Less than a month after the last price increase, Zeekr adjusted buying rights and interest of customers again. The rise of upstream raw materials continues to affect the EV enterprise. With the market factor overlaying the external factors, there is still a long way to go to boost China's auto-consuming market.
Chinese EV startup Zeekr announced that affected by the continuous uprising price of the raw materials in the upstream, from June 1, it will adjust the purchase rights and interest of its two WE-models of Zeekr 001.
The adjustment includes canceling the complimentary 7kW smart home-charging pile worth CNY 6,599(USD 979), and canceling the free update of the 21-inch wheel hub worth CNY 11,000(USD 1,632) and changing it to the standard configuration of the 19-inch wheel hub. The clients that have paid the deposit won’t be affected by the adjustment.
