I appreciate fully charged show demonstrating these vehicles, ultimately we all want to help towards the energy transition without breaking the bank. No matter where these vehicles are made, as the Mozilla foundations report last year demonstrated, there are some very serious privacy concerns with many EVs surrounding the collection and use of personal information. I understand in addressing this/discussing it on the show that there's the potential to scare/worry others about getting an EV which is against the transition goals. But, if we don't talk about it, regulatory change will only take longer and forwarned is forearmed for those looking to purchase an EV. Thank you

Speaking of technology. My sister has a new hybrid car. Almost a year now. No idea nor interest in how the cruise control works, nor what the B is for on the gear selector. Nor what the modes do or how to change them. And I suspect most people are like her. Way too many options that just confuse and get in the way of just getting in the car and going on the school run or going to th shops. So for a lot of people who just need a straight forward car for straight forward needs, it's going to appeal just fine.

The big issue with Cherry is that its driving character is a bit meh but most people don't care.

Chery is unique in the Chinese automotive industry in that they got into exporting cars years ago instead of focusing on the Chinese home market (or perhaps partially because Cherys are just not that competitive against their domestic competition at home) and currently is exporting a million cars a year. I think Chery might actually sell more cars abroad than they do inside China. So perhaps it is not surprising they are focused on launching their new cars internationally.

The car has all the real features we all need. 15.5 kWh/100km = 4 miles/kWh. WLTP range of 267 miles means 214 real range (~ -20%), meaning 182 miles of real practical range (100%-15% SoC) which gives you 3 hours of driving at 70 mph. My Ioniq 28 has a 88kW motor, so 120bhp, never seen it use more than 40/50kW 😂. No one needs a 150kW motor. If they had put 16inch wheels and lowered the car, they would have also reduced costs and improved efficiency. Regardless, this is a seriously good EV on paper.

Charger access at the front, where most crashes occur. It could be a very expensive repair for a minor front bump!

It’s wise to be cautious, and so called Legacy Auto (if it needs a name) are not resting on their laurels as far as I can see. They are however taking the long term strategic view IMO, and with all the hype that is going on currently are better served by a slower ramp up.

@ensteffo 2 месяца назад

Naturally legacy auto are better served by as slow as possible ramp up as they have billions invested in ice manufacturing equipment which would be a huge loss if they could not sell any more ice from their billions dollar investment which are not transferable to ev production.

@@ensteffo Many assumptions by us all. A few who are close to manufacturers would possibly know best. The rest is speculation, including my own thoughts on this. I think they are taking a little bit of time to have a really good look at the race to EV Nirvana, and without being cynical or with any hint of irony. Governments are concerned and consumers are befuddled. Concerns are valid. IMO apart from range, charging, stewardship of resources and stranded investments the current flavour of concerns is oversensitive ADAS. How did we get to the point so soon in the history of EVs? Also, few report on the missed opportunities of EVs to kickstart mobility options, and we are now seeing some so called legacy auto makers starting to dip a toe in the water regarding this. So far, other than concepts, that really has not happened yet IMO. The real disruption that new energy vehicles can bring to market are yet to begin. I don’t think it’s where we are right now, so the caution by established makers is warranted. Slowly, slowly and time to evolve.

@@damiendye6623 Until they catch hemorrhoids. Heat is a well recognised cause of catching hemorrhoids, as everyone knows. They can grow to the size of watermelons. In fact it is difficult to tell if they're sitting on a cushion or standing up. Sometimes it's difficult to tell if they're actually chimps, or not. All because of battery EVs. You won't hear Quentin admitting the above.

Ha ha ... yes, I only use the front seat heaters in mine about 3 times a year let alone rear seat heaters... because it's an EV so you warm the car before you get into it. Maybe he means they're essential in northern China or North America.

Not meant as Sinophobia … I own an MG4 … but this looks like the kind of car the Chinese industry was putting out 10-15 years ago. There are styling cues that are direct lifts from existing cars. But the most egregious steal is the brand name, and the styling of the brand name … OMODA … ŠKODA … they’ve even copied the horizontal lines bisecting parts of the letterforms.

@AJames-jr8kw 2 месяца назад

@kamsunleong6648 2 месяца назад

Skoda and Omoda are miles apart in similarity. Nit picking. If it's not Chinese, you wouldn't have any issue with the name.

@StepsOfStPhilips 2 месяца назад

@@kamsunleong6648 you got me on a mission to think of two car brands as similar as Omoda and Skoda. And there are two other brands I can think of with five letter names ending in DA … Mazda and Honda. But none ending in ODA. And when you take the cutouts in the letter forms into account, it’s hard NOT to draw comparisons. I think this is much closer than the Polestar/Citroën similarity. And you have shamed yourself by suggesting my comment is a slight on Chinese manufacturing in general. All countries entering the global automotive market - going back to the 1890s - start with a “copycat” strategy, before they find their own feet. And the Chinese industry has, on the whole, ditched this strategy and made amazing and unique cars since. Which is why Omoda strikes me as a peculiar throwback.

There's are still more expensive. Legacy manufacturers could build something like this, they just won't because they think they'll make more money building higher end machines.
