Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?

[Gibbo2286]

A nice DPD van, a Maxus.............would have been an LDV Sherpa if the politicians had given the company a loan, now Chinese built from LDV designs.

Not out yet but here's the new Nissan electric Micra.

On my way to collect my car, this swept past me into the car park

Carefully parked in a heap of fly tipper's rubbish.

MG Cyberster apparently.

Who Makes MG Cars and Where Are They Made?
MG cars are designed and engineered in the UK, with major input from the MG Motor UK Technical Centre in Longbridge, Birmingham—a nod to the brand’s British roots.

However, most MG vehicles are now manufactured in China, in SAIC’s state-of-the-art production facilities. These factories produce millions of vehicles a year to high international standards, supplying MG models to markets across Europe, Australia, South America, and beyond.

Not sure what it was but had 'LD' on it and something longer at the back. Unfortunately I can't remember what exactly.
I'm wondering if it was a 'Leapmotor' that Stellantis is mixed up with.
Either way it was very ugly, which prompted me to take a look.
It resembled this Yangwang abomination.

I won't be buying one.

Possibly a LDV D90 https://www.ldvautomotive.com.au/vehicl ... 5-d90-suv/ Part of a Chinese company.

Possibly. Should have taken a photo, except I had left my phone at home.

My younger brother worked for LDV he was the union works convener, I told him his lot would cripple the company and they did, it closed down and the Chinese picked up the bits. Now imported as Maxus and doing well.

I was at B&M in Calcot today (work related), and I spotted this;

Unfortunately this guy doesn't say at the start that the Ferraris are EV conversions but otherwise interesting enough.

Another ugly heap, no idea what exactly it might be.
Saw another with just "600" (or perhaps "6000") on the bonnet. It was behind a fence in a car park, too lazy to walk around the fence and into the car park for more details.

The gov MOT check site has it as a Jaecoo 5 luxury ev. It is another car made in China, this one by the state owned Chery automobile co. China seems to be flooding the UK with electric vehicles. Supposed to be a compact suv. Probably part of China's plan to take over the world.

I have just got this brand new Peugeot e308 GT Premium on March 9th 2026

[PaulC5]

Just read on the BBC news site that the top selling car in the UK is the Jaecoo 7, a medium size luxury suv available as electric hybrid or petrol. Max price seems to be £34k. Apparently this year 15% of new cars are Chinese.

Another monstrosity. There is a Lexus just on the edge on the left that is almost as bad.
