Luckily the US feels the same hence why there are 0 Chinese cars sold here.
 
I think that the BYD Seagull looks very interesting, the designer used to work for Lamborghini, and it is likely to start from about £10,000 when it gets to the UK next year. This will really shake up the EV market in Europe but BYD seem to be concentrating on the high end, Model S like Han, in the USA.

It will also have a sodium battery, which is relatively revolutionary. It’s part of the reason why BYD has significant cost advantages over all BEV manufacturers

BYD is the world's second-largest power battery maker, with a 16 percent share of 58.1 GWh installed in January through July, according to South Korean market researcher SNE Research.

CATL continued to be the world's No. 1 power battery maker with a 36.6 percent share of the 132.9 GWh installed from January to July.

BYD installed about 14.348 GWh of power and energy storage batteries in September, up 66.64 percent from 8.610 GWh in the same month last year, and up 3.02 percent from 13.928 GWh in August, according to data released by the company earlier this month.

 
Between October 1 and October 22, a total of 162,200 BYD vehicles were registered for insurance in China.
BYD's premium brand Denza was at 2,200 units last week, unchanged from the previous week.

Between October 1 and October 22, a total of 16,500 Tesla vehicles were registered for insurance in China.

 
I saw this car at a truckstop in Canada today. I assume it's one of the China built cars. It looks like Tesla is trying harder to compete with the BYD Seagull.
