I hate EVs with passion, but Tesla is the only EV manufacturer without major quality issues (it randomly explodes far less often).

- isoprophlex 3y agoCitation, as they say, fucking needed.
- keep320909 3y agoChinese EVs are not allowed in Europe for safety reasons. Audi, Jaguar, GM, Kia... had recalls due to battery fire risks. It is just my observation, but I think Tesla is like 5 years ahead when it comes to battery safety.
- ManuelKiessling 3y ago> Chinese EVs are not allowed in Europe for safety reasons Well, I better tell my neighbour who has his MG4 parked in his driveway this precise moment!
- hrnnnnnn 3y agoAre you sure about that? https://www.zeekr.eu/ https://www.zeekr.eu/ https://www.byd.com/eu https://www.byd.com/eu
- defrost 3y agoIndeed - more specifically https://bydeurope.com/byd-europe https://bydeurope.com/byd-europe After over 20 years of development, BYD has grown from a brand that has never been known in Europe to a compelling new energy vehicle industry leader. Thanks to the efforts of the European branch, BYD's pure electric buses have already been sold in more than 20 countries and in over 100 major European cities including Amsterdam (the Netherlands), London (the UK), Ankara (Turkey), Madrid (Spain), and Turin (Italy). Besides that, BYD has one electric bus factory in Europe which is located in Komarom, Hungary. but the point stands.
- dagw 3y agoChinese EVs are not allowed in Europe for safety reasons. Europe is full of Chinese EVs. I see MG and BYD cars all the time, with Nio starting to make inroads. Plus of of course Polestar (which may or may not be a Chinese EV depending on how you define things)
- gertrunde 3y agoGot any sources for that? I'm seeing a lot about security concerns (i.e. the usual China/surveillance thing), but not a lot about battery safety, apart from scooter batteries. (China-specific concerns that is, beyond the general EV battery concerns).
- rsynnott 3y ago> Chinese EVs are not allowed in Europe for safety reasons Eh? The best-selling EV brand for the last few months in Germany has been BYD.
- itsoktocry 3y agoWhy would you "hate" anything like an EV? Just don't buy one.
- keep320909 3y agoI have EV (electric bike). I would also like to buy small electric car for driving around city. I hate 2 ton luxury monsters that require 100 000 watts for charging.

- thebruce87m 3y agoMine requires 7,000 watts of wind power to charge overnight. It can take 250,000 watts, but that’s rare.
- soultrees 3y agoHow can you hate a technology with a passion? Sure, EVs provide some issues today but genuinely curious how someone with any hint of intellectual curiosity can ‘hate’ a technology. Perhaps the hate the culture or the messaging around the technology right now, but ‘hating EVs with a passion’ seems weird.
- blackoil 3y agoYour hate is so strong it is manifesting in fake facts and gossip.
