in recent years, in order to achieve carbon emission targets and promote sustainable development, the greek government has accelerated the development of green transportation. since last year, some chinese brands of electric vehicles have successively entered the greek market and have been favored by consumers.

the northern sides of kifisia street, the main north-south transportation line in athens, are the areas with the highest concentration of car sales in athens. all major car brands in the world have exclusive stores here. since last year, many electric vehicle brands from china have settled in the park, attracting an endless stream of consumers.

car sales consultant maria: people come to the car showroom in the store every day, and more and more new customers come to view cars and test drives. customers are becoming more and more aware of the brand and are more and more interested in our cars.

in greece, electric vehicles are still in their infancy, with a market share of only about 5%. dense population, lack of infrastructure such as charging piles, and low replacement rate among people have all become factors that restrict the development of electric vehicles. but in recent years, due to high gasoline prices, many greeks have begun to turn their attention to electric vehicles.

bakasias, a citizen of athens: i have done a lot of market research and visited many stores. chinese cars have excellent mechanical systems, great designs, and relatively reasonable pricing. they will also be very advantageous if they sell second-hand cars in the future.

one of greece's largest car dealers said that they are willing to represent the sales of chinese electric vehicles in greece precisely because they believe that chinese electric vehicles can provide greek users with better choices. in the first eight months of this year, the cumulative registration volume of various chinese brands in greece has exceeded 2,500. for greece, a country where electric vehicles have just started and the market capacity is small, these figures are very impressive.

kauris, chief strategy officer of xiyelidis automobile company: this has nothing to do with price, but with very advanced technology, which makes chinese cars very successful in greece and even the entire european market, so we are very happy to introduce them to greece.

headquarters reporter yang mingjiao: in addition to cars, 250 electric buses purchased by the greek government from china have also been put into use in athens and the second largest city thessaloniki this year. this has greatly improved the outdated and backward appearance of buses in greek cities and improved people's travel experience.
