They’re not even that cheap. I am unfortunately in the market for a car and as much as I’d like one of these mythical cheap Chinese EVs, they don’t exist in Europe.
They’re not cheap in Europe because of import and export tarrifs along with additional taxes that China and your country collect. The cars are relatively cheap for Chinese consumers.
If it is sold cheaply, the EU will be very angry。Of course, cars should not be that expensive.
The EU is already very angry, but I have yet to see a Chinese EV available for less than a European one, and Tesla is probably the cheapest. At this point the Chinese or other new Asian EV manufacturers are only selling their top of the line models in Europe if any at all.
Here’s looking forward to a century and millennia onwards of impotent, bitter EU rage! And I hope after China, next comes perhaps India, or all the other countries the Euros have brutalized for so long… the EU had best get used to not second, not third, but eventually hopefully even last place (along with the US).
