Recently, netizen Mr. Zhu reported to the Qianjiang Evening News hourly news reporter that he wanted to buy a Tesla and found that in 5 days, the price of Tesla rose twice. He compared the price a week ago, up 40,000 yuan, "it won't be because the price of oil has risen, and the price of new energy vehicles has also risen, right?" ”
Oil prices have risen, fuel vehicles can not be sold, consumers have gone to buy new energy vehicles? Is it the explosion of sales that has led to a rise in the price of new energy vehicles? Netizens are talking about it, what is the reason?
On March 3, the retail price of gasoline and diesel rose by about 0.20 yuan to 0.25 yuan per liter, returning to the "8 yuan era" and even entering the "9 yuan" era. Some netizens joked that filling a tank of oil can buy a bicycle, and filling up four tanks of oil can buy an electric car.
The reporter learned that in this context, the new energy vehicle market has indeed ushered in a wave of sales peaks. Many new energy vehicle brands are ushering in a "wave of price increases", and even some models can no longer be bought.
BYD is one day away from booking, and it costs 6,000 yuan more
Mr. Yang of Hangzhou agreed with a friend on March 15 to go to BYD early the next morning to book a car, but BYD issued an announcement in the early morning of the 16th to announce the price increase.
Mr. Yang wants to order a BYD's latest dolphin, and the official price increase is 6,000 yuan. It was a day off, and it cost 6,000 yuan more to buy a car, which caught him off guard and was very upset, "I can only consider other models." Mr. Yang said.
On January 21, 2022, BYD officially announced that it would increase the price of its products due to the decline in subsidies and the rise in raw material costs. Today, the price of BYD's full range of products has increased again.
This price increase has a sense of "surprise". After checking the information, the reporter found that BYD released the price increase news at 23:50 on March 15 through the Weibo account "BYD Auto", and the price increase start time was positioned on March 16.

Tesla's price rose three times in a week, and netizens bought while scolding
In march two consecutive price increases, the price of the Model Y rear-wheel drive version has remained at 301,840 yuan, which is the only model in tesla Model 3 and Model Y that has not increased in price, Tesla China official website today showed that the price of this car has been raised to 316,900 yuan, an increase of 15,060 yuan.
This is also the third price increase for Tesla in 7 days since March 10. So far, all models of Tesla's domestic Model 3 and Model Y series have increased in price, with a cumulative increase of 14248 yuan to 30000 yuan.
Tesla has really become a wealth management product, and users who have ordered and picked up cars have expressed their satisfaction and avoided the pressure of price increases. Ms. Qian, the owner of the car, told reporters: "The price increase is definitely a headache, fortunately, I mentioned the car booked a few days ago, some small lucky it!" The Model Y ordered last October has already made 40,000 yuan. ”

Lu Manager of Hangzhou Tesla Xixi Center told reporters: "Tesla's demand has been very large, recently these things can only be said to shorten the time for everyone to decide", the rise in oil prices is only one of the factors for customers to buy new energy vehicles, "about 10%-15% of the total, more people still value the new energy vehicle subsidies and unlimited convenience." Recently, the number of customers entering the store has increased significantly, and the most asked question is how much does it cost to fill this car with a full charge? What is the mileage? ”
Manager Lu also calculated an account with the reporter, "I live with my colleagues, commuting back and forth about 50 kilometers, colleagues drive a tram, a month electricity cost 150 yuan, I drive a fuel car, the fuel cost is 1000 yuan." ”
The high oil price directly pushes up the daily commuting cost of fuel vehicles, which is an obvious positive factor for new energy vehicles.
The price of raw materials has risen, and the price of new energy vehicles has generally risen
Since January 2022, new energy vehicles have experienced a round of price increases, in addition to Tesla, BYD, Volkswagen and other car companies have increased the price of new energy vehicles. The amplitude is generally in the thousands.
The industry generally believes that the price increase of new energy vehicles is greatly affected by cost factors. The price of lithium carbonate, the main raw material for new energy vehicle power batteries, has risen from 50,000 yuan per ton in early 2021 to 500,000 yuan per ton, an increase of more than 900%. And some car-grade chips have also risen from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan, and their value is more than a hundred times.
The price increase of new energy vehicles has become a "common phenomenon". A number of industry insiders analyzed to reporters that in the new energy vehicle industry chain, raw materials such as lithium, the main material of power batteries, and nickel, the main material of parts, are rising sharply. In addition, at the beginning of the year, many enterprises raised prices on the grounds of subsidy decline.
Some people are also considering holding coins for purchase, and consumer Mr. Zhang said, "If you are not in a hurry, you can wait." Maybe after half a year, the environment will be better. ”
Although new energy vehicles have an advantage in terms of use cost and intelligent experience, mileage anxiety, imperfect charging facilities and rising prices still "keep consumers out". Some consumers said that high oil prices are not sustainable, but the related supporting equipment of new energy vehicles and the rising price make them more willing to consider fuel vehicles. "Electric vehicles are less than 100,000, and the price has been rising, so I might as well buy a fuel car."
