    The worst thing is how even ‘European brands’ like Volvo (in the article’s introduction) and Smart are technically Chinese brands.

    There’s very little choice left already. And then there’s the debate on whether you want to own a Musk-controlled alternative.

      Also, do you want an SUV? No? Then there’s also very little choice except Musk cars or Chinese cars

        Third, if you’ve experienced several major failures on a Stellantis EV and want another power train… Only half of what was left is still there to choose from. The west needs to step up their game.

        I find it interesting by the way, that the Venn diagram of people who care about the environment and people who don’t care about China has such a large overlap.
