Exactly especially when VW once dominated the CN market for decades with few alternatives

When it comes to electric vehicles, buying brand new is for those with more money than sense anyway.

The only people who complain about them being too cheap are the European manufacturers and the politicians on their payroll.

CN price for Atto 3 (Yuan Plus) is £12K, Chinese cars sell for more in the EU/UK and still get complaints they're tooooooo cheap. If they really wanted to flood the market they could easily.

The UK already has low import tariffs. Short term greed is the problem.

The Atto 3 is too expensive for what it is, lacking the maturity and sophistication needed to justify it's price tag. This SeaLion 05 seems to have both of those qualities in spades.
