China's electric cars are becoming slicker and cheaper - but is there a deeper cost?
Theo will be responding to reader comments about this article between 12pm and 1pm today. Go to the comments section at the bottom of this page to share what you think about the rise of these more affordable EVs.
In China, they call it the Seagull, and it has looks to match. It is sleek and angular, with bright, downward-slanting headlights that have more than a hint of mischievous eyes about them.
It is, of course, a car. A very small one, designed as a cheap city runabout – but it could have huge significance. Available in China since 2023, where it has proved extremely popular, it has just been launched in Europe with the name Dolphin Surf (because Europeans apparently aren't as keen on seagulls as Chinese people).
When it goes on sale in the UK this week, it's expected to have a price tag of around £18,000. That will still make it, for an electric car on western markets, very cheap indeed.
It won't be the outright lowest-priced model on offer: the Dacia Spring, manufactured in Wuhan jointly by Renault and Dongfeng, and the Leapmotor T03, which is being produced by a joint venture between Chinese startup Leapmotor and Stellantis, both cost less.
But the Dolphin Surf is the invasive species that has long-established brands most worried. That is because the company behind it has been making ever bigger waves on international markets.
BYD is already the biggest player in China. It overtook Tesla in 2024 to become the world's best-selling maker of electric vehicles (EVs), and since entering the European markets two years ago, it has expanded aggressively.
"We want to be number one in the British market within 10 years," says Steve Beattie, sales and marketing director for BYD UK.
BYD is part of a wider expansion of Chinese companies and brands that some believe could change the face of the global motor industry – and which has already prompted radical action from the US government and the EU.
It means once-unknown marques like Nio, Xpeng, Zeekr or Omoda could become every bit as much household names as Ford or Volkswagen. They will join classic brands such as MG, Volvo and Lotus, which have been under Chinese ownership for years.
The products on offer already encompass a huge range, from runabouts like the tiny Dolphin Surf to exotic supercars, like the pothole-jumping U9, from BYD's high-end sub-brand Yangwang.
"Chinese brands are making massive inroads into the European market," says David Bailey, professor of business and economics at Birmingham Business School.
In 2024, 17 million battery and plug-in hybrid cars were sold worldwide, 11 million of those in China. Chinese brands, meanwhile, had 10% of global EV and plug-in hybrid sales outside their home country, according to the consultancy Rho Motion. That figure is only expected to grow.
For consumers, it should be good news – leading to more high-quality and affordable electric cars becoming available. But with rivalry between Beijing and western powers showing no sign of subsiding, some experts are concerned Chinese vehicles could represent a security risk from hackers and third parties. And for established players in Europe, it represents a formidable challenge to their historic dominance.
"[China has] a huge cost advantage through economies of scale and battery technology. European manufacturers have fallen well behind," warns Mr Bailey.
"Unless they wake up very quickly and catch up, they could be wiped out."
China's car industry has been developing rapidly since the country joined the World Trade Organisation in 2001. But that process accelerated rapidly in 2015, when the Communist Party introduced its "Made in China 2025" initiative. The 10-year plan to make the country a leader in several high-tech industries, including EVs, attracted intense criticism from abroad, and particularly the US, amid claims of forced technology transfers and theft of intellectual property – all of which the Chinese government denies.
Fuelled by lavish state funding, the plan helped lay the groundwork for the breakneck growth of companies like BYD – originally a maker of batteries for mobile phones – and allowed the Chinese parent companies of MG and Volvo, SAIC and Geely, to become major players in the EV market.
"The general standard of Chinese cars is very, very high indeed," says Dan Caesar, chief executive of Electric Vehicles UK.
"China has learned extremely quickly how to manufacture cars."
Yet competition in China has become ever more cut-throat, with brands jostling for space in an increasingly saturated market. This has led them to hunt for sales elsewhere.
While Chinese firms have expanded into East Asia and South America, for years the European market proved a tough nut to crack – that is, until governments here decided to phase out the sale of new petrol and diesel models.
The transition to electric cars opened the door to new players.
"[Chinese brands] have seen an opportunity to get a bit of a foothold," says Oliver Lowe, UK product manager of Omoda and Jaecoo, two sub brands of the Chinese giant Chery.
Low labour costs in China, coupled with government subsidies and a very well-established supply chain, have given Chinese firms advantages, their rivals have claimed. A report from the Swiss bank UBS, published in late 2023, suggested that BYD alone was able to build cars 25% more cheaply than western competitors.
Chinese firms deny the playing field is uneven. Xpeng's vice chairman Brian Gu told the BBC at the Paris Motor Show in 2024 that his company is competitive "because we have fought tooth and nail through the most competitive market in the world".
Concerns that Chinese EV imports could flood international markets at the expense of established manufacturers reached fever pitch in 2024.
In the US, the Alliance for American Manufacturing warned they could prove to be an "extinction-level event" for the US industry, while the European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen suggested that "huge state subsidies" for Chinese firms were distorting the European market.
The Biden administration took dramatic action, raising import tariffs on Chinese-made EVs from 25% to 100%, effectively making it pointless to sell them in the US.
It was condemned by Beijing as "naked protectionism".
Meanwhile, in October 2024, the EU imposed extra tariffs of up to 35.3% on Chinese-made EVs. The UK, however, took no action.
Matthias Schmidt, founder of Schmidt Automotive Research, says the EU's tariffs have now made it harder for Chinese firms to gain market share.
"The door was wide open in 2024... but the Chinese failed to take their chance. With the tariffs in place, Chinese manufacturers are now unable to push their cost advantage onto European consumers."
European manufacturers have been racing to develop their own affordable electric cars. French car-maker Renault is among them.
At its factory in Douai, in northeastern France, an army of spark-spitting robots weld sections of steel to form car bodies, while on the main assembly line, automated systems mate together bodyshells, doors, batteries, motors and other parts, before human workers apply the finishing touches.
The factory has been making cars for Renault since 1974, but four years ago, the ageing production lines were replaced with new highly automated, digitally-controlled systems.
Part of the site was also taken over by the Chinese-owned battery firm AESC, which built its own "gigafactory" next door.
It's part of Renault's wider plan to set up an ultra-modern EV "hub" in northern France. Mirroring the lean production techniques of Chinese manufacturers, the hub cuts costs by maximising efficiency and ensuring that suppliers are located as close as possible.
"Our target was to be able to produce affordable electric cars here to sell in Europe," explains Pierre Andrieux, director of the Douai plant, arguing that automated processes "will enable us to do that profitably".
But the company is also exploiting something the Chinese brands do not have: heritage. Its latest model, the Renault 5 E-tech, built in Douai, borrows its name from one of the company's most famous products.
The original Renault 5, launched in 1972, was a quirky little everyman car with boxy looks and low running costs that became a cult classic.
The new design, despite being a state-of-the art EV, pays homage to its predecessor in name and appearance, in an effort to emulate its popular appeal.
But irrespective of how desirable Chinese cars are in comparison with European rivals, some experts believe we should be wary of them – for security reasons.
Most modern vehicles are internet-enabled in some way – to allow satellite navigation, for example – and drivers' phones are often connected to car systems. Pioneered by Tesla, so-called "over-the-air updates" can upgrade a car's software remotely.
This has all led to concerns, in some quarters, that cars could be hacked and used to harbour spyware, monitor individuals or even be immobilised at the touch of a keyboard.
Earlier this year, a British newspaper reported that military and intelligence chiefs had been ordered not to discuss official business while riding in EVs; it was also alleged that cars with Chinese components had been banned from sensitive military sites.
Then in May, a former head of the intelligence service MI6 claimed that Chinese-made technology in a range of products, including cars, could be controlled and programmed remotely. Sir Richard Dearlove warned MPs that there was the potential to "immobilise London".
Beijing has always denied all accusations of espionage.
A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in London says that the recent allegations are "entirely unfounded and absurd".
"China has consistently advocated the secure, open, and rules-based development of global supply chains," the spokesperson told the BBC. "Chinese enterprises operating around the world are required to comply with local laws and regulations.
"To date, there is no credible evidence to support the claim that Chinese EVs pose a security threat to the UK or any other country."
Joseph Jarnecki, research fellow at defence and security think-tank The Royal United Services Institute, argues that potential risks can be mitigated.
"Chinese carmakers exist in this highly competitive market. While they're beholden to Chinese law and that may require compliance with national security agencies, none of them want to damage their ability to grow and to have international exports by being perceived as a security risk," he says.
"The Chinese government equally is conscious of the need for economic growth. They're not hell-bent on solely conducting surveillance."

But the car industry is just one area in which Chinese technology is becoming increasingly enmeshed in the UK economy. To achieve the government's climate objectives, for instance, "It will be necessary to use Chinese-supplied technology", adds Mr Jarnecki.
He believes that regulators of key industries should be given sufficient resources to monitor cyber security and advise companies using Chinese products of any potential issues.
As for electric cars powered by Chinese technology, there's no question that they're here to stay.
"Even if you have a car that's made in Germany or elsewhere, it probably contains quite a few Chinese components," says Dan Caesar.
"The reality is most of us have smartphones and things from China, from the US, from Korea, without really giving it a second thought. So I do think there's some fearmongering going on about what the Chinese are capable of.
"I think we have to face the reality that China is going to be a big part of the future."

Buy 5 AI Laggards of Past Month to Tap Solid Upside in the Short Term
The artificial intelligence (AI)-driven astonishing bull run of 2023 and 2024 has suffered major hurdles in 2025. The tariff and trade policies of the Trump administration, the Fed's ambiguity over further rate cuts this year, fears of a near-term recession and the availability of a low-cost Chinese AI platform have unnerved investors. However, the technology sector has lately returned to its northward trajectory. Expectations of a U.S.-China trade deal and the ongoing negotiations with several other major trading partners of the United States boosted market participants' confidence. Despite these positives, several large-cap AI stocks provided negative returns in the past month. Surprisingly, a handful of these stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank currently offer strong price upside potential in the short term. Five such stocks are: Arista Networks Inc. ANET, HubSpot Inc. HUBS, Twilio Inc. TWLO, Adobe Inc. ADBE and Okta Inc. OKTA. Each of our picks carries either a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. The chart below shows the price performance of our five picks in the past month. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Zacks Rank #2 Arista Networks is well-positioned with the right network architecture for client-to-campus data center cloud and AI networking backed by three guiding principles.

Its AI suite also focuses on network security and optimization. ANET's AI-powered cloud networking solutions provide predictable performance and programmability, enabling seamless integration with third-party applications for network management, automation and orchestration. Arista AVA offers augmentation of pervasive visibility, continuous threat detection, and enforcement. The growing demand for 200- and 400-gig high-performance switching products augurs well for ANET's long-term growth. Arista Networks has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 18.7% and 12.8%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 3.6% in the last 60 days. The short-term average price target of brokerage firms for the stock represents an increase of 23.4% from the last closing price of $90.24. The brokerage target price is currently in the range of $87-$130. This indicates a maximum upside of 44% and a downside of 3.6%. Zacks Rank #2 HubSpot provides a cloud-based customer relationship management platform for businesses in the Americas, Europe, and the Asia Pacific. HUBS is witnessing steady multi-hub adoption from enterprise customers in the premium market. Pricing optimization in HUBS' starter edition is leading to solid client additions in the lower end of the market. The integration of HubSpot AI, which includes state-of-the-art features, such as AI assistance, AI agents, AI insights and ChatSpot, is driving more value to customers. HUBS' seat pricing model lowers the barrier for customers to get started with its business and mitigates pricing friction for upgrades. The growing adoption of inbound applications is a tailwind. HubSpot has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 15.4% and 15%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 0.1% in the last 30 days. The short-term average price target of brokerage firms for the stock represents an increase of 37.5% from the last closing price of $544.46.

In this regard, TWLO launched Customer AI technology in June 2023, which powerfully combines customer engagement platform data, generative and predictive AI, and large language models (LLMs) to unlock stronger customer relationships for brands. TWLO is integrating generative AI capabilities across its platform and every customer touchpoint. The company believes that by training LLMs for customers with their data inside its Segment customer data platform, Twilio will be able to help customers enter the AI race multiple steps ahead of their peers. TWLO has also partnered with Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) for Google Cloud to integrate generative AI into the Twilio Flex customer engagement platform. Twilio's initiative to integrate generative and predictive AI technology across its platform is likely to boost its revenue growth over the long run. Twilio enables companies to create personalized, customer-aware experiences powered by OpenAI. Through this integration, Twilio customers will be able to use OpenAI's GPT-4 model to power new generative capabilities in Twilio Engage, its multichannel marketing solution built on the Segment Customer Data Platform. Twilio has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 7.9% and 22.3%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 6.9% in the last 60 days. The short-term average price target of brokerage firms for the stock represents an increase of 10.8% from the last closing price of $116.68. The brokerage target price is currently in the range of $75-$170. This indicates a maximum upside of 45.7% and a downside of 35.7%.

EU imposes medical device procurement restrictions on Chinese firms
The European Commission (EC) will restrict Chinese companies from EU government purchases of medical devices exceeding €5m ($5.7m). The move comes after a report found that 87% of public procurement contracts for medical devices in China were subject to 'exclusionary and discriminatory measures' and practices against EU-made medical devices and EU suppliers. In addition, Chinese entities will now be restricted from around 60% of annual spending within the medical device field, with EU contracting authorities now ordered to ensure that up to 50% of a contract's value is subcontracted to Chinese entities or includes Chinese-origin medical devices. Initiated in April 2024 with the findings published in January 2025, the report guiding the EU's decision marked the first investigation under the EU's International Procurement Instrument (IPI) regulation of 2022, a law created to promote reciprocity in access to international public procurement markets. China is the second-largest medtech market worldwide. The EU's investigation concluded that Chinese policies, including its 'Made in China 2025' economic roadmap, favoured domestic medical devices over imported ones by design. The EC also observed that China's volume-based procurement of medical devices forces bidders to offer the lowest possible price, and that the contracting authorities set a maximum reference price and maximum price margins for bid selection. The commission stated that the European procurement market is still one of the most open in the world, highlighting that Chinese medical device exports to the EU more than doubled between 2015 and 2023. The EC stated that it had made repeated efforts to engage with Chinese authorities regarding the lack of reciprocity and to seek a constructive and fair solution that would enable EU companies to access the Chinese market on terms comparable to those enjoyed by Chinese firms in the EU. However, the EC stated that China had 'so far not offered specific commitments that would address the discriminatory measures and practices identified'. The EC backed the restrictions earlier this month. Writing in state news outlet Xinhua, China's Ministry of Commerce (MoC) opposed the plans, branding the EU's move 'protectionist'. The ministry wrote: 'As responsible major economies, China and the EU should adhere to WTO [World Trade Organization] rules, uphold the principles of fairness, transparency and non-discrimination, address challenges through mutual openness, and resolve differences through cooperative dialogue to jointly safeguard the healthy development of China-EU economic and trade relations.' The EC stated that should China offer 'concrete, verifiable, and satisfactory solutions that effectively address the concerns identified', the IPI framework allows for the suspension or withdrawal of measures. Maroš Šefčovič, European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security; Interinstitutional Relations and Transparency, commented: 'Our aim with these measures is to level the playing field for EU businesses. We remain committed to dialogue with China to resolve these issues.'

Interview: Gianluca Berghella, Armundia Group President & CEO
There are easier markets to target but Armundia's Gianluca is unswerving in his assertion that the firm will prosper in the UK. Berghella tells PBI: 'It is a strategic, natural choice for us, because the UK and London in particular, is one of the most dynamic and advanced and financial ecosystems in the world. If you want to be at the forefront of innovation in banking and insurance, that's the place where you need to be.' Berghella is quick to stress that its UK plans are not merely an adjunct of ambitions to expand its business. For him, its recent UK launch is about bringing Armundia's approach to a market that is vibrant, open to change and offering strong demand for concrete, secure and sustainable digital solutions. And here, Armundia has a track record of success he can highlight. He is just as eloquent when sets out his approach to technological innovation and AI. And with the banking sector undergoing consolidation, he reveals his vision for the future of the industry and how Armundia will position itself. Armundia Group serves a diverse client base in the banking and insurance sectors, offering cutting-edge software solutions and tailored services. Its platforms cater to a broad spectrum of needs, from small family offices and brokers to the sophisticated demands of large financial and insurance institutions. Operating in 11 countries with offices in four European hubs, the company is in a phase of international expansion. This includes ramping up its ambitions to grow its presence in the UK. Says Berghella: 'We primarily target institutions operating in private banking, asset management, wealth management and insurance services. In particular, Armundia works with firms facing complex challenges related to digital transformation, compliance and service personalisation. Our value proposition is based on several elements for modular solutions, zero legacy, cloud and native architecture all backed with a very deep specialist expertise in the financial sector.' This expertise has been built over more than 30 years with notable success in undertaking numerous major projects for leading Italian-headquartered international banking groups. 'We approach each new project with a deep understanding of industry dynamics and a very concrete vision of real operational needs. So we combine technological capabilities, domain knowledge and a people centred approach to build a very tailored solution that generates lasting value. This is our focus.' On AI, he argues that while the technology presents tremendous opportunities, the tech must be used responsibly and with foresight. 'For us, ethics play a central role. We cannot allow technology to drag us into a future we do not want. We must put it at the service of humanity. This means designing tools that simplify peoples lives. That means streamlining processes, enhancing skill and contributing to overall wellbeing. And it means empowering people, not replacing them. It's not about competing with machines but collaborating with them. It's not about replacing the human intelligence but amplifying and protecting it. This is the kind of innovation we believe in and bring to our clients projects every day. This is our mission.' Berghella has sound views on the tech implications of the forecast acceleration in banking consolidation. He says that M&A activity must act as a strategic lever for technological renewal, capable of creating truly competitive structures. Every year, banks invest huge resources in data migration but they do so without rethinking the information systems that determine their effectiveness. He says that this is a strategic error. For a merger to be truly competitive, a modern technological infrastructure is needed, in line with the core business, with operational and market needs, and capable of enhancing the vast wealth of data available. In many cases, M&As focus solely on growth or cost rationalisation, neglecting he believes should be the true driver of change: digital transformation. He says that we are witnessing significant investment in data migration, but without a real rethinking of information systems. The result is that infrastructure remains obsolete, with core banking systems that are over 30 years old and legacy system that are difficult to integrate. 'We believe that banks post-merger must be truly competitive and built on a modern flexible technological foundation that is aligned with the business. It's not just about merging structures. It must be about building an infrastructure that is capable of maximising the bank's information assets. Digital can and must be the engine of evolution. But it cannot work if it's fitting on the old into an old system. A clear structure and a long-term vision is needed, and above all, a strategic collaboration between financial institution and technological operators. 'Financial institutions are undergoing a profound transformation. We are not just talking about digitalisation, but structural change that involves strategies, processes and operational models. Smart technologies which collect data, profile customers and automate end to end processes are not only means to make services more efficient. They are primarily aimed to personalise them, make them more aligned with the real needs of people, more timely and more effective. 'Take advisory services, for example. It is no longer a linear process, but an ecosystem that connects advisors, clients, the digital platform and analytical tools. Interaction is increasingly conversational, natural and integrated into daily life. Ultimately, this revolution has a clear goal: to empower people. The technology we develop is designed by humans for humans. They are meant to amplify capabilities, not to replace them, to enhance the experience, not complicate it. That's why people empowered and people centred is not just a slogan for us, but a clear direction. Putting people at the centre means designing solutions that are intuitive, accessible and adaptable for them. But it also means building together with our client, with listening and a shared vision. True innovation for us improves lives and endures over time. This is our this is our approach and our vision for the future of the technological and transformational activities. For that culture to work, it starts at the top and it starts with you.'
