Any thoughts on why Toyota and Honda don't export more of their China-made EVs to overseas markets? Eg the Toyota bZ3/5/7 or the Honda Ye/Lingxi? I feel like those models aren't going to be competitive in the Chinese market, but would sell reasonably abroad in places like Australia (where I live) where they have long established presence and can leverage their reputation + dealer networks.

As an example, the Chinese made Kia EV5 is selling really well here in Australia so far (1.5k units in 2025 YTD, 4th behind the two Tesla and the MG4), and I believe Mazda will plan to do the same with the EZ-6/EX-60.
