Electric Vehicles Thread (Bikes, Cars, Trucks, etc.)

Big brain time. Your EV battery is on fire? No problem, fire it at the car in the next lane.

What are those characters at the back, Korean? Japanese maybe? Can anyone help me out here please?

Wonder why they'd need these type of innovations, member Cooper has just explained that videos of Chang lithium-ion batteries catching fire and exploding are fake and irrelevant. Member Cooper is my go to guy on Chinese EVs, totally genuine and discrete person you can just smell that from miles out. Full of integrity too. Hence why waste all this money on R&D, production etc?

I am suspicious of this video, could be CIA concocted. Not ruling it out, da evil West is superjealous of China's EV sector and wants to destroy it by producing on average 2 EV fire videos a day, only trust State Media and Our Dear Chairman from hereon comrades!

Rent-free, lol.

You can go by the somewhat entertaining one-note content served by the likes of Serpentza, a dude who taught English and rode bikes in China for a few years and is still rocking the 2003 sideburns look, or you can look into what serious industry insiders like the CEO of Ford Motor have to say about Chinese EVs.

I'll go with the latter. Maybe I've had too much schooling and business experience which predisposes me to put some credence into stuff like industry analyses or sales reports, but hey, I'm still fun at parties...


Key Analyst Insights
Analysts highlight China's first-mover advantage and massive investment as key to its current position, but note that the domestic market is saturated.

  • Global Dominance and Superiority: Michael Dunne, CEO of Dunne Insights, states that in terms of EVs, "China is 10 years ahead and 10 times better than any other country," predicting it will manufacture four out of every 10 cars globally by 2030. Ford CEO Jim Farley has also described Chinese EVs as "far superior" to Western counterparts and "completely dominating" the global landscape.
  • Cost Advantage and Innovation: Analysts at Frost & Sullivan note that Chinese automakers leverage vertically integrated supply chains, allowing them to offer high-performance EVs at prices as much as 60% less than Western equivalents. Rosalie Chen, a senior analyst at Third Bridge, points to the edge Chinese firms have in "high value-for-money offerings" and rapid model development.
