Why Some Europeans Distrust Chinese EVs — and What the Data Says

Some armies ban Chinese cars near their bases, Brussels imposes tariffs on them, and nearly three out of four European buyers are skeptical… and yet, in August, one out of every three plug-in hybrids sold in Europe was from a Chinese brand. In this documentary, we use registration data, owner surveys, and official reports to analyze which of the four major fears—espionage, reliability, resale value, and rigged pricing—stand up to scrutiny and which ones fall apart. Find out why MG, the legendary British brand from Longbridge, is now owned by Shanghai, and why a reliability ranking places Land Rover below MG.
