They aim to conquer a European market undergoing rapid change, thanks in part to the subsidies available in several countries for the purchase of electric vehicles.

"Green" parties force the government to pay massaive EV subsidies. Then most of it will go directly to fund China. None of it helps the "environment," since nothing is more environmentally destructive than the mining for battery parts for an EV vehicle.

aka “transferring slices of Europe’s dwindling wealth to China”. What a great idea, EU. You folks are brilliant.

Maybe the EV fad is over in Europe like it is in the U.S.

Maybe people are too broke to buy a car, either EV or gas.

Maybe people are uncomfortable buying new assets that might get damaged in a possible WW3.

Maybe all of the above.

Chinese cars. What could go wrong?

Just because they're flooding the market with these cheap cars doesn't mean they're a decent bargain in the end.

Just like dumping steel, the chicoms are now dumping autos in order to corner the market on at least the EV’s.

Can't wait to see these POS’s show up in the states. That should make for some interesting “highlights”.

It’s always good for batteries to sit unused near salt water.

That morning, as the sun unexpectedly lit up the maze of highways leading to this remote arm of the port of Antwerp, Belgium,

What? Do they not normally get the sun every morning in Belgium...?
