@@zes3813 i dont think Canada is a rich country, look at how many ppl abusing with welfare and junkies who are still alive living in the streets? and the taxes is just crazy high just to keep those scammers alive
Awesome video WheelsBoy Team!!!! Congratulations to the participants of the first tour. Looks like so much fun. Definitely will be enquiring on the details for the tours in 2025. Chinese cars are incredible value for money and tech packed which is exciting.
Wheelsboy, you guys are amazing. I can only hope the Canadian government can one day stop being corrupt and succumbing to pressure from Western corps/billionaires, and allows us to access these amazing Chinese cars. This tour looks amazing, and I hope to do it one day!
Here in Brazil, now, we have so many chinese brands in brazilian's streets! If pick a random person and ask: "What brand you think when you see a EV?", this person say BYD. Also, nice tour, guys!! 😃✌
Great work on this channel. I just bought the Hyptec HT. Your video on this one did not help me, because my export variant was quite different and the video was very short. But the general overview this channel provides made it easy for me to make a good and confident pick quickly in my market. Thanks!
Here in the UK, a relative cheap Chinese EV, such as a BYD Dolphin, the same money will buy you a Citröen C5 Aircross, a far bigger car. It's because EVs coming from China are taxed to death.
It is kind of sad to see all these Chinese cars offering great things, while knowing more than half of what I see on Chinese auto channels will never come to Europe. And when they do, they cost almost double (already the case before the recent tariffs), are buggy and do simply not perform as well. Chinese are coming to take over Europe (sarcastic) but what they offer so far is mediocre at best most of the time. Save for a couple such as XPeng G9.
I believe, I am your oldest follower and my Love for EVs is undeniable so I would like to join you in china, Way back after watching you episodes when I tell people about these Evs everyone thinks I am mad 😂 & imagining while asleep.
This is a great idea. Seeing is believing! This could be the best way to gain a true understanding of the Chinese EV industry, which is really the future of the global auto industry.
that was really cool, i look forward to your next tour videos. its nice having the perspective of everyday people. what would be really good if if you could get some politicians to come next time. maybe some people from the greens party from aus and nz
Nah, better to get them from the right. With Dutton pushing nuclear and the right leaning NZ gov charging ~ 9c/km RUC on EVs you need to pry them out of the News/Sky media propaganda bubble.
Ethan, I am glad your first tour event went well. It appears everyone had a great time. Some strong Aussie accents there :-)). I had heard it is difficult for foreigners to get driving permission in China... Did not seem an issue for your guys and gals.
It was essentially a non-issue! I heard they basically went inside, watched a very gruesome video on accidents inside China, and then handed them their temporary driving permits. Not what I'd do myself, but, it left quite the impression.
@@christiaanburger2205 I asked because this is what the AI bot told me. For foreigners to drive in China, they need to obtain a Chinese driver's license. Here are the key requirements: 1: Age: You must be between 18 and 70 years old to drive a car or scooter, and 18 to 60 years old to ride a motorcycle. 2. Valid Foreign Driver's License: You need to have a valid driver's license from your home country. This license must be translated into Chinese and notarized. 3. Visa or Residence Permit: You must hold a valid visa or residence permit that allows you to stay in China. 4. Medical Certificate: Some regions may require a health check from a designated hospital. 5. Passport and Photos: You'll need your original passport and a copy of the information page, along with passport-sized photos (usually 2-4) 6. Application Form: Complete the application form for a Chinese driver's license, which can be obtained at the local Vehicle Management Office. 7. Written Test: In some areas, you may need to pass a written test on Chinese traffic laws. The process involves submitting all the required documents, paying the necessary fees, and possibly taking a written test. Once approved, the Chinese driver's license is usually valid for six years and can be renewed upon expiration. I guess those thinking of doing a motorcycle tour through Yunnan to Shangri-la via Dali and Lijiang when they retire are out of luck. Hard to believe no one over 70 can drive.
@@christiaanburger2205 Thanks for the shout out there Chris, Foshan is the city which I tend to go back every Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival. All the non Tesla charger in the Foshan Gaungdong Province, I have plugshare the chargers in that region. I'm currently the secretary of AEVA NT in Australia. I love to meet other EV fans in China and if you know of some in South China, send them my way. I'm currently doing some podcast and find me if you like to listen and search for EV NT Podcast, thank you for reaching out, love the video too.
@@josephchin1178 if you have wechat we could add each other? I've been staying here for 7 years already 🤭and next time we can do the WheelsBoy Guangzhou tour together!
How did I miss out on this opportunity? I've been to China now, five times in the past year to drive the amazing EVS there. And to hang out with Ethan and the crew 😞
@@pinghuilin9230谢谢哈 😂 white dude is me, also, it's quite a neutral accent, not really German. I can basically not speak German anymore, just English Afrikaans, Dutch and Chinese.
Having been to all the Chinese auto shows, would you be able to give a quick rundown of which are best, when each city runs theirs (what time of year, which years), etc.?
Hello, Ethan! I missed my chance to meet you! I’m a content creator making videos about cars, and I had the opportunity to travel to China. I was at the show too. my content is in spanish.
Get a temporary driving license in China is quite simple, though the specific regulations depend on the city or province. We handle the whole process for participants, they just provide the necessary documents and we take them to the Ministry of Transportation office once they arrive.
Kind of stupid how Geely gives EU the worst cars possible while they have excellent stuff in China. The Zeekr 001 and Polestar 4 are buggy, inefficient, expensive and charge dog slow here.
What i don't like about Chinese EVs are they all copy Tesla stuck on tablet. Not one.. Not one Chinese EV has a nice integrated touch screen in the center console. They all look like aftermarket stuck on tablet.
I live in Canada, and every time I come back to Canada from China, I feel like I have returned to the last century.
😂😂😂
i moved to guangzhou, every time i go back to vancouver to visit, i do felt like i time travelled 😂😂
Same going back to Europe every summer.
Then why is Canada so much more richer?

Very cool to see you guys (Wheelsboy team) could become such window between China and the rest in automotive world. Good job!
Thnx! As a driver of the Zeekr 001 Privilege in Holland I can say that I love this modern, silent, fast,beautiful car!
Chinese EV cars are the pinnacle of electric cars, but sadly in Europe we've to pay always double the prices they pay locally.
You have to thank Ursula for that.

Wow!!!!! Ethan, this is next level!!!!! Shaking my Head.......
Oh, what they are going to report when they go back to their countries....
I wish one day these cars come to USA!!
Your country bans that.
Car shows becoming a tour group destination, only in China!
Would love to attend this tour one day, great work ❤

Excellent! Let's hope people will start to understand Chinese cars at long last.
Wow! Great idea!!! Open to Singapore as well???
We’re open to people from anywhere!
I love this
How good! Keep it up mate!
Ethan, great job! Keep it up, dude!

Yes! Yes! Yes! The AVATR 11 and 12 are both so hot!
Well done Wheels boy!
Such a nicr experience, its like visiting a glance of future
Very smart business direction.
Walk out understand / upgrade instead staying in a hole and complain.

This is amazing!!!
Might go on a tour if they got one in 2026 :D
When I talked to Ethan and Seaman, it seemed like they want to try and have 3 every year, different locations etc.
As Chris said, we plan to do these multiple times each year!
@ :D
怎么觉得轮哥的节目在b站很少看到了
现在主要经营油管了。
因为他讲的东西，国内车评人都讲了。而很多车老外都不知道。虽然国内车评人也有油管账号，但没有英文输出。车轮哥刚好

What a great experience! Don’t you need a Chinese driver license to drive in China?
I am available for any of three wheels boys tours in 2025.
How they got driver's license in china? just curious
Me too.
Thinking same

@@Wheelsboy On the web it says 1: Age: You must be between 18 and 70 years old to drive a car or scooter. Are there no drivers in China over 70?
@@AJames-jr8kwApparently there are, this restriction is only for applying new licenses.
Wasn’t invited 😢
🎉🎊👏👏👌👌👍👍🎈❤💯
China number one!
轮子哥这模式可以哦
Wish you had invited me.
When will you review the luxeed R7?
The hottest car in china now??! Huawei tech...
I wonder what 007 thinks about the 001...
Better question: what does 007 think about the Zeekr 007?
车轮哥牛逼！！！！！！！！！
Kind of stupid how Geely gives EU the worst cars possible while they have excellent stuff in China. The Zeekr 001 and Polestar 4 are buggy, inefficient, expensive and charge dog slow here.
Polestar is a VERY small player in China.
Everyone driving got their temporary licence I hope
Giving out hats and not fanny packs?!? Disappointed 😂
下一次轮哥是不是组织中国粉丝去外国看看当地的汽车市场了。反向观光。
Too many Australians 😅
sounds like a sponsored video, only saying good things no drawbacks in anything, seems too good to be true.
Why don't you join his tour next time and you will know for sure.
The smiles seemed genuine.
@@AJames-jr8kwthey were!
What would be the draw back on a car tour¿
@@daweigo6851 I think he meant with what we were saying about the cars.
What i don't like about Chinese EVs are they all copy Tesla stuck on tablet. Not one.. Not one Chinese EV has a nice integrated touch screen in the center console. They all look like aftermarket stuck on tablet.
