Why is the new energy used car market so deserted?

Since its launch in 2014, the new energy vehicle market has begun to enter the replacement period. However, compared with the current traditional gasoline used car market, the new energy used car market is quite deserted.
In statistical data of a used car website, of the more than 100,000 second -hand cars currently sold, there are only about 1,000 new energy vehicles, accounting for only 1%. And this also includes hybrid energy vehicles, if the amount of pure electric vehicles is less.
So why did this happen?
The residual value is too low: Tesla’s 3 -year residual value is only 30 %
The people in the second -hand car industry revealed that the most intuitive factor that affects new energy used cars is the lower value preservation rate.
If in the industry, the current discount rate of gasoline vehicles is usually 15%in the first year, 10%in the second year, and 7%to 8%in the third year, and the total of about three years is only about 30%. However, the preservation rate of new energy vehicles does not have a computing formula. And the process of collecting new energy used cars, if the car dealer does not know the car well, it will often press the price very low and transfer the risk.
The Tesla Model S, which has been licensed in 2015 as an example. The two -year -old age preservation rate is 69%. In 2018, the value preservation rate of Models for three years has only 33.6%. This means that there are still 320,000 yuan left for the new car of 950,000 yuan.
The is really difficult to accept.
It residual value determination of standard fuzzy: battery performance is difficult to assess
So how exactly do these residual values ​​formulate? Is there a clear standard?
is a pity, the answer is: No!
In fact, although the current price of used cars is mainly related to the vehicle years and kilometers, the power system of new energy vehicles is mainly battery and motor systems, not traditional engines, so the quality of battery performance is also good or bad. It has become a major factor in determining the price of second -hand cars.
It because the life of the battery will be attenuated with the number of usage and the number of usage times, it is difficult to detect the amount of specific attenuation. The performance of the battery will directly affect the value of the vehicle. The system is detected and there is no specific detection method. Therefore, the price will be lowered during the transaction to avoid overly high risks.
and this has also become one of the important factors for the general low value preservation rate.
This no subsidy is not discount compared to new cars
. When buying new energy used cars, there are often various subsidies and manufacturers. It is not low, so the price is high, and the subsidy is rare and naturally increases the threshold for electric vehicles.
“Replacement” is limited
Due to the low residual value, some manufacturers in the industry have also begun to launch replacement policies.
The current replacement policy is more clear about BAIC New Energy. The biggest beneficiary of the project is the E150EV owner before July 1, 2014. According to the different car conditions, the depreciation price is Beijing’s market price (84,800 yuan/96,900 yuan ) About 45%-55%, and the additional subsidy is 5,000 yuan. The replaceable new models are EU260 and EX200. Establish a new fund of 180 million.
but these replacements are not unconditional, but limits with brands, regions and time.
The second -hand market for new energy vehicles has not yet formed
The industry insiders said that the prosperity of the second -hand car market is closely related to the ownership of the car. At present, although the sales of new energy vehicles in my country are growing rapidly, after all It is too small, it is difficult to form a climate, and it cannot support a new category. Data show that last year, various types of new energy vehicles sold in my country were about 500,000 units, with cumulative sales of nearly 1 million units, which is too small compared to nearly 200 million gasoline vehicles in the country. At the same time, my country’s new energy vehicles have only developed in the past two or three years. Most cars are in the stage of only two or three years. It is far from the peak of second -hand transactions.
. As of now, China’s new energy vehicles have reached 1 million units. According to relevant plans, the cumulative production and sales of new energy vehicles in my country will reach 5 million units by 2020. According to the industry, when the amount of preservation is 5 million to 10 million units, the used car market will really enter the prosperous period. This means that my country’s second -hand new energy vehicle market will be launched in three or four years.
