When the price of gasoline rose a few days ago, many Tesla owners have said, "still electric car incense", indeed, if there are conditions for installing charging piles at home, the electricity bill per kilometer is only a few cents, and there is no pressure in the face of more than 8 pieces of gasoline prices. However, in the face of the news of the sudden price increase, I am afraid that it will make many interested buyers retreat, after all, the increase of 10,000 yuan is still very much. This wave of electric vehicle price increases is not Tesla alone, before, the price of some models of SAIC Roewe, Geometric Automobile, and Euler Automobile has also risen, and there are two main reasons behind it.
According to the policy, in 2020-2022, the subsidy standard will decline by 10%, 20% and 30% on the basis of the previous year, that is to say, the subsidy in 2022 will be 30% lower than last year, and the subsidy obtained by the enterprise will be less, which will directly affect its profit income. It is worth mentioning that by 2032, subsidies will be completely eliminated, and the market may bring new changes.
The second is the price of core raw materials for electric vehicles to rise, according to the data show that in March, the price of lithium carbonate, an important raw material for battery packs, rose all the way, the highest quotation has exceeded 500,000 yuan / ton, in addition, the price of other materials including nickel, cobalt and other materials is also rising, coupled with the phenomenon of missing chips still exists, so the impact of this electric vehicle company is very large, especially the low-end electric vehicles that are not profitable, such as Euler Automobile directly announced the black cat and white cat discontinuation in February, which can be seen that it is indeed impossible to sustain.
GO Car Jun Comment: Musk once said, how to make electric vehicles more popular? The answer is to sell cheaper. But the current environment seems to run counter to his philosophy, hoping that the international raw material supply chain can return to normal levels as soon as possible.
