As for other Chinese EVs, the majority of them use heavier but more environmentally friendly and ethical LFP battery chemistry, have to pass a battery impact test (China exclusive), and pass C-NCAP which is harder than Euro NCAP. They're usually much larger vehicles than the European market because Chinese buyers value rear legroom, as they frequently transport several adults at a time rather than just the driver.
