AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/30 Report--

Recently, some media visited Eula Automobile Beijing Fengtai 4S store and learned that at present, the production capacity of Oula good cats is limited. No matter the ternary lithium version or the lithium iron phosphate version, it takes at least three months to book a car. Users who pick up the car this month basically place orders in February and March.

Euler good Cat was officially launched at the 2020 Chengdu Auto Show, and the new car is the third pure electric SUV named after black cat and white cat. According to relevant data: Ola good cats sold 1264 in April, in addition, from January to April, Ola good cats sold a total of 6995.

Euler's positioning is biased towards female car brands, and by the end of 2020, orders for good cats had exceeded 10,000, according to Euler officials. Yao Fei, director of marketing and communication in Euler, once said in a media interview that the sales target of good cats is 5000 a month and the challenge target is more than 5000. However, in terms of current sales, it has not reached the one-month target of 5000 vehicles set earlier. And since the launch of the Ola good cat, many riders have complained that the Ola good cat is difficult to give birth, and even some car owners have withdrawn their bookings.

According to a "Euler car owners group" user told the media that he placed the order in mid-December last year, so far has not been delivered, waiting for a little restless. Another car owner who has just booked a car said that he had chosen the Venus version of the ternary lithium battery version with a range of 400 kilometers, but it would take more than a month for delivery. Complaints like this can be found everywhere in Euler's good cat forums.

Earlier, on March 9, there was an article entitled "what do you want from the Great Wall?" The post has attracted the attention of many cyclists.

The content of the post is about: an Euler owner ordered an Athena version with a range of 400 kilometers in early December because he couldn't wait for the car. He asked the 4S store to check the production schedule for him, and his pick-up date was in mid-April or late April.

After the post, many car owners said that they would not be able to pick up the car at the end of May when they placed the order in mid-January.

In response to Euler's complaint about a good cat, a car owner who booked a cat on Zhihu also said that many of the early owners withdrew their bookings because there was no news at all and they did not know when and when they would wait. So far, the problem of "dystocia" of Euler cats has not been solved. Earlier in March, relevant media visited the Oula good cat store. The store said that the good cats with a range of 400 km have two versions of lithium iron phosphate battery and ternary lithium battery, while the 500 km model only has a ternary lithium battery version. Lithium iron phosphate version of the delivery cycle is longer, now booking the car, it will be around the end of June to pick up the car. The ternary lithium battery version has a shorter cycle, but it also takes more than a month to wait.

By consulting the announcement of 335 and 336 batches of "Road Motor vehicle Manufacturing Enterprises and products" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there are currently two battery suppliers for good cats. Among them, lithium iron phosphate battery is provided by Jiangsu Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and ternary lithium battery is provided by Honeycomb Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Jiangsu Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ningde Times in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, was established in 2016. Honeycomb Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is a battery company owned by Great Wall Motors. It was founded in 2018 and has a factory in Changzhou.

For the slow delivery of Euler cats, sales from Euler said: first, the lithium iron phosphate version of good cats is too easy to sell, and the early backlog of orders is too much to digest at once; second, Euler cats are produced at the Taizhou production base of the Great Wall. Taizhou base is a newly built factory, and the capacity of the new factory is also a slow process. Therefore, the shortage of Euler cats may continue for some time. The third is the insufficient supply of lithium iron phosphate batteries, which belongs to the problem of battery suppliers. On the issue of deposit, the sales also said that if you want to book a car now, you need to pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan first. If you are worried that the waiting time is too long, both parties can agree on a pick-up time, after which the deposit can be returned free of charge.

As for the real reason for the slow delivery of Euler cats, we can only wait for the announcement of Great Wall Motor. According to previous media reports, affected by the shortage of chips, the two major production bases of Yongchuan and Xushui in Chongqing are facing suspension of production in May and June, affecting a number of models, including Harvard H6, Great Wall Gun, Tank 300 and so on. Great Wall Motor also issued an announcement on April 26 to clarify that the above news reports are not true, and that the company's two major production bases in Chongqing and Xushui have no plans to stop production, although the company is currently facing a shortage of chip supply. factory production has been affected to a certain extent, but none of them has stopped production.
