npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) I think people assumed that Chinese cars would be poor quality, as that's their (misinformed) view of Chinese products. So brands haven't managed to get a foothold.
But the incumbent car brands have dragged their feet on BEVs. They've made them premium price to try to claw back the cost of changing their business. Chinese brands haven't had that baggage or needed the decades of expertise around ICEs to make a new car. They've got good products and the consumer is taking notice.
