Never saw that with gas cars
Yep. Bicycles, too.
A few people tried to tell them they were throwing away their money. In a few years time I'm those same people be able to point their fingers in their faces and say, "see we told you so."
We went to China in 2018 to visit my wife’s family. On the outskirts of Beijing, there was a large lot, I’m guessing around 40 acres, that was filled with EV busses. There was row after row of them, I’m guessing that there was several hundreds of them. There was a road that cut through the property that we were able walk through it. There was several large piles of electric bicycles and charging stations that were piled about 20’ high. It was basically a large scrapyard full of EV’s. There was also stacks of cars that were about five high. They didn’t look very old.
I often point out that the USSR did the same thing. Massive farm tractor factories, with massive fields of rusting tractors right outside the factory. Every day workers would continue with their ‘job’ of tractor production.
Market? Demand? Need?
C’mon, Man!
This should be shown in the schools instead of the WEF propaganda videos that’s currently being pushed.
Interesting video—electric cars and bikes. Wow for the bikes especially.
Tesla cars in China are too expensive for 99% of the people there. They are too expensive for most here in the USA. Get rid of the subsidies from the gov’ts and electric cars would disappear. Tesla makes a fortune selling green credits to others.
Imagine what would happen if one of those abandoned EVs caught fire...

Commenters need to understand that China is a land of shortcuts and facades. [ The PLA and it’s equipment are no different. ]
The film of these 10,000 vehicles was made in 2021, the cars all have less than 31 miles on them, are all licensed and registered, all have batteries.
This is not an uncommon occurrence in China. It mostly done for propaganda reasons [ see China is the leader in ... ] by attracting investors to a neat sounding idea, then the product is left to rot for many reasons as the investors disappear with the company’s money.
No one cares about the environment, just the propaganda that can be generated by shear numbers, showing China as the leader in some area or another. But its all a facade. That the Earth and it’s environment suffer is of no consequence as long as there is propaganda to be promoted and money to be made. The product itself is not important either. See Ghost Cities and Banking in China.
These guys always put out good videos on China. Not sure if they’re still in-country...they were on the outs with the leadership at one point.
Investors wanted trust us.
