What is happening

What the sources report

According to a study by AlixPartners, the average production cost of a Chinese electric car is about 17,800 euros, while for a European model it reaches 27,600 euros. Newsbeast

The difference is mainly due to the cost of batteries, raw materials and energy, and not only to lower wages in China. Newsbeast

In the second quarter of 2026, Chinese brands took 10.7% of the Western European market, compared with about 6% a year earlier. Newsbeast

Chinese companies can develop a new car in 24 to 30 months, while European ones generally need more time. Newsbeast

AlixPartners estimates that sales of Chinese brands in Europe will reach 2.3 million vehicles in 2026 and 3.8 million by 2030. Newsbeast
