Secretary-General of the Federation of Passenger Vehicles: The soaring price of lithium will not seriously affect the development of New Energy Vehicles in China

According to the news of the Financial Associated Press, on February 13, Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the Association, said that the national new energy vehicle market is hot in 2021, and according to the data of the Association, the domestic retail sales of new energy vehicles reached 2.99 million units, an increase of 170% year-on-year. Due to the strong demand for terminal new energy, insufficient production capacity, and abundant undelivered car orders (including the large lock price to pass on the cost to the automobile manufacturer), the slight price increase will not seriously affect the overall market demand. In 2022, many car companies have set ambitious production and sales improvement targets, so they are confident that the sales of new energy passenger vehicles will reach about 5.5 million units in 2022, and continue to achieve high growth of about 70%.
