This is the 2nd best looking EV car imo, only the Lynk&Co Z10 is better.

At that price, you’d go for a Maserati or a Porsche, regardless of the charging technology – both brands offer an 800V architecture on the GranTurismo (the Grecale is in the process of adopting it, and the Levante Folgore is due next year) and the Taycan Cross or Macan, but not some obscure, ugly Chinese car. They would have been better off trying to buy a British brand like McLaren Automotive or Invicta for want of anything better, keeping Denza for China and setting up an office in Europe.

Dead on arrival. Trying to compete against the Porsche Taycan, but without any of the heritage, proven sports performance, brand recognition, and refinement. Fast charging and horsepower alone aren't going to convince people to pay MORE money and get a Porsche knockoff instead of the real thing.

115k€ ... LOL
If I had that kind of money to waste, and on an electric car, I'd buy a Porsche Taycan

Thanks for mentioning the countries where they launch the brand.

There you go. 120.000€ for an electric car with no pedigree no brand image and just plain ugly. In addition to that the infrastructure for 1.5kW charging is not there.
It's more expesive than the best electric car the Tycan and by a long shot.

It's a good-looking Shooting Brake. Looking at the European car market, the overall number of passenger vehicles isn't really growing. They will need to take away market share from other brands. That's a tough call.

Their advertised "flash charging" is impressive. But it needs a rather complex setup. Liquid cooled cables and huge batteries on-site to support such charging speeds. XPeng and other manage 12 minutes with the currently available chargers. That's already too fast for a proper coffee break. Thinking of the complex procedure to lease or buy land to build these dedicated chargers the time line might be subject to adjustment. In their home country that is way easier.

The number of installations seem to be a bit off in the article. If they plan to install 3000 in Europe alone they will have more than 6000 worldwide. In China they plan to have 20,000.
