Xpeng could join other Chinese EV makers, including BYD and Chery, trying to use local production to minimize the effect of EU tariffs.

    so how does he define “low labor risks”?

    probably weak unions and protections as usual?

      The article doesn’t say it, but probably a combination of:

      • Low risk of strikes
      • Relatively low cost of labor
      • Availability of skilled employees

      My guess is that this means that if they are going to produce in europe, they might settle down in slovakia, czech republic or poland.
