Why the different names?
Chinese brands often sell one car under several badges: a Chinese name at home (五菱晴空, Wǔlíng Qíngkōng) and one or more export names abroad. Renames happen to avoid trademark conflicts, to fit a global naming system, or because the domestic name does not translate well.
Domestic name means 'clear sky'; exported as Air EV.
