The vast majority of Americans don’t want to drive an electric car.
“The vast majority of Americans don’t want to drive an electric car.”
The vast majority of Americans drive less than 30 miles per day. They would buy $10 to 15000 EVs with a 200 mile range and a fireproof LFP blade pack by the millions. Trump is right if BYD can sell their sedan sized cars here for under 15K they will bloodbath the American market.
This is an echo chamber here with people who live rural or semi rural and have no idea what real urban living is like where 75% of all Americans actually live. Every time I hear it’s X number or miles to the nearest Wal-Mart or grocery store that immediately tells me that person is in the 25% who doesn’t live in a urban county. Where Wal-Mart’s are at a three mile or less radius by design from each other. BYD has a 5 passenger sedan for 15k and the 250 mile LFP pack that covers the weekly driving needs of 99% of urbanites who take a longer trip two times or less per year. Your rent a car for this trips and be done with it. The avg price of a new car is $45,000 if China brings midsized EV sedans here for less than 20,000 they will dominate the market.
