Definitions and difference between Bevs and Chinese PHEVS

Increased tariff last year from the European Union on the Chinese Bevs was not exactly a surprise. What was a surprise was that the additional component hybrid was not affected by the emerging tariffs, which caught most of the Chinese original equipment manufacturers. Previously, they were betting on launching Bev models in Europe, where the PHEV market was a late idea. But this seems to be changing, as the success of the Seal U PEV.

Compared to the best sales of Chinese Bevs competitive with local competition, then doing the same for the best -selling Chinese sales, we note the difference in the increasing definitions and the reason that makes me focus on the most important original equipment manufacturers in China on the PHEV market in the near future.

As such, given the specifications of the three best -selling Bevs in Europe – MG 4 (11000 units), seal byD (8000 units), BYD Dolphin (7000 units) – and compared to local direct competition – you inverted identifier – here in the case of MG 4 and Byd Dolphin, and VW ID.7

MG 4 (version of 51 kWh): 350 km WLTP range, 88 kW DC Charge, 33,000 euros (in the Netherlands); Byd Dolphin (version 61 kWh): 427 km, 88 kW change, 37,000 euros;

Opposite

VW ID.3 (version 52 kWh): 388 km, 145 kW DC CHARGE, 30,000 euros.

And …

Byd SEAL (version 61 kWh): 460 km, 110 kW DC Charge, 42000 euros;

Opposite

VW ID.7 (version 77 kWh): 615 km, 190 kW DC Charge, 49,000 euros.

As we see, ID.3 managed to be cheaper than the Chinese EV, and not losing much on the specifications. On the contrary, it receives nearly twice the speed of the Chinese models, while in relation to the group, it remains almost between the two. Therefore, it is a German hatchback.

For medium -sized EVS, while the German model has much better specifications, which is more spacious, and provides a vehicle body, every plus points in Europe, compensates the seal by being the cheapest 7000 euros. So … get what you pay for. It is a tie between these two.

An interesting note: Have you noticed that with regard to charging the capital, both German Evs in a different league compared to their Chinese competitors? Despite all the talk about the Chinese EVS years before the competition, as with everything, they also have their weak sites, which the old OEMS can explore. And shipping the capital is one of them. Another is efficiency. Since KWH is cheap in China, Makes Local does not focus much on efficiency. The third disadvantage is the small experience they enjoy in the European market, which makes it difficult to adapt their models to local tastes. An example of this: station vehicles.

Now, given the specifications of the three best-selling Chinese in Europe-BYD U PEV (22000 units), MG HS PEV (10,000 units), and JaeCoo 7 PHEV (3500 units)-and compare it to local direct competition-Volvo XC60 PHEV and VW Kuga PEV in the case of JaeCoo 7-here we get:

Byd SEAL U PEV: 80 KM WLTP RANGE Electric, 18 KW DC Charging, 40,000 euros; MG HS PHEV: 103 km electric sets, no DC charging, 41000 euros;

Opposite

Volvo XC60 PHEV: Range 82 Km Electric Range, No DC Charging, 62,000 euros; VW Tiguan Phev: 100 km electric sets, 50 kWh shipping, 47,000 euros.

and…

Jaecoo 7 Phev: 90 KM Electric Range, No Dc Charging, 38000 Euros;

Opposite

Ford Kuga Phev: 56 km electric sets, no DC charging, 39,000 euros.

In the first case, given the specifications only, the Volvo model has completely deviated from its depth here, as it receives about 20,000 euros for an additional emblem and energy. Even there, MG HS has a common power of 340 hp, so do not sag … so, Volvo outside. A tendency is a tendency …

As for the German intersection, it is not closer to the price for Chinese competitors, but it also has competitive specifications – i.e. DC charging 50 kW. However, however, between 6000 to 7000 euros from MG and BYD models …. Does charging the capital make this difference in the extra component hybrid? Therefore, two Chinese EVS are connected to the top, thus hitting the Volkswagen model.

Finally, compared to Jaecoo 7 known with Ford Kuga: Although wise pricing is somewhat equal, where Jaecoo gets a slight edge thanks to 1000 euros cheaper (90 miles), it is somewhat similar in the usual term, and is somewhat similar, as there is a generation of generation. Cherry Cherry. A clear victory for JaCoo.

Therefore, while in the Bev field, the possibilities seem to prefer local brands, in the PHEV field, the lack of a large tariff allows the competitive pricing of Chinese models, which change everything. Either the manufacture of local original equipment follows competitive specifications, at the expense of pricing by the Chinese competition, or when betting on the price, the specifications are one step behind that direct competition coming from China.

And there you go. As it is, the growing Bev tariff creates a level level for local matches, without isolating it from the Chinese competition. Therefore, while they are temporarily protected, they cannot sit on their glories, because although neutral from the main sale point, the price will continue to develop. The current weak stains, such as charging the capital, will not last forever, so you invest either the owners of European original equipment in Bevs competitive now, allowing them to go to the best in China within a few years, or the Chinese EVS will win the race – not because it is cheaper, but because it is better.
