We all know that the mainstream battery currently is lead-acid, which accounts for over 90% of the two wheel electric vehicle market. With the progress of lithium-ion battery technology and the weight limit of the new national standard, more and more electric vehicles are starting to use lithium-ion batteries. Lithium batteries, although used for a long time, are expensive in price.

In a two wheeled electric vehicle, a set of regular lithium batteries of the same model is about 1.5 to 2 times more expensive than lead-acid batteries and has a lifespan three times that of lead-acid batteries. In terms of single use cost, lithium batteries are already dominant, but the cost is still too high. With the advancement of technology, a decrease in the price of lithium batteries is definitely an inevitable result. In the future, the price of lithium batteries will be the same as that of lead-acid batteries, and even lower than that of lithium batteries is not impossible. If the prices of the two are the same, what new changes will occur in the electric vehicle industry? Today, I'll tell you!

The reason why the new national standard electric bicycles are so expensive is mainly because the cost of lithium batteries accounts for the majority. If replaced with lead-acid batteries, the cost of electric bicycles will decrease by at least 30%. If the prices of lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries are the same, then a large number of national standard lithium-ion electric vehicles worth thousands of yuan will appear.

The proportion of lead-acid electric vehicles will decrease, but they will not completely exit the market.

At present, electric motorcycles are mainly equipped with lead-acid batteries, and only high-end electric motorcycles priced above 5000 yuan are equipped with lithium batteries. If the prices of lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries are the same, enterprises will definitely adopt a large number of lithium batteries, and the proportion of lead-acid batteries will decrease. However, the biggest drawback of lithium batteries is poor stability, so many users are still concerned about the safety issues of lithium batteries and will continue to purchase lead-acid battery models.

The price of electric vehicles will not decrease, but their range will increase!

Even if the cost of lithium batteries drops by more than half, the price of electric motorcycles will not decrease. Once a manufacturer proactively lowers prices, its profit margin will decrease. It is not a wise move for enterprises. The correct approach for enterprises is to increase battery capacity and allow electric vehicles to run further. To enhance the user experience.

If the price of lithium batteries is the same as that of lead-acid batteries, it is inevitable that the market share of lead-acid batteries will decrease. But it will not completely disappear, ultimately forming a binary coexistence situation. Even if the cost of electric vehicles decreases, companies will not actively lower prices, but rather make their products better and form stronger market competitiveness.
