Why Chinese-made cars are becoming so common on Australia's roads

The rapid rise of Chinese electric vehicles has been met with resistance in the US and Europe. So why are Australians buying them at record levels?

    Well, I feel misled. The graphic shows a Volvo as a Chinese manufactured vehicle.

    Sales of Chinese made EVs in Australia

    • Tesla - 46,116
    • BYD - 12,438
    • MG - 5,928
    • Volvo - 3,949

    They’re counting Tesla as a Chinese EV.

        In China. But the majority of Teslas are manufactured are in China, and no one really considers Teslas “Chinese cars” or “Chinese EVs”.

            Doesn’t stop it from being misleading.

            It’s called “burying the lede”.

      Still, the BYD figure is nothing to be scoffed at.
