    Well, I feel misled. The graphic shows a Volvo as a Chinese manufactured vehicle.

    Sales of Chinese made EVs in Australia

    • Tesla - 46,116
    • BYD - 12,438
    • MG - 5,928
    • Volvo - 3,949

    They’re counting Tesla as a Chinese EV.

        In China. But the majority of Teslas are manufactured are in China, and no one really considers Teslas “Chinese cars” or “Chinese EVs”.

              It’s misleading based on your arguably less important criteria, but OK

                Wow, you think Teslas are “Chinese EVs”. You’re literally the first person I’ve encountered to think so. Also why lead into an article with a graphic of the least selling vehicle?

                  In Australia they’re all manufactured in China. So it’s a Chinese car.

                  Cars in high developed economies like Australia have until recently been mainly manufactured in highly developed economies like EU, Japan, US etc.

      Because the Australian Teslas and Volvos are made in China. It’s a Chinese EV. Volvo is owned by a Chinese Company.
