0:00.0	Welcome back to the podcast. Today, the Buick Electric L7, the Fangcheng Bao off-roaders and the Zika 7X.
0:06.8	And if you stay tuned, later in the show, I'll tell you about the Chinese Nissan pickup, which could be coming to a market near you.
0:13.8	Welcome to EV News, China, the podcast dedicated to the world's largest electric vehicle market.
0:18.8	Each day, I bring you the latest headlines, insights and analysis from the heart of China's booming EV industry and decode how fast-moving
0:26.1	developments in the east are shaping the global EV landscape. We'll start with Buick,
0:31.4	and their new vehicle, the Buick Electra L7, deliveries have begun. This is an extended range EV. It's a mid to large sedan offered in five
0:42.4	variants and it starts at 174,000 yuan. That's $23,800 and it goes up to $30,000. I'd say it's a large
