On March 21, the news, The official announcement of The Maverick Electric Vehicle, its products will begin to increase in price on April 1, ranging from 200 yuan to 300 yuan, subject to the price increase. After Tesla, BYD and other electric vehicle companies, electric vehicles are also going to increase in price.
The cost rise is the main reason for the price increase of electric vehicles and electric vehicles, the most important thing about these products is the battery, the vast majority of electric vehicles and electric vehicles are lithium batteries, but the sales of electric vehicles are getting higher and higher, the demand for lithium batteries is also getting higher and higher, and lithium ore has long been in short supply.
From the perspective of the stock market, all lithium mining companies, as long as they have resources in their hands, the stock can immediately rise sharply. The problem is that electric vehicles are still in the early stages of development, and the supply chain that wants to support is also developing, and the current lithium ore resource mining and battery production capacity are far from enough.

The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and the electric vehicles that had existed for many years were also affected by the shortage of lithium ore resources and were forced to increase prices. Fortunately, The Maverick electric car focuses on the high-end market, and the price increase is 200 yuan to 1000 yuan, which is actually not too big. More importantly, Maverick gave the user a period of time, about ten days in advance the official announcement is about to increase the price, and now the user to buy the Maverick electric car, has not yet increased the price.
For ordinary consumers, the most concerned thing is definitely when lithium ore resources can meet the demand, so that electric vehicles and electric vehicles can bid farewell to the price increase crisis. Xiao Lei inquired about the relevant information, and the snowball platform @ Big Tree Stock Research predicted that lithium ore resources will reach a tight balance stage in 2023, and market demand will be met in 2025.
However, in terms of the market share growth rate of electric vehicles, the development of the new energy automobile industry may be faster than expected, and lithium ore resources may not be able to meet market demand in 2025, and this time may be postponed until lithium ore can keep up, or the demand for electric vehicles is reduced. Considering that chips are also in short supply, electric vehicles may have to increase prices many times in recent years.
For consumers who plan to buy electric vehicles and electric vehicles, Xiao Lei's suggestion is to buy as soon as possible, especially electric vehicles, now pay a deposit, first set the price, after all, even if you pay money to buy it now, it will take half a year to pick up the car.
Xiao Lei is worried that the shortage of lithium ore resources will become more and more serious in the future, and the areas affected will be more and more, and he is afraid that in the future, mobile phones will also increase in price due to battery prices. Now many low-end mobile phones are not competitive, the main selling point is the big battery, if they also increase the price, then how uncomfortable this consumer is.
