The Mazda EZ-6 may be Chinese in origin, but it's finding its way to Europe. It's pretty obvious by now that the Japanese car manufacturers are severely behind in the electric vehicle game. Most of waiting for for battery technology to advance for lower production costs while others are still hedging their bets on hydrogen or hybrid powertrains as the mainstream option for now. Regardless of the approach there are some markets where significant market share is being lost without effective competition from the Japanese brands and so a response must come. For Mazda, that response is to introduce their EZ-6 electric sedan to the European market as soon as possible. The Mazda EZ-6 is a 4-door developed to rival the Tesla Model 3 and it shares its engineering with the Deepal SL03. Deepal is a sub-brand of Changan, with whom Mazda has a joint venture in China. The two companies also have an agreement on EV Export Cooperation, which could explain the EZ-6's existence further.
