Mazda officially opened the order books on its new Mazda EZ-6 EV and EREV versions of the car in China yesterday. And the starting price? It’s under $25,000.

Co-developed by Mazda and Chinese state-owned Changan Auto, the EZ-6 was one of two new electric offerings that debuted back in April. The other was a CX-5/0-sized crossover called the Arata, but the EZ-6 seemed closer to production, with a promised on-sale date later this year.

That would be cool news if I was in China.

I was quite interested until they said it's in China. Hopes dashed.

It'll be a EV available 'globally' not just China

The US has a massive tariffs on Chinese EVs, ranging from 50-100%

This car will probably be around 40k+ in the US

Oh boy!!! Oh, China….. crap

Hey car makers, when do we get a cheap EV?

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As soon as our gov starts an auto company and covers 50% of the cost.

Sorry can't do, we already heavily subsidize the procurement and protection of oil exploration and drilling, oil production companies and oil states. Moving some of those $$ to domestic production of new or green technologies is a non starter.

Co-developed by Mazda and Chinese state-owned Changan Auto

Enlight me cause the car literally looks dented

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's a century old urban legend that the Chinese once copied a western steam engine design, which had a dent in its exterior from shipping, and included the dent in the copy's design.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 0 points 2 weeks ago

The jokes about the Chinese only copying western tech are now about as out-dated as those about the Japanese were in the 90's.

Its so that you don't have dent in the car in the future

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Chinese state-owned

Oh no...

Not likely to come to the US

Oh well.
