In response to the recent announcement of price increases by a number of car companies affected by fluctuations in raw material prices, Weilai said in an interview with relevant media: "Price stability is good for the interests of users and the market, and Weilai has no intention of increasing prices in the short term." At present, the international raw material price, including chip supply and demand, has made the cost of the entire supply chain change greatly compared with before, and Weilai will also make flexible decisions according to changes in the objective environment. ”
In addition, the pictures exposed on the Internet show that Qin Lihong, co-founder and president of Weilai, said in the circle of friends: "Weilai does not increase prices."
Following the three rounds of Tesla price increases since March 10, car companies including BYD, Chery, Xiaopeng, Nezha, Zero Run, Geometry Automobile and other car companies have announced price increases, ranging from 2,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan.
On March 19, Li Xiang, CEO of Ideal Automobile, said: "At present, brands that have contracted with battery manufacturers to determine the price increase in the second quarter have basically announced price increases immediately. Most of the brands that have not yet increased their prices have not yet been negotiated, and they will generally increase prices immediately after they are negotiated. "The increase in battery costs in the second quarter was very outrageous. War, politics, and the pandemic have made it possible to appreciate the value of buying a car, and the price of used cars in the United States has risen by 30% overall. ”
According to the data of the new energy heat list of the e-car App, Weilai ranked 7th in the list with an average daily attention of 1.6249 million. For more data, please check it out on the EasyCar App.
