Rather surprised by the sales of the MG 4 , a Chinese make - they bought the remains of MG Rover (MG=Morris Garage) when they went bust in the UK.

It looks rather nice for a subcompact SUV - reminds me a Corolla based Cross.

I'm not surprised at all. MG4 is the best bang-for-the-buck BEV you can buy in Europe.

To me more surprising is that Fiat 500e was higher in the ranking, despite costing more and having smaller battery.

MG4 also has Xpower model, which costs the same as a base model of VW ID.3, but does 0-60 in 3.5s (it's not a real sports car, but it's still ridiculous).

The buy Price tag is not the only thing that people are looking when buying a car.

People do care about maintenance and after sell service. In France, you can be pretty sure that anywhere you are, you are almost sure to have a Stellantis garage within 25km of your home. For MG... probably within 150km.

People care (maybe too much?) about that. This is especially true for an EV under warranty that your random neighbour garage will refuse to touch because he miss the know-how on it.
