The Chinese BEV automakers are coming to Europe/UK in numbers starting this year, SAIC, JAC, Geely NIO, X-peng ORA, Leap motor, Great wall motors, MG with top notch BEV’s the western car makers can only dream of making, The Legacy automakers are going to be so screwed, Even Herbert Diess CEO of VAG group says they’re going to dominate here.
A recent start up electric car company named Leap Motors has launched a car that’s outselling Tesla cars YOY at a fraction of the price.

The Leap Motor CO1 sedan has a 90kWh battery with 700km’s of range 550 hp & a 0-60 mph time of 3 seconds flat :open_mouth: at the starting price of $26,770 in China, When it gets to Europe/UK it will still be a country mile cheaper than Legacy auto. Ferrari performance for a fraction of the price any car western car makers could make. carnewschina.com/2022/05/12/lea … 26770-usd/
