It is interesting to see that more and more Chinese automakers are moving into larger EV sedans, instead of just focusing on mini cars and minivans. The latest generation of batteries apparently good enough to propel the bigger and heavier vehicles around town safely and charged.

  1. An EV not exciting with no style and poor general performance.
    The range is still below the expectation of the people that need at least 400 to 500 km . After 8 years that EV like Tesla demonstrate that is possible to have exciting EV with high performance and long range, still these domestic automakers just make their home exercise to show compliance car to the government….no more of these EV please !!!
