A few days ago, Weilai officially stated that due to the continued sharp rise in global raw material prices this year, Weilai will make appropriate adjustments to the prices of its products from May 10, 2022.
In terms of car price: the starting price of ES8, ES6 and EC6 models has been increased by 10,000 yuan;BaaS battery rental price, the battery rental service fee for long-life battery packs is adjusted from 1480 yuan/month to 1680 yuan/month; the price for flexible upgrade of battery packs to long-life battery packs is adjusted to 9800 yuan/year;
In this regard, Li Bin, founder, chairman and CEO of Weilai, said that raw materials, especially battery raw materials, have risen too much this year, and there is no downward trend in the near future.Originally I wanted to carry it, but the epidemic is so unbearable that I can’t carry it anymore, and the price increase is also compelled to do it. Please understand.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the previous surge in battery prices forced car companies to increase vehicle prices. Li Bin said at NIO’s fourth-quarter and full-year financial report:
“We have conducted in-depth research on all upstream links and believe that there are more speculative factors in the current price increase of lithium carbonate, and there is not such a big gap between supply and demand. Recently, we have also seen that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other competent authorities are coordinating the price mechanism. We Call on upstream lithium mines, lithium salts and other manufacturers to proceed from the long-term interests and not artificially increase prices, which is not a good thing for the industry.”
According to previous media reports, the reasons for the price increases of car companies all point to high raw material costs and inflationary pressures. In terms of raw materials, upstream costs led by nickel and lithium carbonate are still rising, and nickel prices are still at a high position;
The ex-factory price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has reached a maximum of 530,000 yuan/ton, and the average market price has also exceeded 500,000 yuan/ton. But at the beginning of 2021, it was only 50,000/ton, and such an increase exceeded everyone’s overdue.
