Yle asked last week, the network read, what information they would benefit from car purchasing.

the size of our audience discussion of ten questions, which are the e-mail responded to a traffic specialist Hanna Kalenoja Automotive information centre and a leading researcher in the Juhani Laurikko Technology research centre VTT.

If you drive your car very little, is environmentally friendly to run old car in its life cycle compared to the end of the new purchase?

Laurikko: No. Car manufacturers of the required energy is about ten percent of the total life cycle energy, and the use is 90%. If you think that the car is driven in Finland for 20 years and just under 300 000 kilometers, the beginning of a new car, which is, for example, ten percent lower emissions than the old, to reduce emissions for the second year of use.

How mileage will affect what the use of power becomes more affordable?

Laurikko: Part ajokustannuksista is mileage dependent, such as fuel costs, but part of it is again fixed, such as the use of power taxes. Gas and diesel fuel prices are cheaper than petrol, but gas and diesel vehicles pay for the use of force in taxes. In this comparison. (you move to another service)

What are the electric vehicle electricity cost per 100 kilometers?

Laurikko: Hard to say, because electricity is such a wide range of prices, but about the ”sleeve as standard” can be said 3 euros/100 km.

What are right now the most important things that should be taken into account to buy cars, if you think about car buying at least ten years as an investment?

Kalenoja: Car selection should always go where the needs of the car will, for the different operating forces of the economy and features of the serve in different ways different in accordance with operational. Car consumption is an important factor, as the cost of access is of great importance driving the overall cost point of view. The car making the selection should weigh, inter alia, urban and extra-urban contribution, as well as how much of the car each year are driven. A lot of driving and long distances to travel for diesel and gas are economic alternatives, agglomeration a lot to run an electric or gasoline car can be the most economic.

Is there any danger that the old cars smashed its drastic penalty taxes?

Kalenoja: it Is unlikely that the transport tax be made any quick and dramatic changes, because Finland is a traffic use a lot of old cars. The car stock is quite aged and we have the transport use are still more than 800 000 over the 15-year-old car. Transport tax changes are more likely to be in small steps as the changes taking place and they apply primarily to new car purchase. Annual taxes and fuel taxes, the large sudden increases would lead to awkward situations, where older high-emitting cars to drive the movement of costs would increase disproportionately. The starting point for tax design is that taxes should be predictable so that households have time to prepare for the upcoming changes in advance car hank excited.

Car buying on the Overeating who participated in the debate, many raised their most important car selection criteria of the price. Also the resale value of survival we are interested.Antti Haanpää/Yle

What technology the car I would buy, so resale value would remain reasonably well and the total cost would be reasonable?

Laurikko: This is not a single ”right” answer, but will continue to market forces are pricing the used car value, and I can’t believe that in Finland, they would be limited to any use of force the use of cars. One way is to buy a car for private leasing in which case the resale value is already of conclusion of the contract, and the risk is transferred to the financier. (Editor’s insertion: private leases in the private rental car to your long-term use. Typical leasausaika is 2-4 years.)

What foreign car you should acquire, if you’re not willing to leave it to pick up?

Kalenoja: Used car worth buying a domestic car dealerships, because if along the way problems arise, a domestic company acquires a car, the buyer is domestic consumer protection in the circuit. Abroad purchased the car for possible problem situations have to be determined in the foreign vendor motion. Bought abroad in cars is quite often the odometer fakes, because the odometer data manipulation is not yet illegal in nearly all EU countries. The EU commission according to the research, for example in Germany overseas for sale car odometer manipulation risk is tripled in relation to the fact that the car sold on the German market.

whether a hybrid of two control systems fault-susceptibility?

Kalenoja: a Variety of hybrid systems has been on the market for the last decade until now. Hybrid systems improve the car’s energy efficiency, as they assist the internal combustion engine and extracting inter alia, the braking energy. Hybrid cars have a lot of good experiences in Finland also in wintry conditions, and their maintenance and repair needs are significant difference between the conventional petrol and diesel cars compared. Also hybrid cars, traction batteries has been observed to take a very long-term use.

What it’s used for electric cars battery ability?

Kalenoja: Battery life is affected by many factors such as the download between and the number of miles driven. Electric car batteries is found to sustainable very long-term use, and only rarely the batteries have to be replaced prematurely. Roughly the traction batteries life cycle is estimated at an average of more than ten years. The aging of the battery capacity there may be some ten percent lower than a new battery, but the battery usually works still well in vehicle use. Used car trade connection battery condition may, if necessary, visit a checked mark in maintenance.

How your house company can prevent it, you don’t have to pay a neighbor’s electric car charging spot installation costs or the downloaded electricity?

Laurikko: Condominium parking lot of electrification is a big area of work, but necessary in order to electric cars may become more common. A number of companies have to confirm the cabling, and this is available in grants (switch to another service). Also acts is room for improvement, but it is known, and for example, the housing companies act may need to be modified in that direction, that ”the opposite shore kiisket” can’t stop things, to move forward with. Hardly current either acts in the framework it is possible that a resident could legally download a car housing the company’s dime, but their own aktivisuutta worth and have to exercise at general meetings.

on Tuesday night’s A-studio discussion about why the car of choice seems to many difficult and what kind of cars in the future run. A studio TV1, Tuesday at 21:00.

the Case amplified at 18:32 adding the last question of the proportion, which asked how a house company residents can avoid paying neighbors electric car charging electricity.
