"Compared with NIO and other competitors, my target market should be several times larger than it, which means although Honzonauto is on par with them in terms of monthly sales, I think they arehe's doing better than me. Only when Honzonauto exceed theirhis sales by twice or three times will we be considered as good as theyhe areis," said Zhang Yong, co-founder and CEO of Honzonauto.
ForTo date, for the startups of NEV nowadays, heading for high-end is the proper direction in the future to grow bigger and stronger. But reversing the low-end brand image cannot happen overnight.
