August 2025 was the first month in which four Chinese brands made Australia's Top 10. Over the last twelve months, BYD has dethroned Tesla as Australia's #1 NEV brand and China has surpassed Thailand as Australia's #2 source of vehicles. It remains to be seen which milestone will come next: a Chinese brand cracking Australia's Top 5, or China displacing Japan as the single-largest source of Australian vehicles.
Chery's rapid success is particularly notable given that they have now spun off Omoda Jaecoo as a separate brand.
BYD Shark 6 is still going strong at 1261 vehicles sold for the month, but it's worth noting that it actually hasn't been BYD's top-seller here these past couple of months, that honour going to Sealion 7.

Yes but NEV share of sales is increasing way faster than their ICE share. So i think they should be fine, though i think they need to accelerate even faster in NEV transition.
Is panasonic not Japanese or korean? Thought they were japanese.
Wow...great come back. Im really impressed by Cherys prowess, especially outside China. They are probably the most sucessful chinese car company outside China only BYD comes close to matching or surpassing them overseas. Curiously people don't really talk about them much unlike they do with other chinese car companies like BYD, Xpeng, Xiaomi, leapmotor or even SAIC etc etc.
Capital equipment for manufacturing, research, development, and engineering all undergo depreciation as well. That includes any robotics used in manufacturing, which presumably there is a lot of. This stuff all typically takes 8-10 years to fully depreciate.
I can't speak to the accuracy of that regarding the EV industry, but yes, it is not uncommon in other industries for equipment to start being replaced and decommissioned around the 6 or 7 year mark. It really depends mostly on how quickly the technology in that industry is advancing. And in other cases, how long the suppliers are willing to continue providing support for it.
Bad news guys.
I'm not sure if I can post this here but this thread seems to be about Chinese EV so I'm speaking here.
My dad's Chinese EV Omoda C5 just broke down today. It broke down while being driven by my mom on the road. Thankfully, she was driving it on the left lane so she parked it next to the sidewalk.
The time when the vehicle broke down was during a heavy rain, although no flooding from what I saw when I got to where the Omoda was.
It has already been sent back for repair, but this incident pretty much made my dad put a break on purchasing EVs for a while. I just hope this will be the only time it broke down.
