That and long distance travel are my concerns. Will I have to keep stopping for long charging sessions. Will there even be a charger on the route at all.
A third concern is how safe the lithium batteries are for charging, it would have to be inside my garage that is on the 1st floor. I guess it’s probably not too much of a concern but I worry about even leaving small lithium batteries charging unattended.
the article is talking about ev sales in the us. i guess i should have just assumed you were too dumb to read the article. also importing is a good way to add 10,000 to the price
I’m not sure why there’s so many slow, dumb fuckers like you on Lemmy, but fyi, I said two sentences.
Importing and such has nothing to do with the topic. They are making good, cheap (sub $32k usd) cars. That is a fact. Their cars - and most importantly, their batteries - are available outside of China. This is a fact.
By virtue of making good cheap cars, and making them available outside of their national borders, it does dramatic things to the rest of the industry to follow suit.
For example, you don’t think Tesla’s price drops have been in a vacuum, do you?
But whatever. You’re dumb as shit, and think arguing on Lemmy makes you less of a waste of space.
I want and have wanted an EV since 2013…can’t afford one. So to be clear, it’s not a matter of wanting, it’s a matter of making an affordable one.

BYD have made great strides in that area. good, cheap EVs.
$32,000 minimum is not even close to being cheap
BYD’s least expensive EV is far less than $32k USD, but in any case I suppose it’s a matter of perspective.
how you gonna buy one in the US?
Why would I care?
But to answer your question, the word you’re looking for is “import”.

It doesn’t, and you are.
Or, you could read what I wrote, instead of what you think I wrote.
