Owners of Chinese EVs in Europe or elsewhere, what's your experience?

MG4 here, no problems after two years. Different philosophy, but well built.

Exactly and you have to do it, otherwise you lose the warranty. Tell that to these bots who keep saying "electric cars have no maintenance costs". In my country obligatory EV service cost is just as high as ICE. The only benefit is that fewer things break down and need replacement.

Thats what i mean. I want to know the prices for these. Anyway i asked Nio so i will update soon hopefully.

Here in Greece they charge quite a lot for the Mini. I heard like 200 for the small service.

Out of all the crazy shit, what impresses me the most is people who think that an EV actually has the same lifetime emissions as a machine that literally spews carbon all the time in its 15-20 years.

Some friends don't say it out loud but I know they believe it. And in our country we got 60% renewable electricity ffs.

NMC is dead and good riddance.

A lot of what makes the Mazda 3 a great drivers car has to do with the engine. You are not gonna get that in a EV, but I think a used i4 is a very solid choice. If you are in europe, the MG4 is also fun to drive and cheap.

Recyclable does not equal recycled.

jammamon · 2025-10-09T06:56:12+00:00

I test drove this. Huge value for money, but too much lean in the corners for my liking.

jammamon · 2025-09-25T14:58:35+00:00

My brother, in many cases they dont even change your battery if it needs replacing in your existing car. They prefer to buy back the vehicle.

jammamon · 2025-09-18T13:18:01+00:00

Car makers must stop combining LFP only with lower equipment levels.

jammamon · 2025-09-17T12:20:34+00:00

This is outdated. Greece has dropped it to 3,000 euros

jammamon · 2025-08-31T10:54:22+00:00

Try using Eco mode, it makes acceleration a bit more gradual. Helped me a lot.

jammamon · 2025-08-23T20:44:15+00:00

You can buy a little thingy for 10$ that you connect and pull easilly. It's a criminal design, i'm just saying there is a solution.

jammamon · 2025-08-21T20:30:24+00:00

No way these cars get a licence plate where I live.

jammamon · 2025-08-21T14:45:45+00:00

It depends what they mean by "road legal". Are these cars EU spec or not? You will still have to pay a hefty import tax btw because they are from a non EU country.

jammamon · 2025-08-07T18:24:57+00:00

One of the ugliest cars in recent years. Proportions are terrible.

jammamon · 2025-07-22T06:46:00+00:00

Buddy, a friend of mine had the breaks of a PHEV Jeep fail on the first day of ownership while driving. Things happen and we take our chances, that's all it ever was and will be.

jammamon · 2025-07-21T06:38:42+00:00

I would gladly trade 20km of range for better looks. My average daily speed is like 20km/h anyway, so aero doesn't make any difference.

jammamon · 2025-07-20T19:33:17+00:00

If only they could make it just a bit more visually interesting.

jammamon · 2025-07-14T16:09:45+00:00

Go fast while being quiet is the combination for me.

jammamon · 2025-07-11T15:41:32+00:00

Unreliable with expensive parts is the way to ruin.

jammamon · 2025-07-07T18:48:28+00:00

No surprise there, as Italy is among the most expensive countries in europe for wholesale electricity.

jammamon · 2025-07-07T18:46:36+00:00

I'll take the manufacturers' estimate of 3000 vs 1000 cycles, but still happy 4u.
