    I wouldn’t be concerned about a dealer group going bump in China, it’s not, as if dealer groups don’t close here or change from on manufacturer to another, besides China’s internal market is different to that of ours.

    It isn’t unheard of when a manufacturer withdraws sales from a country anther manufactures dealership will take over service and warranty work or if a manufacturer goes into administration, you hope a buy out will happen or the warranty comes null and void!

    China is at least 5 years ahead with EV’s, are they fragile, well we know China, along with every other country doesn’t have the same safety standards, as Europe but, to sell cars in europe, they have to meet our safety standards and go through the same euro NCAP testing, as european cars and many of the Chinese cars have met 4 or 5 stars, as european cars do.

    You have also got to consider the number of european manufacturers with Chinese partners building cars in China for the Chinese market and also shipping them back to europe to be sold – Cupra Taviscan, BMW iX3, Citreon C5x, Dacia Spring, DS9, Smart#, Volvo EX30, Tesla…. There’s also the fact 90+% of european built EV’s use Chinese battery cells and modules etc.

    The Youtube myth of Chinese cars sitting in undergrowth has been debunked many times over, as has the one in France.
