> dangerous or polluting

IIRC more than half of cars sold in China are EV or PHEV. I am receptive to learn that there are PHEVs that are too polluting to be sold in the west, but I would love to see the data.

There'd be lots of PHEVs which don't meet Euro 7. I doubt anyone is bothering to try to meet it for anything not sold in Europe.

I'm sure even some companies who plan to sell in the EU will have to update their models to address regulations that haven't taken effect yet.

Euro 7 takes effect in a couple of months. For practical purposes, that means that anything on sale in Europe already has to comply; no-one’s going to launch a car on the basis that any they don’t sell by November become a waste product.

Isn't it true that Euro 7 starts taking effect in a few months, but doesn't cover most cars until late next year?
