    Wasn’t there an article last year that said that Chinese EVs have sent so many vehicles to Europe, they couldn’t get them out of the shipyards? Did that get resolved?

      Yes, I recall reading about that issue as well. Chinese EV exports to Europe surged so rapidly that there were logistical challenges, including congestion at shipyards and ports. The sudden influx overwhelmed the infrastructure, leading to delays in getting vehicles from the docks to dealerships.

      To address this, various measures were implemented, including improving port facilities, streamlining customs procedures, and increasing the efficiency of transportation networks. While such large-scale logistical issues can take time to fully resolve, there has been significant progress in alleviating the bottlenecks. The European market remains an important destination for Chinese EVs, and both Chinese manufacturers and European logistics providers have been working diligently to ensure a smoother flow of vehicles.

      Continued monitoring and infrastructure investments are key to preventing such issues from recurring as the demand for EVs continues to grow.
