Mazda officially opened the order books on its new Mazda EZ-6 EV and EREV versions of the car in China yesterday. And the starting price? It’s under $25,000.

Co-developed by Mazda and Chinese state-owned Changan Auto, the EZ-6 was one of two new electric offerings that debuted back in April. The other was a CX-5/0-sized crossover called the Arata, but the EZ-6 seemed closer to production, with a promised on-sale date later this year.

There’s a century old urban legend that the Chinese once copied a western steam engine design, which had a dent in its exterior from shipping, and included the dent in the copy’s design.

Sorry can’t do, we already heavily subsidize the procurement and protection of oil exploration and drilling, oil production companies and oil states. Moving some of those $$ to domestic production of new or green technologies is a non starter.

I was quite interested until they said it’s in China. Hopes dashed.

The US has a massive tariffs on Chinese EVs, ranging from 50-100%

This car will probably be around 40k+ in the US
