The price of battery materials is outrageous! Electric machins are going up in price.
Recently, almost all new energy vehicle companies have announced price increases. One of the core reasons is that the prices of raw materials such as batteries have risen sharply.
Since this week, a total of 6 new energy car companies have disclosed price increases, including BYD, Xiaopeng, Nezha Automobile, Leapmotor, four new domestic forces, and two overseas manufacturers Tesla and Lucid.
Of course, cell phone batteries are not immune. Last night, Lu Weibing tweeted: "Recently, the price of battery materials has indeed risen very ridiculously. Please cherish the super-power mobile phone."
At present, the price increase of battery materials is bound to be transferred to end consumers.
Li Xiang, CEO of Ideal Motors, said that at present, the brands that have contracted with battery manufacturers to determine the price increase of batteries in the second quarter have basically announced price increases immediately. Most of the price increases have not yet been negotiated, and the price increase will generally be immediately after the negotiation is completed.
"The rate of increase in battery costs in the second quarter is very outrageous. Buying a car can also appreciate, and the overall price of used cars in the United States has risen by 30%." Li Xiang said.
According to the Financial Associated Press, in terms of raw materials, upstream costs, led by nickel and lithium carbonate, continue to pile up. Nickel prices are still on the high side; 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.
