The French say no to Chinese electric cars

BYD front panel

The Mondial de l'Auto 2022, 89ᵉ edition, took place in Paris Porte de Versailles, after the cancellation of the 2020 edition. However, it is with far fewer stands and halls that we find it. Many foreign brands are missing, but not the Chinese ones. Present in large numbers to show off China's new electric cars, the French will not be unanimous in their opinion.

A lack of quality

Some French people don't want to buy a Chinese electric car because of lack of confidence in the quality of the vehicle. In fact, the quality of Chinese products is often called into question, but what if it were the same for our car? Why take the risk of owning a defective car when you can have a French quality car for a slightly higher price. Then there's the question of vehicle efficiency and even customer service.


Nevertheless, Chinese Chinese electric cars have proven their quality many times over, but also their efficiency. Remember that the Dacia Spring which belongs to the Renault is produced in China. But also that some Chinese electric cars, such as the Ora Funky Cat, have passed the Euro NCAP test and been awarded 5 stars. This test is based on the vehicle's safety, assessing not only its crashworthiness, but also its power-assisted driving.

Promoting the French automotive market

This Paris Motor Show was accompanied by an announcement from French President Emmanuel Macron. The ecological bonus 2023 will be €7,000 for the most modest households and not €6,000 as at present. However, it was mentioned that this bonus could be reserved for electric cars produced in Europe. So you'll have to choose between benefiting from the ecological bonus if you're eligible, or opt for a Chinese electric car. In addition to an increase in the bonus, it also means an increase in the number of electric cars produced in Europe.one million electric cars by 2027.

This would be good for the European and French economy, as it would help local manufacturers to develop even further.
