Why are there so few people buying electric cars? Will electric cars become popular?

Now everyone is calling for new energy vehicles, including electric cars, gas cars, solar cars, and so on. Earlier, the country launched a buying craze for electric cars, and many people went to buy electric cars. Now the popularity of electric cars has declined, but you can still see some electric cars on the road. Why are there so few people buying electric cars? Will electric cars become popular across the country in the future?

Why are so few people buying electric cars?

The most important thing is its battery life and charging issues. Everyone has battery life anxiety. Smartphones have become an indispensable device in people's daily lives. For some people, they will feel anxious when the battery level is less than 50%. The same is true for electric cars.

The second is the problem of charging. For Guoqing at present, those who own a car may not have their own fixed charging piles, so where to charge is a problem; and the other is the charging speed. For a fuel car, refueling may only take ten to five minutes, but the current charging speed cannot be compared with that of a fuel car. Although Tesla has super charging piles, they are not as convenient as gas stations.

Furthermore, pure electric vehicles are currently experiencing frequent problems, not only for domestic brands, but also for traditional car companies. BBA has recalled its own pure electric vehicles due to various problems, not to mention domestic brands.

Finally, there is the issue of subsequent costs. Electric cars may be very cost-effective in the short term, but as the battery degrades a series of problems will arise. When it finally comes time to replace the battery, the high cost may be equal to the cost of a new electric car.

Electric vehicles are a product of policy, not a real need of the market. The core of this policy is to overtake others, the second is the need for energy and environmental protection, and the third is to increase investment and increase GDP. Overtaking others is what the policy hopes to achieve the most, but the current situation is that overtaking others is almost turning into overturning others.

Many car companies develop and produce electric vehicles not for technological innovation or to catch up with advanced technologies, but to defraud subsidies. Some new car companies also develop electric vehicles to make money. As a result, most car companies are struggling after the government stopped subsidies, and electric vehicle sales have plummeted. In October this year, electric vehicle sales fell by nearly 50%. What's more, the entry of Tesla electric vehicles has almost pushed Chinese electric vehicles off the cliff.

What will be the impact of the full popularization of pure electric vehicles?

Traditional car companies have a superior status, not only because of the importance of fuel vehicles, but also because of the jobs (ecosystem) brought by traditional car companies and supply chains. As we all know, the parts of pure electric vehicles are almost one-tenth of those of fuel vehicles. Once fuel vehicles are cancelled, it means that 90% of the parts of current vehicles will no longer need to be produced. In this way, traditional car companies and processing industry chains will face a huge impact, and jobs will be greatly reduced. In the past, one hundred workers were needed, but now only ten people may be enough (metaphorically). Therefore, the consequences of completely canceling fuel vehicles are terrible. Therefore, major OEMs around the world seem to support pure electric vehicles on the surface, but in fact they are not working hard, because they all understand that the popularity of pure electric vehicles will destroy the traditional processing and manufacturing industry chain. Therefore, friends can just learn about new energy vehicles casually, and don’t take it seriously!
