I wish you could buy Chinese EVs in United States.
- speedgoose 3y agoYou can buy a Polestar I think.
- ptr 3y agoPolestar is Swedish. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polestar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polestar
- stephen_g 3y agoThey are designed in Sweden but Polestar (along with Volvo) is now owned by Geeley, a Chinese company.
- mdasen 3y agoThe Polestar vehicles are manufactured in China (in addition to being owned by Geeley, a Chinese company) If you check the vehicle info in the door, they note they're made in China: https://static.cargurus.com/images/forsale/2023/11/04/04/31/2024_polestar_2-pic-3555117585540801214-1024x768.jpeg https://static.cargurus.com/images/forsale/2023/11/04/04/31/...
- leke 3y agoVolvo are owned by the Chinese!?
- speedgoose 3y agoYes. Geely also own Lotus and started to produce heavy Lotus branded SUVs. MG is also Chinese.
- ptr 3y agoYes — the Wikipedia article that I linked says so as well. But Polestar is headquartered in Sweden, and the cars are designed by Swedes in Sweden. It’s a Swedish brand.
- brockj 3y agoYou can buy personal EVs directly from China today (e-scooters, e-bikes, e-unicycles).
- 1-6 3y agoI wouldn't buy a Chinese ICE vehicle (besides maybe a Wuhan-made Honda). What makes you think EVs would be any different?
- AllegedAlec 3y agoI too like to burn alive in a vehicle that'll disintegrate at 100kph or above.
