CTOnews.com, January 9 news, due to the sharp rise in the price of lithium-electric materials in 2022, major car companies have announced an increase in the price of their new energy vehicles. Even GAC GROUP Chairman Zeng Qinghong publicly said that the cost of power batteries has accounted for 40%, 50%, or even 60% of new energy vehicles. Now car building is working for the Ningde era.

However, the situation improved at the end of 2022. According to the Nikkei Chinese website, the high price of rare metals used in pure electric vehicle (EV) batteries has been put on the brakes. The target price of lithium, the main raw material, hit a three-and-a-half-month low on January 5 since late September 2022, and the prices of nickel and cobalt have also been relatively low since the beginning of this year. the background is the market's concern about the slowdown in the growth of Tesla, a big pure electric car company in the United States.

In this case, the price of Tesla's domestic models has been greatly reduced. According to the official website, the adjusted price of domestic Model 3 is 229900-329900 yuan, down 20, 000-36000 yuan, and the adjusted price of Model Y is 259900-359900 yuan, down 29000-48, 000 yuan. After this price reduction, the price of Tesla has reached a record low.

In this regard, Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the Federation of passengers, said yesterday that there was great pressure on China's used car market in 2022. As offline operations were seriously affected by the closure and control of the epidemic, a large number of used car business premises could not operate normally, and the price fluctuation of stacking inventory made it difficult for used car dealers. The recent price reduction of China's Tesla is a normal trend, and used car dealers should have expected it.

Cui Dongshu said that the core of electric cars replacing fuel vehicles is price competition, and behind it is industrial innovation and cost control. With the gradual decline in battery costs of electric vehicles, resources such as lithium ore will not continue to be a constraint, and the price of lithium carbonate will return to around 200000, or even lower, because the supply will gradually diversify. The scale advantages such as large-scale manufacturing and integrated die-casting will be further highlighted.

He also pointed out that now that the price of lithium carbonate has fallen below 400000 on the futures side, battery costs are bound to drop significantly in the coming months. The withdrawal of new energy subsidies is conducive to the return of lithium carbonate prices to the middle and low levels.

According to data released by Shanghai Iron and Steel Federation, some lithium materials fell today, battery-grade lithium carbonate fell 10, 000 yuan / ton, the average price was 492500 yuan / ton, industrial-grade lithium carbonate fell 10, 000 yuan / ton, the average price was 460000 yuan / ton; lithium hydroxide fell 7, 500 million yuan / ton; nickel beans rose 4300 yuan / ton.

CTOnews.com once reported that data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed that China's lithium-ion battery industry continued to grow rapidly from January to October 2022. According to industry norms, enterprise information and research institutions estimated that the total output of lithium battery in China exceeded 580GWh from January to October.

"Chief scientist of the Ningde era: the supply of lithium ore is sufficient on a global scale, and a large part of the price increase is due to speculation."
