这篇报道主要内容是介绍中国电动汽车产业的发展情况，并指出大多数中国电动汽车品牌没有进入美国市场。报道提到中国已经成为全球最大的电动汽车市场，并列举了多家中国电动汽车制造商，例如比亚迪蔚来小鹏等，介绍了他们生产的电动汽车车型和特点，例如长续航里程快速充电技术等。但报道也提到，由于种种原因，大多数中国电动汽车品牌没有在美国市场销售。 对于这篇报道的评论： 这篇报道较为客观地介绍了中国电动汽车产业的发展情况和一些知名电动汽车品牌，但同时也存在一定的偏见和误导。首先，报道可能过度强调了中国电动汽车品牌没有进入美国市场这一事实，可能暗示中国电动汽车品牌存在质量问题或其他问题而无法进入美国市场，而实际上可能有各种原因导致汽车品牌没有进入某个市场，例如市场定位发展战略等。此外，报道也忽略了中国电动汽车品牌在全球其他市场取得的成功，例如在欧洲亚洲等市场的销量增长。总体上，这篇报道有一定价值，但需要注意其可能的偏见和误导，应该全面客观地看待中国电动汽车产业的发展。

Chinese-made electric vehicles aren’t widely available yet in the United States — and may never be after the Biden administration moved to quadruple import tariffs on them, to 100 percent.
President Biden said the move was necessary to protect American workers and businesses after years of “unfair trade practices” by China that give the nation a dominant role in global manufacturing.
China’s rise in EVs has been eye-popping. Chinese consumers, who favored Western autos in much of the gas-powered era, are flocking in droves to domestic EVs. China’s automakers are also exporting floods of the vehicles to Europe, Southeast Asia and other markets, where they’ve gained market share through their low prices and quality metrics that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk has praised. Chinese automaker BYD, which stands for Build Your Dreams, is neck-and-neck with Tesla as the world’s top-selling EV maker.
Chinese EVs are still a rarity on U.S. roads, but with some Chinese automakers eyeing more production in Mexico for possible export to the United States, the Biden administration wanted to move quickly to protect U.S. industry. Here are some of the more popular vehicles that China exports.
1. Polestar 2
This high-end vehicle is one of few made-in-China EVs available for sale in the United States. Polestar is headquartered in Sweden and controlled by Chinese billionaire Li Shufu, founder of the automaker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. Polestar manufactures its vehicles in China for export to the United States, Europe and other markets. The Polestar 2 starts at about $50,000 in the United States.
2. BYD Seagull
The EV that best sums up China’s threat to global automakers is the Seagull, a compact hatchback from BYD that starts around $10,000 inside China. BYD charges about double that price in Latin America, where the tiny car, known as the Dolphin Mini in some markets, is available in Colombia, Brazil and Chile. BYD is planning to sell a version of the Seagull in Europe for less than €20,000 ($21,700), a company official told the Financial Times last week.
3. BYD ATTO 3
The electric crossover is sold in Europe, Singapore, Costa Rica, Thailand, India and other markets. After price cuts early this year in Germany, one version of the vehicle was selling for around €37,990 ($41,300) — more than twice the price inside China, according to Rhodium Group.
4. MG4
One of China’s largest automakers, state-owned SAIC, bought the British MG brand in the early 2000s. The electric hatchback MG4, manufactured in China, entered the European market in late 2022 with a starting price of € 28,990 ($31,000).
5. Volvo EX30
Chinese automaker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group bought Sweden’s Volvo Cars in 2010 and now makes the electric Volvo EX30 in China. The car has a list price starting at £33,000 ($42,000) in Britain. Volvo says it will start manufacturing the vehicle in Belgium next year, for European sale.
6. Neta V-II
China’s Neta Auto recently unveiled this new EV at the Bangkok International Auto Show. The automaker is hoping to build on its sales of the older Neta V, which sells in Thailand, Indonesia and other markets at prices ranging from $15,000 to $20,000.
