At the Beijing Auto Show, five best-selling Chinese EVs, including models from Geely, Wuling, and BYD, start under $12,000 each.
For the average US new car price of $51,456, Chinese consumers can buy all five EVs, reflecting hypercompetition and over 200 battery-powered models under $25,000 in China.
These affordable EVs, some with advanced features and ranges up to 314 miles, are not available in the US market and highlight China’s rapid electric vehicle innovation and market expansion.
