Why is the price of electric vehicle batteries rising?

Recently, information about price fluctuations of electric vehicle batteries (lead-acid batteries) has been heated up. Someone boldly predicted that the price of batteries will rise sharply in the future, conveying a hint that dealers will suffer a big loss if they do not stock up. Will the price of batteries rise? 　　 Lead plates are the raw materials for lead-acid battery manufacturing. For a long time, this upstream price fluctuation has caused cost changes to downstream assembly and internal formation processes, but battery companies will purchase Raw materials are used to adjust battery prices in a timely manner. Therefore, it is a typical phenomenon in the industry that battery sales follow the market. As the raw material prices of lead materials and plates have been fluctuating at high levels in recent years, it is normal for the ex-factory price of lead-acid batteries to fluctuate. In the past half month, the price adjustment of lead-acid batteries is completely within a reasonable range.　　 In the past two weeks, the lead time has risen from 16,000 to 18,000. I believe that in the future, the price of electric vehicle batteries will also be adjusted accordingly. Previous: Will fast charging affect the battery life of electric vehicles?
