After scaling up in their home market, Chinese factories are starting to supply EVs to the rest of the world

at about 26,000 pounds . And Shenzhen-based BYD, which stands for Build Your Dreams, last month launched three EVs for sale in Europe at the Paris Motor Show, including the compact Atto 3 SUV.Wei Jianjun, chairman of Great Wall Motor, which is launching a new budget EV in Europe called the Ora Funky Cat, said the company is still learning how to cater to different tastes and demands in overseas markets.

In an emailed statement, BYD said it is selling electric cars and buses in dozens of countries and is leaning on local employees for a “solid understanding of the local markets.”“In the future, BYD’s [electric] cars will enter more markets and will be manufactured as well as sold globally,” the company added.

And during the auto show, Macron walked past the BYD display without “taking the briefest of glances at the Chinese stand,” according to Schmidt, who attended the show and interpreted Macron’s walk-by as a snub — and a sign that protectionist measures could increase in the E.U., where import tariffs on Chinese vehicles are currently 10 percent.

It’s simple Chinese manufacturers that embrace NACS for charging cars will be the first successful ones in the US, and blow legacy auto out of the way.

No, I won't.

Heck no, I don't want one even if it was free!

Even the dinosaur in the back wants us to move on from oil. Tehe.

No we shouldn't buy anything from them while they literally perform genocide. Does feel differently?

It doesn't matter. If the car isn't made in China, all the parts will be.

No

I still have the correct signals in my inner screen!

What's the difference between them and all the other cars already made in China? lol.

I won’t buy any electric car, ever.

NOPE

No

You can’t be serious, all the components of Tesla are made in china . All the components of all cars are made in china , the keyboard you wrote this article on and the computer you uploaded this article on are made in china 🇨🇳- wake up

For sure not a first gen model.

Nope

Nope.

And they’re cheaper than US cars .. You know .. because having a monopoly on the electric car supply chain is important in lowering prices

I wonder what will the price of electricity be when all the world drives electric Cars. If the world would shift today to eletric Cars, the infraestructures we have are not sufficient to charge all vehicles and we haven't enough electricity facilities...só prices would skyrocket

Sorry, 100% waste of money.

I would buy any cheap electric car for local commute. Sadly none exist

I'd buy whatever the hell I could afford

At the last possible alternative probably

Do we trust anything coming from China? The UK have banned serveilance cameras imported from China.

If you have a Tesla you already have

Yes

Of course

No

I wouldn't buy any electric car.

No

No

With the way China is erupting in riots(excuse me, mostly peaceful protests), I doubt we'll be seeing much made in China crap for a while.

Isn’t that the basid of Capitalism?

No

Price Range & any Mid-size pickup Trims

Not knowingly, no. 🐝

No

I've no use for an electric vehicle at all with my daily drive of 300+ miles delivering construction equipment. That said I've ordered a Tesla. 🙂

🥺👉👈🍊

Something about the Chinese and their track record with lithium ion batteries just doesn’t sit well with me.

Not a chance

Gonna wait til they test that thing for lead.

Nope. My underwear say made in China. If it were possible, I would not buy anything from China.

Definitely. Don't even think twice.

Hell Hell No

Nope. 🔥

They can’t even get a handle on Covid, how can they build cars? Those poor people have been in lockdown for nearly 3 years.

Well, It will banned by American Government, because electrical car will leaking American citizen's

No. I want to support American made EVs.

If they are good why not

BYD designs and manufacturers incredibly stylish and luxurious vehicles.. the only problem here is Chinese car makers will wipe out Most Americans and European manufacturers hands down...

NEVER

No f ing way!

I wouldn't trust the software in the car. The Chinese government wants so badly to spy on all Americans.

Absolutely not. Probably preloaded with spy and malware.

Bought a German one and a Korean one already. The next one will be from Japan or China. American cars are not competitive enough on the market.

No

Only if government can turn it on or off depending on my social credit score

If it works correctly does not burst into flames 🔥 or seize in the road sure why not.

Fuck NO. Zero support for CCP - we’re handing the $$$ to hang us with.

Just make sure there are heavy tariffs on Chinese manufactured cars

Would you buy a Huawei phone ? O wait those are banned by ISPs…

If better constructed than a Tesla, and cheaper than a North American made one? Sure.

Nope. I don't plan to buy one made here in good old USA either though.

No

Do you need a negative COVID test to start it?

No!

No way

I won’t buy an electric car no matter who made it!

No

If they are produced to similar quality standards as, say, small kitchen appliances such as percolators or coffee makers, then, no. Huge waste of money. Flimsy, fragile - break within a year.

Nah, I'd put it in the same category as a Tesla. Not worth the risk even at half the price. There are plenty of other EVs out there to choose from.

Absolutely not

I wouldnt buy an 'electric' car at all.

adam_tooze NO! Fund OUR DESTROYER?

No

No!

I wouldn't even touch a tesla!!

If it is good enough, I would like to buy one.

If it could go 500 miles and recharge in 5 minutes, yes. If not, I’ll stick to my current car, which goes 500 miles on a tank and can be filled up in 5 minutes.

Only Teslas

No, but I won’t buy an electric car until they can fill up as quickly as my car.

Never

No. I won’t even buy a made in USA EV.

no

Boycott everything from China..

No never, that's why I stayed away from the new MG's sorry MG.

I would never buy a Chinese made electric car. They cannot maintain high quality and have a culture of using low grade materials for high turnover. Are you serious? Who is going to spend $40K on a car that lasts 2 years?

GREAT SUPPORT COMMUNIST CHINA. SICK AND TWISTED

Nope, un uh, not happening, no way, get out of here.

Not just no, but hell no. Matter of fact, I won’t buy one wherever it’s made.

No, but I sure would love to buy a made-in-Japan EV Honda Fit, not available in the US. (And surprisingly, my regular gas Honda Fit gets 40+ mph on the freeway, 30 or so in town.)

Nope, as much as possible, I avoid buying china's products,

So China controls the electric car market. After Biden family made multiple millions of dollars from China, Biden now dictates we all must drive electric cars.

I buy BYD masks, might as well buy their car.

Lol relying on Russia for gas and China for cars............bright future ahead for Europe...............

Nope the totalitarian regime doesn’t deserve the sales

NO

What’s it cost to replace a bad battery?

What’s funny about this question is it completely ignores the fact that the primary investor in companies like Lucid, are the Saudis. Because we killed the electric vehicle long ago, now it will be financed by all the worst people. Almost impossible to get around. Almost.

All coming together isn't it?

Nope
