In the new era, many new power brands have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Brands with strength and technology can survive, but how many such car companies are there? Wei Xiaoli used to stand on the same level, and now the ideal is no longer to play with the other two brands.
In addition, everyone is complaining that the ** of new energy vehicles is too expensive, often three or four hundred thousand, and this ** can buy the fuel version of b b a. Do new energy brands think that China is rich? In fact, the pricing like BYD's is reasonable, and NIO does not have a car below 200,000, it seems that people are going to take the high-end route! Friends who want to buy a tram recently, I advise you to wait, the battery ** will usher in a "diving type"**
The faucet began to drop in price
Among the battery pack manufacturers for electric vehicles, CATL belongs to the big brother level, specializing in manufacturing batteries and providing battery packs for car companies. In the past, the cost of battery raw materials was relatively high, so the manufacturing and processing of battery packs were naturally more expensive. Now the battery *** plus CATL has begun to optimize the battery pack, and the cost control is lower.
Recently, CATL has adopted 173AH VDA lithium iron phosphate battery cells. It has a faster charging ability, which is also to solve the problem of users' battery life anxiety. It is reported that the new battery has 2The fast charging capacity of 2C rate, the charging rate has increased again, which is also a breakthrough in the battery industry.
The cost of the battery is also relatively low, controlled at 04 yuan, which seems to be unprecedented, means that the cost of the tram is declining, and the user needs to pay a relatively low fee when replacing the battery with the car in the future. Unlike in the past, when it cost 50,000 or 60,000 or even higher to change a battery, now taking a 70-degree large-capacity battery as an example, the cost is only 210 thousand. If the battery capacity is relatively low, the cost will not exceed 20,000 yuan, and the cost of the battery is significantly lower than in the past. After all, the future direction is to develop new energy vehicles, and batteries are the most important components, and price reductions are also inevitable.
Solve the pain points of the industry
In the early years, the cost of batteries was very high, and I don't know if you still have an impression. Previously, 600,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate battery raw materials were required, but since last year, there have been signs of price reduction, from 600,000 tonnes to 90,000 tonnes. People in the industry are saying that the battery will continue to decline, and this is now confirmed.
The new battery launched by CATL has been reduced in terms of **. From the long river of development, it can be seen that the stumbling block to the development of trams may be the high battery. When the executives of car companies promote new cars, the strategy of high pricing will be attributed to the fact that the battery is expensive, and now it is different, and it is not expensive if you want to, unless there is something different in design. Once the CEO of GAC Group put forward his own ideas on the cost of batteries, and he felt that the high cost of batteries was an obstacle and pain point for the development of the industry.
Because in the process of vehicle manufacturing, we can see how high the cost of the battery is, and after the cost settlement of automobile manufacturing, it is found that the battery accounts for 40% 50% of the cost of the whole vehicle, that is to say, half of the cost of the vehicle is occupied by the battery, and if the car company does not increase the selling price, the corresponding profit will be lower. Now that the cost of batteries has fallen, even if the original profit is maintained, the price can still be appropriately reduced, so the ** of electric cars in 2024 should usher in a turning point.
The car market responded quickly
Today's lithium batteries have overcapacity, and with the reduction of costs, the price reduction of new energy vehicles has become inevitable. Even if you don't cut prices, other car companies will cut prices, so the result of competition in the market is that everyone starts to cut prices to protect sales. Entering the beginning of 2024, there has been a first-class war, such as Tesla's two successive preferential policies.
Li Auto even gave 3The preferential range of 50,000 yuan is closely followed by brands such as Leap and Ola. If it's not a particularly urgent need, you can really wait a little longer, and you won't lose money when you start again. If the battery continues to decline, the car will continue to decline, which is also what everyone wants to see, after all, everyone hopes to buy preferential and easy-to-use products.
