You can't blame 'user error' on the product.  Fire was a result of a crash.

The starting of the fire wasn't the problem. Putting it out was. Almost impossible.

Keep spinning ... some fires are for different reasons.   Actually the fumes were the main concern, if you actually read a report of the fire.   Fumes always a concern with many fires of different chemicals.

 

Apparently nothing wrong with the product, and as usually, people & user error, but hey ... all EVs are bad.  We get it.

EV batteries are found to last 20 years or more.  5,000 data sample.

Ford's CEO and CFO went to China to try their EVs. They were quite honest about how good they are and how far behind they are.

https://www.businessinsider.com/ford-ceo-cfo-left-shocked-after-chinese-ev-test-drive-2024-9

So Ford openly admit it, Musk has openly admitted how good BYD (and other Chinese makes) are. UBS Research tore a BYD Seal down and reported on the extremely high quality of it. European and American governments are aware of the threat hence imposing massive import duties. Yet still on here we read comments like "Made in China, will fall apart", "Chinese junk", "Chinese death traps" etc. Bigoted. Ignorant. Ill informed.

@DavisH   "EV's are supposed to be better right? So why settle for less?"

_________________________________________________________

 

My reason, because they (BEV)  perform better, and less expensive to operate & maintain.

 

Best reason ... I don't support the monopoly of big oil, or have to go to the station to top up every week or 2 or 4, or ever, unless out of town.

Yeah, collapsing EV sales in Germany 🇩🇪. 

Soon that accumulating chart of your will start to flatten out.

We have had 5 of 8 months of YOY falling sales in Thailand, despite subsidies and a very aggressive price war. 

Thailand 🇹🇭 is 4-5 years behind Germany, but things are happening faster here.

A misleading post.

 

Try quoting the percentage share of EV’s every month this year instead.

Electric vehicles sales were down by 43.9% in Europe’s in August 2024. 

The European Union’s overall new car sales fell 18.3% last month. For major car markets in Europe, like Germany, France, and Italy, the EV sales saw double-digit losses. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), Germany reported a 68.8% drop in EV sales while France recorded a 33.1% decline. 

Plug-in electric cars also dropped by 22.3% across all 27 members states of the EU. Meanwhile Hybrid electric vehicles sales performed better, rising 6.6% in August. ACEA data revealed that hybrid electric cars now have a market share of 31.3% in Europe.

I wouldn’t expect anything less than a misleading post from you, so nice that you didn’t disappoint me.

 

EV sales are increasing worldwide this year, it’s ICE sales that are losing market share.

Not willing to go into that discussion... But It can be that Europe numbers are not that optimistic... Bad propaganda, new tax reform on Chinese ev, allergic to new things, and angry facing the new 2035 ICE law. ... But Europe is maybe not leading anymore, and that in many domains....  My 2 cents.

The post is factually correct it is you that is posting misleading information 

In August, battery-electric cars accounted for 14.4% of the EU car market, down from 21% the previous year. This represents the fourth consecutive month of decline this year,

Electric cars

In August 2024, registrations of battery-electric (BEV) cars dropped by 43.9% to 92,627 units (compared to 165,204 the same period last year), with their total market share slipping to 14.4% from 21% a year before. This was driven by the spectacular drop in the two biggest markets for BEV cars: Germany (-68.8%) and France (-33.1%). From January to August, 902,011 new battery-electric cars were registered, representing 12.6% of the market.

Nonsense statistics aimed to mislead people into thinking that EV’s market share isn’t growing all over the world.

Your making yourself look a complete idiot this is a  press release  from the The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association  which anyone can view from their website 

Here is the latest press release

European auto industry calls for urgent action as demand for EVs declines

Brussels, 19 September 2024 – A continuous trend of shrinking market share for battery electric cars in the EU sends an extremely worrying signal to industry and policymakers. 

The latest EU car registration data released by ACEA today once again confirms the electric car market is now on a continual downward trajectory.

We are missing crucial conditions to reach the necessary boost in production and adoption of zero-emission vehicles: charging and hydrogen refilling infrastructure, as well as a competitive manufacturing environment, affordable green energy, purchase and tax incentives, and a secure supply of raw materials, hydrogen and batteries. Economic growth, consumer acceptance, and trust in infrastructure have not developed sufficiently either.

[motdaeng]

at vinny41 and JBChiangRai, could you please stop your ongoing argument about ev numbers? it's slowly turning into a personal dispute that doesn't really add value to the topic.

 

we all understand by now that statistics can be interpreted in different ways. please allow the other members to decide what they want to believe. it would be great if you both could agree to respond to any new statistic with a limit of 2-3 posts each ... i know, it's a lot to ask for both of you  ...

I have a better suggestion, neither Vinny nor I should post any statistics, agreed @vinny41 ?

Best solution is contact them and explain to them why their press release is incorrect

No official poll but I am adding my voice to motdaeng's. It is very very boring, incredibly so. I am tired of having to scroll past all those posts each day (sometimes several times a day) to get to anything interesting - it is strangling the thread.
