Core Viewpoint - The significant price disparity between electric vehicles in Taiwan and mainland China highlights structural issues within Taiwan's automotive market, particularly in the new energy sector [1][4][22].

Consumer Sentiment - Taiwanese consumers express frustration over high vehicle prices, with some describing the experience of purchasing a car in Taiwan as akin to being "robbed" [4][5]. - The perception of high prices is supported by data showing that the average price of new cars in Taiwan is among the highest globally, despite lower average wages compared to other high-price countries [25]. Market Dynamics - The Taiwanese automotive market is heavily influenced by government policies that create barriers to entry for mainland Chinese vehicles, which are seen as a threat to local manufacturers [12][15][26]. - The local automotive industry faces challenges from the increasing presence of affordable electric vehicles from mainland China, which could disrupt the market and profit margins of Taiwanese manufacturers [14][22].
