BEVs that international automakers sell in China, but don’t want to offer you

If you ever had the suspicion that there are BEVs that international automakers sell in China but don’t want to offer to those of us in other markets, well … you were right.
China is currently the epicentre of the global EV revolution, representing 60% of the world’s plugin vehicle sales in 2023.
It’s also by far the most price-competitive plugin vehicle market, with BEVs, PHEVs, and EREVs (BEVs with a range-extender generator) already competing on price with traditional combustion vehicles across most segments of the auto market.

Thanks Max, you sum up the situation extremely well.

Electric vehicles outside the Chinese market are grossly overpriced due to the greed of car manufacturers and the ignorance and/or corruption of policy makers.

Now that we have module-less and cobalt-free batteries costing around 50 euros per kWh, EVs are actually cheaper to produce than their gas counterparts.

Hopefully by 2026, BYD will be producing electric cars in Europe that are priced reasonably.

Thanks Lituatui, yes the continuing battery learnings have brought us to a point where BEVs across almost all segments can now be made at least as inexpensively as gas counterparts. Even in the economy segments.
Let's see what kind of barriers the European elites try to thrown in the path of BYD and others attempting to produce in Europe. Once there is true competition on BEV pricing in Europe, the transition will accelerate to close to the speed it is moving in China.

I agree, once China/Asia have a +70% market share, Europe will bee flooded with cheap BEVs, and politics are only delaying the inevitable (European manufacturers and politicians know this, they are only milking the cow a little more).

I was expecting to see the invasion by 2025, but maybe it will be a little longer (2026/27?)...

In the meantime, newer and better models will be introduced by BYD and others... I'm still convinced that in 2031 I'll be able to get a good deal 😃
