    Sure, but the Chinese car will likely burst into flames faster

      I’m a big CCP hater but this is clearly false. If anything Chinese EV batteries are actually safer.

        I’d like to see what we’re comparing them to because as far as I know they are pretty much the ones manufacturing them all.

      Most reports indicate that byd cars for example only have a slightly higher failure rate, just barely above margin of error.

      Which is honestly not that bad. Even US, Korean and Japanese manufacturers have duds or struggle with new tech. China isn’t magically worse or better then the rest of us in that department.

      Honestly a shit car is shit regardless of who makes it and most cars are shit.

      Yeah sure, internationally known for protecting citizens (sorry, “consumers”) against evil corporations at all costs.

      If you have a source for this (and by that, I mean a source on the rate of cars bursting into flames in China vs in other countries), then I’m interested.

      But most likely you’re pulling this out of your ass, and your only reasoning is “cheaper = shit quality”.
