Russians Turn to Chinese E.V.s as Fuel Shortages Bite
Original: Russians Snap Up Chinese E.V.s as Ukrainian Attacks Make Fuel Scarce

Sales of Chinese-made E.V.s are rising as petrol and diesel become harder to find in parts of the country, a shift that is reshaping Russia's car market and deepening its reliance on Chinese manufacturers.
Why now: Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities have caused fuel scarcity, driving a rapid shift in car-buying habits.
