THE ESSENTIALS
Understanding Chinese EVs
EREV
Extended-range electric vehicles use an onboard combustion engine to generate electricity. Architectures and regulatory classifications can vary.
PHEV
Plug-in hybrid vehicles combine a chargeable battery with an internal combustion powertrain.
CLTC vs WLTP vs EPA
Range ratings from different test cycles are not directly comparable. Always check the cycle and market.
Regional variants
Battery sizes, charging hardware, safety features, connectivity and warranty terms can differ by country.
Pricing
China-market prices do not include all taxes, tariffs, homologation costs or local distributor margins elsewhere.
