China EV sales in Europe

If you somehow missed it.....

Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) have continued to make inroads into Western European markets in the first five months of this year according to data from Schmidt Automotive Research. It found that sales of EV rose 14.2% year-on-year, reaching 171,800 EVs sold to European consumers, with Italy and the UK (which is outside the continent’s dominant EU trading bloc) among the leading purchasers of Chinese EV exports.

EV’s are ubiquitious in France. hybrids are extremely popular. I think, in part, due to the lack of charging infrastructure. You don’t have to worry about where to plug in.. or even, where can I find the nonexistent charger.  Overall, the Chinese make some very nice vehicles. Passenger comfort and styling is generally superior, and vastly more affordable, than American car manufacturers.
