Price Increase Forecast Map of SAIC Roewe New Energy Products Outflowing Online

As for the reasons for the price increase of the brand's new energy products, judging from the price increase forecast chart of SAIC Roewe's new energy products flowing out from the Internet, it is also affected by factors such as global chip shortage and the decline of the national new energy subsidy policy.

Multiple force majeure factors led to the price increase of products. However, SAIC Roewe said it would do its best to ensure the production capacity and supply of its models. At present, it is not known which new energy model of SAIC Roewe will rise and the extent of price increase.

So far, SAIC Roewe officials have not responded to the above news.

In fact, it is not an accident that SAIC Roewe new energy models want to raise prices. As early as before SAIC Roewe released the price increase forecast, many automobile enterprises announced price increases and carried out price increases of different ranges. According to the automobile industry concerned about the previous statistics, only in February this year there are three automobile enterprises have announced the adjustment of vehicle prices, these three automobile enterprises are Feifan Automobile, BYD Automobile and SAIC GM Wuling Automobile respectively.

On February 1, the prices of some models of MARVEL R and ER6 under Feifan Automobile were adjusted, among which the price of MARVEL R after adjustment was 2198 - 261,800 yuan.

After adjustment, the price of Feifan ER6 is 15.68- 201,800 yuan, and the price of all models rises by 1000 yuan.

On February 1, BYD Automobile increased the price of some new energy models, including its new energy product series Dynasty Net and Ocean Net. The specific models are Qin PLUS DM-i, Qin PLUS EV, Song PLUS DM-i, Song PLUS EV, Song Pro DM-i, Yuan Pro, Han EV, Han DM, Tang DM-i, 2021 Tang DM and Dolphin models respectively.

On February 7, the price of Wuling NanoEV rose. The adjusted price range was 528 - 62,800 yuan, and the price of the whole series rose by 3000 yuan.

The reason why these three car companies announced price increases is also due to factors such as subsidy decline, fluctuations in raw material prices and rising cost prices.

On December 31,2021, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the subsidy standard for new energy vehicles in 2022 by 30% on the basis of 2021. It is clear that the subsidy for new energy vehicles will be terminated on December 31,2022, and no subsidies will be given to vehicles licensed after December 31. After the issuance of this policy, Tesla, Xiaopeng Automobile, Guangzhou Automobile Ai 'an, A number of new energy vehicle brands, such as Zero Run, have been officially announced to raise the prices of some of their models.

In addition to the policy retreat factors of the new energy automobile industry, the automobile industry has also mentioned in previous articles that the fluctuation of raw material prices is one of the key reasons for the price increase of automobile enterprises.

In 2021, the cost of automobile power battery will be greatly affected by the price fluctuation of metal raw materials upstream of the supply chain, including cobalt, nickel, manganese, lithium and other metal raw materials and their compounds, which will increase greatly. Among them, the tight supply demand of lithium carbonate, one of the raw materials necessary for lithium battery production, will also directly lead to higher prices. Compared with the beginning of last year, according to the statistics of China Automobile Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance, the average price of cathode materials for mainstream ternary lithium batteries will increase by 108.9%. Lithium iron phosphate battery cathode materials rose by an average of 182.5%. The early price of lithium is only 30,000 yuan/ton, and has now risen to 330,000 ~ 340,000 yuan/ton, an increase of 10 times. Industry personage predicts: In the future, lithium carbonate market will still maintain tight supply state, industry supply growth rate is far from meeting market demand, but with the new production capacity six consecutive production, it is expected that the second half of this year will ease.

Finally, returning to the topic of price increase of SAIC Roewe, the automobile industry pays close attention to the official website of SAIC Roewe. At present, the new energy products of SAIC Roewe include pure electric models such as Ei5 and i6 MAX EV, as well as hybrid models such as ei6 MAX, RX5 eMAX and RX5e PLUS.
