When exploring the future of NEVs, battery life and cost are key factors. For electric vehicles, especially models like the eπ 008, the battery life is about 8 years, corresponding to an average driving range of 15 to 200,000 kilometers. When the battery needs to be replaced, although the cost can be as high as 50,000 to 100,000 yuan, the national policy provides a guarantee, requiring key components of NEVs to enjoy a warranty period of 5 years or 100,000 kilometers, during which they can be repaired free of charge.
Suppose an electric car that can provide 300 kilometers of battery life can be charged 300 to 500 times. Assuming an average of 50,000 kilometers per year, the total driving range of the battery can reach 150,000 kilometers. However, the rapid development of technology indicates that the cost of battery replacement may drop significantly in the future, and today’s high prices may be just a relic of history. For example, Wuling Hongguang’s battery replacement cost is only between 300 yuan and 500 yuan, which shows the possibility in the market.
It is worth noting that the service life of the battery is not fixed, usually within two to three years, improper use habits will accelerate the aging of the battery. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain the correct way of use, which will directly affect the actual life and cost-effectiveness of electric vehicles.
