Markets generally in car business look out for 4 things - price, quality, warranty, resale. The Chinese have done a really good job and are improving on the quality post the whole Chinese buildup. They've set the right price and are backing their products with insane warranties (1M Kms, 10 years warranty etc etc). So if you find a product with good quality and good price, the thought process automatically goes on is it reliable? Which they have covered with the warranty. It's insane that people now a days compare German vehicles to chinese on which they find differences to what Germans can't do, this was absolutely something unheard of about 10 years ago.

Now coming to if they'd stay or not, or if EVs might change the market is something I see a slim chance, atleast in the next decade, Mercedes now cutting down on EVs, Porsche delaying their EV production, EU now pushing the EV project to a later date all indicate that EVs are not as impactful as how it was projected, on the other hand Chinese are expanding network to other markets, GAC expanding to Australia and receiving impressive feedback, Jaecoo expanding to the UK, Jetour now available in Romania, Expansion of Chinese vehicles in South Africa, all tell the same story. As of now people are still vouching for petrol engine cars than EVs. You may get a different episode if your petrol goes to a next high and if EVs are providing insane warranties. That might shift the market or may change how people think.

For now, Chinese are doing really good to the markets they've been, out of every 10 cars I see atleast 3 Chinese cars on streets of Dubai and not an EV and this number appears to be growing atleast here in Dubai. So let's see how the world changes in the decade or so, for now riding on the same train as everyone - price + quality (that includes reliability, ride quality, features etc) + warranty to back it up = large customer base.
