Leapmotor B03X 2025 — $10K Chinese EV Reaching Europe for Under $30K

Import Context

The Leapmotor B03X (sold as A10 in China starting at ~$9,600 USD) represents the most direct threat to affordable EV options in the US market. Leapmotor routes EU sales through a Stellantis joint venture with assembly in Poland to avoid EU tariffs — no equivalent workaround exists for the US market, where 100% EV tariffs would push the retail price past $25,000.

Sold as A10 in China from CNY 65,800 (~$9,600). Sold as B03X in EU from ~€27,000 (~$29,800). Assembled in Poland to avoid EU Chinese EV tariffs.
