  • China has a solution to the EV problem: Price! Electric cars are expensive in Europe but China is producing a wide range of cheap small electric cars and now they are going global! Will these mini-cars be just as big of a hit in Europe as they were domestically?

    Young people may not know that VW invented the Beatle, a practical, functional, and affordable "People's Car" that was sold & loved by millions around the world. Car companies nowadays only serve the rich with expensive models for greater profit. I hope China can succeed in making car affordable again for everybody.

      This is nonsense. Even in China, the appeal of small, mini-EVs is limited to densely populated, urban cities. China's problem here is that the battery tech the Chinese gov't is promoting and pushing for export is less energy efficient and heavier (and loses a lot of capacity in cold) strictly limiting its use to entry-level, low-range EVs.

    Those European OEM's are SOOOOOOO arrogant. You think they can't afford to homologate their products to global standards? REALLY? Of course they can and they'll do it at a fraction of the price because they are quick, nimble and not usually bogged down by as much bureaucracy when it comes to product launches... 24-month design cycles and model lifespans are common there... In the EU and the USA? 60-month if you're lucky... I mean the VW 2026 launch that I believe has already been cancelled is a galling reminder of how NOT serious VW is at making mass-market EV's... Much less the $77K CAD entry level price for their freakin' Microbus...

      What's driving the cost of EVs globally is China's artificially propped up EV market demand. That in turn creates highly inflated demand for raw materials like lithium, which makes it very expensive for other EV/battery makers to build EVs. When China's last EV tax break/subsidies ended on Jan 1, 2023, the price of lithium collapsed by 75%.

It already happens in china/ Asia) and promoting healthier no carbon traditional solutions of cycling for last mile solution.

      Agreed, I don't love the trend of mega-sized and high-priced EVs (and cars generally) in western markets, but when you get to a certain level of local mobility...most people really should be walking, biking, taking public transit, etc. rather than driving a car in the first place. I would much rather take quality non-driving alternatives than have to drive these types of little EVs and have only basic features, relatively poor driving dynamics, and still have to deal with the urban driving annoyances such as parking in cities. Unlike the US and Canada, the EU has been making more serious strides in offering viable mobility alternatives to urban driving. If I am going to need a car, I would rather have it be a comfortable highway cruiser and semi-enjoyable to drive. Cars like the upcoming VW ID.2 are my personal ideal from a size, power, feature, and aesthetic preference. And if I can't afford and don't need a car...I'd rather not have to own and pay for one at all if there are better alternatives.

Even if it only hits 55, it would be perfect for the daily commute of a large percentage of people in the US. This is the car whose performance numbers I seek to replicate in my Fiat 500 when I convert it.
    It's laughable that the governments and businesses of Western countries expect their citizens to pay more for something than is reasonable. It's good for tax revenue and helps to oppress the people who are stupid enough to fall in line. The trouble is that most westerners do jump in line to get the next big thing.
