I don't know about the EU, but in the US, they still only want to push the high-end, luxury bullshit EVs, so yes, lower the quality of the cars. I don't need heated seats. I need to get from a to b.

I wouldn't call that quality, I'd call that feature set (or perhaps luxury). I've heard people using Chinese EVs in China saying that using them long term often is a pain because they're so poorly designed. That's the kind of quality I meant, and also how well they hold up over time.
