  • The carmaking giant has entered the fray against Tesla by launching an EV it describes as a vehicle to excite rather than commute in
  • Conventional carmakers are upping the ante in EVs and mounting a challenge to Tesla, says Yale Zhang, managing director of Automotive Foresight

Zhejiang Geely Holding, one of China’s biggest carmakers and the owner of Sweden’s Volvo Cars, has entered the fray against Tesla by launching an electric car it describes as a vehicle to excite rather than commute in.

The Zeekr 001 car, a four-door sedan with a driving range of 700km (435 miles), is priced at 281,000 yuan (US$43,098), a little higher than the Shanghai-made Tesla Model 3’s starting price of 249,900 yuan.
It will offer air suspension that automatically adjusts ground clearance, and frameless automatic doors that open when a passenger approaches, and close behind them.

But would you buy a car from a commie? I'd stay away, if only in response to their human rights abuses.
