BYD will present its car on the market in Europe on September 28

The Chinese threat to the European market will become more visible than ever in a few weeks when the BYD and NIO presentations take place, which will hold two events where they will present their ranges of electric cars for Europe.

The first to hit will be BYD, which will present its European range on September 28 at an event that will be held online and where the arrival of the Chinese group in our market will be confirmed.

A landing where confirmation is expected that the electric family for sale in the old continent will be made up of the Tang, Han, and Yuan Plus models, which in our market will be called Atto 3.

During this event, in addition to the models that will make up the range, we will also learn about their characteristics as well as prices and arrival dates. An arrival that the distributor for the United Kingdom has leaked that will happen before the end of this year.

NIO in Berlin on October 7

NIO Berlin

NIO, for its part, has chosen to hold a physical event that will take place in the German capital. From Berlin, the Chinese brand will also show the steps it will follow in its international expansion that will lead it to have a presence in different European markets.

At the moment we do not know what will be presented, but everything indicates that during the event, NIO will take the opportunity to confirm the arrival in our market of the ET7 sedan, which will be officially presented to European consumers at the event. A model that will compete against the large German sedans, and that will arrive with batteries of between 70 kWh (500 km CLTC), 100 kWh (700 km CLTC), and 150 kWh, with its 1,000 km of CLTC autonomy.

The Chinese invasion

These two announcements represent the official confirmation of the start, or restart, of the implementation of two of the most powerful brands at the moment within the electric car sector. Some groups have evolved substantially in the last two years, and have achieved a level of maturity both in design, technique, and software, as well as more easily overcoming the lack of components, which results in some fearsome competitors for the European groups.

BYD

Of course, a lot of work remains to be done from the point of view of expanding the commercial and after-sales network. A very intense job that will take months or years to complete and that will require a significant investment.

It also remains to be seen how the European public reacts to Chinese brands. Especially considering that neither BYD nor NIO are in the low-cost segments. Something that will lead them to compete in higher price segments where the image is a very important part of the customer’s decision.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
