On April 1, Lantu Automobile officially announced that the price of pure electric models was raised by 10,000 yuan, and the range extender model was temporarily not raised, and the above changes will officially take effect on May 1, and it is best to take advantage of the small partners to buy a car before May 1.
Xiao Lei is more curious that the official did not mention whether the owners of the owners who have been decided will be affected by the price increase. When the ideal announced the price increase a while ago, it meant that users who paid deposits through major official channels before April 1 were not affected by the price adjustment. If there is no accident, Lantu car should also have the same operation, so now the car should be bought as soon as possible, and the price may increase if it waits.
Lantu automobile this wave of operation is more interesting, only raised the price of pure electric models, but did not adjust the range extender model, it seems to tell the majority of consumers, Lantu range SUV does not increase the price, and competitors should be more conscientious. Lantu is one of the few new energy vehicle companies in China to launch a range extender hybrid system, and its range extender models are priced at more than 300,000 yuan, positioning high-end.
Why is the price increase of the pure electric version of the model, i think everyone has been very clear, one of the most important core components of electric vehicles is the power battery, and the vast majority of electric vehicles on the market use lithium batteries. Nowadays, the supply of lithium ore resources is quite tight, but the new energy automobile industry is accelerating its development, which has increased the demand for lithium batteries, resulting in a soaring cost of raw materials.
For range extender models, Xiao Lei believes that power batteries are not a key source of power, so the dependence on batteries is not as high as that of pure trams, and the rising cost of lithium batteries is not very important. Qin Lihong, president of Weilai, once said that stable prices are good for consumer interests and the market, and Lantu should also consider it this way.
Having said that, today's range extender cars are still so popular, the most important factor is the endurance, Lantu FREE range extended version and the ideal ONE in the case of full fuel and full power, the endurance can basically exceed 800 kilometers. Lantu's wave of price increases should also affect the upcoming dreamers of pure electric MPV models, but Xiaolei expects that as the cost of lithium batteries becomes higher and higher, the range extender models may also rise together.
Nowadays, most of the domestic electric vehicles are increasing in price, Tesla, BYD, Wuling and other new energy vehicle companies have basically announced price increases, but compared to new energy models with gasoline, electric vehicles are still worth starting. Today, the price has risen again, and even if the price of the extender model does not increase, the cost of refueling will not be low.
