The epidemic situation is uncertain, the car chips are seriously insufficient, and the new force car enterprises have more or less delayed delivery. The international situation is turbulent, the prices of cobalt, nickel, steel and other raw materials are rising, and the stocks of new force automobile enterprises are falling in succession. Even without the foreshadowing, you almost know that chips and batteries are the most scarce in the whole new energy industry today.

However, when the above situation tends to ease, it will naturally return to its original appearance. If we really study what is lacking in today's new energy industry? The answer I give is the repairman.

New energy vehicle maintenance Is the maintenance expensive?

Perhaps in most people's understanding, the daily maintenance of new energy vehicles without engines and transmissions is nothing more than adding glass water, changing tires and handling brake pads. Many manufacturers have free lifelong maintenance for motors and batteries, and even if there is an accident, insurance companies will claim for compensation. So the later use and maintenance of new energy vehicles are really cheap.

However, the fact is that the development of new energy vehicles is too fast, and the shipment volume of the market itself is not too large, resulting in the cost of some manufacturers' production parts can not be effectively spread out, so the price is expensive.

The American automobile insurance research institute has analyzed the cost of Tesla's accessories. Take Model S for example, the engine hood is $1300, the front bumper assembly is $1650, the front fender is $999, the rear door is $930, and the sunroof is $4500. When converted into RMB, the price is about 10000 yuan, which is very expensive.

This has led many insurance companies to continuously increase the premium of new energy models in recent years. For example, the annual premium of a Tesla Model Y with a price of 347900 is as high as 15000. New energy vehicle charging pile

New energy vehicles are more difficult to repair than fuel vehicles

According to Zhang Minyu, the technical director of Beijing Green Wisdom Energy Technology Research Institute, there is a gap of 100000 after-sales personnel for new energy vehicles a year, including after-sales, maintenance and regular inspection personnel for energy storage. When more and more college students join the automobile industry and choose to promote automobile technology, in fact, the talent gap for automobile maintenance is even greater.

The maintenance of new energy vehicles is usually carried out by "three electricity system" (electronic control, power battery, motor). Maintenance of a new energy vehicle requires learning high and low voltage circuits, motor control system, DC/DC conversion system, charging control system drive motor control, etc., which are not required for fuel vehicles.

Usually, for a traditional fuel vehicle enterprise, the engine developed by it can circulate in the market for decades, and the operating principle will not change. To take an obvious example, the second generation Volkswagen EA888 is an engine that Chinese auto repair masters can repair. This engine has a large shipment, wide coverage, and only a few difficult and miscellaneous problems, so it is easy to use.

In contrast, the models of various new energy vehicle enterprises use different electronic control technologies, different charging methods, and even uninterrupted OTA. The maintenance technician should not only have strong hands-on ability, but also maintain the growing learning ability. Electric vehicle charging pile

A foreign data company once evaluated 19 million vehicles for a long time, and found that the time required for after-sales technicians to diagnose electric vehicles was twice that of gasoline vehicles, and the repair time was 1.5 times longer.
