I wish you could buy Chinese EVs in United States.

You can buy personal EVs directly from China today (e-scooters, e-bikes, e-unicycles).

You can buy a Polestar I think.

Polestar is Swedish. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polestar

They are designed in Sweden but Polestar (along with Volvo) is now owned by Geeley, a Chinese company.

The Polestar vehicles are manufactured in China (in addition to being owned by Geeley, a Chinese company)

If you check the vehicle info in the door, they note they're made in China: https://static.cargurus.com/images/forsale/2023/11/04/04/31/...

Yes — the Wikipedia article that I linked says so as well. But Polestar is headquartered in Sweden, and the cars are designed by Swedes in Sweden. It’s a Swedish brand.

Volvo are owned by the Chinese!?

speedgoose · on Nov 18, 2023

Yes. Geely also own Lotus and started to produce heavy Lotus branded SUVs.

MG is also Chinese.

I wouldn't buy a Chinese ICE vehicle (besides maybe a Wuhan-made Honda). What makes you think EVs would be any different?

I too like to burn alive in a vehicle that'll disintegrate at 100kph or above.
