Well, Chery is still among the biggest car group in China, and they have also dived into EV platforms and have decent brands like Jetour, Omoda, Exeed. I agree they are not the most competitive aong other Chinese EV brands, but at least i thought they will still be up there among the top 15 at least. Surprised they dont even figure when legacy brands (who people say have missed the EV transition) like Mercedes, BMW, Toyota, stellantis, etc etc are still among the top EV brands. So i expected Chery to do better. At this rate their long term survival this coming decade itself might be in jeopardy then.
As for VW EVs, i haven't personally driven one, but the fa ct that they are dominating the European market must mean that they are not that bad, else consumers have a wide variety of choices to choose from(including chinese brands). So as i said, they are still in the game. We shouldn't cll off the game prematurely, i believe this is just the beginnining, there is still a long way to go to be able to tell who will be the winners at the end. Look at BYD who looked unbeatable in China just a yar or 2 ago, now Geely has eaten into their market share, and might even unseat them as the number EV brand in China and the world if they continue as this rate(BYD sales have not grown as much, and sometimes even declined compared to last year). So, nobody knows tomorrow. We can only predict and wait and see how this predictions play out in reality.
