Funny. It was EU and America that made sure Australia no longer makes vehicle. Right?

[@perrylee1913]

For Australia, it is simply. Get the best cars at the lowest price. They have no concerns over protecting domestic car makers.

[@kenbehrens5778]

Perry as we don't have any car manufacturing in Australia all 1.2 million new cars bought each year here are imported. In 2018 Chinese made cars captured 0.9% of ne car sales. In 2023 15.9% of the new cars sales is from Chinese built cars. Tesla, BYD, MG, GWM and others all made in China.

[@amjedali5164]

@@kenbehrens5778 Finally a comment that is 100% correct on the figures. Keep in mind our so-called car industry was making the cars here yet all the profits going to the US and Japan. Every other country requires joint ventures e.g. Thailand, India, Pakistan, Malaysia and so on when it comes to manufacturing cars. While the US car makers Holden and Ford got billions of taxpayers funded subsidies and still no one wanted their products as soon as other options where available. I will guarantee you in 2024 it will surpass 20% of all cars sold are Made in China.

[@david-bd6td]

Even US consumers 60% are willing to buy Chinese EV ...😅

[@SawyerMcgill]

How long could the US gov't lock their people in the cage to prevent them from having access to Chinese EVs??

honestly they made quite good EVs overall

[@GilbertChuah-qc4ei]

My next car will definitely be a Chinese EV. Exclusive of USA and its vassals (for "national security concerns"), there is a growing global demand for Chinese EVs

[@2GlobalMarkets]

The collaboration between China and Australia in critical minerals is indeed vital. China's role in technology transfer and investment has been significant, and the high quality of their EVs is impressive. As Australia relies on imported vehicles, the presence of Chinese EVs is beneficial for consumers. The removal of trade impediments on products like wine and barley is a positive step, and hopefully, the issues with lobster trade will be resolved soon. The evolving dynamics of these relationships are indeed noteworthy 🙂💚

[@MetaView7]

The problem with Aus is that there is a small number of rednecks making a big negative impact on the Aus-Cina relationship.

[@nukestrom5719]

BYD should focus on Asia, Africa, and South America instead of the US and EU. These are emerging economies with a growing middle class.

[@user-de7lf6dd2o]

In fact, BYD has never considered the US market.

[@hehe-mq2bk]

that is what they are doing. American and EU branded cars will be isolated from the rest of the world.

[@oceanwave4502]

EU is a declining continent. Before Covid, it was more or less clear; but now, after Covid/war/trade war, EU is in clear decline.

[@joewilliam2259]

Trades good for both sides. Consumers benefit.

[@UCMpDwp7VEfKXRH3NyAW7kuj]

Buyers in Australia realize that US high tariffs just prove Chinese evs are great product so that US can't compete and have to put 100% tariffs to help US brands to survive

[@datianlongan5567]

Australia provides majority of the raw materials used in Chinese EV production. If US & EU want to stop the "overcapacity", they should consider shutting down the mining operations down under.

[@ianrobertson1952]

The other advantage is Japan and Europe have been using Australia as a dumping ground for cars that don't meet fuel and pollution standards in the rest of the world

[@NoFrillz-G]

I want one. My area floods very often and I believe an EV will help me plow through 1-2 ft of still water. A normal ice will usually fail at the 1 ft mark.

[@kevinlin4895]

You might want to consider the BYD Yangwang U8, assuming it's in the budget, as that SUV can literally float and navigate on water for short periods

[@jerryzheng7114]

​@@kevinlin4895 nah, it's a bit risky to buy such an expensive car early on when the after market service network might still be in progress. start off with more modest models, which will have larger volume, would be prudent.

[@mingyudu469]

You can wait for other BYD model or GWM model. They have not yet introduced their best off road cars

[@DanBurgaud]

Green Energy such as Solar is very popular in sunny Australia; it is only natural EV to be popular there. Charge your EV with Solar; absolutely no fuel cost. Also you can power your home from your EV.

[@woodensurfer]

Our family had a Holden in Hong Kong in the late 60's early 70's.

[@duncankowable]

better than driving a Holden for sure.

[@000T00b]

"They’re expanding into our market" says the female reporter in Hong Kong. SMH. No babes, *you* are in *their* market.

[@cmartinmnl]

So Toyota exports 50% of their manufactured car and Europe exports 30% while China export 15%. NO wonder US politicians are laughed at! They can't do simple math!

[@BSnicks]

In the US, they teach something called common core math. Look it up, and you will be shocked about this idiocy. It's not math for mathematicians. But math for lawyers and illiterates. 😂

[@johnlay3040]

There shouldn't be any issue about Chinese EV's in Australia. Although there can be a problem with insufficient charging stations.

[@padtag1742]

EU too. We don’t want crazy expensive EV, they don’t worth it. Give us robust good price Chinese EV

[@dann5515]

But gotta say thx to EU and US trying so hard to stop CN EV coming in..so we australian can get it sooner than expected!!

[@elcmu2637]

Cars are like TVs. CRT TVs used to be expensive now they are cheap. I have no issues w/ cheap cars. I think consumers will benefit.

[@polysporin8332]

all countries have rare earths. It is just that these countries don't want to process them. These factories cause a lot of pollution. It has nothing to do with China, but their own unwillingness to take the bitter, along with the profits.

[@directxxxx71]

One important thing, the technology to extract them efficiently

[@tonynote]

This whole 'overcapacity' thing is just BS. You never cared about those T-shirt and socks 'overcapacity' into your countries.

[@monk786]

Econ 101, Supply and demand. If there are demands, it isn't overcapacity.

[@dann5515]

The [Overcapacity] word are still using in US and EU and still clueless how many people around the world laughing at them like a clown

[@klarkewang]

NAH Aussie will pour all dirty water on these Chinese EVs shortly cause they dont make their own policy.

There are consumers demand in North America and Europe too. Otherwise, no need for tariff in North America and Europe. 😂😂

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

China will come out with an EV car where you press a button and the left hand steering wheel and pedals will move across to the right hand side. It is so easy to do since no mechanic movements in the car.

The term “Overcapacity” has been used here flippantly ………or intentionally to shape the narrative.

[@hchalz]

It is irrelevant what consumers want. What matters is that we must ban anything contaminated by China. When you buy an EV, it's not just an EV, it's also your support for democracy, freedom. How can you possibly buy anything touched by Chinese if you have any loyalty to the US?

[@yunko9369]

So, it is perfectly OK for GM to sell millions cars in the China market and made billions. Buick divsion would have brankrupted long ago if not for the Chinese market.
