Why should I care about Chinese Electric Vehicles?

Chinese EVs are no longer just "the future"—they are the present. They are at the forefront of automotive technology, offering incredible value, groundbreaking features (like battery-swapping and Level 2+ ADAS), and designs that are often more innovative and daring than their Western counterparts. For anyone interested in where the car industry is headed, Chinese brands are essential viewing.

Can I import a Chinese EV into my country?

Absolutely, however, it really depends on which country you live in. Some countries are currently restricting Chinese EVs into their countries for a variety of reasons. Please contact our sales team who are specialists in this area and they will let you know more information: Sales@wheelsboy.cn

Are Chinese EVs safe?

This is a common and important question. Historically, there were concerns, but the industry has evolved dramatically. Major Chinese brands like BYD, NIO, XPENG, and Li Auto now build cars that not only meet but often exceed global safety standards (like Euro NCAP and China's own C-NCAP), frequently achieving 5-star ratings. We always look closely at safety features and crash test results in our reviews- especially our video detailing D-Car's tests.

I've heard about "battery-swapping." What is that and who offers it?

Battery-swapping is an alternative to charging where you drive into a station and a robot automatically replaces your depleted battery with a fully charged one in just a few minutes. NIO is the global leader in this technology, with a vast and growing network of swap stations in China and Europe. It's a game-changer for long trips and urban dwellers without home charging. Check out our upcoming EV Tour video in Sichuan to know more.

Can I buy these cars in North America or Europe?

Europe: Yes! Many Chinese brands are already selling successfully in Europe, including BYD, NIO, XPENG, Hongqi, and Omoda. Availability varies by country. North America: Currently, it's much more difficult due to high tariffs and political tensions. However, some Chinese-owned brands like Polestar (Geely) and Volvo (Geely) are already here. It's a market we're watching very closely for any breakthroughs.
