Buying a tram in two years will not be as exciting as it is now. National policies have tightened safety thresholds and increased costs. Buy early to enjoy early discounts. It is a wise choice to plan ahead with the top models.
Let me tell you something. Did you know? In two years, buying a tram may feel very different. I checked the official information last year and found that starting from 2026, the purchase tax exemption for heating will be tightened. Unlike smart cars where you can basically get them for free, there are so many discounts that it makes me question my life. It sounds natural to pay half of the car purchase tax in full, but in fact everyone knows that this is equivalent to adding a lot to the price of the car.

Let me tell you something. Did you know? In two years, buying a tram may feel very different. I checked the official information last year and found that starting from 2026, the purchase tax exemption for heating will be tightened. Unlike smart cars where you can basically get them for free, there are so many discounts that it makes me question my life. It sounds natural to pay half of the car purchase tax in full, but in fact everyone knows that this is equivalent to adding a lot to the price of the car.

Not to mention the current hard safety thresholds - the battery is not allowed to catch fire or explode, it must be able to run after a collision, and it must not explode. Although this standard is good and cars are safer, will the cost also skyrocket? Major manufacturers are thinking that safety cannot be spared, but behind this truth may be higher parts costs and more complex testing processes.
I'm still thinking about a question. From the perspective of car companies, who will pay for these requirements? In fact, you don’t need to think too deeply about the answer. It must still be us ordinary people. Moreover, perhaps car companies also understand that this upgrade feels like a waste of time. You said that safety has been improved, but the production line needs to be adjusted, the materials need to be changed, and the technology needs to be improved to a higher level.
For us ordinary people, how do we choose a car? I think it's more about layout in advance. Don't wait until the standards become stricter. If you want to find a qualified car, then all new cars will have to become high-end. It is better to find a model now that steps on the line earlier, so that you can not only enjoy the discounts, but also experience the safety car of the future in advance.
Having said that, I really saw a good example. Recently, I looked through my phone and photo album and saw Beijing Hyundai’s EO model. It has a lot of cool points. Judging from the platform, it uses high-end E-GMP - a technology only used in luxury cars. Think about it, spending hundreds of thousands to experience the basics of these luxury platforms is a great feeling. The battery life is 722 kilometers. Many tram veterans are passing this data on, and they can be too lazy to use the power bank after pressing it.

It also pays attention to safety in its configuration, such as 9 airbags, armored body, and a braking distance of 36 meters from 100 kilometers. It is equivalent to driving and playing in the city, with a sense of security. Basically, this car is close to future standards, but the price is still stuck at today's level. To say whether it is worth it or not, I think it depends on personal experience.
For other car companies, this is like a race. You can either wait until 2026, when the technology is mature and compliance is in place, but you may have to pay a higher price, or you can use similar configurations now, buy a car that is submitted in advance, take advantage of the discount as early as possible, and save a lot of purchase tax.
You know I actually like to mess with these details. Once when I was chatting with a mechanic, he said: Don’t even think about buying a cheap and safe car now, it’s very difficult. Those who can do this are not cheap. I just flipped through my notes and counted them carefully. Now the price of some joint venture models is basically around 150,000. And that EO Yi Ou heard that the official guide price is just over 150,000, and with some subsidies, the actual operating space is even greater.

I know, this is all within the scope of estimates. After all, there are many parameters, and they may not be 100% correct, but I feel that the logic is clear: when the new standards come out, the increased costs caused by the market's bulky improvements will not only be borne by the car companies, but we consumers will also have to foot the bill. Buying early means missing out on some possible future bullock cart upgrades, but this is actually like buying a house: buy early and enjoy it early, but buy later and it will be more expensive.
(I’ll press this section for now), but I’m wondering, will the real threshold for electric vehicles in the future become as insensitive as swiping a credit card? Material costs and technical thresholds are constantly rising. There is always a limit, right? I haven’t thought about this issue in detail, but I feel that in a few years, we may have to rely on technological breakthroughs to reduce costs. For example, is it possible that the current safety threshold for batteries really needs to be stacked up layer by layer? Or rely on some black technology to reduce prices overnight and make standards more reasonable?
I'm also curious. Is the country's tightening of safety lines forcing car companies to work harder to develop new things? Consumers are actually like guinea pigs, they have to feel it’s worth it. After all, every new car takes a wrong path from research and development to mass production.

So, let me make an analogy: Just like when you buy a mobile phone, you must always choose the one with the highest cost performance. The same goes for buying a car now. Don’t just look at the price on the label, but also whether the bike underwear is thick enough. In other words, are we already ahead of the threshold of the future?
(Leave this paragraph blank. Do you think it will be as easy for us to buy a tram in the future as it is now?) I guess it may gradually become like changing a smart door lock, becoming more and more high-end, more complex to operate, and safer.
These latter policies have become a kind of threshold. Although protection is a good intention for car companies and us consumers, if the cost becomes too high, it may be embarrassing no matter what. Perhaps, next time you buy a car, will you be more willing to plan spare parts, battery life, and even consider overseas purchases in advance?
At the current pace, do you feel like you are walking on a tricky tightrope? Moreover, I would like to interrupt, when we usually ask about cars, why don’t we just look at the experience of using the car? But in the past few years, price, safety, and battery life have all become beautiful and overwhelming insurance and colorful flags.

(I won’t digress this time) Anyway, those who want to enjoy the novelty may want to act as soon as possible. Don’t wait until the standards continue to upgrade before regretting not getting there earlier. What do you think about this?
