Will high oil prices prompt more people to buy electric cars?

In fact, even if the oil price does not rise as fast as expected, more and more people will buy electric cars, but it also takes a process. Because some technical problems of electric vehicles need time to solve, if charging can be as convenient as gasoline in the future and it can be fully charged quickly, electric vehicles will become more and more popular.

High oil prices may promote people to buy electric cars to some extent, but not everyone will buy them.

So why didn't high oil prices encourage more people to buy electric cars?

1, the popularity of electric vehicles requires high hardware facilities, and price orientation is only one aspect. When bottlenecks appear and work, people will change their consumption habits to deal with them. For example, charging facilities or housing environment cannot add more charging facilities. Moreover, electric vehicles have their own weaknesses and disadvantages, while fuel vehicles still have advantages in durability and convenience.

In fact, even if the oil price does not rise as fast as expected, more and more people will buy electric cars, but it also takes a process. Some technical problems of electric vehicles need time to solve. If charging is as convenient as gasoline in the future, electric vehicles will become more and more popular.

2. Electric cars also have some disadvantages. At present, the after-sales service of new energy vehicles is incomparable to that of ordinary fuel vehicles. Today, the charging infrastructure of new energy vehicles still needs to be improved, the core three-electricity system still needs to be broken, and the used car market and battery recycling system still need to be improved.

The rising oil price has triggered a debate on whether to switch to electric vehicles, but the subsidies for new energy vehicles will be gradually cancelled, the licenses will be restricted, the purchase tax concessions will be cancelled, and these concessions will gradually disappear. No air conditioning in summer and no heating in winter. Trams of the same type are also much more expensive than gasoline cars and have many disadvantages. Therefore, whether to buy a tram is mainly a tram problem, which has little to do with the price of crude oil.

Most people own fuel-efficient cars. Due to the recent price increase, it is impossible to replace a new car immediately.

The problem is not to buy a tram or a petrol car, but to solve the problem of rising domestic demand and rising prices. Inflation is facing a terrible problem, and we hope that more reports will attract people's attention to the discussion. After all, electric cars shorten the actual kilometers in cold weather, and I think it is too expensive for people to buy another car to save fuel.

Secondly, the use cost of electric vehicles is higher than expected. Batteries usually need to be replaced within a few years, which may cost tens of thousands of yuan, but it is not much cheaper than using gasoline. Poor charging, long charging time and short cruising range of electric vehicles are still the main factors restricting new energy vehicles. However, with the improvement of the performance of electric vehicles, more people can choose environmentally friendly means of transportation, and more and more people may switch to electric vehicles.

4. A similar situation proves that consumers are more and more interested in electric vehicles in the case of rising crude oil prices. When the price of crude oil in the United States rose a few years ago, both electric vehicle enthusiasts and car owners thought that the price increase would accelerate the popularization of electric vehicles. However, it has been proved that increasing the price of crude oil cannot rapidly increase the popularity of electric vehicles.

With the increase of international crude oil price, gasoline will enter the "9 yuan" era. Theoretically, the rise in crude oil prices will inevitably lead to the decline in the consumption of fuel vehicles and the popularization of new energy vehicles. But in reality, the sales of new energy vehicles are not as hot as expected.
