Entering March, oil prices have been released, after experiencing two rises, now even 95 standard gasoline is 9 more than 9 liters, many car owners have said that they can no longer afford to refuel. At the same time, the rise in oil prices has also made many "waiting parties" with currency waiting to buy germinate the idea of buying new energy vehicles. However, this year's situation is slightly different, because compared with last year, the entire new energy vehicle market has seen price increases.
On March 15, Tesla adjusted the price of Model 3 and Model Y, with an increase ranging from 14,248 to 20,000 yuan. Following Tesla's price adjustment, BYD has also increased its price, netizens: oil can not be added, cars can not afford to buy
Specific models, Model 3 rear-wheel drive version of the price increased by 14,248 yuan, from 265,652 yuan to 279,900 yuan, I don't know if you remember the model 3 when it was the cheapest even 240,000 yuan, after experiencing several price increases, the price difference has come to 40,000 yuan. The model 3 high-performance version rose by 18,000 yuan, from the original 349,900 yuan to 367,900 yuan.
In terms of Model Y, the price of the long-endurance version rose by 18,000 yuan, from 357,900 yuan to 375,900 yuan; the high-performance version was raised by 20,000 yuan, from 387,900 yuan to 417,900 yuan.
It is worth saying that this is the second price increase for Tesla in a week, and the last price increase was on March 10, 5 days ago. At that time, it was for the Model 3 high-performance version, model Y long-endurance version and Model Y high-performance version of the price adjustment, the increase was 10,000 yuan.
In addition to Tesla, BYD has also adjusted its prices. On March 15, an announcement was issued saying that due to 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 3,000 to 6,000 yuan. The price adjustment starts on March 16, and users who have been scheduled before that date are not affected by the price adjustment.
According to the subdivision of models, Qin PLUS DM-i, Song Pro DM-i, Song PLUS DM-i and Tang DM-i rose at 3,000 yuan, compared to Tesla, this is a more conscientious price increase, but also the volume of DM-i super hybrid family.
In addition, models such as Qin PLUS EV, Song PLUS EV, Yuan Pro, Yuan PLUS, e2 and Dolphin have increased by 6,000 yuan.
Since the beginning of this year, due to the shrinking subsidies for new energy vehicles, many car companies have chosen to increase prices in order to ensure the profits they should have, like the recent Euler black cat and white cat, the official announcement of the suspension of production, focusing on the production of higher profits of good cat models. The second reason is the rise in manufacturing costs, which has a particularly significant impact on the manufacturing costs of power batteries. When the production costs of the upstream supply chain generally rise, the car companies in the downstream need to bear all the costs, and the car companies will naturally not do loss-making business in order to ensure revenue, and the extra part of the cost needs to be borne by our consumers.
Will the collective price increase of new energy vehicles affect consumers' desire to buy? I personally think that it will be affected in a short period of time, but the impact will not be too big in the future, after all, this is the trend of the times, whether it is a car company or the government, are constantly promoting new energy vehicles, with the increasing number of new energy vehicles in the future, the choice of fuel vehicles is less and less, consumers even if they are unwilling to have to choose new energy vehicles.
At this stage, the most critical is to solve the problems of charging pile infrastructure construction, battery life, and single mileage, and only by solving these problems together, consumers will be more willing to accept new energy vehicles.
