Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Chinese EVs cheaper?
Vertical integration (BYD makes own batteries + chips), ~30% cheaper labor, government subsidies + scale. Same battery tech for $5K less per car. EU tariffs (17-38% on China EVs since 2024) close gap somewhat.
Software comparison?
Chinese EVs (BYD, NIO, XPeng) lead in OTA updates, voice control, AI features. EU OEMs catching up but lag 1-2 years. Tesla still best software overall.
Service network in EU?
BYD opened 230 EU dealers by 2026. NIO has battery-swap stations + lounges. Smaller brands rely on partners. Long-term parts availability for Chinese brands = open question.
