Why don't they release a smaller car? Are they scared of BYD?
They have a leader that's distracted with other ventures and continues to believe the Tesla brand will win.
this is kind of interesting. With the development of these Hydrogen corridors, we might see hydrogen power commercial vehicles have stronger potential. After all, long range buses and trucks are still limited by battery pack and needing to recharge overnight.
Battery systems/software come to mind as the few systems that requires intense RnD/infrastructure for EVs compared to ICE cars, if behemoths like BYD are willing to share it would lower the cost of entry, since they would also be able to share maintenance network.
Robosense with new Lidar coming onto the market. Would not be surprised if this ends up on BYD cars. It's really amazing to see how much commercial grade sensors have improved. I'd imagine a lot of this technology get adapted for military use in the future.

They probably will build less expensive models in the Mexican plant. However, by the time the Mexican plant becomes operational, sodium battery and LMFP battery probably will be widely available for Chines EVs and Chinese EVs will remain competitive.
NIO really wants to make batteries and become a more vertically integrated company.
Geely's sub-brand Lynk & Co is planning to enter the US market. They sold 28,000 cars in Europe in 2022.
This is a great sight to see, look at all the prototypes. I would recommend browsing through her entire thread on this. And yes, she is in Shenzhen right now.
Damn, 3 new sedans?
How much does it cost?
A hilarious video introducing the bZ3. Lets see how the bZ3 sells, Toyota really need it to do well since the bz4x did terrible.
