I own a Shanghai-built Tesla. When you live in a country that doesn’t build cars, Chinese EVs are very difficult to ignore

CMilk and SerpentZA will have a heart attack when they see this video.

It's the 1970s and 80s Japanese cars vs the world, all over again. Western car makers learned nothing.

The auto battery swap tech in the NiO's is really cool and they've build over 800 of them so this might actually become a real thing in China.
Would certainly tackle many of the problems with EV's including battery degradation and the difficulty of recycling. That will be much easier with a system like that.

In Australia I am seeing these Chinese electric cars everywhere. And definitely getting pushed on Australian automotive youtube channels, it seems.

Until end of 2022, In China, the EV bus except long distance bus is 542.5K, 98.8% or total.
5000 YuTong EV bus sold in 2013 has been operated for 8 years without major issues.
In 10 years life time, it can save 20% cost.

That's why the US is pushing tax breaks for building in the US and is being protectionist and putting huge tariffs on Chinese EVs.

First corporations need to cut executive pay to have money to compete

The "blind spot" reference is accurate. Legacy auto deliberately ignored the low-profit-per-vehicle bottom end of the market, focussing on the upper end for EVs and leaning back on their income from selling masses ICE cars at the bottom end. They left the door wide open. Initially the Chinese products were mediocre, but now they're top-rate.

I own an MG4, but hired a Citroen C3 during a recent overseas trip. On return I was relieved to get back to the MG4. It is not only far cheaper to run, bur in simple terms it's just a much better car.

Pathetic to see so much jelly in the comments. Get over yourselves - you didn’t lose anything and this is not a national race. Let the best products rise in competition and let the consumers enjoy!

The biggest problem with Chinese cars in Europe was not covered, which is the lack of supply chains for parts. Chinese cars have higher insurance premiums because of the cost of parts, once they get on parity with the dealerships and service centers, then its just the charging stations in each country that affects all EV sales, that will affect their sales. We can start to see this aspect changing but slowly.

I think EU and China have reached a deal yesterday to make the price of Chinese cars similar to EU made vehicles. Looks like no additional additional tax for Chinese EVs .

Excellent video. I think the ship has sailed. Now we need to jump onboard or be left behind.

In Malaysia people are getting so excited with Chinese EVs with their innovative specs and affordable price. Our local brand Proton will be launching it's first EV which is co-developed with Geely China.
No one talks nor cares about Merc, BMW, Audi, Hyundai, Kia EVs anymore. The Tesla hype has subsided for now due to it's higher price and ridiculous options price tag.
The only 2 European EV brands that still get the local excited are Volvo and Lotus but that also partially due to their parent company Geely..

Elon Musk did not found Tesla. The company was originally founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Musk took credit for their work.

The Chinese also are building renewable energy and nuclear energy aggressively. In the next ten years, Chinese people will enjoy clean EV that have long range and they almost cost nothing for fuel. The effect on living standard increase will be mind boggling.

No worries, Rest of the World will move on. America will be stagnant..
