What are the disadvantages of new energy vehicles?
1 Answers
Charging difficulties and slow charging. As new energy vehicles are not yet widely adopted, many cities or regions lack charging stations, making charging inconvenient. Additionally, the power system of new energy vehicles is not yet mature, resulting in slow charging times that typically take several hours, which is inconvenient. Short driving range. For an electric-powered new energy vehicle, the battery storage capacity is limited, thus restricting the continuous driving range. Generally, it is not possible to travel very long distances. After-sales service is still immature. As a "rising star" in the automotive industry, new energy vehicles are still being explored and improved in various aspects. Regarding after-sales maintenance, there are not many skilled technicians available for timely repairs, causing significant inconvenience to vehicle owners. Higher costs. To enable multiple charges and sustained use, electric vehicles require additional lithium battery costs. Currently, the cost of power lithium batteries is around 2,000 yuan/kWh. For a car with a 500-kilometer range, a battery of over 90 kWh is needed, costing 180,000 yuan. Even if costs can be significantly reduced in the future to match the cost of lead-acid batteries, it would still cost 80,000 to 90,000 yuan.
