A few days ago, on the basis of the three-tier maintenance service network, the People's Car Association laid out independent after-sales service for new energy vehicles, built a city center store for new energy vehicles, provided cost-effective maintenance services for new energy vehicle owners, filled the market gap of new energy vehicle maintenance in fourth-and fifth-tier cities, and helped promote and popularize new energy vehicles.

According to the data of China Automobile Association, in 2021, the production and sales of new energy automobile industry both exceeded 3.5 million, reaching 3.545 million and 3.521 million respectively, both of which increased by 1.6 times year-on-year. China's new energy automobile industry has entered the stage of large-scale development. With the rapid scale of new energy vehicles, the wave of integration of supporting facilities in the whole industrial chain is also gradually strengthening. As an Internet automobile aftermarket service platform, the People's Automobile Association actively participates in new energy vehicles in industry consolidation through technological innovation and perfect service network.

It is understood that batteries of new energy vehicles account for about 40% of the total vehicle cost, and the cost of replacing the whole battery pack is between 60,000 and 100,000 yuan, which is an expensive expense for car owners in lower-income fourth-and fifth-tier cities once the batteries are damaged and need to be replaced. The People's Car Association strives to change the maintenance mode of 'only replacing but not repairing' in the aftermarket of new energy vehicles, repair damaged or degraded batteries, and greatly reduce the maintenance cost of new energy vehicles.

At present, the People's Car Association has deployed more than 2,500 cooperative stores and more than 100 selected stores nationwide, covering more than half of the prefecture-level cities in China, which can provide convenient and cost-effective car repair and maintenance services for car owners in fourth-and fifth-tier cities. On this basis, the People's Car Association deepened its service, and gradually set up self-operated stores and city center stores nationwide with the help of the advantages of supply chain resources and big data, so as to provide more cost-effective vehicle maintenance and care services for the owners of fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles.

Self-operated stores are the core of the three-tier service network of the people's car association. With the help of platform supply chain system and intelligent car maintenance big data system, self-operated stores can provide car owners with maintenance services such as intelligent car maintenance and efficient car repair and painting. City stores mainly focus on the repair and maintenance of core components of new energy vehicles, and undertake the repair business of self-operated stores, new energy vehicle manufacturers, new energy battery manufacturers and other channels. With the gradual improvement of the 3+1 maintenance service network, including car body painting, replacement and maintenance of wearing parts, repair of core components of new energy vehicles and management of vehicle life cycle, all can be realized in the People's Vehicle Association, which will enable more car owners to obtain intelligent, high-quality and affordable maintenance services and promote the rapid popularization of new energy vehicles in the sinking market.
