Climate change, while not saying that it is not happening; has been abused by the developed West as a mean to further burden the development of developing and under developed countries. Now that the developed West find itself way behind on the climate change amelioration process, it is starting to back away from their proclaimed climate change agenda.
Many in the West has not accepted the reality "China is busily building industrial capacity and making friends" while USA is busy threatening and invading other countries to get subservience. EU is tagging along with USA hoping to get some war spoils.
Hi Sam, new Australian follower here! Great work and yep totally get the generally bullish market nature of new EV car content. However can you contrast this with content or analysis re what you're seeing in the battery life/cycles/replacement reliability and resale value space etc i.e. yep great, buy a cheaper Chinese or US car now, however what is that Capex vs car depreciation and maintenance gonna look like in 5 years etc? Apologies if I've missed this before being new. Keep up the great work
Saw Lynk & Co showroom next to Lotus on Egypt and a Zeekr large coupe like SUV in Cairo. Even saw a Cadillac Lyriq . Last year I only saw one electric car there, a Tesla model Y, this month nearly 40. Most being Chinese, BYD (which has been in Egypt more than 10 years), Geeley group etc. MG I was told had signed an agreement to manufacture cars in Egypt. I didn’t see any DC chargers while there. The world is changing. Keep up the great work Sam!
Looking forward to to these cars arriving into the UK but the Government has plans to put tariffs on them making the legacy car companies NOT go bankrupt however this makes the imported Chinees car more unaffordable to the average person which defeats the GO ELECTRIC in cars as as ICE on the road today are going to be worth zero so we will be penalised let’s hope they get round these Tariffs I rented a Link & Co X5 style 18 months ago in France just Superb.Keep up your great Videos 👍
My mate works at Geely and one of the few expats to be there especially during COVID and he is expecting some big things from them over time , you mentioned Merc, the Geely acquisition of Daimler stake was done in a non transparent way by using shell companies and derivatives across various jurisdictions ending up with about 10% , Geely was keen on Daimlers tech at that time .
It's just like World War II. Things looked grim initially for the Chinese, but ultimately, the Japanese ended up getting a thorough ass whooping as the Chinese emerged victorious.
Not a very clear parallel ……. Japan were learning chemical warfare on southern Chinese villages just prior to WW2. The Chinese were a little lost at that point. Then the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour - that cost Japan two atomic bombs and unconditional surrender. America poleaxed Japan. Only then we’re China free to move forward again in the world.
The EU cannot afford to have their autmobile businesses going bust because of the resulting huge job losses. IMHO tariffs will be put in place to prevent Chinese EVs entering the market in significant numbers. Because the land is sunbathed most of the year, Australia will probably go Chinese full throttle.
Viking, hi, if I were you, I would devote more time to Elon Musk's companies and stop criticizing him, because it was Elon Musk who became the impetus for change in the automotive industry. Without Ilona, the whole world would have exploited internal combustion engine technology for another hundred years, hindering innovation. Elon is the one who deserves respect in the first place. And humanoid robots will become available to a wide audience only thanks to Tesla Optimus, other companies will not be able to scale production so much! China has no ideas of its own, they blatantly copy everything. China is plagiarism, even if it is more accessible and cheaper, but it is plagiarism.
Pre-ordered an EX30 and cancelled it when software gremlins delayed shipments to the USA, then tariffs kicked in and killed the USA launch, then? Now full steam ahead. Maybe Volvo will start building this platform in the USA instead of large ICE/hybrid SUVs. 80K/150k post covid truck and SUV sales created a sucker hole, that many legacy car companies may not recover from.
A quick Internet search reveals that half of Geely's sales are ICE vehicles, with the remainder EVs and Hybrids, the breakdown of the latter two are all over the map. I didn't have time for a deep dive to ferret out the truth, which is never easy when it comes to Chinese automakers, and believe me you dig down you'll find all sorts of incongruous numbers and claims. So I wouldn't paint them as a world beating EV company just yet. Not by a long shot.
Yes, him just saying that EV sales are up 93% is meaningless without sticking numbers onto that. If they sold, say, 10,000 EVs in 2023 then a 93% increase on that isn’t worth mentioning. Also what is the source?
their strength is owning all these other brands; volvocars, zeekr, polestar, .... Geeley will be able to bypass the tariffs' war by local manufactoring.
When you have a communist regime dictating you have to do what it dictates , hope you have seen the videos of explosions at houses , roads in China even Porsche are advising owners of taycans not to park / charge them by houses in case of fire, jaguar in panic over the f-pace and China the house of cheapness 🤔
is inflation that high in the USA that they can only hire low quality shit-poster like this one? CIA is getting their 1.6b USD's worth with low quality China Observer trolls. while 50 cents for the CCP can hire STEM grads to do quality shit-posting.
Another Hindian troll living in a slum of Hindia, the world's biggest democracy. Chinese EVs are selling better in Hindia than its own Tata EVs, there must be good reasons.
Geely really makes beautiful cars.
Last year I bought a ZEEKR 001, I am happy to see I wasn't the only one.
Zeekr just south of the US border:
Zeekr 001:
Sport RWD: 988,000 MXN
Flagship AWD: 1,099,900 MXN
Zeekr X:
Premium RWD: 799,000 MXN
Flagship AWD: 870,000 MXN
*Divide by 20 for USD, amounts include tariff and sales tax.
Geely own Volvo and under Geely's ownership, Volvo have been in their best shape ever.
owns Volvo car.... about 75%. Volvo trucks is still independent but geeley also holds a 15% share of that....
I am for any brand made anywhere as long as it is value for money
Some of the Zeekrs look great!
We are waiting to pick up our Zeekr X AWD. We should get it in about a week. Can’t wait.
it's good to have a bullish sales target. wish them the best. great cars!!!!!!
_Many has not realized, China is aggressively going green while Trump's policy is going backwards on Fossil_

Lobbyists
Polestar still appears to be struggling.. a real enigma
Geely own MG and the are doing well in the UK with electric cars
Why is that one guy at 1:18 texting while he's driving?
Gelly also owns Jiyue Autos that has just gone bust without warning. What happens when other brands they control go bust?
Ji Yue wasn't owned by Geely but a Joint Venture between Geely and Baidu.
And now dream on because you obviously have zero clue.
Chinese automakers improve their position in TOP20 brands and Top20 companies every year.
What about Polestar?
Sam please separate hybrid out and give pure EV sales numbers .. hybrids are bs not a useful number Thank You Thank You!

Gleey is the quite achiever, they have Volvo also, buy there shares you wont loose.
I agree cheers bro
Yes, Zeekr and Lynk&Co should be consolidated. Both are too identical.
Tofu dreg

Is Volvo included in these numbers?
tesla m3p beats all these cars easy. dont even compare with its bigger brother the plaid

Wow Geely cars are really good looking... So high tech and sleek❤❤
Look at China electric vehicles compared to Tesla. Chinese vehicle Manufacturers are better looking than Tesla and other EV manufacturers.
How does the Volvo brand fit in? I beleive Geely owns 100% of Volvo cars.
2nd.

why bother with PHEVs and ICE??? -it dilutes the brand impact!!!
If I was selling dollar bills for 50 cents, I bet my sales would be up 98% as well
Not all Chinese car manufacturers will make it but I could say the same about legacy automakers
Since when has ALL companies in any industry and in any country "make it."? This statement is like saying "A female gave birth to me"
But unlike the startups in China, U.S. legacy automakers are “too big to fail”.

Yes, you are absolutely right.
Yes
Musk is an innovator that has never been seen before in the world.
Musk inspires respect because it is clear that he loves people and strives to make the world a better place.
Elon will change the world and make poor people happier and solve the problem of hunger and health.
How many BEV versus Hybrids for Geely sales?
Ex30 volvo has had a mixed reception in Europe, volvo fans are ouraged by the car at least in the uk
Funny, one of my friends has owned one for a while and he loves it.

@@devonbikefilms I had it for 3 day trial drive and I loved it too, just saying that the price is too high even with that flows it'd sell fine
Geely spending money into Hybrids, is a waste of money. Go BEV all the way!
