What are the considerations when purchasing a new energy vehicle?

When buying a new energy vehicle, it is important to understand the charging pile distribution in your area and choose a model that suits your needs. Below are the relevant details: 1. Charging pile distribution in your area The importance of charging piles is similar to that of a mobile power bank for phones. A wide distribution of charging piles provides convenience for charging new energy vehicles. 2. Choosing the right model Currently, mainstream electric vehicles are mainly divided into micro electric vehicles and compact electric sedans. Micro electric vehicles have limited space and are suitable for commuting but not for family use. Compact electric sedans are mostly three-box cars, making them suitable for both family and business purposes.
When considering a new energy vehicle, battery performance should be a top priority. The advertised range is often overstated, especially when using heating in winter which significantly reduces actual mileage. Charging methods matter too - home slow charging is better for battery longevity, while public fast charging saves time but may cause long-term degradation. I recommend checking the battery health report during test drives, as many models now support real-time monitoring via apps. The driving experience is distinctly different - offering quick acceleration and quiet operation, though regenerative braking takes some getting used to. Maintenance-wise, you'll save on oil changes but tire wear tends to be more pronounced. Charging infrastructure is developing rapidly, making urban use convenient, but always plan long trips using map apps to locate charging stations and avoid being stranded.
