Electric mobility

The used electric vehicle market is currently like a good designer handbag sale - prices are crazy low, but the quality remains sky-high. Some models that cost over €60,000 new are now available for a good €25,000. So a great electric car for half your money!
Tesla is pushing the boundaries... literally. The Model Y will now be available with three rows of seats, which means that electric mobility in China will be redefined: one where mom, dad, kids, grandma, grandpa, and a parrot in a golden cage can travel in the car at the same time. So - the extended Tesla Model Y!

When the Chinese launch an SUV that beats Porsche in power, offers 1,100 km of range, and leaves your wallet almost untouched, we know it's a serious game. The Omoda 9 SHS is just another SUV that is making a strong attack on the European home of premium brands.
When a Chinese tech giant decides to give the Maybach and Rolls-Royce a run for their money, we know something is about to emerge that will push the boundaries of luxury. Fasten your seatbelts, the Huawei Maextra S800 is here.

The Denza Z is like a meteor coming from the Far East to disrupt the peaceful evenings in Stuttgart, Modena and Zuffenhausen. And believe me, the guys at Porsche are already very nervous...
Auto Shanghai 2025 leaves no doubt – China has become the epicenter of the electric automotive world. While Europe is hustling, the Americans are hustling, and the Japanese are quietly manufacturing in China, Shanghai is buzzing with the electric future. It is now the center of the automotive world. And Europe is only third, right after the USA.
