this regard, some netizens said that it was really early to buy and enjoy, and the news startled me, the old car owner. Will it be reduced again in the future? Another netizen said: it doesn't matter. I can't use 3000 degrees a year. It's too much.

It is worth noting that compared with the traditional fuel vehicles, the new energy electric vehicles also have great advantages in the later cost. Moreover, with the improvement of the mileage of electric vehicles, it can generally meet the commuting needs of the vast majority of car owners in urban areas. Whether it is convenient to charge or not has gradually become a factor for consumers to consider whether to buy electric cars or not. Therefore, various new energy vehicle manufacturers are also actively promoting their own brand charging stations to bring more convenient charging experience for car owners.

However, with the increasing number of orders and the stock of vehicles, new energy car companies are also gradually reducing their previous free benefits. Starting from January 15, new owners of new Tesla cars will be able to drive 1000 miles (1609 kilometers) free of charge each year, and then pay to use the supercharging station, according to Tesla's official website. Before August 24, 2019, the electricity exchange service of NIO is not a free service and requires a fee of 180 yuan. Starting from January 22, 2021, the first car owner who buys the Lai model can enjoy free power change four times a month on the basis of keeping the household charging pile, and users who do not keep the household charging pile can enjoy the free power change six times a month.
