Popular Post Pib Posted March 28 Popular Post Share Posted March 28 3 hours ago, ExpatOilWorker said: That is very interesting. The Euro zone is of course a much bigger and diversed market, but also a more mature EV market. At 20% EV sales, Thailand is already double the EU numbers. Asia is generally faster at adopting new technology and Europe has not been exposed to the Chinese shock, but it could also be that Thailand has overshoot the target and sales will fall a bit, like we already saw in February. Europe is being exposed to Chinese EVs at a very healthy rate....see below 27 Mar 2024 CNBC article...see link for full story....a partial quote also below. I expect governments in both Europe and US will continue to be lobbied hard to stem the growth as the Chinese EV manufacturers can simply produce quality EVs at a lower cost than European/US manufacturing their EVs in Europe/the US. P.S. Today in a trip to the mother-in-laws house my 5 month old BYD Atto reached the 10,000km point....other than a few very minor issues like experiencing some squeaking front brakes for about 20 minutes right after the EV had its 3 month/5,000km point in Dec 2023, an Infotainment system glitch right after an OTA update (the glitch was cleared by simply rebooting the Infotainment system), and "squeak" in the back seat when hitting certain bumps at certain speeds (the dealership fixed that in about an hour) the Atto has been a joy to drive. Smooth, quiet, extremely fuel efficient...most any potential customer should like that. European/US car manufacturers have very good reason to be afraid of Chinese EV manufacturers. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/28/china-made-vehicles-will-make-up-a-quarter-of-europes-ev-sales-this-year.html Quote China-made vehicles will comprise a quarter of Europe’s EV sales this year, study shows PUBLISHED WED, MAR 27 20248:14 PM EDT About 19.5% of battery-powered EVs sold in the EU last year were from China, with close to a third of the sales in France and Spain constituting EVs shipped from the Asian country, the European Federation for Transport and Environment (T&E) reported in a paper shared Wednesday. The share of made-in-China vehicles in the region is expected to rise to just over 25% in 2024, according to the T&E research, as Chinese brands such as BYD ramp up their global expansion. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post josephbloggs Posted March 28 Popular Post Share Posted March 28 (edited) 48 minutes ago, 3NUMBAS said: nobodys talking about the extra weight on roads and causing potholes and multi story car parks cant take the extra weight and collapsing I wonder why. Cars have been getting heavier for decades. A petrol powered MK1 Golf GTI weighed 820kg. The 2023 petrol equivalent (MK8) weighs 1,570kg. Almost double. An early BMW 3 series base model was 1,140kg. It is now around 1,700kg. Back in the days we only really had Land Rovers or Range Rovers as SUVs. The original Range Rover was around 1,700kg, now it is 2,500kgs. A BMW X7 weighs around 2,700kg!! Honda Accord MK1 around 900kgs. Current model almost 1,500kg. etc etc. How many multi story car parks have collapsed due to cars getting heavier and bulkier? A BYD Seal is a good family car. It weighs a little more than a BMW 520d. Has anyone called for 520d's to be banned as they might cause car parks to collapse? The new BMW M5 will be 2,345 kg! Is anyone talking about that? My petrol powered XC40 weighs almost 1,700kg. The electric equivalent is 2,050kg for single motor and 2,160 for the twin. Hardly enough to cause a building to collapse, especially if they are letting M5s, SUVs etc in. If you carry four big passengers you can easily add 300kgs to your gross weight. Is anyone talking about that and asking for passengers to be banned? It's just another propaganda myth against EVs. Yes, they are heavier as I said, but cars generally are getting heavier and heavier and have been for 30+ years - where is the outcry to stop this? And no doubt as technology advances batteries will become lighter Much ado about nothing. Edited March 28 by josephbloggs 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
