In this episode of the Discover EV Podcast, Louise Woodhams speaks to Jon Wakefield, General Manager of AION Auto UK, about the Chinese EV brand’s ambitions for the UK market and what it will take to convince British buyers to take a chance on a relatively unfamiliar name. We discuss AION’s backing from the huge GAC Group, its UK launch strategy, dealer and servicing plans, residual values, the Great 8 ownership promise, battery safety and how models such as the AION UT and AION V are being positioned against increasingly strong electric-car competition. Jon also talks about future products, the importance of adapting cars for UK drivers, the challenge of building trust in new Chinese EV brands and where AION hopes to be in the years ahead.
