Who Will Save China's Coolest EV Brand?

Published 2024-03-22
Chinese EV brand HiPhi looks to be heading for the scrap heap unless someone swoops in to save it. Is that possible? Who could it be? And what exactly would they be getting for their money?

    Hiphi is probably the coolest EV brand EVER, will be very sad to see them go away like this
  • @Eric_Garrison
    Good job guys. You really made something of yourselves after being guests on the Blue Sky Coming show 😂
  • @undisclosedthai
    My answer is "no one", because every major Chinese EV makers are create their special EV brands and models (such as Zeekr, Yangwang or Aion Hyper), so they have no need to acquire the HiPhi.

    There needs to be a consolidation of Chinese new energy brands, there are simply too many. The provincial governments ongoing support of these brands located within their territory as a form of public works and local employment has become unsustainable 😮

    I love the HiPhi Y. I was ready to buy one the last time I was in China. It will be sad to see it go.
  • @WilliDurpel
    a video about why byd is so sucessfull in this tuff market would be nice
  • HiPhi should be saved as R&D because of it's innovative, exotic designs & functions w/c could be used by other assemblers.

    If they are smart enough, they would get the chinese govt help to open a factory somewhere overseas in a dwveloping country and sell shares to that nations govt and people..hemce makimg that brand part private chinese , govt chinese and other nation private and or govt owned....make a deal that their local banks have favorable loan rates to purchase those vehicles....propose this to current BRI nation members

    Hiphi gets the most views and groupies without the funds to buy. Toyota gets the most sales... private buyers do not want all the useless gimmicks, they want a car that has proven still to drive around in 10 years and 100.0000 miles... personally I do not fancy either...

    this 2 persons should go to jail!
  • @liamporter1137
    Hiphi makes the EV too fancy and complicated. It's not going to be reliable.
