  • To add to the other commenter that’s already replied. Those three names, whether you know them or not, are very big in China and th Asian Pacific. They’re making entrance into the middle east and eastern Europe along with lucrative markets like Norway. Make no mistake, they are expanding out from china rapidly. BYD is the best example I have to hand, 12 show rooms in the UK in 2023 with an aim for approx 70 by the end off 2024.

    Look at the Wikipedia pages on those three brands for more info, they’re not small companies alone new ones, just relatively new to EVs. But given the date of Ford and Stellantis and the other OEMs, I don’t think existing for a while os a good yardstick to go by. Hell, look at the absolute shit show of Toyota in this arena l.


  • The 3 was refreshed earlier in the year and the Y has it’s refresh incoming. They also update the cars all the time just not always stylistically. There’s not an “all new for 20xx” launch or the like that you get from others. The X and S now compared to say the 2016 are markedly different.

    Also Nissan had the leef about 10 years ago so they’re not a new entrant and only have currently two products and I wouldn’t say they’re indistinguishable. Also I wouldn’t say that about the Seal, it’s clearly an EV and BYD is unashamed about that.

    The existing OEMs need to get their act together. If you thought Tesla was hurting them, wait until BYD, NIO and Geely turn up in numbers.

    Do the sums for a petrol car and then do the for any EV. Spoilers EV is always lower. And a EV only gets cleaner but an Ice still burns oil in some fashion for the rest of its life and burns it worse. I swear Americans are quite possibly the worst and most tribalistic people on lemmy




  • That’s a lot of anger directed at someone you don’t know about something you don’t own by a company you down use owned by someone who you hate who doesn’t know you exist. You’re going off at a random person on the Internet because what, I didn’t immediately side with you? And that warrants this attitude you’re throwing out? Not tribalism at all. Continually confirming how right you are isn’t an echo chamber.

    I’m out. People like you were the worst thing about reddit and you’ve brought your toxicity here. Good job.
