Well, I feel misled. The graphic shows a Volvo as a Chinese manufactured vehicle.
Sales of Chinese made EVs in Australia
- Tesla - 46,116
- BYD - 12,438
- MG - 5,928
- Volvo - 3,949
They’re counting Tesla as a Chinese EV.
Australia’s car manufacturing industry is basically non-existent, they import almost all of them. The EU and US have huge manufacturing bases they’re trying to protect
America: “it’s fine when corporations move manufacturing to China and sell back home for a huge profit… But it’s not okay for China to sell their manufactured goods in the USA”
If EU manufacturers didn’t charge 35k for a car that barely fits 3 people, we wouldn’t need to turn to these chinese cars.
If China gave them away for free, the Sinophobes would probably still complain.
I imagine there’s a few things above sinophobia for the average car buyer. Just a few.
