I am so tired of watching brand after brand introduce reasonably priced, well-finished EVs, only for them to remain limited to other markets across the world. The Wuling Bingo Plus is yet another model that remains trapped on the other side of the world. However, this one feels worse, because Wuling is indirectly part of GM, which means there’s more of a snowball’s chance in hell that it could potentially be exported out of China. This video is from automotive presenter Sean, of the YouTube channel, Telescope.

China Is Important to GM
GM has several joint ventures and brands in China, one of them being Wuling. Wuling sells models developed with GM and SAIC, including EVs. The Wuling Bingo is fighting neck and neck with budget offerings from BYD, selling more than 200,000 units in its first nine months of sale. The Bingo Plus adds more capability to the standard car and proves that GM does know how to build a competent cheap EV, just not for the US or Europe.
