New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China

Regardless the hates and loves between Jia and Ding, what do you about the Faraday Future's FF91?

What about bringing family, relatives, friends, coworkers etc with you on the car?

If its only about you and your wife/gf and small kids then that's ok. But sometimes you might have to put adults into the backseats

Then you need to buy the suv version.

you don't buy a car for the worst case scenario. you buy a car for the most common scenario. besides, China should be doing the best to limit car ownership to ~30%, encourage transit and use electric/hybrid to substitute for, not add to, ICE vehicles. it looks to me like this is the case since parking and registration cost more than the car itself. 30% car ownership is still a gigantic car market that nobody can match.

even electric cars still only solve the greenhouse gas issue of cars. cars have other issues, especially in China: parking and roads take up lots of space for low capacity transportation, it reduces maximum urban density, it makes streets more dangerous in general without special pedestrian/biker access routes, etc.

Hong Kong got many things wrong but their urban infrastructure is 100% correct.

Tesla: 70k cars
BYD: 77k cars

This guy's information on the Chinese EV industry is non stop.


BYD will provide batteries to GM and Ford, at least to their JVs in China. The Mustang Mach E is already using BYD, although its not the BYD Blade battery.

I find this report skeptical at the part that it says Chinese car makers give up LFP and turn to NCM batteries.

Ntd is falun gong.
