At the same time, the price of the battery pack flexibly upgraded to the long-lasting battery pack is adjusted to 9800 yuan / year; the price of the flexible upgrade per month remains unchanged, still 880 yuan.
Weilai Automobile told Nandu reporter that it is expected to release the 2022 ES8, ES6 and EC6 in late May, and there is no plan to postpone the release.
