CHINESE EV SPECIAL! 
 
We’re in conversation with Michael Dunne, one of America’s leading car industry commentators, in this special weekday episode powered by MOTORS.
Michael joins us from his home in Southern California, fresh from visiting the mega 2025 Consumer Electronics Show, the global tech event increasingly used by OEMs (especially Chinese OEMs!) to showcase their latest EVs. He gives us a rundown of what caught his eye.  
 
As the host of the influential Driving With Dunne podcast, Michael is widely regarded as one of the leading authorities on the Chinese car industry, so we quizzed him on his views on their plans for the US and Europe, which brands have particularly impressed him in terms of rollout, which are the most likely to succeed and the ramifications for dealers here in the UK and across the world.
 
Michael also explains why he believes the Chinese OEMs are now leading the EV revolution, leaving legacy brands in the rearview mirror.
We also sound him out on the future of Sweden’s troubled Northvolt battery production venture and more!
