First of all, the warranty policy is limited. Many new energy vehicles provide lifetime warranty service, and the restrictions on vehicle maintenance are stricter.
For example, BYD's three major power system lifetime warranty policies stipulate that,
Failure to go to an authorized service shop for maintenance within the maintenance period according to the user's manual, and failure to use genuine spare parts from the original factory for maintenance will lead to the invalidation of the lifetime warranty.
Worried that the maintenance of new energy vehicles will not be done outside.
In addition, some friends are not worried about quality assurance, but feel that new energy vehicles are different from traditional oil vehicles, and they are worried that they may not be repaired at all outside.
Jordan chan published a paper in Special Purpose Vehicle magazine, "Analysis on Maintenance Status and Development Measures of New Energy Vehicles in China".
Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have obviously improved in vehicle structure, control mode and some intelligent devices and applications.
This also requires maintenance technicians not only to have the relevant technologies of traditional automobile maintenance, but also to learn the relevant technologies of intelligent new energy vehicles.
To put it simply, you must have a low-voltage electrician certificate to check the three-electricity system, right? It has nothing to do with oil. I won't talk about the software and various projects of the central control panel.
What is the actual situation?
How can I put it? In fact, some of these concerns mentioned above are really necessary, and some may be overblown.
The restrictions of quality assurance policies vary from family to family.
The first is the quality assurance policy. The regulations of different brands are actually different. Just like BYD mentioned earlier, although it is said that if the original parts are not used for maintenance, the lifetime warranty will be lost.
But later, the official explained that the replacement of parts that have no technical causal relationship with the "three power systems" will not affect the customer's lifetime warranty rights.
No, these are not affected.
For example, Weilai's warranty policy stipulates that if it is repaired in an unauthorized repair shop, the car will be damaged.
Or do not use the original accessories, and the vehicle is not guaranteed for damage.
To tell the truth, after the outside maintenance, the car is not broken, no problem, but it does not affect the warranty.
At present, the opinions of various car companies are more or less different. If you are really not sure about your car warranty policy, call the manufacturer's customer service directly, not the 4S shop, but the manufacturer's customer service.
Simple maintenance can be done outdoors.
Except that the routine inspection items are different from the tanker, there is no difference between the retarder oil, brake oil and antifreeze, and the specifications and models used may be similar.
For example, wipers, tires, and air conditioning filter elements are actually quite cost-effective to change outside or by themselves. Also pay attention to the terms, the store may change, and there is no guarantee.
Of course, if the car breaks down and needs to be repaired, you really have to go to the 4S shop.
There will be more over-insured new energy vehicles and more repair shops.
Are we going to go to the 4S shop to fix the car all the time? Do you have to bail? That's not true.
At present, there are indeed few shops outside that can repair new energy vehicles, but it is not without them.
These new energy sources, such as running the network to get a car, run more diligently and have higher frequency of accidents. If there are more cars, 4S shops alone will definitely not be able to do it. It's all blocked
Therefore, many network car platforms will cooperate with some large repair shops outside to contract out the network car maintenance business of the whole platform.
Like Cao Cao's trip, T3 trip, EVCARD, etc. , is like this.
The network car can be repaired, and of course our own family car can be technically repaired.
And with more and more super-guaranteed new energy vehicles, there will be more and more shops that can be repaired outside.
According to a data released by Coppola, an automobile consulting company, the number of new energy vehicles will exceed 1 10,000 vehicles for the first time by the end of 2022 according to the five-year warranty period.
The garage outside can see more and more new energy vehicles on the road.
Doesn't he want to make money, survive and live? He will learn and improve himself, and this technology will be bought.
Generally speaking, there will be more and more materials for later maintenance.
