Chinese EV upstart Zeekr heads to Europe​

I admit I've never heard of this brand.. they've got some new brands popping up every day.

Too many vendors are making EVs without having after sales support, this will leave a bad taste to the consumer if they dissolve after few years.

I admit I've never heard of this brand.. they've got some new brands popping up every day.

It's actually a lot less brands now. A few years ago, there were hundreds of Chinese brands with something like 700+ EV products. Then the government made some law that knocked out all the brands except for a handful that consolidated what was left behind by others who didn't make it. Basically, diluting the entire industry from dozens of manufacturers to a handful that are, I guess, easier to manage.

Interestingly, the law change favored Tesla in China against domestic brands. Thus, Tesla became one of the survivors, even though it is American. Though, I don't think Tesla will survive there for long (unless it's sold to the Chinese).
