Chery intends to localize the production of electric vehicles in Russia

Chery sees the need to localize electric vehicles in Russia and it is negotiating accordingly with local production sites. This was reported to the Chinese Cars portal by the press service of Chery Avtomobiles Rus, by adding that at this stage the Russian office is studying consumer wishes, on the basis of which a decision will be made about Chery electric models that will be presented in the Russian market.

Earlier, Chery announced plans to expand the model range in Russia with cars with electric engines in the next two years. Recall that Chery's electric car range in China includes currently seven models: Little Ant (EQ1), Ant, Tiggo E (Tiggo 4), Arrizo E (Arrizo 5), Tiggo3xe (Tiggo 2), eQ and eQ2. Among them, one of the most popular is the EQ1 compact car, which was officially presented in 2017. The evolution of the EQ1 continues: at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2021, Chery unveiled two concept cars, the EQZ and EQX.

Note that the first Chery electric cars have already reached Russia - the company brought to our country two Tiggo e crossovers with a power reserve of about 400 km, although so far only for marketing purposes.
