BYD is getting around EU tariffs on BEVs by assembling in Thailand.

China’s BYD has started shipping Thai-made vehicles to Europe for the first time. Over 900 units of BYD Dolphin set sail to Germany, Belgium and the UK, the company announced Monday. The first batch of Dolphins left Thailand aboard BYD’s own vessel BYD Zhengzhou. This is the first time Zhengzhou has sailed from Thailand to Europe. The Rayong-based CKD factory, which began operations in July 2024, is BYD’s first fully-owned passenger car plant outside of China. With an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles, the site serves both the local Thai market and overseas exports.

SAIC might also be igniting a price war now.

After launching the Huawei-SAIC Shangjie H5 for 16.98w a couple days ago

They launched MG4 today, with 437km of range for just 6.58w. This is a good price amd I think this will steal some sales away from Geely Xingyuan, Wuling Mini and BYD Dolphin/Seagull

SAIC produces the following mid-size SUV models before H5:

荣威RX5 MAX12.98-16.58
荣威 eRX5 MAX(插混)15.28-18.88
智己LS6 灵蜥智驾版23.99-30.29
上汽大众途观L出众款18.68-21.70
上汽大众途观L PHEV26.08-27.08
上汽通用别克昂科威Plus‌16.99万起
上汽通用凯迪拉克XT535.27-45.27
上汽奥迪Q5 e-tron29.85-43.25

Now look at 尚界 H5 with 2 models from 16.98万 up to 20.98万. The biggest differentiation is ADS4. So a loaded H5 is likely going out at RMB200K. I can bet my paycheck that SAIC 尚界 is going to be the volume leader in HIMA. The rumor says 尚界 is replacing 智己 in SAIC lineups. And that is one of the reasons why 尚界 H5 is coming out in such a short period of time. Also since 智己 already has mid-size sedan L6 priced from 20.49万元 to 26.49万元‌, it would not take too much time for 尚界 to push out a class B sedan model priced around 150K. Those two models, loaded H5 at 200K and sedan at 150K, would put SAIC right back into the NEV race.

Lol Let's see if the chinese government will intervene again if this starts another round of the never ending price wars, especislly just when their efforts of stopping the endless cycle of price wars started finally bearing fruits. Lol

China’s EV industry is spending more on factories abroad than at home for the first time​

Its normal to be honest. China's market is getting saturated and too price sensitive/competitive especally with such low prices due to intense price wars. So EV companies can have better profit margins by investing more abroad and making/selling their cars overseas. Even if i was a manager of a EV conpany i will also do the same. Afterall its business, and so profit margins also matters to keep your business viable,sustainable and competitive in the long term since you need to keep reinvesting in R&D, branding , marketing, productivity etc.

Unreal lol. And yeah, Dreame and Roborock make good robot vacuums. I'm thinking of buying a premium model and giving my older one to my mom.

Maybe in a few years I can think about getting a car to match


:D
