Nio Onvo L60: a powerful competitor to the Tesla Model Y

Nio Onvo L60

Is Tesla Model Y finally getting a serious challenger from China? Meet the Nio Onvo L60 — a “budget” family electric SUV that is clearly aiming straight at Europe.

Onvo is Nio’s new sub-brand focused on practical, affordable EVs. L60 keeps the tech, range and comfort that Nio fans love, but cuts the price to go after mainstream buyers who were previously looking only at Tesla Model Y.

In our new breakdown on AutoChina we look at design, interior, real-world range, battery swap option, safety, and why European media are already calling Nio Onvo L60 one of the most interesting Chinese EVs of 2025.

Curious how it compares to Model Y on price, space and charging? Dive into the full story here:

EU tariffs are shaking Chinese EV plans in Europe — what’s next?

Chinese-made cars in the US market

The game just got a lot harder for Chinese electric brands in the EU. New EU tariffs on Chinese electric cars are forcing BYD, MG, Geely & others to rethink everything: model launches, local plants, and even “sweet spot” price segments.

Will Europeans pay more for Chinese EVs? Кто actually wins from this mini trade war — Brussels, local automakers or smart buyers, who ловят скидки?

I analyzed how price tags are changing, which brands are accelerating localization, and why Europe will still be unable to ignore Chinese electric cars in the next 5–7 years. A full analysis is available in a new article on AutoChina.blog:

Zeekr 7 GT Review — Ultimate 800V Charging & WLTP Range

Meet Zeekr 7 GT — the sleek shooting brake (plus the 007 sedan sibling) aiming squarely at Europe. Our new Zeekr 7 GT review focuses on what buyers actually care about: charging, range, price, and head-to-head results versus Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2. Sharp, practical, zero fluff.

Highlights
• 800V architecture: ~10–11 min 10–80% on 400 kW+ DC.
• WLTP target around 600 km+ (variant-dependent).
• Dual-motor AWD up to 475 kW; efficient RWD Long Range.
• 15.05″ OLED + AR-HUD, 8295-class infotainment, OTA, advanced ADAS.
• Practical shooting-brake cargo, low Cd ≈0.198.

We added clean spec tables, EU price estimates (from ~€57k RWD, ~€69k AWD Performance), and straight comparisons vs Model 3 Performance for acceleration, range, charging, and warranty. Want a grown-up “value EV” that still looks savage? This one’s worth a test drive.

BYD Charging Australia — Complete Guide for 2025

The electric revolution in Australia is being powered by BYD, and if you own an Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal, or the new Sealion 6, you need a solid strategy for fast and affordable charging!

We’ve cracked the code on where to find the fastest speeds and how to pay the lowest prices on the road. Forget range anxiety—we’ve got the essential tips to make charging your BYD effortless across the country.

What You’ll Discover in Our Complete 2025 Guide:

  1. Network Deep Dive: We break down Australia’s major charging players: Chargefox, Evie Networks, and the newly accessible Tesla Superchargers. Learn which network offers the best value per kWh and how to use their tap-and-go payment options. Did you know a Tesla membership could save non-Tesla owners money?

  2. Model-Specific Specs: Maximise your charging stops! We detail the crucial specs for every model:

    • BYD Atto 3: Real-world DC peak (around $88 \text{ kW}$) and the optimal 10–80% timing ($\sim 45 \text{ min}$).

    • BYD Seal: How to hit the top $150 \text{ kW}$ DC peak and slash your road trip stops down to $\sim 35 \text{ minutes}$.

    • BYD Sealion 6 (PHEV): Why public DC charging is a waste of time and when to rely on petrol.

  3. Cost Calculator: Is EV charging really cheaper than petrol? We run the numbers on real Australian routes (like Sydney–Canberra) and show you how charging your Atto 3 at public stations can be less than half the cost of filling up a comparable petrol SUV.

  4. Pro Tips: Learn the charging etiquette, how to avoid queuing, and the best SoC window (10–80%) to minimise stop time and dodge expensive idle fees.

Don’t let confusing networks and high prices slow you down. Get the ultimate strategy for mastering the electric road trip and saving money every day.
