Nezha opened its first African store in Kenya in June and plans to sell its electric vehicles in 20 African countries. In the same month, Xopeng Motors announced that two models, P7 and G9, would enter Egypt at the end of June.
Before that, BYD, Geely, Dongfeng, Great Wall and other Chinese car companies have also been scrambling to enter Morocco, South Africa and other African countries to lay out the layout. At the same time, in some African countries such as Kenya and Senegal, the introduction of electric vehicle assembly lines from China is also accelerating.
As African governments have introduced policies and measures to support the development of the electric vehicle industry, actively promote the growth of electric vehicle production and sales and localized research and development production, compared with the main production of fuel vehicles in Europe, the United States and Japan car companies, Chinese electric vehicles are increasingly favored by the African market, according to the data reported by the People's Daily. In 2023, China's new energy vehicle exports to Africa increased by 291% year-on-year.
