"The price of oil has just risen to the heart, and it is not unusual for four-wheeled electric vehicles to rise in price, and I did not expect that two-wheeled electric bicycles would also increase in price."
On March 21, a reader reported to the hourly news reporter that some electric car brands had announced that they were going to increase prices.
According to media reports, Xiaoniu Electric issued an announcement that due to the sharp rise in raw materials (prices) such as upstream lithium batteries, Xiaoniu Electric will raise the retail guidance price of all lithium battery products on April 1, 2022, with an increase of 200-1000 yuan, which will be subject to the release at that time.
"The maverick is going to increase the price, and if you want to change the battery car, you must grasp it, take advantage of the price increase, if there is activity, change it." Some netizens said.
Another netizen said after seeing the announcement that the price of upstream lithium batteries has risen, will other brands increase prices? The battery is estimated to rise, right?
What is the situation in Hangzhou? Will the price increase? The hourly news reporter went to a number of stores today to inquire.
At more than 10:00 a.m., the hourly news reporter came to Qiutao North Road, where there are a number of brand stores, involving brands such as Maverick, Luyuan, and Yadi.
On the glass door of the Maverick shop, there is also posted the news of spring activities, G2-100 direct drop of 700 yuan, G2-60 direct drop of 500 yuan, UQi urban version of 500 yuan, etc., a variety of models have price reduction activities.
Entering the store, the reporter saw that there are G series, U series, M series, of which the G series has the most cars.
The boss introduced: "The G series is relatively cheap, and the price of the activity is more than 3,000, which is more affordable." ”
The G series car, which was originally priced at 4699, has a range of 55 to 60 kilometers, and now the event price is 3999 yuan.
Speaking of the mavericks about to rise in price, the boss said: "It is indeed going to increase the price, if it is fast, it will rise on the twenty-seventh and eighth of this month, but not all." Like the 4699 model, the activity price may be gone at the end of the month, it will rise by 200 yuan, and it is more cost-effective to buy it now. The G series sells relatively well, dozens of units a month. ”
In addition to the calf, the boss also operates a green source brand of electric vehicles, "green source has not yet heard of price increases, if you change the battery, you have not heard of the price increase." ”
The hourly news reporter came to the Eleta electric car store again, and the owner of the store, Mr. Wang, has been selling electric vehicles for more than ten years.
"The price of electric vehicle batteries has been raised since October last year, including the price of lithium batteries, and lead-acid batteries have risen three waves." Lithium batteries, which were originally more than 700 yuan, have now been adjusted to about 1,000 yuan. In the short term, it may be only one or two hundred dollars. ”
The price of the cars in his shop is basically around 3,000 yuan.
Boss Wang said that the price increase is mainly due to the increase in the price of raw materials such as iron and copper, including the upstream materials of lithium batteries, so the price will be raised. "Now the price of replacing the battery is not going to rise in the short term."
He said that there is also a law in the price increase of electric vehicles, if the first-line big brands have not yet increased prices, the second-tier brands will basically not take the initiative to raise prices. "If first-line brands like Yadi and Emma raise prices, then second-tier brands will also rise, first-tier brands will rise by about 200, second-tier brands will rise by more than 100, and electric vehicles will rise too much, and it is difficult for everyone to accept."
The reporter asked about the Yadi brand. "Recently, some other electric vehicle brands have raised prices, and Yadi has not yet gone up."
The hourly reporter came to the Vicinity of the Qingchun Overpass on Qingchun Road, where there are a number of electric vehicle shops.
The reporter inquired about the situation of the Xiaoniu store, and the staff in the store introduced: "I did receive a notice of price increase, the range is about 200 to 1000 yuan, how to rise specifically does not know, to wait for the specific notice, mainly lithium battery prices have risen." Now it is more cost-effective to buy, like G2, the activity price is 3999 yuan. Five or six thousand of U series, M series 6000 or so. The situation of changing the battery may also change with the price increase. ”
"The news has reported a price increase, and the Mavericks have announced a price increase." Yadi has risen once in November last year, up about 200 yuan, and will soon increase the price, if you buy it, it is still necessary to buy it as soon as possible, and now it is basically an electric car with lithium batteries, and the price is in three or four thousand. The staff at Yadi shop said.
