Chinese electric vehicle brands are a top priority at Licarco because the EV market has become increasingly dominated by pure electric Chinese cars. Last year, China sold more EVs than the rest of the world. BYD, NIO, ORA, and Geely are some of the biggest Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.
Even though China has been producing millions of EVs for years, American drivers wouldn&#8217;t be able to buy one. It&#8217;s because vehicles made in China are subjected to a %27.5 import tariff in the US. Due to heavy taxation, Chinese brands had not prioritized the US auto market in their global plans. But that&#8217;s changing quickly, as more and more Chinese EV marques are expanding their reach towards western markets, including United States.
In this article, we gathered a list of Chinese EV brands and their expansion plans. We will update this post when an announcement is made regarding any Chinese EV maker&#8217;s global expansion.

Leapmotor, an emerging EV brand backed by Dahua Technology, has plans to enter the European market in 2023. The brand officials confirmed that Leapmotor would open showrooms in Europe. To finance its globalization plans, Hangzhou-based carmaker filed its first IPO that worths around $1.5bn at Hong Kong Exchange.
The brand has already started to sell electric vehicles in Turkey and Israel, starting with the compact hatchback called <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-t03" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leapmotor T03</a>. The first EV to be showcased in Europe will probably be the electric sedan C01. With its sleek design, cell-to-chassis technology, and impressive performance figures, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-c01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leapmotor C01</a> will attract a lot of customers.
<h2>BYD</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-10382" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-byd-yuan-plus-range-cltc-1024x716.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="524" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-byd-yuan-plus-range-cltc-1024x716.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-byd-yuan-plus-range-cltc-300x210.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-byd-yuan-plus-range-cltc-768x537.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-byd-yuan-plus-range-cltc-1536x1075.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-byd-yuan-plus-range-cltc-2048x1433.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-byd-yuan-plus-range-cltc-1568x1097.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
BYD first entered Norway with the full-size electric SUV called <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2022-byd-tang-ev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tang EV</a>. Over the next months, China&#8217;s biggest EV manufacturer will start selling vehicles all over the world. BYD EVs are already available in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. European countries where BYD will start operations before the end of 2022 are the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, and Sweden.
BYD will export these three electric vehicle models to Old Continent; compact electric SUV <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-atto-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BYD Atto 3</a>, electric sedan <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2022-byd-han-ev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BYD Han EV</a>, and BYD Tang EV. India, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam will also be subject to BYD&#8217;s global expansion, as official statements confirmed.
Unfortunately, BYD has no plans to enter the American market yet. But there is a possibility of Chinese EV maker using its new premium brand, which reportedly will deliver a $145K+ luxury EV to the market, to attract customers from United States.
<h2>NIO</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-12976" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-1024x648.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="475" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-300x190.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-768x486.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-1536x972.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-1568x992.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs.jpg 1878w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
NIO is one of the first Chinese automakers, which officially confirms its entry into the US market. NIO-branded EVs will be on sale in the US starting in 2025. Large-size SUV ES8 is currently being tested on US roads. There is no official timeline for the US launch, though.
Chinese EV marque will also start selling EVs in Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The next move on the global plans is to enter more European markets such as Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, and the Czech Republic. NIO is hoping to sell electric vehicles in 25 countries by 2025.

Which Chinese EV Brands Are Coming To United States and Europe?

Top 15 EV Charging Networks in the US (Updated on Jan. 2023)

Tesla vehicles are famous for their in-car entertainment experience. There are a bunch of games available for drivers to enjoy while charging their vehicles or spending some time inside the car. You can even use a game controller for better experience. A couple of games will also require you to connect a controller to play.
In this article, we created a guide to help you easily connect your Xbox controller to your Tesla Model 3/Y.
<h2>A Complete Guide to Connecting an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y</h2>
If you want to play games with an Xbox controller on your Tesla, use a data cable (not a charge-only USB cable that lacks the data transfer function) to plug your controller into your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen via the USB-C ports in the center console or the USB-A port in the glove box. If you prefer a wireless connection, or your controller cannot be connected to your Tesla via cable, just follow our guide down below.
Step 1. Buy a wireless adapter/dongle for pairing your Xbox controller. <a href="https://amzn.to/3HCaTTv">8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3jyyigK">MAYFLASH Magic NS 2</a> are two of the most popular choices.
Step 2. Plug the wireless adapter into your Tesla via USB data ports. Use a USB-A to USB-C adapter if necessary. Please be aware that newer Model 3/Y vehicles don&#8217;t have USB data ports in the center console. You will need to use the USB-A port inside the glove compartment.
Step 3. Put your wireless adapter into pairing mode. 8Bitdo&#8217;s pairing button is on the bottom, whereas the Magic NS&#8217;s pairing mode can be activated by pressing the black button on the side until the light goes green and blinks fast.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-32404" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration.png" alt="" width="755" height="425" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration.png 755w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration-300x169.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px" />
Step 4. In order to put your controller into pairing mode, first press the Xbox button for one second until it lights up. Then, press and hold the circular pair button located on the back of the controller for three seconds.
Step 5. Once the wireless adapter and Xbox controller ared paired up, the lights on both of these devices will stop blinking. You will see a notification message on your Tesla&#8217;s screen that confirms the pairing.
Enjoy your games!
<h3>My Tesla says the Xbox controller is disconnected. How can I fix it?</h3>
Your wireless adapter might lose the connection between your Tesla and the Xbox controller. You just need to unplug the adapter and plug it into the car again. The controller will be paired with your car in a few seconds. If you experience this issue often, you might need to contact your seller and ask about the wireless adapter&#8217;s firmware update status. Sometimes a small update could fix these disconnection problems.
<h3>Can I connect all Xbox controllers to my Tesla?</h3>
There are numerous reports on people using Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Series X controllers both wirelessly and wired to play games on their Teslas. But some of these controllers are not supported by all wireless dongles on the market. You need to thoroughly research before buying an adapter.

How to Connect an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y? | Complete Guide

Regenerative braking technology is a bliss for the efficiency of <a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">all-electric vehicles</a>. But it takes time to get used to this helpful feature. Sometimes it gets annoying or makes no sense on some occasions. There is an option to turn it off, but things get complicated with <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a>. Let us explain.
If you want to turn off regenerative braking on your Tesla, you probably won&#8217;t find any disabling option in the menu. Because turning off regenerative braking is not possible on a Tesla. It is also impossible to adjust the regen on Tesla vehicles built since Q2 2020. Tesla Model S/3/X/Y vehicles built before that date can still be able to offer adjustments. You just need to navigate through the main screen and go to Driving, then change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; to &#8216;Low&#8217; for reducing the level of regenerative braking.
Newer Tesla vehicles come with standard level regen as default. There is no &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; adjustment option anymore. So, why wouldn&#8217;t Tesla allow its drivers to adjust regenerative braking? The main reason is that the vehicle range is heavily affected by not being able to recuperate the energy you otherwise lost to heat, etc by pressing the brake pedal. Other automakers agree with Tesla as well. According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://electrek.co/2018/08/08/audi-e-tron-quattro-electric-suv-range-regen-braking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audi</a>, regenerative braking can extend the range by up to 30% on average. Soon, every new electric vehicle on the market will probably remove the option to adjust regenerative braking for the sake of efficiency.

<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32384" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-300x169.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-768x432.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425.webp 1088w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
If you drive a Tesla vehicle built before Q2 2022, your car&#8217;s main screen comes with an option to adjust regenerative braking. You just need to go to settings, then select the &#8216;Driving&#8217; menu from the left and change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; option to &#8216;Low&#8217; for partially turning off the regen.
You won&#8217;t be able to turn off this feature. There is, however, a way to heavily limit the effects of regen braking. Here&#8217;s how:
<h3>Why Does Regenerative Braking Limited on My Tesla?</h3>
If you live in a cold area or your battery is fully charged, your Tesla vehicle would warn you about the regenerative braking is being limited. That&#8217;s because the battery is unable to receive the energy from the regen system and the battery&#8217;s management system temporarily turns off the regenerative braking feature. It might take up to half an hour for your vehicle to recover from that. In order to reduce the negative effects of this limitation, you can enable an extra feature for automatically applying the brake pedals instead of regen braking. Just go to Controls &gt; Pedals &amp; Steering, then turn on the &#8216;Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited&#8217; option.
<h3>Does Regenerative Braking Work on Icy/Snowy Roads?</h3>
Not being able to turn off regenerative braking might sound dangerous on icy/snowy roads, but Tesla has a solution for this. In 2022, Tesla adjusted the traction control software of its vehicles and added a hidden snow mode. Its main function is to better handle regen braking adjustments on icy roads and snow. Take a look at the video down below for more detail.

Israel has become one of the most EV-friendly countries in the Middle East. Regular ICE vehicles are subject to high taxation (up to 83 percent, including purchase tax and VAT), while there is only a 10 percent tax on fully-electric models in Israel. Auto-importers are exploiting the unbalance between two kinds of cars, and the first brands to benefit from this are, of course, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/best-chinese-ev-manufacturers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers</a>.
People in Israel are not only facing heft taxation when buying a vehicle, but they also have to burden 62 percent taxation when filling up their tanks. Thus, low tax levels on electric car purchases and tax-free electricity give this country no other option than to adopt EVs.
We realized the rising popularity of EVs in Israel and prepared a list of budget-friendly Chinese electric vehicles in order to help our visitors from Israel easily compare affordable EV options.

9 Affordable Chinese EVs Available in Israel

MINI

The Cooper 3-door hatchback, which will be entirely electric and arrive in 2024, was revealed by MINI. The EV and its ICE-powered counterpart will be on sale together. However, the platforms for the two vehicles will differ.
Spotlight Automotive, a joint venture between Great Wall Motors and the BMW Group, created an EV-specific architecture on which the next MINI will run. According to Autocar, a single electric motor will provide 181 horsepower (135 kW/184 PS) in ordinary form and 215 horsepower (160 kW/218 PS) in the SE model. A JWC hot hatch with even more horsepower will release.
<h2>MINI Will Have Two Distinct Battery Sizes: 40 kWh and 54 kWh</h2>
There will be two distinct battery sizes. Each has a capacity of 40 kWh and 54 kWh, giving an electric range of at least 386 km/240 miles. The stated specifications are an upgrade over the previous MINI Cooper SE&#8217;s 181 horsepower (135 kW/184 PS) and 235 km/144 miles of range from a 32.6 kWh battery.
The vehicle maintains its predecessors&#8217; three-door body style and a small footprint while continuing the progressive stylistic approach. It gains wider tracks, a slightly longer wheelbase, reduced overhangs, and larger oval-shaped headlamps than the current model.
A bigger free-standing spherical OLED touchscreen situated in the middle of the dashboard will enhance the interior of the next MINI. While the majority of functions will be integrated into the infotainment system. There will also be physical controls on the center console and steering wheel. Additionally, conventional ignition keys will be available for both ICE and EV models.
The fancy head-up display of the new Cooper EV will replace the outdated traditional digital instrument cluster of the current generation, boosting the interior&#8217;s minimalist design. Sustainable and animal-free upholstery alternatives will eventually be available for the whole MINI series.
<h2>The New Cooper EV Will Cost Over $35,500</h2>
A recent report from Car Magazine says that manufacturing of the next MINI Cooper EV may go to Oxford, UK, alongside the ICE-powered models. Previously, there was speculation that production would take place in Jiangsu, China. Although it is not yet certain, the BMW Group will make a public statement.
MINI CEO Stefanie Wurst said the new Cooper EV will cost over £30,000 ($35,500). Ahead of its ICE-powered equivalent, which will follow in July 2024, the new model will make its premiere in May 2024. In addition to the compact hatchbacks, MINI is also working on the next-generation Countryman SUV. The model will go on sale in February 2024. And the Aceman, an all-electric vehicle will follow in 2025.

The electric car Amperino was developed to be used for short distances in the city. According to local press, the Bursa-based startup, which was entitled to receive an incentive of 66 million Turkish liras (~$3.6 million) through Turkish government&#8217;s R&amp;D support initiative, says that this amount could reach as high as 300 million liras (~$16.5 million).
The team that developed a fully electric three-person compact car, was incorporated in 2019 and took place in Turkey&#8217;s one of the largest technology development zone called Bilişim Vadisi in 2021. As of today, Amperino has made the final design of the domestic micro car and started to work on moldings to prepare initial production trials. The company stated that they are in cooperation with Turkish government-owned battery cell maker ASPİLSAN. Amperino&#8217;s Chairman of the Board Yakup Canseven said their goal is to exhibit their first electric car at the 2024 Geneva Motor Show and get the first production-ready vehicle off of the band in 2025.
<h2>Amperino Will Use In-House Developed Hub Motors</h2>
There has been no sharing about the design of the vehicle that Amperino will launch just yet. As it can be understood from the concept designs, the company will enter the market with a small EV, which will be classified as L6/7 in Europe. Its dimensions will be similiar to compact EVs such as XEV YOYO and Citroen Ami.
Amperino will equip its car with an in-house developed hub motor. This motor is produced in such a way that it can be integrated into the wheels of the vehicle, minimizing the power loss from the engine to the wheel, and contributing to the range of the vehicle, thanks to its low weight.

Lunaz Applied Technologies, together with Lunaz Powertrain and Lunaz Design, is a division of the Lunaz Group. The latter continues the endeavors that initially piqued sector interest some stunning electric conversions of classic Jaguar, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce models. The company takes obsolescent vehicles that are no longer in running condition and are &#8220;under threat&#8221; of being lost completely.
Lunaz has been doing with commercial trucks is highly probable to be far less contentious while that may elicit strong reactions from car collectors and those who want to preserve classics in their original form.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-11147 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/lunaz-upcycled-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/lunaz-upcycled-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/lunaz-upcycled-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/lunaz-upcycled-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/lunaz-upcycled-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/lunaz-upcycled-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/lunaz-upcycled.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Lunaz upcycled recycling truck &#8211; based on Mercedes-Benz Econic garbage truck
<h2>Cheap And Less Carbon Footprint</h2>
According to Lunaz, it is modular but still brand agnostic. It will mix and match existing components to develop the best solution for each truck. It claims that its transformed trash trucks are &#8220;significantly cheaper&#8221; than buying a brand new electric truck. They save 80 percent of the embedded carbon (related to manufacturing) by choosing this type of truck over a new electric truck. Supposing they have roughly equivalent efficiency, this could result in a substantially lower environmental impact over the life of the vehicle.
For varying route lengths, the upcycled electric garbage trucks use modular battery packs ranging from 275 kWh to 400 kWh. Peak torque is 5,162 lb-ft/6,99 n-m, and perhaps in the tradition of Rolls-Royce, Lunaz does not release a horsepower figure, instead stating that it is &#8220;fast enough of it to block traffic forming behind it.
Indoor specifications, the highly developed trash truck will have a 12 inch/30 cm tool screen as well as two 10 inch/25 cm display screens. One for camera display devices and the other for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. There&#8217;s also a wireless charging tray. And Lunaz claims to have used similar materials from its upcycled Bentleys in the UEV interior.

<h2>Under Warranty</h2>
This type of commercial electric truck has already been done previously, though perhaps not in a relatively similar way. Lightning eMotors in Colorado begins with used commercial trucks, vans, and motor coaches. Additionally converts them to all-electric vehicles.
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is the most common fuel for newer garbage trucks in the United States. 
So far, as a new model, the Mack LR Electric garbage truck has made inroads in the United States. New York City purchased seven demonstrators from the aforementioned company last year after using one in 2020. DAF has been testing all-electric garbage trucks in the Netherlands.
The Mini Recharged program, in which Mini itself oversees the conversion of classic Mini Coopers to electric drive, comes the closest. So far, that program is only available in the United Kingdom.
Lunaz claims its trucks are under warranty as new. The level of detail here may well be the difference as it scales up for its home market of the United Kingdom and possibly beyond.
