Uncle Che summed up
As a leading brand in the field of new energy vehicles in China, BYD's related technical level, brand influence and user recognition are very high. BYD D1 such products as an operating model for the online car market, the price is higher than that of ordinary family cars is understandable, after all, the battery pack warranty time of the operating model is longer, in addition, as a product jointly developed by BYD and Didi Automobile, the pricing of the car is not determined by BYD alone, but in the face of such a large price increase, many industry consumers will still feel very disappointed. In the view of Uncle Che, different positioning models face different consumers, and our ordinary consumers still have to buy corresponding products from their actual needs. From the recent market performance, the price of electric vehicles has been unstoppable, some models have been higher than the price of the same level of oil vehicles, in this case, consumers can choose oil vehicles or wait and see for a period of time, after all, today's oil prices have a downward trend, with the extra money to refuel is not fragrant?
