In the two calf stores in the Hexi store and the Beimenqiao experience store, the operator also confirmed the news of the price increase to reporters. The operator of the Beimenqiao experience store told the Yangtze Evening News/Purple Cow News reporter, "I have received a notice, and the purchase price will rise on April 1." The operator of the Hexi store said, "The spot in the store can still be bought, and there is no price increase for the time being." As for those who do not have existing cars in the shop, reservations are not accepted. Because in case the purchase price rises high in a few days, it will lose money if it is sold at the price booked now. ”
There are also price increases for a number of electric vehicle brands
During the visit, the operator of a No. 9 electric vehicle shop told the Yangtze Evening News/Purple Cow News reporter, "We will also raise the price in April, because the price of lithium batteries has risen, and cars using lithium batteries may rise by one or two hundred yuan." ”
The operator of an Emma electric car store in Jianye District, Nanjing, told reporters, "The price rose at the end of last year, such as this lithium battery electric vehicle with a price of 2699 yuan, which normally has to be adjusted at least one or two hundred yuan. ”
It is understood that in November 2021, Emma Electric Vehicle sent a price adjustment notice to dealers. The reporter saw from the pictures uploaded by netizens that at that time, Emma decided to adjust the price of the vehicle, all lead-acid models rose by 50-150 yuan, and the price increase of lithium battery models was subject to the price list. In March 2022, Emma once again issued a price adjustment notice to dealers, and from March 16, the price of the vehicle will be fully increased.
In early November 2021, Yadi also issued a notice of price increase. The notice said that because the prices of upstream raw materials and parts such as steel, lead and aluminum have risen and there is no downward trend, its internal cost control has been unable to overcome the upward pressure of costs, so Yadi decided to raise the wholesale and terminal retail prices of electric vehicles by 50-100 yuan on November 15.
