Dongfeng will take on Europe after launching its Nammi Box EV in Switzerland. Starting at CHF 21,990, or about $25,500, the low-cost Chinese EV is already one of the most affordable electric cars in Europe.
Despite new EU tariffs on Chinese EV imports, the Nammi Box could be one of the first vehicles built at Dongfeng’s potential Italy plant.

Earlier today, BYD launched its new 2025 Song Plus EV, starting at $21,000 in China, as the latest low-priced electric car to hit the market. The EV price war in China is driving automakers like Dongfeng to look for overseas growth.
