As we all know, in recent years, the development of domestic new energy vehicles has been very rapid, not only in terms of sales and market share, but also in the core technology of new energy vehicles, intelligent cockpit, high-end driving assistance level, but also many European car companies can not match. From the crotch pull of the comprehensive products of electric vehicles launched by many European car companies in China, we can see this gap, so at least in the domestic market, the new energy vehicles of European car companies have no chance to overtake in a short period of time.
However, it is often said that the nature of capital is to expand, and after gaining a certain market share in the domestic market, and at the same time having obvious advantages in technology and product design, it is an inevitable trend for domestic new energy vehicles to go to overseas markets. And a clear prospect is that if there are no trade barriers, it may not be long before many Chinese-made new energy vehicles will form a strong impact on the European market, making the new energy models of those old European car companies embarrassed.
So for the arrogant Europeans, it is difficult to accept that in the field of automobiles, they are "conquered" by technologies and products from the East, so the French took the lead! French President Emmanuel Macron said that France will become the first country in Europe to reform the distribution of car bonuses, a small revolution we are leading at the European level. We are not protectionists, France will not close the market, but we do not want to use French taxpayer funds to accelerate the industrialization of non-European countries". Although the above paragraph is righteous and awe-inspiring, but discerning people can know at a glance, is this differential treatment? Or, in order to protect the weak new energy vehicle industry in France and even Europe, all powerful "foreign enemies" are kept out!
However, to some extent, opponents from Europe are trying to weaken the competitive advantage of Chinese-made electric vehicles by reducing or eliminating subsidies, which is not another affirmation of domestic new energy vehicles? In the past many years, Europe has hardly set restrictions or trade barriers for Chinese-made fuel vehicles, for the simple reason that in the field of fuel vehicles, domestic cars and those old Europe can not compete head-on, so even if the door is open, it is difficult for self-owned brand fuel vehicles to gain competitive advantage in the European market.
But now, as we said above, domestic new energy vehicles stand at the forefront of the global industry at many levels, including a complete new energy vehicle industry chain, supply chain, and rapid iteration at the level of intelligent and advanced driving assistance. Perhaps globally, the only brand that can really compete with domestic new energy vehicles at the level of mass production vehicles is Tesla, and traditional brands such as Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Peugeot Citroen and so on in Europe have almost no competitive advantage.
So when we saw on social media that Macron called on Europe to follow the French practice and impose subsidy restrictions on Chinese-made new energy vehicles, we agreed with the statement of a netizen, who said: They are in a hurry! "Decent" Europeans have smelled danger even when domestic new energy vehicles have not yet entered the European market on a large scale. If Chinese-made new energy vehicles are allowed to enter the European market significantly, it is likely that those European-made electric vehicles will be "destroyed", because consumers have the right to choose better products.
Therefore, although the scale of Chinese-made new energy vehicles entering the European market is not very large, some keen Europeans have realized the coming crisis, because many of them are soberly aware of how big the gap between European car companies in the new energy vehicle sector and China-made new energy vehicles and American brand Tesla is. If free trading is carried out in a completely competitive way, then the end of these "old European" car companies may be very bad, which has already begun in the domestic market.
Therefore, isn't this attitude of France also a disguised affirmation of domestic new energy vehicles?
