Visiting a suburban district in Shenzhen alley Longgang. In one random mega mall they have so many luxury EVs. This one mall has AITO, Tesla, NIO, Li, and some other brand I forgot. Quite interesting. The biggest change to me since I last visited in 2017 isn’t the EVs, but electric scooters. They are everywhere now since gas scooters were banned before. Half of these scooters seem to be doing food delivery. I mean when the delivery fee is $1 USD and lunch is $4 why not. A lot of these scooters are under $300 and I’m tempted to get one…One thing that I’m kind of confused about is charging infrastructure though. At least where I’m staying, the condos don’t have any charging and I rarely see public charging. I asked a NIO store about it and of course I forgot they at least said you can battery swap. Brands that stick out to me are BYD for the more luxury looking ones and how all fleet/taxis/busses are BYD, Zeeker, LI, xpeng, aito, NIO . 6 years ago I remember BYD used to give public factory tours but it seems that’s still closed for now.
