    Not sure why you’re being downvoted. There are a LOT of Chinese EVs here. Volvo recently launched a new EV too that’s super popular.

    There’s also Volkswagen and Polestar of course. That said you see a lot of BYD, MG, Lynk & Go here. I don’t keep track of all the brands, my roomie is more of a motor nerd, I’d ask him if he wasn’t sleeping.

    In short though, the Chinese EVs tend to be really good deals.

        Ah, you’re absolutely right.

        To be fair, I think it’ll be kind of tough to get a foothold on the Chinese market for the same reason. There’s a lot of really good Chinese EVs so why go with something from a foreign market when the local stuff will do just fine?

      Volvo released a new EV besides Polestar (which as far as I’m aware is also tied to Volvo (and it’s parent Geely)?

        Think we’re talking about the same car, the EX30?

        I know that Polestar is their like, “fancy” brand, but when I say Volvo I generally mean Volvo and not Polestar. Just like how I keep Opel and Peugeot separate.

            Yeah it’s so depressing. No one makes small cars anymore, they’re all gigantic battleships.

            Volvo to be fair has been making battleships for decades, like the V70 was like, the most popular car here for the longest time, and you still see Volvo battleships from the 70s rolling around here.
