How are Chinese brands doing?
MG (SAIC Motor) holds a 2.3% market share, while BYD sits at 1.26%.
Other Chinese brands fall under “Other”, with the largest likely being XPeng, Leapmotor and Polestar.

Better than I expected! Official Mercedes CLA EPA is 374 miles with an 85 kWh pack. Worse efficiency but better range than previous IONIQ 6, I think EPA is still out on the 2026 but should be a reduction over 2025 IONIQ 6 due to testing tweaks and 77.4 kWh pack, expect 84 kWh heads to heads for ‘27
Part of my frustration with lazy and deliberately jilted reporting is the conversations I have with folks as a result of it.
“The new CLA gets 500 miles of range, that’s awesome, they’re really advancing battery tech”
Calmly explain for 10 minutes no, not 500, and worse efficiency than old IONIQ 6

I really don't care about the EV4 sedan, but news the EV3 is still on for the U.S. market is intriguing, again, waiting for some e-GMP.s model to get confirmed and initiate production in Georgia to get really excited for the more affordable side of things.
The Kia EV4 could be back on for the U.S. if the tariff situation stabilizes, but an electric pickup looks less certain, and gas-model price hikes are likely.
