Zeekr MIX: This Is Not A Concept Car

[@Wheelsboy]

Pricing for the Mix has been announced! Pricing will begin at 279,000 RMB (39,000 USD) for models with the 76.5 kWh LFP battery and 299,000 RMB (42,000 USD) for the larger 102-kWh NCM pack. Honestly, more than I expected, but do you think it’s still a good deal at those prices?

[@kckfen]

@Wheelsboy I think, is still a very good deal, looking at how much tech and design has been put into this car. I'm not sure if they will make this a global car and an RHD version. If there is an RHD version, I'm definitely interested in getting one. Very unique, no other car in the market has these features.

[@EV-olution]

Compared to anything we have in Canada, that pricing is amazing for what is being delivered.

[@TomLee-g5z]

@@EV-olutionmy impression is that EVs are more suitable at southern regions, the battery is running out much quicker in cold weather, so is EV still favorable in Canada? Just asking because I never been there before.

[@theolich4384]

Not a bad price, but the basic trim costs more than a fully loaded Zeekr 7X sitting right next to it in the showroom (or the Li Auto L6 next door). Too special a car I'm afraid to say for the majority of Chinese consumers.

They shouldn’t because… Senator Joe Manchin is not an official lobbyist, but as a U.S. Senator from West Virginia, he has close ties to the coal and energy industries, which are crucial to his state. His political actions often align with the interests of these sectors, leading to accusations that he indirectly advocates for their benefit. Manchin has been known to oppose climate legislation that could harm the coal industry, reflecting his commitment to local economic interests. As chair of the Senate Energy Committee, his influence over energy policies is significant, further fueling these perceptions. While he’s not a registered lobbyist, his actions as an elected official often intersect with industry priorities. For example, in 2023, Manchin proposed a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, citing concerns over the growing dominance of Chinese companies in the EV market. This proposal fits into a broader U.S. strategy to reduce reliance on Chinese technology and promote domestic manufacturing, particularly in the high-tech and energy sectors.
