A recent study by US insurer, AutoinsuranceEZ found that hybrid cars had the worst fire record, while EVs were the least likely type of car to catch fire. Hybrid cars had 3474.5 fires per 100,000 sale; petrol cars had 1,529.9 fires per 100,000 sales and EVs had just 25.1 fires per 100,000

…because we aren’t allowed. Where would US cars be if the Japanese were kept out. US cars would only last 50,000 miles.

That's true for everything Chinese. They still have a backwards image of the nation despite it being leap years ahead of anywhere else in the world when it comes to EV's, High Speed Rail, Humanoid Robots, Digital banking, etc.

Americans seem to forget that virtually 100% of the electronic products sold in the USA these days have been made in China, such as cell phones, laptop computers, PCs, televisions, and radios.

Made in China using American designs and technology. While American companies chase cheap labor and limited regulation. Apple products are made in China. Does anyone think they were invented or designed there?

You just have to close it as every Tesla owner closes theirs. Soft and with much tlc for your car.

No Mercian’s have told government they don’t want EVs. No thanks! China doesn’t understand Americans 😂

Yeah, because those big oil companies bankrolled those idiots in congress and whitehouse.

I like that, "they are told". If most Americans actually put their butts in the seat of an EV and drive it, they would be interested. Too many Americans just listen to the talking heads of their tribe.

~80% of Americans have never ridden in an EV, let alone driven one. Many still think "golf cart". A well integrated EV powertrain can make even a mundane grocery getter feel like a Mercedes, thanks to the combination of instant torque and quiet operation. The oil & gas industry, combined with legacy auto makers who don't want to change too quickly help spread negative information on siloed media outlets (and truthfully, there are still downsides - like the grid isn't necessarily ready for mass adoption and next gen battery chemistry still needs to be adopted to make people feel safe - albeit much of the risk is way overblown) .

Brazil is like Canada highly urbanized so the need for large inter-city charging is MUCH MUCH less than the USA or Europe... We are both linear nations that basically exist as long rail/road corridors... Here in Canada both Tesla and Petro-Canada built nation-wide rapid charging networks by openly opening about 2 dozen stations nation wide and it covers about 95% where people in the nation actually live.

BYD Qin L can drive 1400 miles with one tank of gas for $14,000. Imagining how much money this car can save average Americans every year if BYD is not banned.

Toyota is selling Rav4 in China starting about 15k USD, while US price is 30k+. If there's no profit, Toyota can just quit from China, but they choose to stay. That means they are able to earn money even the price is only half comparing to US. Do you really believe a Rav4 worth 30k USD? Tariffs is not protecting those companies, actually it is killing them slowly. Without tariffs, they will start to make better products in the competition.

You get Vinfast made in vietnam. It's all political.

They've been doing that for decades with the 25 year import rule that stops people grey-importing cars that aren't sold in the USA unless they're more than 25 years old . In the UK I can import almost any vehicle I want as long as I can convert the speedo to mph.

The US automakers will be the losers because they will get lazy. The irony is the tariff will actually accelerate the demise

Pretty sad, the west has become everything they said communism would bring

Correction. The real winners are the unions. Not union members, but the unions themselves.

It will not matter much. Charing facilities are far under constructed for EV to boom. Americans lose the ability to build consumer products from a long time ago. Chinese EVs should look at EU market. They claim that they care about climate change and gas price is a rip off. Making better sense in EU than US. BTW, I have no hope with US car manufacturers.

European and Chinese safety regulations are harmonized and include pedestrian impact testing.

There are also some features like adaptive headlights, camera-based mirrors, etc. that are not yet allowed in the US.

I would recommend waiting, because in my view in the next 2 years there will be a big improvement of chinese evs. Better consumption, autonomous driving capabilities and fast charging will also be part of lower price segments. For example Xpeng's MONA model coming in Q3 2024 will introduce advanced autonomous driving capabilities to the 20.000$ price segment. The ZEEKR 001 facelift can charge at 550kw and do 10-80 in 11 minutes. These cars will be international eventually, so that's why I'd recommend waiting !

Nobody can compete. China doesn't have to worry about human labor driving up the price of cars the way USA, Germany, Korea and Japan do.

There are factories there where humans are pretty much only used for unloading materials and the final QC checks.

@@AuralioCabal-nl8gi That’s what I’ve heard. But then they released the Zeekker for less money than people originally thought it was going to be.

​@@AuralioCabal-nl8gi We have the Zeekr 001 here in Scandinavia, it's absolutely fantastic. Test driven once, love it. Would get that instead of a Polestar.

@@JonasDavidsson Prior to Covid an American blogger toured the new Zeekr factory and got a test drive, that factory was said to be capable of 200,000 +units/ yr production, I'd like to know what Geely has in store for the Proton brand, Lotus I believe will be the sports and upscale SUV line, the Black London Cab looks nice too.

actually，There are better EV cars in China, also for $30k. Better than the zeekerX. Yes, the car made by Xiaomi.

Which Swedish doesn’t contribute much.

Chinese cars and trucks and SUVs and Vans are already sold in the Philippines . I think I saw a Korean Hyundai IONIC 5 EV being tested and sold there, price @3.068- Million Pesos ( 2wd)was way more than it would be in Canada or the USA

Australia is getting a lot of Chinese cars lately due to RCEP trade agreement

you want more jobs exported from canada?

@@JD-yx7be Toyotas and Honda's are Made and assemble in Ontario Canada, but I'm sure we are a net IMPORTER of vehicles, from Mexico, USA , Japan and S Korea and the EU, and USA probably biggest beneficiary of them all , oh Honda and Canadian Federal and Ontario Govts just signed a deal for Allston factory expansion for BEV and battery production

It doesn't matter what Canada does or wants. If the US shuts out Chinese cars, Canada must follow. Most of the world's car markets safety standards are harmonized under various NCAPs: EuroNCAP, ChineseNCAP, Latin America NCAP, Korean NCAP, Australian NCAP etc. So a Chinese designed car will not require much modification to be sold in Europe, or Australia, or Mexico for that matter (since you can buy BYDs and other Chinese cars right now in Mexico). Canadian safety regulations however are harmonized with the American FMVSS standards, which would require more modification in order to be compliant. What this means is that a car would only be sold in Canada if the carmaker already took the time and money to make it US compliant. Nobody is going to do all that just the sell a car in the much smaller Canadian market. But since the US put on these tariffs to block the Chinese carmakers to enter the US market, then that also means they won't be selling in Canada either. The only exception would be Volvo, since they do sell in the US, which means they can then also sell those US compliant cars in Canada.

looked it up and it looks like that should be 435km (270mi)

@@malcolm2771 the big battery version AWD has 550 km WLTP, so its not more efficient than Model Y.

The parasitic draw varies a lot by manufacturer and according to how you adjust the settings. A lot of gas cars will drain the 12V battery after a few weeks of sitting. Some EVs can be set to draw less and last much longer.

Tesla with it sentry mode does consume some watts( think of it as Car CCTV) , but can catch some VANDALS as shown in KZfaq and helps with witness information in times of ACCIDENTS as shown in "WHAM BAM Tesla cam"

During a range test last winter, pure EV parked outside under -10 degree Celsius lost about 1-2 percent of power overnight.

electricity car costs 10% of oil cars when driving. All Chinese taxies are EVs now, because oil taxies can not survive.

in 2018, Shanghai motor was the biggest car maker in China, 7 million cars were sold, in 2024, Shanghai motor only sold 5 million. all these new engergy car markers are killing Shanghai motor.
