When riding an electric vehicle, all the power is stored in the battery, so after a few years of use, if the mileage decreases, you need to replace the battery in time.
1. Battery-grade lithium carbonate fell below 100,000 yuan/ton, and the price of batteries will further decline
At present, there are two main types of batteries used in electric vehicles, namely lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries, the price of lithium batteries is relatively high, because of the high cost of raw materials for lithium batteries, which reached 600,000 yuan/ton at the end of 2022, but it has been fluctuating and falling in 2023, on January 9, the spot price of battery-grade lithium carbonate was 98,000 yuan/ton, falling below the threshold of 100,000 yuan/ton, and some industry insiders predict that the price may fall below 80,000 yuan/ton in 2024.
The price of raw materials for lithium batteries will fall, which will reduce the cost of lithium batteries, so the price of lithium batteries will be further reduced, if you wait a few more months, I believe that the price of lithium batteries will be further reduced, and after the price of lithium batteries is reduced, the price of lead-acid batteries will also be lowered, so if you wait a few months to replace the battery of electric vehicles, the cost performance will be higher.
2. Wait a few months, and sodium batteries may start mass production
Sodium battery is a new type of material battery, its advantages are very prominent, not only the safety and stability of lead-acid batteries, but also the lightness and practicality of lithium batteries, and the service life of sodium batteries is longer, can be used for 10 years, so sodium batteries are more durable.
In 2023, a number of electric vehicle brands have released sodium battery-related products, such as Yadea released the extreme sodium S9, Xinri released the Feichi DK series electric vehicle, and Tailing launched the first love EB sodium electric version, these electric vehicles have begun to go on sale, and the price of sodium batteries is much cheaper than lithium batteries, just slightly higher than lead-acid batteries.
In 2023, a number of sodium battery industrial bases have begun to be built, and many industrial bases will begin mass production of sodium batteries in 2024. So if you wait a few months to replace the sodium battery, it will be cost-effective and durable for the owner.
3. Replace the battery in a few months, and the effect of replacing the battery will be better when the weather warms up
At present, it is winter, we know that whether it is a lead-acid battery or a lithium battery, it is very sensitive to the impact of temperature, after the temperature drops, the mileage of the battery will be reduced, even if the new battery is replaced at this time, it will not significantly increase the mileage of the electric vehicle, the key is that after the temperature is reduced, the charging power of the battery is also reduced, and the damage to the battery is greater when charging, so it is not cost-effective to replace the battery now.
If you wait for a few months to warm up and then replace the battery, the battery will work more efficiently and will be less damaged when charging, which will allow the battery to last for a few more years.
Summary:
If there is a car owner who wants to replace the battery in the near future, if the battery can continue to be used, it is recommended to wait for a few more months, because after waiting for a few months, not only will the battery price be further reduced, but also the service life of the new battery will be normal, and there is one more option, and at the same time replace the battery in the summer, the battery will be more durable. So, what do you think about this?
