The Chinese car market is experiencing a new wave of price reductions, with BYD leading the charge by lowering prices on several models. Other car companies have followed suit, intensifying the competition. However, for consumers, the idea of “electricity cheaper than gasoline” seems forced. Hybrid cars are seen as a compromise between the low cost of fuel cars and the low operating costs of electric cars. The majority of consumers are still waiting for the true arrival of “electricity cheaper than gasoline.” It seems that only a true electric champion can complete this task! On March 3rd, GAC Aion launched the AION Y Plus Star, priced at 99,800 yuan (13860$)! This truly marks the arrival of “electricity cheaper than gasoline,” overturning the previous phenomenon of “electric cars being more expensive than gasoline cars of the same level.” Consumers can now enjoy a higher value of pure electric travel at a lower cost.
