In addition, earlier on March 10, the Model 3 high-performance version and the Model Y long-lasting and high-performance version both increased by 10,000 yuan.
In just one week, Tesla has made three price increases, so far, Tesla's domestic model 3 and Model Y models have increased prices.
It is worth noting that immediately after Tesla carried out a round of price increases on March 15, BYD's official Weibo announced price increases that night, affected by the continuous sharp rise in raw material prices, BYD Automobile will adjust the official guidance price of new energy models related to Dynasty Network and Ocean Network, ranging from 3000-6000 yuan, and the price adjustment will take effect from 00:00 on March 16
In fact, this is the second official price increase announced by BYD in 2022, not long ago on January 21, BYD just announced the price increase of new energy vehicles, ranging from 1000-7000 yuan!
In addition to BYD and Tesla price increases, the electric vehicle industry in 2022 set off a round of price increases, this year, including BYD, Tesla, Xiaopeng, automobile and other nearly 20 car companies to raise the price of their products, involving 40 models, almost including most of the mainstream new energy vehicles in the market ~
The biggest reason for the continuous price adjustment of new energy vehicles is the impact of many factors such as soaring raw material prices, chip shortages, fluctuations in power costs and subsidies
Last year, the power raw materials required for new energy vehicles, such as lithium, cobalt prices were raised a lot, according to incomplete statistics, the main material of the power battery lithium, from the end of February this year, the average price has soared 480,000 yuan / ton, compared to the large use of lithium carbonate at the beginning of the 30,000 yuan per ton, up 450,000 yuan, in addition, many parts of new energy vehicles, from cobalt, nickel, manganese and other metal raw materials and their compounds, these materials are also in a sharp increase in price!
Now the Russian-Ukrainian crisis has made the price of nickel, aluminum and other metals soar, Russia is an important supplier of nickel, and nickel is one of the important raw materials for electric vehicle ternary lithium batteries, the price of nickel has risen, plus the price of lithium, cobalt has been raised a lot, so the important raw materials for electric vehicles have rushed to the sky!
On the last day of 2021, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Development and Reform Commission and other four ministries jointly issued the "Notice" on the adjustment of the subsidy policy for new energy vehicles, which clarified that the subsidy standard for new energy vehicles in 2022 will decline by 30% on the basis of 2021
Coupled with the rise in chip price shortage in the past two years, the car-grade chip has risen from the original tens of yuan to thousands of yuan, and the recent rebound of the epidemic, the continuous epidemic shutdown in major regions, the imbalance between supply and demand, and so on
But the most important thing is that the price increase of raw materials is the key point that will eventually lead to the price increase of new energy vehicles, and now Tesla and BYD officially announced price increases, if the problem of rising raw materials has not been alleviated, it is expected that other companies will also follow this wave of price increases
