In an interview, the German chancellor said he believes the ban is 'wrong,' as Germany's auto giants struggle to stay competitive against Chinese electric carmakers.
German automotive is learning, and excelling. Porsche and Mercedes have huge electric programs, and outshine everyone else in the west. Especially at self-driving, they have the only full self driving cars, which Tesla cannot replicate.
So, they’re lying. Common sense check? China’s cars are better than Germany’s. Yeah, that’s bullshit.
Doesn’t matter if you have to pay 100.000 Euros for such a car and you can get a china one for 35.000… people vote with their wallet and fact is, not many have that much money laying around
there’s now plenty of European EVs around the €20 000 mark that are good enough, same as the Chinese.
There’s going to be plenty of Chinese cars in Europe, same as Japanese or Korean, but this notion peddled by some people that the European brands are going to disappear is just moronic.
You can get here a Renault 5 for €16 726 right now, although that’s a special offer and will go back to 20 something soon enough.You also have the eC3 which is selling for €19 654 right now.
The Spring is a rebadged Chinese car. There are no 20k€ electric cars brand new that are built in Europe. Renault plans to sell the cheaper version of the Renault 5 for more.
