I don't think many here realize how many Chinese EVs are sold globally.

In Europe Volkswagen group dominates EV sales by far, but Chinese competitors are taking lots of the other spots. Jaecoo is one that recently has been spreading everywhere.

It should worry plenty that Europeans are gonna buy Chinese cars with their huge amount of tariffs even when they end up priced similar to European or US offerings.

I was recently surprised by an Italian YouTuber doing the "stans" tour of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and these countries were ultra filled with Chinese EVs. There's no chance anything sells in any similar way.

Not gonna lie, I was very jealous at the fact they could get such great cars in the $ 10/20 k range.

I hate these nationalistic socialist tariffs.

They only make local producers less competitive (as they are protected from competition) and at the same time erode your own exports.
