i do not doubt and this trend did not and would not happen only in the EV industry only

EVs are proving to be money pits. Owners are upside down on value of the cars vs repair costs. The batteries are too expensive to replace compared to the value of the vehicle. Who will buy a used EV??????

Protectionism from America is both hypocritical and ultimately damaging to the American economy. Rent seeking is NOT a legitimate form of economy or government... In fact it's the pathetic last step of an empire in permanent decline... Talk to the Russians for more information, or Israel in 5 years...

You put out a fallacy at the very beginning, and that is a shame. I understand that you want to maintain offices in China so that you can cover news there and if you say the wrong things China has anti-espionage laws that could get reporters thrown in jail, but whatever it is you DO say it should be accurate so you don't give people the wrong impression. MANY vehicles in those junkyards were NEVER on Chinese roads. They were made to get subsidies, put up for sale and when not purchased taken out to forests and left to rot to become an environmental disaster. There are places out in forest land where these sit. And for the people who don't understand this, the CCP gave subsidies PER VEHICLE BUILT, so if a company put together a VERY cheap car, the amount of subsidy PER CAR was more than it cost to make the car. THIS is the fallacy of BEV in China. What often gets reported on is that since there were X amount of vehicles made, there are X amount of BEV on the roads in China. This was never true. The American govt. or at least the Exec has known about this. It's one of the unspoken reasons why they don't want Chinese BEV coming into the US.

Fun fact. These are ice cars. Not evs

@@alainportant6412 There very much is peak oil. Even the oil industry can only tolerate soo many injuries and deaths in their operations.

By the way, those blue license plates are for gasoline cars, not electric cars. Electric cars are all green license plates, and gasoline cars are abandoned by people for their economy, so they are placed here by rental companies. Currently, all taxis in China are electric cars.And those unlicensed vehicles are new cars from 4S dealerships.

This is how Chinese should come up more vocally and expose all the lie the western nation , Indian and some other Asian do about China. I rarely see Chinese coming and giving actual truth. it’s not like Chinese are only living in China , chinese live all around the world, yes if their is some bad in china you have to criticize but at the same time don’t let your self down such that they will keep sollow you up. When will Chinese wake up vocally , enough of being rich Chinese you need to speak up aswell. Look how they lie about that and many people buy this propaganda everyday. And it’s not only about car number plate but this are all rental car owned by companies and when EV is developing so fast that new and better model keep coming with better feature so these companies dump this car to get new one. it has nothing to do with ohhh ev are not getting sold so their are gravyya of car lol. So I wanna see more Chinese exposing this hypocrite west , Indian and other who hate Chinese so much. But it’s up to chinese they wanna change or not

These are all blue license plate cars that have been registered, and the blue license plate is a gasoline vehicle. Or it could be the earliest tram from over a decade ago. A new car will definitely not have a license plate. Only users who have the license plate will be granted the license plate.

There are forests with thousands of vehicles dumped in them and the person doing the video clearly showed they were BEV. That wasn't shown in this report from the WSJ, or they'd get kicked out of China. There is no MAIN news source with an office in China that can show images or video like that because of China's anti-espionage laws for which taking PICTURES can get you in prison. If you show the CCP or China in any negative light that can get you put in prison. There are already hundreds of people in prison from this very thing. NO ONE is paying a fee for those vehicle dumped into forests. The supposed story was those vehicles were supposed to sell to taxi services or delivery services. The REAL truth is they're pure junk made SOLELY to get subsidies from the CCP which was a PER VEHICLE subsidy, and they made money without EVER having to sell a single vehicle. Does the truth hurt?

It's also a leader in battery recycling.

By comparison, Europe and the US are expected to reach that milestone only after 2070.

They don’t require the same amount of testing on these cars, consumer advocacy is non-existent, insurance is provided through Chinese insurance companies, keeping rates lower.
