And that's despite the EU tariffs on Chinese manufacturers.

Well, in my country I can get up to 7K EUR back if I purchase a EV before the money runs out, not sure tariffs end up having any impact.

Then again, Chinese car companies are price dumping on purpose to kill the competition.

  • Chinese cars are a lot more expensive outside of China than they are inside of China. And the difference is not just tariffs and shipping; they earn a lot more profit per car for exported cars than ones sold internally.

    IOW, they're not dumping, they're doing the opposite. I don't know why.

      If they're doing the opposite yet end up a lot cheaper with higher quality and more features, I'm really not sure what's going on. Don't see how they could be cheaper either.
