Love at first sight and heartfelt pouring (Feifan Lift Diary).

What is your car budget approximately?

In 2022, due to the decline in national subsidies, I started considering buying a new energy vehicle. In March, I made up my mind on the NIO FE Plus, which was said to be around 250k-350k RMB. With the lower-spec, rear-wheel drive model, the price should be under 30k, fitting my budget.

How much did you spend on the car in total?

I spent 260k RMB plus a battery rental fee of 1560 RMB/month.

How long did you wait to get your car?

More than half a year

The wait was too long.

Is this your first car?

No

Is this the first time you’ve purchased a new energy vehicle?

Yes

Do you have a home charging station?

No

Why did you want to change your car?

My wife’s workplace is a bit far away, and since she is not familiar with driving, I decided to buy a more intelligent and higher-end car for her.

What other cars did you consider before buying this one?

Tesla, NIO, WM Motor, and Xpeng, among others.
