Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, July 12, according to data from Kelly Blue Book, in June this year, the average transaction price of new energy vehicles in the United States was $53438 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 385000 yuan), down 20 percent from the same period last year, continuing the downward trend of new energy vehicle prices in the country for several months in a row. In January this year, the average transaction price of new energy vehicles in the United States exceeded 61000 US dollars. In June last year, the average transaction price of new energy vehicles in the United States was $66390, that is, within a year, the price of new energy vehicles in the United States dropped by an average of nearly $13000 (currently about 93730 yuan).

Cox Automotive, which produced Kelly Blue Book, pointed out that as the market leader of new energy vehicles in the United States, Tesla is the main factor driving down the price of new energy vehicles. Another factor is that some carmakers have seen an increase in inventory this year, with inventory levels in the new energy vehicle category well above the industry average. The inventory days of the new energy vehicle category in the United States are 103 days, that is, the new cars have been left at dealers for more than three months before they are bought, compared with 53 days for the industry as a whole.

Michelle Krebs, executive analyst at Cox Automotive, said: "driven by Tesla's price reduction, the average price of electric vehicles has fallen sharply this year, which is a key driver of the slowdown in the industry as a whole. A year ago, the average price of electric vehicles was higher than the average price of luxury cars. Now, with the increase of inventory and supply, the price of electric vehicles is approaching the industry average."

The blue book also showed that discounts offered by manufacturers also increased in June and reached an one-year high of an average of $2048, accounting for 4.2 percent of the average transaction price, an increase of 0.2 percent from May.

Overall, the average transaction price in the u.s. car market last month edged up 1.6% from a year earlier to $48808. Kelly Blue Book pointed out that this was the smallest year-on-year price increase since the global outbreak, up only 0.3 percent ($150) from the revised May figure of $48658. At the same time, transaction prices fell 1.7% ($865) compared with the beginning of the year, the biggest drop in January to June in the past decade.
