I rarely see 100 kW+ charger in Canada. Most of the time I see ~50kW output.
I only have a PHEV because I gave up on waiting for full EV (Hyundai said 2 year wait for either GV60 or Ioniq). Quickest I could get would have been 1 month for Mustang Mach-E Performance, but a little pricey and still needed to wait vs. the PHEV.
The other issue I have with charger is the totally wacky pricing for ones that are not free. Sometimes the cost is more than gasoline, what is the point then? Swap station should in theory be more standardized than that.
While Polestar seems to be on the right track, Geely has been promising to turn London Black Cabs into EV powerhouse since 2017, still hasn't happened. Problem with Geely that I see is that their engineering resources is not shared amongst each other as efficiently as Volkswagen, GM, or Toyota.
The mainstream CMA platform (hybrid and EV) was introduced on Volvo XC40 in 2017, but only got to mainline Geely by 2019, but got to Lynk before that. Now you also have Zeekr, Proton, Lotus in the mix since then. Maybe they will have it all sorted out when their SEA platform cars are unveiled.
Yeah, another bizarre thing in Canada is that EV chargers charge by the TIME spent using them, not the amount of electricity provided! The reason being, there's some law that says only energy companies are allowed to sell electricity, so they get around it by technically not selling electricity but the time spent using the station. This gives rise to what might be a conflict of interest where EV charging station owners have little incentive to fix the chargers if they are putting out less power than they are capable of because they actually get more money out of people who have to charge for longer!

BYD needs to have enough capacity for replacing toyota sales worldwide.
Chinese buses arriving in Ulan Bator. Makes sense for them to take over these markets
As expected, the export to Russia of passenger vehicles, trucks and busses are we up too. I expect this to be a lot higher in 2023 once Chinese automakers grow their presence and local factories in Russia.

I wouldn’t be so optimistic about Russian market, their consumption capacity is limited and would definitely be worse in 2023, most of them are living in an ice maker so BEV/EREV isn’t really a good choice for most people which happened to be the strong point of Chinese automakers , something like DMI/DHT would be nice but Russians are very conservative about new things when it comes to the automobile products.
I think the market share would definitely rise a little bit( maybe 5-10%?), but the actual quantity wouldn’t increase that much (I guess they would buy less vehicles in 2023, and importing much more used Japanese cars)

Plus , due to unreasonable tax and weird market order, Chinese cars are in fact incredibly expensive there, I don’t know if that applies to Japanese/Korean cars but definitely not good news, Geely and Chery definitely should do something to exert pressure to dealers and the Belarusian company
Some tease of Huawei AITO M9 to be released later this year. 500k SUV. That's going to be a competitive market.
