Meanwhile legacy US automakers are busy trying to bury their heads in the sand again. I’m sure that will end well for the US economy and consumers.
It’s a textbook example of protectionism ending up with industry leaders slowly going bankrupt. It didn’t start with EVs, but it might end with them.
They’re essentially forcing the US car market to become Cuba. The entire American car fleet in 2030 will probably be composed of decaying 2010’s cars still. It’s a stupid self-embargo, and will only delay their bankruptcy.
They’re taking off in China specifically.
I don’t own a car because public transit is sufficient 90% of the time. I rent for the other 10% and always take an EV, they are so much fun to drive and the technology has improved significantly in the last 10 years. Great news!
I honestly miss my car free life. unfortunately housing price was too much in the city and I had to move out, which forced me to buy a car.
Must be nice to live in a country with a competent public transport network.
It really is, biggest luxury I could imagine
Before every long journey I take I always check the travel time and cost of going on the train and it is almost always longer and more expensive than just driving myself there. Where’s the sense in that at all?
That is usually the case here too. But sitting around, reading, having a beer are all fun things you can’t do when driving yourself
I just got mine a month ago.
We’ve had ours for about 2.5 years now. We love it, it’s really enjoyable to drive. I love the simplicity of them the most. I just got a new truck too, and I wish I could have got an EV that would have worked size wise and price wise. It runs on dead dinosaurs and feels like one.
enjoying it? I got mine today! An evil chinese EV!
I absolutely love my EV. For the same price as my gas car I now have a car that I get to drive for free because of my solar.
Even without free power a full, 450km charge costs me about 5cad.
