For the sake of the earth, advancements in technology and health of the Chinese I am so glad to hear this.
2025 is going to be a great year for EV's!
Thanks for the awesome content mate
Keep buying EV's, it helps my schadenfreude when you try to sell them.
@@Stiffytheenlightened Wanna take a bet on the price of a used ICE in a couple of years?😂
Tesla will go the way of the other legacy automakers. They can’t compete with the second biggest economy.
@ Yes they can. I think they are not going to have things their own way but they can still survive quite easily as a more luxury manufacturer, even in China.
How long will this last with China looking like a dumpster fire? ruclips.net/video/2Z4BSROV4Dc/видео.html
The Xiaomi SU7 is a beast. Hope to see it in Australia soon. What a car
But when it is compared with YU7, SU7 is not a thing.
I am dying for a Seagull. or a Ami with Air conditioning.
It's like comparing Tesla Model 3 with Model Y. Both are good cars but for different consumers.
A lot of these Chinese cars make US cars look incredibly dated and boring….the legacy players do not have a hope in hell of winning this war!
Musk asked Biden to tarrif Chinese EVs because they are WAY better than Tesla. This is from Reuters back in January 2024 for reference
There's a reason why China car manufacturers sell more than established makes. It's because their government subsidizes their manufacturing operations and their workers are on much lower pay so they can undercut manufacturers outside China. Just like they've done in many other industries like steelmaking, tool making, electronics, clothing and textiles. You think it's great that you're getting cheap cars from China but trust me everything comes at a price. It'll further weaken your country's ability to self sustain. China and Beijing will be running your country not Washington.
@@jamessmyth5949 You do realized that Robot do most of the works right? This is not 1990s. The reason Chinese are payed lower is because the cost of living there is also cheaper. For example, an apple cost 1-2 dollar in United State, right! Then an apple in china cost 1 Yuan price. A dollar is 1:7 to Yuan but the the living cost almost the same. And your correct for the last parts, GETTING cheap cars from China comes at a price. It'll further weaken the country's ability to self sustain. And that's why sanction existed, but the consequences is any country that doesn't have a electric car industry, United Stated will be no match with China under the market.
@ericma3768 Oh yeah the Chinese robots have arms and legs and they also breathe lol. No the reason Chinese workers are paid lower is because they're being exploited under their regime. China is out to become the world superpower and control the economy of other countries like Australia and the USA by controlling the manufacture of all products. Once other countries are no longer able to manufacture and they become reliant on China then China will pull the strings as it sees fit. Countries can impose all the tariffs they like, that will make no difference to China because they control the manufacture and they will just impose tariffs of their own or use sanctions like what happened last time when they banned the import of many imported products like wine and seafoods.
AVATR is about to lunch in Mexico. We have over 20 Chinese brands, including ZEEKR .
Wow, lucky you!
VOYAH is from Dongfeng. This company also makes the Nammi Box series.
Real affordable (€23.400 in the EU), highly efficient and good quality EV's, with LFP batteries from CATL.
the market has spoken
I have never heard of some of these brands, but they look really stylish, and I like the different colors. I wish they can come to the states.
And NIO sold 30K + in December. AMAZING! also 70 million battery swaps, I guess they bet right.
He doesnt know how to say nio
He is forbidden by is owner
@@pedroaguiarcoelho3770 Yup, I see that. It's AMAZING, LOL. But hey, they get paid good money to short, so I "almost" can't blame him, LOL
Elon Musk once said: Chinese Car manufacturers can demolish every legacy car factories if no tarrif. That's technology, design/style, price, availability…
I suspect that’s going to happen, even with tariffs. You might just possibly force people to eat chicken when they want beef, but they won’t thank you for it.
Import tariffs have saved the American and European legacy car makers. But for how long? Tariffs are like sand bags, if people don't move to a higher ground, eventually they will be drowned by the rising water.
China's EV prowess is government sponsored.
For China it makes sense. China has a government directed electric grid and massive coal deposits that make electric generation cheap. They also have very low oil reserves so the move away from oil is good for them.
China (and the rest of the world) also has massive thorium deposits and (soon) the most nuclear power, and twice as much as anyone within 3 years and triple anyone else in 5 years. With the world's first thorium nuclear power plant and hundreds more to be constructed.
Battery cars are explosive 😢
Surely 2025 must be the year when the Japanese automakers finally wake up and smell the kung pao chicken?
Too late, the supply chain is carved out.
Japanese car companies will be selling CATL and BYD platforms with a Toyota or Honda body on top of it.
@jayceh yep, way too late, but nevertheless, the realisation must surely come eventually.
@@jayceh Maybe. Don’t get me wrong: I think the Japanese manufacturers are pretty much going down, not perhaps for the third but probably for the second time. There’s only going to be room for maybe two, at most, in a couple of years.
Never Going To Happen.
There is no EV transition without Telsa and China.
@@jayceh Not only the Japanese, but also GM & Ford.
NIO had a superb month. Nio, Onvo and soon Firefly.
NIO/Onvo is the one you should be talking about. Soon you won't have a choice but to talk about them. Chargeable/ upgradable/ swappable.About to double deliveries in 2025.
Another great video, very informative.
Time is up on Legacy Auto in China.
Meanwhile Tesla's sales are falling in China on month to month basis. It is about Chinese preferring Chinese cars and not about preferring evs
@@user-nh1yb9mk7y good call this is why all the Western auto manufacturers can’t sell their EV anywhere in the world let alone China
China has fooled the legacy automakers. China's central government has orchestrated
the sequence of events we are experiencing.
Thanks to the CCP strangling off its competition 😆
Yeah, it's remarkable how they caused legacy automakers to produce inferior cars.@@NoiserToo
May the best man win ... and they did!!!
Avatar sells in Thailand so probably coming to Aus soon
There is one problem though.
Avatr is one of the few car brands that use Huawei's powerful system for EVs.
So the Australian gov't, which banned Huawei, may not allow it to be sold in Australia.
I hope they do let Avatr sell in Australia because I think the Huawei EV system is by far amongst the best in the market.
@ good point, I forgot about that.
Outstanding!
All of them are amazing cars!
Great news!

Legacy auto has to lower prices in the short term to compete but they have been caught napping by chinese automakers...
They are starting to - f.e. 1.1.2025 in Finland Peugeot lowered its prices and is even cheaper than chinese.
@@user12122 How long can they keep doing that? Peugeot are part of Stellantis and Stellantis’s profits crashed last year.

No video on ET9 Mr Viking?
Viking is still biased against Nio, he is reporting every single news about Electrical cars big or small. ET9 being the best of the cars we have seen recently , there is no reason for Viking not make a video about it.
Is it actually available in Oz?
@@joshua5056 Sam is like a child which has lost his "big" sand shovel fight in the sandbox to others. Now he tantrums childishly way through with his videos to NIO.
On this video like any other video, where NIO has been mention, Sam does not forgot to say "NIO CEO is a little bit "harsh/bad etc" towards Tesla CEO, he has said badly about Musk, he is not good CEO" etc.
There is no video where NIO is mention in positive way. There is always negative feed in the end.
It’s really good to get this kind of details proven by statistical fact content updated and review, good on you Sam well done review keep up the good work, long live EV !!!
Love your channel, great content and info. Hope these Chinese vehicles hold up after years of use. Looking at something you have recently recommended. Happy New Year and all the best to you and your family through what you are all enduring.
I saw a review on RUclips of a fleet of MG5 estate BEV run ironically by a diesel fitting company. All the cars had covered nearly 200,000 miles and All were absolutely fine and hadn’t been serviced either. My mate had a Mondeo estate petrol and the engine was toasted after just 135,000 miles. The car was beyond economic repair and was scrapped.
He never speaks of resell values. How convenient
2022-2024 volume by units sold : (ICE) -0.7%, while (EV) +27%. The trend is all over the wall. Many ICE companies will experience a “Kodak Moment”. EV is the disruption for ICE just like digital for film.
Whether you charge from solar or from the grid depends upon your supplier. I get paid 15p per kWh by the grid, and for some part of the night I pay 7p per kWh - so it is obviously better for me to sell the power from my solar panels to the company, and buy it back at a little under half that price at night.
Great info in this video! Thank you!
Only a blind, or possibly paid, Tesla fanboy would claim that Tesla selling 5% less cars in a market where EV sales are massively expanding is in any way anything but a disaster for Tesla
I think his point was with such downfall of all other western manufacturers, Tesla was the only one afloat... not a good year for Tesla for sure in china or globally. but I personally think that will be difficult to improve market share in china as local players are really stepping up
It is time to drive an EV.

Thanks!! Great job. Was waiting for your Dec China sale report!! Very impressed with Li Auto and X Peng’s number… wonder if they beat VW’s EV sales number in 2024? Please do a 2024 year summary videos on top 10 EV manufacturers.
You need to take into account the Euro tariffs on Chinese EVs. Sales would have grown exponentially.
These Chinese cars are so sleek and high tech.. makes legacy auto literally legacy 😂
How are Tesla's shrinking sales in a market that is rapidly growing something positive? They used to be the innovation leader, they got access to all the ressources of the Chinese EV supply chain and they aren't doing anything with it.
Hi Sam, I'm a Novocastrian currently travelling on the Eastern seaboard of the USA. Im a car enthusiast and use to love coming to the USA and seeing the future of the automotive industry - not any more. The new cars here, in comparison to China, are sedate even boring. I really think Detroit has lost the plot. BTW, not surprisingly i have seen a few Teslas (but not many) and one Lucid dealership.
cool video
@Sam this concludes that people prefer high quality cars with better technology and build quality rather than legacy brands. I have a Jaguar xf, a Volkswagen polo, Volkswagen jetta, Toyota fortuner, Toyota Innova and a Suzuki Grand Vitara Hybrid. Of all the cars I love my Volkswagens and the Toyotas but at present times these brands compared to the Chinese automakers provide nothing in terms of value. The Xiaomi SU7 is a prime example of value for money proposition.
RIP European luxury brands. Earlier people used to buy the German trio just because of the quality and performance when they were using ICE Engines. Now the cars are powered with electric motors and even the budget brands can provide high performance electric motors at a very affordable price point. China brands like Denza and Zeekr are making more luxurious family minivans than Europe.
I don’t think I would opt for a Mercedes against a Zeekr.
Time for Chinese Brands to rule.
I'm not going to cheerlead for China brands just yet; I want to see how long they hold up in real world conditions. It's easy for a reviewer to gush over the latest Zeekr or BYD model, and they are pretty cool, I'll admit. But what will it be like in 3-4 years?
@@ChickensAndGardening I have personally seen byd cars with 3.5 lakh kms and above on the odometer and that too 3 years ago. With the improved batteries and technology they might travel even more.
In china taxi operators are unarguably happy with EV taxis .
Hi Sam, please give us some in-depth reviews of the iCar 03 and V23. These EV's are selling outside China but they aren't getting the reviews. I've placed an order for an AWD iCar 03 and I'm told it should arrive in about three weeks but I'd still like to see some good honest reviews. Cheers and Happy New Year mate.
The problem is Tesla stock has been pumped so irresponsibly, there’s no way it’s a good stock to buy now.
Zeeker maybe
Lucid gravity is about to skyrocket
Huawei alone has 5 BEV subbrands under the HIMA:
1. AITO
2. Avatr
3. Luxeed
4. Stelato
5. Maextro
Personally i would love to own a Volkswagen Buzz, but seriously, who can afford one ? So i would be daft not to go the Chinese route.
Please do a video on avatr. Saw it once in China. Very intriguing

I'm all for renewables but here in northern europe, we almost haven't got more than 10 hours of sun since the end of November. Solar production is at its total minimum... so we need the grid.
There is a lot of wind in Northern Europe. The grid can be cleaner as well.
@@educypriano2 I live in northern Canada and have not had sun in 8 days now. Should be getting some in 2 to 3 days but only a couple of hr's per day. The grid has been down 2 or 3 times since Xmas yesterday for 12 hr's. Have to use dinosaur juice to recharge the solar backup and run the property and its almost 1.5 hrs. to the closest charging station for you that have EVs They had no power last night when I drove past the station.. It's warming up its a balmy - 10 now. Going out to snow blow the yard then some x-country skiing.
Today the high is 78F in Los Angeles 🌞
@@educypriano2 Yes but sometimes we don't. For almost a month we are experiencing a weather event where we have almost now sun, packed sky and very few wind (this event has a german name I can't remember). We are constructing a lot of wind power as well, even offshore and our main power generation capacity is solar (I'm in Belgium) but fortunately we still have a bit of nuclear to keep up once the weather is not in our favour. Unfortunately we have natural gas generation as well...

*The only reason Tesla hold up is because of Chinese people like Western brand and have the old image of western brand have more features but that is pretty much the only reason and curiosity about something different.*
Tesla is old, outdated and much like the old Ford Taurus...bad car 😂
Teslas sold in China are made in Shanghai, so it's like a local brand. The best Teslas anywhere, even according to Musk no long ago.
... so why won't the US reciprocate by allowing Chinese brands made in US to be sold in US?

Always find your vids insightful. Would appreciate seeing more about the 2 wheel EV market, as that is of major interest here in South East Asia. What do you think of Xiaomi's Ninebot?
cant wait for blade battery 2.0 on an updated Seal! Potentially...hopefully...if not this year...maybe next year?
And yet very few of these companies are making profits from the EVs they sell.
This video was released in January 1st/2nd 2025 but you keep saying last year and next year. I'm afraid that's can be a bit unclear. So a suggestion is that you actually state the year you're speaking of, this is clear and prevents confusion not to mention professional.
05:22 - ...from the guy who probably buys Apple or Samsung trash when there are so many better snd affordable Androids and Huawei.
The cars are great but there are issues in the UK. The charging infra is seriously bad. It takes forever to find a fast one and it takes forever to charge at a slow one. You can't park in a parking garage, you can't insure them, or at least the prmium is very high. Repais are slow, dealers are few and far inbetween. Charging costs are as high as fossil, or higher. Solar charging doesn't work because of lack of sunshine hours. So in short, the cars are great, everything else is bad. So people stck to their old car until that car is prohibited on the road.
Repairs maybe expensive, but EVs are pretty low maintenance compared to ICE vehicles- no oil changes, spark plugs, engine tuning. You still need to change brakes and tires, but little else for many years.
Chinese EVs also destroying TSLA. First time TSLA didn’t meet their end of the year deliveries. And its gonna get worse😱😱😱😱.
“Legacy Auto”, this moniker itself has to be a joke.
They better get off that high horse and go back to selling cars at affordable prices like they used to… a VW Polo for 40k? Used to be 20k before it went hibrid…
It costs 25-30к.
Polo new around £21k here and uk is expensive.
Hybrid is Fool’s Gold. Designed to force you back to the dealership model. And let’s put a high tension cable next to a fuel tank connected to a powerful battery. What could possibly go wrong?
The fact that they still sell Polo explains perfectly why they are in trouble.
They charge a few panels, maybe another engine alternative and people clap their hands at the brilliant new Polo. They have done nothing really innovative for decades. Nothing 😢
@@hansj5846 many want polo and golf as they are
Who do you think will solidify themselves as a clear #2 in the US?
Legacy automakers can get stuffed, both BWM and Merc have manufacturing plants in my country but retail price for locals costs more than exports.
What country are you in?
Mercedes are about to fire 15,000 workers.
When will EV will make dent to Chinese OIL demand? Any data?
According to the Intl Energy Agency China’s oil demand has peaked. It is off 1.3% in 2024 and forecast to be off more (around 5%) in 2025. Two reasons; booming EV sales even amidst an overall slowing economy.
@chsmithins Hope it results in decrease in usage of Oil
Xpeng g9 looks cool..
The numbers you have shown us are brilliant for the CDM EVs, but does this relate to profits? I remember watching videos a while back where the Chinese government were taking cars directly off the factory line, registering them, then scrapping them, just to artificially inflate sales figures. There were fields of brand new cars stacked three and four high, just because the CCP wanted the rest of the world to see them as the best in the world for domestic EV sales.
Very many will avoid anything to do with Musk, and MAGA in general.
I think this trend is becoming predictable. I'm guessing the industry will have already factored into their forecasts.
Polestar?
The information you provide is useful if limited to far east / Australia, while the news is bad for legacy manufacturers there is no actual physical presence in Europe that substantiates your news. china is a massive car market so these number mean nothing to those outside china given that there is no public number on what the ceiling number is when car sales will flatten.
They probably will flatten but what do you expect to happen to European manufacturers in the meantime? VW just got rid of 15,000 workers and look set to let go of more. Mercedes are rumoured to be about to get rid of 15,000 and the Porsche-Piech group are in plenty of trouble. Those are just the headlines. Stellantis own Peugeot and FIAT and are in plenty of trouble.
As Sam has often mentioned, China traditionally has provided a large share of legacy manufacturers' profits. With those gone (as well as the financial bath those manufacturers are going to take from writing down their now-useless Chinese factories), it'll be a massive financial hit on these companies, many of which carry a lot of debt. And don't expect the Chinese manufacturers to just stay in Asia. In time they'll flood western countries with cheap, high-quality EVs that the legacy manufacturers can't compete with, and won't have the financial resources to develop a response for.
Can't feel sorry for the legacy car makers, they deserve it. They moved all their manufacturing to China, gave them all the tools, and now the Chinese are just making cars on their own (with legacy designers at the helm). How could they not see this coming?
The American car companies could have moved to India or other developing countries, but it is very unlikely that these countries could have performed as well as China. Not a boast, this is a fact.
Your assessment is not wrong, but not exactly correct. Foreign legacy manufacturers gave China the know how of ICE tools, but China leapfrogs and surpasses them with the EVs technology.
That assessment is soooo wrong...
These are early days, certainly China has clearly won this game. But certainly this is not the end game. I am sure legacy manufacturers who have been in this game for long, will pull a rabbit out of the hat within the next ten years. Nothing will come out in the social media till such time the top level researchers in the west are completely satisfied with their work and ready to publish their findings. It will all be happening quietly in the background.
@@markuc Your comment is of no value.

EV nightmare... how can American and Japanese brands compete? Since the chip crisis 3 years(?) ago, China found the silk road and caught up with Tesla... and now seems the whole country are patronizing home grown evs.
There are several barriers to accelerating EV adoption, with 85% of Australians identifying one or more
barriers to them purchasing an EV.
The following are the most significant barriers stopping consumers from purchasing an EV
• Half (49%) sighted the upfront cost of an EV.
• 1 in 3 (34%) identified potential limitations in travel
distance.
• Almost 1 in 3 (32%) said lack of access to
charging infrastructure, both at home and on a
trip.
• 1 in 4 identified charging time (27%) and running
costs (25%).
• 1 in 5 (21%) identified journeys becoming more
difficult to plan and/or stressful due to uncertainty
around charging infrastructure on the trip.
• Almost 1 in 5 (19%) identified the performance
and reliability of an EV and not knowing enough
information to make a purchase.
Price war in Australia and those Japanese and European auto makers will also have to cut their price
I am just seeing on the news that a Tesla cyber truck has been blown up outside Trump tower. You think the FBI and CIA between them could be a little bit more imaginative?
Initial law enforcement reports are fireworks and compressed gas cylinders inside it, not commercial or home-made explosives. Still waiting to see exactly what they come up with during the investigation. The State of Nevada does allow year-round fireworks sales in more remote counties, and those include some pretty impressive devices.

@@jacklisk5475 I agree it would be interesting.
Good point about solar. During the day our FIT is now negative figures so supplying to the grid actually costs you money. So rather than charge the Tesla at night like we used to, it now solely gets charged during the day. Once of twice/week. So for one it costs us nothing to charge the car and we’re not paying electricity suppliers for the privilege of supplying to the grid.

Geely not mentioned.
How many of these Chinese companies are actually making a profit on the cars they're selling? That would be an interesting thing to look at.

How reliable is EV charging infrastructure?
Research: EV chargers less reliable than gas pumps
One of the study's main findings, discovered using customized artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on EV review data, is that charging stations in the U.S. have an average reliability score of only 78%, meaning that about one in five don't work.
Infrastruture depends on where you live. In general, terrible in N.America but outstanding in East Asia.
Our home charger (what we use for the vast majority of our mileage) is pretty much 100% reliable.
EV overcapacity had scared our Yellenic Indians who cherish their iconic Oxford style sedans. Jai Hind.

I like your shows/videos, although I still don't expect suitable EV's, that are cheap enough for me at any rate, to be available for someone like me who lives in an apartment, which is not unusual in Germany 🇩🇪 and has limited charging possibilities. I also need a thriving 2nd hand market to afford a car at all and the
EV market here is not even close yet to a level to get me a reasonably priced EV! So I like most people are waiting and watching, the EU's move adding tariffs to Chinese EV's is not helping much either? So we live in hope, especially as I live on a main road, having to suffer the noise from the revving engines at the traffic 🚥 below my kitchen/Living Room window! 😮 Do you ever talk to MYGUY Australia, I think he's based in Sydney, but his views on EV's are the total opposite to yours, would be an interesting debate anyway? 🤷🏽♂️😆
That's is in " Chyna" where it's all made their locally and affordable. Once its imported to other nations, even some ASEAN nations the price is like 3 to 5 times higher no thanks to taxes and tariffs. The cars models and brands you guys get in Aus or NZ is even cheaper than in most ASEAN nations, so consider yourself " lucky" still.
Gonna assume Viking owns stock in the brands mentioned in the title …NIO conveniently left off
All these companies dropped sales dramatically at the start of 2024. Why?
I've watched a little of the Viking's content and it's always about unstoppable EVs. I guess he's talking about the Aussie market, cos in the UK it doesn't look like this at all. Loads of folks here seem to be hanging onto their old ICE cars, few seem to want new vehicles whether ICE or EV as they're just too damn expensive. The EV infrastructure just isn't anywhere near ready over here, but that's to be expected in the useless UK. I guess EVs will improve over the years but they're not very attractive to individuals yet, mainly fleet company cars. The labour government here has no chance of getting 80% of folks into EVs by 2030.
You have already pointed out the main obstacles for EV sales in UK: the "useless UK govt." failed to build UK's EV charging Infrastructures enough to cater for EV buyers / users… It's a Chicken🐔 vs Eggs🥚 which one appears first? basic kind of problem…
Petrol and Dieselcars in practicallity banned in China... What to expect?
No they’re not.
@@thethirdman225 3,5 year waiting time to get licenceplates for one.... (that means banned)
Operating costs of EVs are about half of ICE cars and purchase price is about the same, and ICE cars pay 10% sales tax while EVs don’t, which would you choose?
@@manimalworks7424 I have 7 ice cars... and your facts wrong about chinese..
@@sub7up. what’s wrong?
Can shares be brought in any of these china companies?
It would be a huge risk investment. I would never invest in any Chinese company
@@Mart538- high risk may equal high reward, having some of a portfolio in this category is a good idea.
Question: Still early in the race, but which Chinese car companies will be the leaders in 5 years?

Very funny that you report growth about all shitty brand … but no word on Nio growth
The Chinese government's support for its EV industry aims for global dominance, impacting markets like Europe. This makes the results of recent EU EV audits particularly noteworthy: Tesla emerged as the most transparent, securing better tariff rates than even some EU companies receiving Chinese subsidies and demonstrating less transparency.
Haha. EU "audit". Yeah right. Tesla is not and will never be a chinese company. I think anyone with brains knows why Chinese car companies are discriminated. You westernerd thinks the rest of the world are idiots. Just like how African dictators are dragged to ICC but not wedtern leaders is hanged as war criminals despite America and its allies continously invading other countries since ww2
How good is the day to day operating software on Chinese or other manufacturers vehicles compared to Tesla ? How does the others self driving compare to Tesla? Do all have over the air updates like Tesla ( one of the best features)?
My second EV Xpeng G6 is so much better than the Subaru Outback it replaces.
Tesla quarter results show drop. ruclips.net/video/9KeaSYpzLQc/видео.html
Sam, I asked chatgpt for the biggest EV brands in China and they recommended your video.
Avatr is selling in Panamá, a car dealership that sells Dongfeng vehicles that are probably one of the best sellers here, recently had that Avatr logo in the window, I thought it was a new Dongfeng model but now I realize it is a whole new brand
In Canada above 49 degrees latitude, for 6 mo. through winter solar capacity factor averages 3%. In December 1% or less. 744 hours in December. Intermittent, low angle sun, bad weather, snow it makes equivalent full power for maybe 8 hours in the month. Where do you think our winter power will come from the other 95% of the time? You live where the sun does shine, you forget about where it doesn't and keep pumping this pro EV, unfortunatly those who don't understand buy in and we spend millions if not billions on something that can't work for us.
