MG 4 Electric, also known as Mulan in China, is a pure electric hatchback first unveiled in June 2022. It is being built on a next-gen vehicle platform, allowing MG to use bigger batteries while keeping the weight low. Thanks its lightweight body, MG Mulan can be able to run from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 sec. 
According to SAIC-owned MG, its latest EV will feature industry&#8217;s thinnest battery pack, with a height of only 110 millimeters (4.3-inches). This special battery uses vertically placed lithium-ion cells, to increase battery-level energy density further.
<h2>MG4 EV Launch Date</h2>
SAIC will start building MG4 EV / Mulan in the second half of 2022. Electric hatchback will first be delivered to Chinese customers. MG 4 Electric&#8217;s European launch is due in Q4 2022. There will be two options with two different battery packs, 51-kWh and 64-kWh respectively.

MG4 EV

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>

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" />

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.
<h2>How to Adjust Regenerative Braking on Tesla Model Y/3 and Model S/X?</h2>
<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

A new Chinese-made fully-electric MG is coming to UK and Europe soon. The electric hatchback, codenamed Mulan, will be called MG4 EV in the west. Pricing has finally been revealed by the automaker. MG4 EV will cost £25,995 in the UK. European pricing will also be around €30,000.
Related Article: <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/mg-mulan-mg4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MG4 EV Specs, Price, and Comparisons</a>
MG4 EV is a beautifully designed hot-hatch built by Chinese automaker SAIC. The company has been teasing about another affordable European EV for a while. It made its first debut with a different name, Mulan, in China in June 2022. The western version&#8217;s unveiling followed soon after. According to MG UK&#8217;s official website, MG4 EV will have two trim levels and two different battery pack options; MG4 EV SE, MG4 EV SE Long Range, and MG4 EV Trophy.
