I’ve just started the ball rolling to purchase a 2023 Ioniq 5 as I’d like the bigger 77kwhr battery but if it was at all possible to get a Zeekr 001, this is the car that I’d prefer.

Actually I do live in China. This car does look fantastic, but I think I am more in the market for a BYD Dolphin or something very practical. Here in small-town China, there are all kinds of small vehicles swarming about the place with drivers who seem to suffer from some kind of tunnel vision and a compulsion to cut everyone off at every turn. So a small, light and affordable car will have to be the first when I go electric.

Sam mentions the US tariff. China companies like Zeekr can avoid this auto tariff by assembling cars in the US - like GM did with the Chevy Bolt. Cars assembled in Canada and Mexico also avoid tariffs.

[@ab3000x]

My fear is that Chinese made cars may not be let into the country due to "spy equipment." Volvo needs to build Zeekr in the U.S. to get them on the road here. All Volvos sold in the States are made in the States is my understanding. I think the first Chinese built car that'll be sold in America will be the Toyota/Subaru SUV built by BYD. That could be the icebreaker that opens the floodgates. I want a NIO ET5 so somebody needs to get Chinese cars stateside.
