Their styling stands out, also there are things inherent to being from China i find more fascinating, especially not being the primary market to these vehicles, similar to 1980’s JDM vehicles have features inherent for it’s primary markets over our domestic products
On top of that, the Chinese manufacturers seem willing to add more creature comforts or (admittedly) useless features. It’s cheaper and made to a vision outside what my domestic market provides, and way more enticing than any EV i could think of now.
Probably the best part is cutting out dealers because they’ve put the domestic industry in a terrible position overcharging for every available make and model for sale, thinking that the market can hold the high prices they demand because they still think people still have spare cash from covid. Now their overstock inventory hasnt moved for some up to a half a year, and they’re trying to cut prices down because their stock is bought via financing, which I’ve recently learned “punishes” dealers if stock doesnt move after 3 months by shooting up the interest rates, lighting a fire under their ass.
This is a problem of their own making, and having a new competitor helps shake up these markets
Now if Peru entered the automotive market with something it would be interesting for other reasons, I know Peru doesnt have the industry to make EVs and i dont find it fruitful to think in these kinds of hypotheticals. Their needs would produce a different kind of vehicle entirely
Mostly because CATL is the largest battery maker in the world, China has way less expensive EVs than anywhere else. You can get a solid range EV with tons of nice cutting edge features, and it still costs less than just about any competitive offering. This year’s cool new feature is headlights that are digital projectors, so vehicles are mobile drive-in movie theaters now.

Which country is producing EVs that cost less than $10k?

No, they really do care.
It happened with the Japanese automakers, and it is happening worldwide with Chinese automakers right now.
And it’s every industry. Not just auto.
Nobody buys American cars unless they are doing it out of patriotism. There is no objective reason to buy a Ford over a Toyota.
If the identical product is made in Peru, people will prefer to buy the Chinese product.
If the product is made for cheaper in Peru, people will still prefer to buy the Chinese product.
It really does not take much critical thought to arrive at this conclusion.
Go ahead, stay in your bubble. It benefits me more anyway.
Chinese only please. Less fed spyware.
no, i specifically want the Chinese stuff.
it’s intriguing to me

Shit’s way cheaper. And I am curious about their cars, nothing wrong with that.

Turn on my high beam yellow Parenti on the family assault vehicle that just cut me off.
