Chinese giant Chery could build cars in UK (www.bbc.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/17181927

Chinese car giant Chery is weighing up the possibility of building cars in the UK, according to a senior executive.

Its UK head Victor Zhang told the BBC it was a "matter of time" before the company made a final decision.

He said Chery, which is already preparing to build cars in Spain, was determined to take a "localised" approach to the European market.

...

Chery, which was set up in 1997, is one of China’s largest car companies. It is already the country’s biggest exporter of vehicles, but has ambitious plans to expand further.

To help take that plan forward, it has set up two new brands focused entirely on the international market, Omoda and Jaecoo.

Last month, Omoda was officially launched in the UK. It has begun selling a mainstream SUV, the Omoda 5, in both electric and petrol-powered versions.

It has built a network of 60 dealerships, and hopes to have more than 100 here by the end of the year.

But it is far from the only Chinese manufacturer to see the British market as potentially lucrative.

BYD, which has been vying with Tesla for the title of the world's biggest manufacturer of electric cars, has also opened dozens of dealerships here.

SAIC is already well-established in the UK, selling cars under the classic British MG marque.

We have already seen market dominance with solar panels from China over the past decade. While prices are still consistently trending downward. This decline can largely be attributed to the intense competition among numerous manufacturers in China.

The same logic can be applied to Chinese EV manufacturers.

In contrast, other countries typically at best have only have a couple of EV manufacturers, often receiving substantial government protection akin to a helicopter parent. This lack of competition keep prices higher.

In the US perhaps. In other countries people either choose Tesla for its charging network & software or Chinese EVs for LFP batteries & value. Korean cars can't find a niche.

From my understanding its mostly legacy automakers that are unable to sell EVs effectively. However EV sales overall are up from EV manufacturers like Tesla & BYD etc.
