Well, I feel misled. The graphic shows a Volvo as a Chinese manufactured vehicle.

Sales of Chinese made EVs in Australia

  • Tesla - 46,116
  • BYD - 12,438
  • MG - 5,928
  • Volvo - 3,949

They're counting Tesla as a Chinese EV.

Because the Australian Teslas and Volvos are made in China. It's a Chinese EV. Volvo is owned by a Chinese Company.
