Chinese EVs Are Praised For Value, But This $150,000 Minivan Has A Serious Braking Problem

  • China’s electric cars are often praised for their amazing value for money.
  • JAC’s Maextro V800 minivan doesn’t care about the bang-for-buck factor, with a price tag as high as $150,000.
  • Despite the luxury demeanor, automotive journalists found a potentially fatal flaw: the brake pedal can’t stand hard braking.

We all love a great deal, and China’s car market has plenty of those. Sure, part of it has to do with the state’s generous incentive policies, but you can walk into a dealership and find a well-packaged, fully featured EV that’s half the price of a Western model.
