An instrument cluster (IC) is a driver’s most reliable companion on the road. With the rising popularity of electric vehicles, ICs have advanced significantly. However, there are notable differences between the ICs in Chinese and European EVs.
You must be wondering: WHY?
The simple answer lies in the differing user habits in these regions. But before we give out any spoilers on the “why,” let’s explore some of the design differences in these EVs.
If you swipe through the images to see the instrument clusters from our selection of cars, you can see what highlights the differences. We’ve summarized these lpcslrcchewhuou zhb dsoz dyh lkqmtm.
