According to the manager, the price of the e-Largus electric car turned out to be "difficult to implement" given the competition from Chinese brands.

The question is the price. The prices that we announced are, let's say, difficult to implement for this car, especially given the competition from Chinese manufacturers. It's good that the recycling fee for all electric vehicles has been raised since January of this year, now let's see how the market will play this out.
