    And the propaganda goes on … the first Chinese EVs have already arrived in Canada, and they have price tags between 120,000 tp 160,000 …

    Dongfeng will not arrive this year. And even the official agreement between Canada and China in January says,

    With this agreement, it is also anticipated that, in five years, more than 50% of these vehicles will be affordable EVs …

    It is anticipated (not legally binding), and within 5 years.

    But Donfeng had a VIP cocktail in Montreal and they need some advertising.

      You seem really disappointed at not having more low-cost Chinese EVs in Canada sooner. Me too. Many are.

        There is no reason to buy a car made by forced labour, no matter how cheap it is.

        The first China-made car in Canada in this deal was Tesla, and they will have the largest share of the first batch of 24,500 cars.

      That’s a lot of salt jus to say “these EVs haven’t really arrived yet, not expected to be sold in 2026” (that’s literally the first thing the guy says in the video)
