What are the disadvantages of using pure electric vehicles as taxis?

With the development of automobile technology and the deterioration of environmental problems, cleaner and cleaner energy has become the goal pursued by major automobile companies. As the most widely used and mature energy, electric energy has become the most important link in the energy iteration process. Compared with traditional petroleum, electric energy has the advantages of energy saving and emission reduction, but its disadvantages are also very obvious. On the one hand, the carrier battery of electric energy is seriously polluted, on the other hand, the capacity is limited, so pure electric vehicles are still very suitable as family vehicles, but as operating vehicles.

See what friends who run Didi with pure electric cars say. There are many friends who make Didi around. Most owners of Didi choose vehicles to burn gas, or buy cars with extremely small displacement. The remaining few will choose to buy pure new energy electric vehicles, such as those of Geely and BYD. They told me that this kind of electric car is very good in driving experience, because it is driven by a motor, the engine noise is low and the engine power is not lost.

However, after a period of time, a very serious problem was found. Manufacturers claim that their pure electric vehicles have a cruising range of more than 400km. When most of the electrical appliances in the car are turned off, it is possible to reach such a cruising range during use. However, when air conditioning is turned on in hot summer or heating is turned on in cold winter, the cruising range is decreased, and the cruising range may be maintained above 300 km. The cruising range error in these two cases is as high as 65438+.

Although the pure electric vehicle does not have the engine of the traditional car, the subsequent maintenance is facing great challenges.

1. Taxis convert fuel into money. In other words, taxis pursue better cruising range with the same fuel consumption. Although the cost of electric vehicles is lower, the cruising range is very unstable. The cruising range given by the manufacturer is only theoretical, and it will be reduced due to various losses in actual use.

2. Since it is a battery, the storage capacity will decrease with the increase of time. The first owners who bought pure electric new energy vehicles have been using them for five or six years now, and many faults of electric vehicles have been reflected. Among them, the most common complaint is that the battery cruising range has dropped seriously and the replacement cost is too high. Might as well just sell the car. The battery replacement in the auxiliary factory needs 30,000 yuan to start. The original battery replacement needs 50,000 yuan to start, which is quite worthless for most new energy vehicles around100,000. For taxis with the purpose of operation, the battery life is not enough and the replacement cost is too high in the later period.

3. Charging problem. Insufficient battery life makes drivers afraid to drive long distances. The penetration rate of super charging piles is quite low. Taxi driver is actually a very hard job. Many drivers work in two shifts and people don't stop. Gas stations can be seen everywhere, so that drivers don't have to worry about the endurance of vehicles at all. But if it is an electric car, the driver can only go to work during the day and charge at night, and he can't drive long distances at ordinary times. They are also very familiar with the electric vehicle charging stations along the road.

4. The taxi industry pays attention to efficiency. If the vehicle is running short of fuel, local gas stations can fill it up in a few minutes at most, but electric vehicles can't. Even super charging piles can charge more than half of the electricity in half an hour at most.

5. Pure electric vehicles appear for a short time, and the supporting products in the aftermarket are few and expensive, which will consume more than fuel vehicles in the process of replacing parts.

Conclusion Pure electric vehicles are worth using for families, but not for operating vehicles such as taxis. The battery life is not guaranteed, the charging time is long and troublesome, and the cost of replacing the battery in the later stage is quite high. Therefore, it is quite difficult to promote pure electric vehicles in the taxi industry. In the present form, natural gas is the best choice for taxis.
