What is the difference between maintaining new energy vehicles and maintaining traditional vehicles?

First of all, the new energy electric vehicle is different from the traditional fuel vehicle in power system. It is driven by a motor and powered by a battery, so there is no engine in the traditional sense, so its faults generally only appear on the battery and motor. Unlike traditional fuel vehicles, problems may occur in many places. After all, the structure is fundamentally different.

Secondly, in terms of maintenance costs, due to the high penetration rate of traditional fuel vehicles, various accessories are relatively easy to assemble and the prices are relatively cheap. However, due to the low penetration rate of new energy electric vehicles, the accessories of new energy electric vehicles are not well matched, and the price will definitely be higher. Moreover, because the fault location of new energy electric vehicles is generally battery or motor, generally speaking, only battery or motor can be replaced. In this case, if the warranty period of the new energy electric vehicle is exceeded, then this part of the cost you bear will be very high.

Finally, in terms of maintenance convenience, due to the high penetration rate of traditional fuel vehicles, many problems can be repaired by looking for an auto repair shop casually, but new energy electric vehicles are different. Generally, you can only go to the manufacturer's 4S shop for special maintenance, so the convenience is far lower than that of traditional fuel vehicles.

However, with the continuous progress and development of new energy electric vehicle technology, we also expect that the fewer failures of new energy electric vehicle products in the future, the better.
