Top Chinese Car Brands Expanding Globally

[@brucethompson2940]

I am in Costa Rica. I bought a BYD S1 PRO (Yuan Pro) EV about 1 year ago and I love it. BYD has 6 dealers in Costa Rica and I see MANY BYD EVs on the roads now. It is interesting to note that Costa Rica generates 100% renewable electricity so EVs are truly green here. It is also interesting to note that there are NO Tesla Dealers in Costa Rica. I assume it is because Tesla is way to expensive compared to the many Chinese EV alternatives available here.

[@TripBitten]

Nice! It is always good to hear from people that own a Chinese brand because it gives more weight to their comment. I'm glad you have had a good experience with BYD.

[@R-Cforeverfriends]

Wow, Costa Rica rules!!!

[@Anonymous------]

How does Costa Rica produce electricity?

[@TripBitten]

Not sure if you are trying to be like "ha got you about electricity production in Costa Rica" or just actually asking? But, according to sources "Renewable energy in Costa Rica supplied 99.78% of the energy output for the entire nation in 2020." So, they produce most of their energy in a renewable way. www.trade.gov/market-intelligence/costa-ricas-renewable-energy#:~:text=Renewable%20energy%20in%20Costa%20Rica,power%20and%2015%25%20from%20geothermal.

@@TripBitten That's good. Petroleum causes too many problems, it's expensive and eventually runs out anyway. When China can make sodium batteries good enough to replace the lithium batteries that will be another level up for EVs.

[@leeway777]

You are an expert in Chinese; most expats cannot pronounce "Changan." You did a great job.

[@commie5211]

During ICE era, Chinese economists was constantly debating why Chinese cars was not competitive, the result was, all the important technologis was patented. If they pay those patents, the price wouldn't be competitive, if they get around those patents, the performance wouldn't be competitive. So, nobody was interest in investing the Chinese automotive industry. During the EV area, they learned from previous mistakes and started early. Of course i would buy it.

[@arthurgadz646]

i already own a Geely car and its so great, much better than most Japanese cars at its price segment aside from of course perceived reliability.. I really don't regret buying it, its performance is great, really nice interior, very good exterior design, surprisingly good built quality, very engaging driving dynamics, and very low price.. I really enjoy my over 2 years of ownership

[@TripBitten]

Cool to hear you like the Geely cars and have had a good experience.

[@greentraveler4114]

I would definitely like to buy a Chinese Made EV, actually I don't think most people would care about product's origin, just care more about product's quality price and service which these days I believe Chinese EVs are extremely competitive, however, of course a lot of racists or politically radical extremists which are widely exist and growing number in Europe and America they woudn't probably.

[@syncmaster915n]

Chinese made or Chinese brand? There is some difference there.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

@@syncmaster915n Exactly. Chinese made is not Chinese car necessarily. There are Chinese made Buicks. Chinese made Polestars. Chinese made Volvos. And there was a Chinese made Cadillac sold in North America for a time. There are also plenty Chinese made Teslas and in China, there are a lot of Western cars made in China. But a Chinese car is one designed/engineered by a home-grown Chinese company and doesn't necessarily even have to be made in China. At some point, Chinese cars may be made in other countries if they aren't already.

[@jzNottobee]

Volvo and Polestar are owned by Geely of China.

[@8Madda]

There's a growing market for Chinese cars in South Africa, GWM trucks, Haval, Chery and FAW heavy-duty trucks

[@TripBitten]

South Africa and Russia seem to be growing markets right now. But, I think the rest of Africa will also see the value of Chinese vehicles and start to import more in the future.

[@Tabula_Rasa1]

[@randomname931]

There are some good looking cars in this video. Nio would be #1 on my list.

[@DeBeard]

Speaking of automobile production n export, w/o any doubt, China is overtaking on left curves by investing heavily on ev cars development, battery innovations n building charging piles. That is making two of its big trade partners pretty upset, Germany n Japan, obviously the overtaking moved their cheese.

[@kelwang446]

So far MG has the best quality-price ratio. I like Zeekr the most though. NIO feels just too "German" to me. BTW, start-ups Xpeng and Li Auto also have imminent overseas expansion plans. "Huawei auto" AVATR is amongst the most exciting AI auto-pilot cars to keep a close eye on in the long run. And Xiaomi's MI car is coming... which means OPPO, VIVO, Oneplus, Meizu, ZTE, Lenovo gangs are the next on the horizon ? 😅

[@protagonist9716]

Also check Geely Baidu new Robocar. The competition is intense and large partnerships sometimes go under the radar

[@hongluong3427]

i wouldn't mind having a Chinese car, i've seen a few vids from barret and jason during the shanghai motor show and i think some of the cars will do pretty well since the cost is low AND its highly modifiable that people like.

[@TripBitten]

The auto show videos were very promising and I think we will see more quality cars from China in the near future.

[@a.a.alexander6030]

Your comment is odd and frankly incorrect. Since when are EV's modifiable? You cannot modify a battery pack. You cannot modify/tune an EV motor like you can gasoline engines. What are you talking about?

[@hongluong3427]

@a.a.alexander6030 what is stopping anyone modifying the appearance of the car? If you check out the motor show you'll see the same car with different interior and exterior, does modifying always mean under the hood

[@Vermilion2049]

I would only buy Chinese car going forward

[@billngo7197]

Hopes Chinese EV comes to N America

[@tialkr9071]

If the price value is good sure yes why not 👍💯

[@kelwang446]

The analogy to 80's Japanese cars' worldwide expansion is not entirely appropriate, IMO. Japanese cars then were still traditional internal combustion engine cars. They run on the same track as all other established Western brand competitors, and had no lead on core techs. Rather their expansion relied heavily on their production management niches(e.g. just-in-time inventory, cost management) , better quality control, and after-sales services. Chinese EVs however, are on an entirely brand-new racing track, where from the very beginning Chinese EVs have already been dominating on core tech (batteries) over the competitors. The current main obstacle for Chinese EVs expansion into the West and world is much more political and geopolitical (US-led world mainstream media bias against all things Chinese), rather than pure technical reasons the Japanese cars faced back then.

[@Warhead-Vun]

They are increasingly popular in malaysia, and more and more Chinese manufacturers are setting up shops here, my next car will be made in China for sure

[@laosasean8482]

I don't care if is made in China or US and etc.... as long as cheap and reliable I will buy it.

[@syncmaster915n]

I would buy a Chinese brand EV if it ever comes to Canada. But because of the political climate generally in North America, that's going to take some time, maybe a long time. The federal government talks about climate change a lot, but there is very little effort, and i mean concrete actions, to encourage buyers to switch to EVs from ICEs first of all, doesn't matter the country of origin. Range anxiety is till a thing in Canada, given the country is huge with sparsely populated. The current splash of EV and battery activities in Eastern Canada (Ontario) is not really geared towards Canadians but to keep up with the American markets. ie. EVs and batteries made in Canada would probably be shipped south to the US, as always have been and will always be. So, Canada, IMHO, is still nicely stuck in the 1990s level of technology development. I think we have found our comfort zone.

[@TripBitten]

Yes, it was like that in China a few years back, but the government gave a lot of incentives to buy EVs and develop the market. Now, they are leading the world. Sometimes, the governments need to take actions with the future in mind and not just protecting what they currently have....

[@WangJing66]

Canada’s cold weather should be very unfriendly to electric energy vehicles

[@xye-NYC]

According to the Electric Viking, the BYD Dolphin PHEV would be available in Mexico soon. PHEV is the current solution to range anxiety.

[@scottw4208]

Buy Volvo and Polestar

[@unifieddynasty]

I would buy a Chinese car, provided they have enough servicing locations here in North America and the American government gives them assurance to not get sanctioned. So sadly, the chances are slim.

[@TripBitten]

Sadly... I agree with you. The chances for Chinese brands to sold in the North America seem slim.

[@leoy4186]

I would if it is available in US.

[@TripBitten]

Sadly, I don't see that happening in the near future.

[@lepinearbres5299]

I love NIO.

[@RochusMr]

Their EVs look amazing. The prices also seem friendlier. The issue then goes to parts if they break for customers in far markets like Africa. And also the availability of charging stations. All these things I know they have a plan for. I would buy a Chinese car, most definitely

[@TripBitten]

Yes, after market parts will be a big issue, but just like with Japanese cars, I think it will become easier to obtain with time.

[@tajjeedeen9029]

Yes, I will buy a Chinese Car as they just as good as German or American cars. Thank you for the insightful presentation.

[@hegemonersmith1048]

I am thinking seriously about buying an EV in the next year. It will almost certainly be Chinese, based on value-for-money and consideration of the very good quality of Chinese brands available in Australia such as BYD and MG. Geopolitical factors completely preclude me from buying an American brand such as Tesla (even though made in China), because of the appalling treatment of China by the US government started by the Trump administration and continued by the Biden administration -- I will let my money do the talking. I also don't like the EU's sudden hostility towards Chinese EVs either with their false claims of 'dumping' of Chinese EVs in Europe. In fact, the prices of Chinese EVs in Europe are significantly higher than the corresponding prices in China.

[@Tim-turbo-o]

In countries with insufficient charging facilities, BYD’s plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are recommended, which have the speed of electric vehicles and the ability to quickly refuel fuel vehicles, with high mileage and low fuel consumption. A bridge car consumes 3.9L of fuel for 100KM, and an SUV consumes 4.9L of fuel for 100KM.

[@TripBitten]

The hybrid cars are good for locations that don't have a lot of charging stations. I think a lot of people will choose that option if they are concerned about stations.

[@t8polestarcyan22]

I'm looking forward getting myself a MG 4.

[@EkantBhairab]

Here in Nepal i bought a BYD Atto 3 which is a best selling cars here and it's fantastic ❤ love China 🇨🇳

[@s.c8410]

Since US auto companies (maybe except Tesla) cannot compete in EV, Chinese EV cars will be blocked from the US market. Don't expect to see cheap Chinese EVs in the US for a while.

[@peekaboopeekaboo1165]

I doubt American car makers are the ones calling for barring Chinese EVs ... more likely to come from the U.$. government.

[@LW78321]

Exactly, if they can't beat their competition, then smear their reputation/sanction/block them

[@DeBeard]

Crazy Woman (nickname given by Alex Christoforou of Duran), Ursula Von Der Leyen most recently declared: 'We gotta prevent China dumping their CHEAP ev cars into our market.' Wait…is that THE EU leader who escorted Marcron visiting China two months ago n awkwardly left airport of Beijing through a non-diplomat exit?😅

[@TripBitten]

lol Yes the same woman and it seems they are wanting to stop "dumping" of Chinese EVs into EU.

[@dukeloo]

@@TripBittenWhat's dumping? If your cost are lower that's not dumping.

[@TripBitten]

Anytime they get overwhelmed by products from another country they claim "dumping", but if the product is selling, it means the consumer wants it. But the WTO does have laws about "dumping" so they always fall back on that if they can't compete.

[@Aurelius150CE]

I am in the states and yes I would consider buying a Chinese made car. This would require what I do before any car purchase, lot's of research in reliability and durability. Back in 2019 pre pandemic I was pretty excited about the ORA Good Cat since there were articles about them starting a dealer network in the states. The info I was able to find indicated a solid well built car with a standard battery density that enabled a range of 220 miles. Sadly the pandemic happened and that was the last I heard of it coming here. The batteries in most of the U.S. made cars come from China anyway and Tesla who makes there own batteries have more battery fires than all the others combined and never mind the suspension collapse issue they have. I will always have a ICE vehicle but a electric for short trips and around town is enticing if well built and engineered.

Main two Chinese cars here in Australia are Great Wall (Haval) and MG. Cherry was here a few years back, but the models they had here were absolute garbage. I would not buy as I cannot afford new and expect any car I buy to last 15 years. I would suggest that if you want either of these go for lease and trade up just before warranty expires. They would probably be more popular here but trade tensions between China/Australia have put some potential buyers off.

[@TripBitten]

Some people like the LED screens and think it makes the car more high-tech. But, I can understand why some would want a simpler design. I think it just comes down to each person. Luckily with many of these EVs they can be customized, which means you might be able to find one with fewer LED screens or it could be changed.

[@guillotineblade999]

Products made by reputable Chinese company is most likely realiable and trustworthy in quality and price. What I don't have confidence in is American and European products (in general) made in foreign counturies (in gerneal: American, European companies producing or contracting foreign companies to manufacture things.) That's when things have a tendency to be poor in quality and unreliable. It's just how U.S and Europe and companies work (even for things manufactured at home, Boeing is a current prime example.)
