it's weird looking at the American market for vehicles... most new offerings, trucks...
pickups & semi's, Tesla the big exception.
I'm in China. Pickups are very few & far in between, as in no market. A few trucks here
I see, more American brands than the smaller Japanese.. all- in- all, still a handful in the
China land of SUVs & sedans. Maybe 3/4 of the American choices are Ford's Raptor.
Not cheap. Status is a big thing here.
As far as EV's, I would tend to avoid the American marketplace as this moment unless you
want to bank on trucks or SUVs; however, most EV sales the next umpteen years are China
& Europe. There are a lot of cars here, most being new/ fairly new, no junk.. excuse the pun.
The infrastructure for transportation is constantly evolving and laws are generally supportive
of a "greener" future.
I think NIO has the "idea" here and next, Germany.. whynot? The land of the autobahn &
precision automobile product builds.. sort of like going to Mecca to see what driving is/ or
should be, all about. Yet large EV's seem to be preferable in China.. smaller EVs cars in
Europe. Think the Renault ZOE for example.
To adequately address to what I think are the markets needs, my money is best invested
in the Chinese EV market with a side eye elsewhere. |
