        You can think what you want, it just stands that BYD was a copycat of BMW. Many Chinese EV or self driving cars are not reliable. An example would be the Xiaomi Car which just recently crashed in China and the mass refund attempt price drops. If you think these copy manufacturers are worth it over your safety and that of others, it's just not right. Hope your info doesnt drive its way to China too.

        They are able to mass produce these and pull out these stats because of their direct connections to the Chinese government many of these cars sit in massive car graveyards in China. Not going to argue that Tesla gets money from them too, but theres a slight difference in quality where a company makes a copy of a product.

          Ethnically, yes. What's that got to do with it?

          Historically, the west has been quite dismissive of Asian manufacturing. It used to the Japanese, then Korean, and now Chinese cars are in the firing line. Fact of the matter is that Chinese EV manufacturing is better value and quality than the majority of the world.

            @Caped Baldy: China manufacturing is different than China design … Although they are starting to catch up… They are still unproven … But EVs are a different game.

            They conned the global automakers to open up shop in China and stole all the manufacturing secrets. The automakers sold out their secrets for some quick profit and now they will pay for it.

              Lol. That's not remotely true. It was 100% capitalism coming in for the cheap labour.

              China realised in the early 2000s, they couldn't match traditional auto manufacturing so they invested heavily and subsidised EV tech and they also had terrible pollution to deal with.

                Theres a difference between investing and polluting. At this point they are polluting. They pay out companies to make these products and they just dump them cause they made a profit.

      Are they going to open up recycling depots just for the soon to be piling up worthless electric cars that cost more to replace the battery than buy a new one ?

      • greatlamp on 22/06/2024 - 18:49

        It's quite obvious that EVs have a more favourable impact on the environment than the ICE vehicles they replace, so the very premise of this argument is flawed.

        Nobody cares if EVs have a negative impact on the environment. The alternative is driving an ICE vehicle which produces toxic exhaust for every year of its life (unless you run LPG, but Australia has always preferred to gift its LPG away for next to nothing and import oil instead)

          it's quite obvious that EVs are a toxic hazard to society and a financial disaster for those that buy one.

          Ask anyone trying to sell a secondhand EV about the huge losses they make when reselling if they can find a sucker to buy their toxic time bomb at all.

            @Bumblegrum:

            's quite obvious that EVs are a toxic hazard to society

            Carbon emmisons from manufacturing an EV are higher upfront, after an average of 4 years the ICE vehicle's carbon emissions overtake the EV emissions.

            In the case where the EV is charged with electricity produced from carbon sources this 4 year figure would be extended, however as electricity production produces less emissions per km travelled than burning petrol/diesel, it is never the case that an EV produces more carbon emissions in the long term.

            The emissions produced by electricity generation are not released directly into residential areas where people live. The health impacts have value that is obvious even though it may be difficult to quantify. I remind you that burning organic fuel produces compounds that are toxic to human health, not only CO2, and in large quantities.

            The costs of fuelling an EV with purchased electricity are around 1/5th the cost of fuelling an ICE vehicle. The financial advantages are obvious - that's why people buy them. Throwing around statement alluding to the negative environmental impacts of lithium mining are not convincing anyone of anything except an unconsidered bias. Coal mining isn't better for the environment, and people aren't buying EVs for the environment, that is a secondary consideration at best.

            If you want to make a point please share your thinking, what you have shared is twitter ragebait.

              @greatlamp: You are obviously ignoring the dismal resale value of EVs, if you wish to make a valid point you must include the lack of infrastructure to support these mobile fire hazards and the resale value or rather the lack off into any of your calculations.

                Driven by release of new cheaper models. Irrelevant to the situation of buying an EV today.

                the lack of infrastructure

                EVs are not for everyone. The current infrastructure is suitable for at least 50% of the population. That's why EVs are selling in record numbers.

                mobile fire hazards

              All these stats are for fully charged batteries with multiple motors, which is good for start stop driving. But if you get out of the boring cycle and want to have a bit of fun those electric motors run out of power quickly and you are left with an underpowered slug in most hybrids these days.

              They are building motors with amazing efficiency and torque at a certain range and gearing it for that in general driving but none of that works off the beaten track on a nice windy road with no kids in the back.

                    @choofa: Toyota hybrids aren't at all like a normal CVT. They use planetary gearsets, which are nothing like normal CVTs and don't have their drawbacks, imo they're pretty genius when used in conjunction with electric motors for regen braking. I hate normal CVTs so was surprised when I found this out. Maybe you mean they don't have the fun or sensation of changing gears.

                      @Techie4066: No they just suck when you want a fun car to drive on twisty windy roads. The underpowered petrol motor no longer has the power from the awesome electric motors and the car is horribly sluggish and slow

                  @Wizard: Well those things will suck when the batteries run low too

      The only problem I have with hybrids is the weak motors. Sure they are quick away from the traffic lights but when you find a nice bit of road and you want to push it the electric motor is good for 5 seconds and then all you get is a lot of noise from a horribly underpowered engine and a terrible transmission designed only to make fuel economy figures look good.

      You chose a good cheap option though. I’d be disappointed in some of these $50-70k Toyota hybrids that aren’t worth the price tag.

      Only has a 2kw battery in it…. tad bit bigger than my ebike

      Better price but that’s about where it ends.

    If I wanted some Sonos Ace Headphones i wouldn't pay $38k for them. That's not a bargain.

      But you also get a Dolphin Dynamic free with that $38K Sonos Ace headphones :p
