This article is very biased.
Chinese cars are in no way a threat to Volkswagen and especially not a life or death situation.
They are cheap and they are many. That’s it. Tesla and other carmakers did EVs slow and steady and china subsidized like hell and is trying to flood markets.
Just like every other easy to build technology. Find thing, make thing flood market with cheap versions and less cost.

The German car makers are loosing in the EV war in China, due to too high cost. Especially Volkswagen is among the best in terms of EVs, Europe has to offer. I am sorry, but same specs with half the price is a really good selling point. With subsidies that is very much possible.

German cars in europe are losing the EV war in Europe because of high costs. China can just throw cars below ID3 prices onto the market and it’s gonna look like a good deal. Chinese cars also don’t have to follow any data protection laws in their software. If VW is the best European EV I can’t say as I’ve not driven anything but VW, BYD and Nio.

Did you see how terrible the recent privacy results were for European and US car manufacturers? What extra metrics can the Chinese cars gather?

No i did not. Feel free to share. I can only find shitty articles that read like buzzfeed
