EVE Official Alibaba Store, the end of Luyuan and other alibaba sellers?

[740GLE]

In spring 2022 I wanted to buy before the “giant spike in cell prices due to record demand”

I paid $121/cell for Eve 230 delivered and I was happy.

I just bought 12 280ah for about $90/cell delivered, and I’m happy with the purchase.

I wonder what the next 2 years will do for cell prices

Emily my understanding is the new tariffs don't apply to energy storage batteries, are the prismatics considered to be EV batteries and subject to them?

The tariff rate on lithium-ion EV batteries will increase from 7.5% to 25% in 2024, while the tariff rate on lithium-ion non-EV batteries will increase from 7.5% to 25% in 2026. The tariff rate on battery parts will increase from 7.5% to 25% in 2024.

The tariff rate on natural graphite and permanent magnets will increase from zero to 25% in 2026. The tariff rate for certain other critical minerals will increase from zero to 25% in 2024.
