Chinese EVs are not concepts or prototypes. they're in mass production already.
outside of China, yes, they're probably a rare sight. in Chinese cities however, from what I saw, a double digit percentage of cars are their EVs - which is a lot of cars in a country with 1.5 billion people.
don't take my word for it, there are probably plenty of videos on youtube that show and discuss Chinese city roads.
- aerzen 2y agoI can testify that Chinese EVs are starting to pop up in Europe. Not a lot, but if you do a lot of driving, you can spot one or two a day. Given their price and performance, I think we'll be seeing more of them in the future. The two downsides (that I was told of) are build quality (at the same level as tesla) and obsession with large screens (same as tesla).
- Freedom2 2y agoUntil it reaches the most important and greatest market in the world (Midwest US) it's hard to take these cars seriously. The variety and diversity of terrain is the real test of a car's longevity - until then, they are simply toys.
- rsynnott 2y agoNah, they’re common enough in Europe. Somewhat impeded by weak dealer networks, and dubious marketing (for a couple of years, ORA was trying to sell something called a Funky Cat, though they’ve recently rebranded it as something more boring) but they’re a thing.
