The amount of Chinese propaganda around EVs is astounding

I want a top speed of 50, 100 mile range, single seater, and a price tag to match
An ebike can do all that.
I don’t want any EV
I’ve recently driven a brand new 2023/2024 Maxus T90EV. It had 15 miles on the clock when I drove it. These are the problems I experienced with it and these aren’t even touching on my preferences like I thought the seats were uncomfortable. So I doubt China EVs are going to take over, not in 2024 at least.
- Auto lights didn’t work
- Auto wipers didn’t work
- Intermittent wipers didn’t work
- Rear view camera was really poor quality
- Infotainment system crashed, where I had to walk away from the vehicle with it still in its crashed state. At some point it finally turned off and worked again on the next drive
- Bluetooth audio kept crashing
- Infotainment system is really basic
- Shudders when driving on the factory set speed limiter
- No driving aids like cruise control or driver defined speed limiter
I feel bad for everyone who takes your word at face value.
Anyone can type anything on the internet. Just keep that in mind, folks.
It’s my honest experience. Why do you speak negatively towards me?

Kind of a dumbass comment there my guy
Lol, found the guy who believes everything he reads on the internet.
You’re clearly being a troll.
Uhh, no.
Yikes
They also have fields of decaying vehicles that were built solely to take advantage of the subsidies
idk why you’re being downvoted, you’re absolutely right lol
Chinas EVs are not built to standard and are used in majority to grab cheat the Central Government for subsidies
BYD would eat the market alive if they sold their EVs here solely on price.
Bite Your own Dick.
Probably not a well received opinion but the amount of China promoting drivel that goes on here in lemmy is astounding.

They were just complaining about how much pro-China stuff is posted here and you’re replying with this lol
Agree. Tankies are on the loose, and not just on their own servers
Which is the propaganda? The posts touting Chinese achievements in tech, or the posts saying to beware of the Chinese milestones?
Both.
I mostly agree with your statement and we should be aware of both.
Eh, I’ve seen all these same headlines on Hacker News. China is a rapidly developing country with a lot more people, manufacturing, advancements, and news than many other countries so it makes sense that there would be a lot of news coming out of it.
I just visited China for the first time during a business trip a few weeks ago and as an American I was impressed. The US media tries so hard to present only the negative that a lot of Americans aren’t even aware of all the achievements they’ve accomplished.
Lmao.
I want a small, fun roadster. Or a hot hatch. Or a sport wagon. And I didn’t see one listed.
An e-civic would be phenomenal…
Tweak the motors to simulate vtech!
Toyota had a concept EV that simulates a manual transmission (including “stalling,” coasting, and “engine braking”), that it showed off last year to some journalists. People who drove it say it’s a ton of fun.
A Mitsubishi Legnum Electric would be an instant buy for me.
If someone makes an electric equivalent to the Pontiac Fiero I’m getting a drivers license. Small, cheap, fun.
Hell yeah. Or an MR2. Or an S2000.
Carice? Harks back to the small British sports car.
Man, if some Chinese company rebooted MG I’d be so happy
MGs are still around, made in China but I see a lot of them on the roads here in Australia.
We’re already halfway there! I’m gonna order my girlfriend a long silk scarf now so we’re ready
yeah! Just look at that…beauty…
I want the kind of EV that’s made in Japan.
Mmm… mag lev…
So is the rest of the world.
Cut them som slack they just recently made progress in removing the floppy as an essential peice of technology for their citizens
A Gundam then. That will be $725M for the base model without Beam Saber and shield. Would you like to pay in cash or card?
What if I steal Fort Knox on my test drive? Will that work?
I’m sorry citizen but the Earth Federation currently does not accept stolen reserves for test drive bonds. You may wish to contact the Principality of Zeon who may be amenable to your mode of payment. Thank you and have a nice day!
As a professional car reviewer, I couldn’t travel to test-drive interesting cars during the early pandemic, so I did the next best thing: went to the website Alibaba, and bought a Changli. After I paid $2,000 for shipping and customs, the car arrived at my doorstep months later in a massive cardboard box.
But if you’re hoping that you might be able to buy these cars like you do so many other Chinese-made gadgets, keep dreaming.
Do they have an electric truck that isn’t the size of a small house?
Straight up if I could get an electric Kei truck I’d be over the moon

$2k from Alibaba.
Well … then 1.5k for the good battery and other options and like … another 5k for shipping related expenses. That blew my mind how expensive it was to import.
And you get a truck 3 dudes can pull backwards with a top speed of like 36mph. It’s basically a very robust power wheels.
Man, this is the Power Wheels I needed as a chunky kid.
Those expensive shipping release fees are what’s stopping people from importing EVs from China.

It’s the result of massive subsidies. When they stop, this market will crash like a house of cards.
Those bastards, subsidizing emissions reducing technologies.
Not really. It’s mainly about gaining market dominance on a technology they think is the future. They’ll build them right next to the massive coal plant alongside a million other things they’re subsidizing.
Even if its not some altruistic reasons, they still are literally subsidizing this emissions reducing technology.
Tho they are also going pretty ham on subsidizing renewable energy too.
And we could be doing the same if we ditch big oil subsidies.
You won’t be saying that once the market crashes. You’ll realize that there are much better ways of spending that money. Like far more practical emissions reducing solutions.
How do subsidies=crash, and what are more effective emissions reductions solutions than renewable energy and electrifying transit?
You’re better off spending it on stuff like mass transit and the like. It won’t just all disappear at some point in the future.
You could say the same thing about fossil fuels in the USA…
Or all of the food in the USA. Imagine all agra subsidies stopped. Probably a bigger deal than a EV market disruption.
Well honestly we need to stop with corn subsidies. It is used far too much in our food system. Corn sugar just needs to stop.
Like their housing market right now.
I want a nice cheap basic car without all the nonsense, and 250 miles of range plus battery swap. Neta V fits the bill
Electric kei trucks?
