Why This Matters: Dual Tracks of Chinese EV Dominance

China's EV market thrives on polarization—Wuling Bingo S proves mass-market affordability (post-subsidy ~63,800 RMB) wins in tier-2/3 cities (core growth engines), while Zunjie S800 captures luxury with tech (85 NPS). Combined with global suppliers like LG advancing AD/EV integration, it highlights:

• Market Stats: Bingo S's 24k debut month vs. Zunjie's 10k in 200 days; lower-tier cities > tier-1 in Bingo sales.
• Trends: Safety (Bingo's zero-fire record), intelligence (Zunjie HarmonyOS, LG AI), and value drive adoption.
• Competition: Challenges BYD in mini-EVs, imports in luxury; boosts China's 60%+ global EV share.

Looking Ahead

Expect Bingo S to sustain 20k+/month via network expansion, Zunjie to hit 4k/month amid luxury surge, and LG's CES reveals to influence 2026 models. China's EV ecosystem—from mini-commuters to flagships—sets global benchmarks, pressuring legacy automakers to accelerate electrification and autonomy.
