Music: edamame by bbno$ and Rich Brian dominic for the music button Designed in Hong Kong, powered by lithium harvested straight from Sichuan province, and built using "voluntary labor" from Xinjiang province, the LZ.1 finally brings China to the front of affordable hypermodern EV manufacturing. Isn't slavery great? The Hong Kong Motor Corporation's latest project is the Legacy LZ.1. The LZ.1 hopes to reinvent HKMC's main brand by replacing older models that took heavy "inspiration" from mid-range European manufacturers. HKMC also hopes to push the Legacy brand upmarket to create space in its internal lineup for cheaper, EV-only brands. The LZ line in particular introduces new purpose-made architectures to build electric vehicles off of, rather than having the company simply shove batteries in the trunk of existing gasoline-powered models. HKMC hopes that the LZ.1 will be a strong seller against rivals such as the Brandt Veronha Recharge and Bullone Y, attempting to provide "higher quality for similar prices", as stated by a company spokeswoman. Initial customer reviews indicate much higher build quality compared to other Chinese rivals. Trade wars between Europe and China, however, mean the LZ.1 will only see limited release in Europe for the time being.
