    In my opinion, there are various reasons why we should avoid technology from China.

    This country is not friendly towards Europe.

    It’s better to buy European.

    The second-hand market is already looking quite good.

      Sorry. From the looks of it European manufacturers aren’t friendly towards Europe either 😀

    I’m conflicted. I want to get an EV, but I don’t want to pay European prices.

    A BYD Dolphin with local production and maintenance sounds more affordable than VW id.3 (starting from 33.000€). On the other hand there are Opel Corsa Electric (starting from 30.000€) and Renault 5 (starting from 28.000€) in the same segment. Renault 5 excelling in many aspects and Renault deserves some respect for being early movers/adaptors.

    The current market situation (in Germany) is trash…
