Sorry for the very late reply.

"China exported more than 2 million electric passenger vehicles between January and May"

Now, with the awesome deal with Iran of a "Big, Beautiful, not-a-nuclear-nonproliferation Treaty" blown out the window, along with the rest of the hot air emitted from our idiot in the oval office, oil prices are going through the roof again.

I am very glad to hear that affordable electric cars are available in England. This is a giant step forward.

I'm not glad for the reason, but I'm also glad that countries around the world are accelerating a transition away from petro based energy.

Here in the US, GM is announcing a new coal powered car, with the slogan: "Bring back the Stanely Steamer".

While all Chinese EVs are banned.
