Electric car prices are rising even more batteries are causing trouble

Electric vehicles have become the preferred means of transportation for many citizens. Since the beginning of this year, the price of electric vehicles has continued to rise, making many consumers who are planning to buy cars deter. Ms. Zhang, who is preparing to buy a car, said that the price of electric vehicles has risen so much that I really do not know how to start.

“Our car in the store rose by 165 yuan at the beginning of April and rose by 80 yuan in June. It also rose by 80 yuan in July. It rose several times in August and the price rose so that consumers could not accept it. Our business." Yesterday, an electric vehicle salesman in Zhenxing Road, downtown said. A woman who came to the car and told reporters regretfully said: "I've been smashed, and the owner only agreed to pay 30 yuan cheaper. A while ago, the neighbor bought the same car, less than two months before and after, a difference of 180 yuan. ”

Recently, the reporter visited several electric vehicle sales shops in the downtown Zhongshan Road and found that prices have risen to varying degrees. When asked about the reasons, they were all told that the price of batteries has risen, causing the price of electric vehicles to increase. In addition, due to different brands, the price increase range is different, some within 100 yuan, and some rose more than two hundred yuan.

“We are also worried that prices will rise too high, but the recent supply pressure on the batteries will have a significant impact on the electric vehicle industry,” said Mr. Zhang, head of the sales department at Zhenxing Road, an electric car company in Taiwan. According to reports, since the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China issued the "Notice on Strengthening Pollution Prevention and Control of Lead-acid Storage Battery and Recycled Lead Industry" in May, battery manufacturers have been thoroughly investigated throughout the country, and lead has a low threshold and simple manufacturing process. The acid storage battery industry has undergone a major reorganization. A batch of lead-acid battery manufacturers with small scale and high pollution have stopped production or shut down; and it is still a time-consuming process for the relatively safe and efficient lithium batteries to be fully applied to electric vehicles.

Consumers are most concerned about future price trends. According to several sales staff members, it is unlikely that the price of electric vehicles will drop in the near future under the background of battery reorganization.
