Weilai's revenue in the second quarter is unfavorable: every car sold for each car, the loss exceeds 100,000 yuan

Driving China September 9, 2022, Weilai, one of the new forces of the car, disclosed the second quarterly report of 2022. According to the financial report, the revenue in the second quarter reached 10.29 billion yuan, a year -on -year increase of 21.8%, and exceeded 10 billion for the first time; the vehicle delivery volume reached 25059 units, an increase of 14.4%year -on -year; 18.1%. Net loss was RMB 2.758 billion, a year -on -year increase of 369.6%, and a month -on -month increase of 54.7%. With a net loss of 2.758 billion, with the calculation of 25,000 vehicles, Weilai lost more than 100,000 yuan for each car in the second quarter of 2022.

In this regard, Li Bin, chairman of Weilai, said that the industry is currently facing the rise in batteries, raw materials and chip prices, and Weilai's gross profit margin is also affected.

It is reported that in March of this year, the average price of lithium carbonate of battery -class exceeded 500,000 yuan/ton. After that, it fell, and recently began to rise upwards. On September 2, it exceeded the historical price of 535,000 yuan/ton.

But in addition to Weilai, other new vehicles are not good. In the second quarter, Xiaopeng Automobile's net loss was 2.709 billion yuan, an increase of 126.1%year -on -year, and a month -on -month increase of 58.8%. In the second quarter of the ideal car, the net loss was RMB 641 million, while the ideal car's net loss in 2021 was only 321 million yuan Essence

Therefore, as the price of power batteries is getting higher and higher, the more car companies sell, the more they lose. Then considering that Weilai is a power replacement technology, the natural cost is much higher than other peers. Therefore, when can Weilai get rid of the dilemma of losses, except for the external environment, when it can launch more affordable brand models, maybe it can earn the quagmire.
