The promise was to cover the nation with a charging station every 50 miles on the interstate highway system. Do I remember correctly?

New cars must have airbags, ABS, rear backup cameras, etc. It would have to go through the EURO NCAP safety testing and then get a rating.

Rob Plant + 2,756 RP June 5 These very very cheap Byd cars are a game changer in this whole debate. It leaves every government with the dilemma of whether to impose large levies to protect home auto manufacturers or stick to their promises of COP24. If they stick to their "green agendas" then they surely cannot impose massive import levies. Let market forces play out I say. A brand new car with good range for $10K!

Ron I agree the Hyrbids and PHEVs are an easy choice ....getting up to twice the MPG is a game changer in the Auto Business......For straight EVs they really need to get a design change on battery packs.. IE Battery packs in more of a modular format..IE 30 separate accessible batteries that you can pull them out and replace the bad batteries or cells in a battery .....not having to replace and entire battery pack for a small problem Rome was not built in a day Right now BYD has the Model T's that Ford once had...............cheap ...reliable .....and long lasting expect the EVs are fasssssssssssttttttttttt.........the sky is the limit for low cost EVs........... going to get real interesting real fast Edited June 5 by notsonice 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I often drive our poorly rated Mitsubishi three cylinder and actually prefer it for around town but it can do mountain driving and go anywhere. The price is now about $17,000 and it gets 40 mpg plus or minus depending on how you drive. I think BYD should get free market here and Europe. China allows us to export our cars to them, but I do not now the tariffs involved. Anything lower priced would be a contender. I just saw an American battery golf cart advertised for $18,000!

Now the world’s top seller of EVs, BYD is eyeing a Mexican plant and is selling $21,000 electric Dolphin Minis just across the border. BY JIM MOTAVALLIPUBLISHED: MAR 12, 2024 11:17 AM EDT BYD BYD says it does not plan to sell very affordable EVs in the US. But the company—which is scouting plant locations in Mexico—might have a very good economic incentive to do so. Imported Chinese cars are subject to prohibitive 25% tariffs. But imports from Mexico built with Chinese parts pay only a 2.5% duty under the rules of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The Dolphin Mini (pictured above) is BYD’s fourth EV available in Mexico, after the Han, the Tang, and the Yuan Plus. BYD’s new Yuan Up, shown in China last February, could sell in the range of $14,000 to $20,000, and may be exported. Looking for a bargain EV? Pickings are slim in the US (the Nissan Leaf starts at $29,255), but across the border in Mexico consumers can buy the BYD Dolphin Mini from Chinese automaker BYD for a mere $21,000. It’s a small hatchback with vague Honda Fit overtones. It will reportedly go 190 miles on a charge, and if you want more there’s the Dolphin Mini Plus with 252 miles of range—and a $23,000 bottom line.

I think the market for cheap Chinese EVs is good in many areas of the world. Even India is producing them. I think they should be an option in the U.S.A. because many people can't afford safe transportation. We love driving our 3 cylinder ICE Mitsubishi Mirage. It is the lowest price ICE in America. https://www.mitsubishicars.com/cars-and-suvs/mirage $17,000 Ours was purchased for $14,000 five years ago. No problems! Such ICE vehicles could compete with EVs but American companies don't want that business. If China is not aggressive worldwide let them compete. India too. That is better than making them worse enemies but some issues need to be straightened out first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
