Chinese electric cars are causing chaos in Europe's ports – nobody wants them

New electric cars from China are piling up by the thousands around Europe's ports. Officially because it is difficult to find transport to get them on. Unofficial because it's hard to find buyers.

The Chinese say that their electric cars are just waiting to be transported to Europe.

And that this is why the cars fill up well in several European ports. Among other things in Antwerp in Belgium.

But according to the Financial Review , the Chinese brands are selling worse than expected in our broad categories. And that causes the cars to pile up.

According to Norwegian TV2, some of the cars stand for months in European ports, because they are transported on to dealers or waiting customers.

– The distributors are increasingly using the port's parking lots as a depot, says the management at the Port of Antwerp.

The biggest of the Chinese car brands have not yet wanted to deal with the accumulation of their cars in Europe's ports. But it is, at least when you look at the Danish sales figures, only a few of the brands that have a hold on the Danes.

A brand like Xpeng claims to have delivered cars to the first 1,000 Danes. Read more about it here .

While others bet hard on leasing, several car brands fail completely. Among other things. is, despite great arm movements, a brand like Nio only succeeds in selling two cars in Denmark this year.

The Danish boss was also fired back in March. Only shortly after every third employee in Denmark was fired. Still, the brand, which focuses on battery replacement technology, denies that it is on its way out of the country. Read more about it here .
