It is obviously about preventing Chinese battery manufacturers selling in Europe.
The problem for EU is that EU car companies make a lot of money in China so banning Chinese cars here makes us open for retaliation.
- rightbyte 3y agoApart from Dacha there is no affordable cars being made anymore. I think BMW etc really don't want competition for the 3rd or 4th owners market. Like, they want rich people to buy new cars and resell them. Not that poor people buy new 12kUSD cars from the factory since it would tank the economics of buying a new BMW.

- dotancohen 3y agoI had the opportunity to examine a Dacia recently, and I was blown away by the apparent build quality. Just closing the door felt as solid as any German luxury brand if not as heavy. The owner smiled and mentioned, yes, this vehicle is designed to still be functional after driving on Romanian roads.
- soco 3y agoI'm a bit confused, you one side say there's no cheap car in Europe, then give a price in USD - are you actually in Europe and know what you are talking about? You can get a new Fiat, Citroen or Mitsubishi under 15k (some even hybrids) even here in the high-price-island Switzerland.
- rightbyte 3y agoYe I might have underestimated the available cheaper models. A Mitsubishi Space Star seems to have about the same price as a Dacia Sandero.
- mathverse 3y agoNope. This is an equalizer. We already can only sell pre-approved stuff in China and the same for US. We are about to enter an age where these things are going to be revised.
