And my prediction is that in the UK EV market, MG and Volvo are the thin edge of the wedge of Chinese cars.
BYD are on the roads now, and Omoda, soon to be followed by Zeekr, XPeng, Nio and Xiaomi. How well MG does specifically is irrelevant to all that, but your suggestion seems wishful - they have several new models out this year.
Tesla's brand reputation is in a ditch, and the big EU brands are struggling to keep up.
- alias_neo 1y agoI've also seen a lot of JAECOO vehicles which look like a rip off of Range Rover's styling.
- SideburnsOfDoom 1y agoI think JAECOO are part of the same group as Omoda / Chery. I have no idea if I should have listed it separately or not.
- alias_neo 1y agoOh interesting, I had no idea. I've really not looked too much into Chinese EVs beyond some YouTube channels talking about some of their sketchy tactics to incentivise "influencers" and presumably subsidies to get to the kinds of prices they're selling at in the UK. I wouldn't consider buying any of them so all I really know is what I see on the streets.
