EV's have an 8 year battery warranty.... So, drive one for 5 or 6 years then sell it under warranty.
I don't see that the prices drop any more than ICE's do... that would be my concern if buying one, but I've seen no evidence of the prices dropping (and this thread is about the show rooms lowering prices on new models forcing the value of already purchased models to drop - which is a different argument).
Will manufacturers be able to change out the battery far more cheaply 10 years from now ????
Perhaps.... its a guess....
But, I think we are heading for an environmental disaster with all the battery tech and recycling that will be needed - but again, thats a different argument from EV's vs ICE's from the single perspective of future value.
Hopefully they will realise that war is terrible and they opt for a future without war by accepting Israel's right to exist , for them to be just like a papa and become a terrorist and attack Israel will just prolong the war
This isn't about EV's... Its about a Chinese company making promises and breaking them.
Of course, EV's have become cheaper.... But any car loses value over 12 months.
Buy a BMW for 3 million baht and watch it lose 500,000 baht as soon as you drive it out of the showroom....
But, all Tesla has had to reduce its prices to compete.
The free-charing thing... yup... a lie... or rather, a 'semi-truth'... I don't trust the companies that make 'too good to be true' promises.
When KIA install their 'wall charger' in your house, they 'say' it has a 50 Million Baht Insurance cover for any damage caused by a fault in that charger (i.e. a short or a fire etc)... But I'd bet there is a load of 'wiggle' room in the event of a fire - I'd like to see 'that' policy in detail (I think its a 3 year policy, while the cars have an 7 or 8 year warranty).
But, at least they have show-rooms... Tesla don't... and the Chinese Showrooms seem deeply intent on sales... I not sure about recalls, or response when something goes wrong - I don't trust them to hold up their side of the 'agreements' (warranty) - BUT... that is most definitely my bias.
That said: Suing a company because they are offering the same product for less money in a promotion - well, thats just business isn't it ???
Maybe, maybe they will last many years. But who wants to bet on that?
Who wants to buy a vehicle where the battery is maybe good for another 5 or 10 years, but maybe it is gone in two years, and then a replacement would cost more than the price of the second-hand car now.
With normal cars, people have decades of experience how they will last and about retail values. With EVs, no experience, big risk.
They still haven’t paid for all the western aircraft they looted ,billions of dollars ,which could be taken from their frozen assets in actual fact
still they can’t get any spares to keep em running ,like their western cars that can’t get any spares

Possible you've been flagged as a money laundering risk, if so they will contact you, but most likely just a little delay, assuming you followed the same process as before
