What's wrong with Chinese offerings, don't they offer far better value?

This community is called buyFromEU after all.

European affordable EVs are quite competitive with Chinese offerings from what I've seen.

I exclude Chinese EVs for two reasons:

  • I don't know all the offerings from Chinese brands in Europe. Fairly certain it's mostly only BYD right now?
  • I consider the Chinese cars industry a threat to the European car industry to a far larger degree than brands like Toyota or Hyundai, and I think it is important that the our domestic industry stays alive.
