EVs are the disposable razor of transport , use it and no one will want it and in a couple of years of paying for it you’ll owe money on a car that is only worth scrap value

Oversized electric golf cart fanbois not pleased with this.

They might post a pic of some goofy looking Hot Wheels thing.

I think the Chinese have built in a way to make these batteries ignite all across the world at once.

If they didn’t they were not following the instructions from “The Art of War”.

MV Fremantle Highway:

With "electric cars" composing a significant fraction of her cargo.

Chinese cannot differentiate between EV’s and fireworks.

If I were a cargo line I’d demand an extra insurance policy paid for by the car maker or refuse to carry the cars.........................

No kidding. Here's MV Felicity Ace, another RORO car carrier, on fire in the North Atlantic:

She later sank.

EV’s exploding in underground garages of malls and hospitals and airports will be more than a nuisance.

With EVs being pricey as they are, the natural thing would be to get them cheaper from China, but if I understand right, these Chinese vehicles are subject to even higher incidence of problems than the home-built ones. That’s no good no matter what the price is. If the U.S. would continue to produce ICE vehicles & forget the EVs, this would also tend to build up the used car market & we’d all be better off. If U.S. production would start including simpler vehicles with lower prices, then we would continue to benefit even more.
