Still want an EV? (NO POLITICS)

BYD owns its own battery supply chain too, helping margins even as the cost of the materials needed to make its cars has increased.
Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) President Scott Paul has previously called BYD “an arm of China’s military and government” because of the automaker’s direct ties to the CCP and the billions in subsidies it enjoys.

What could possibly go wrong. BYD the new Huawei

EDIT : I just read the Belgian government (The Muppet Show) has ordered 500 (!) 'Electric BYD buses in China !
The Belgian bus factory Van Hool will not survive that ...

But hey ! You can buy 'American freedom in China too

From today's news feed:

Climate INSANITY - It's too COLD for electric busses
Jan 4, 2024
This cold weather is causing trouble for public transport. You see, the city of Skellefteå where they "only" had -34C this morning, have been investing in electric busses, to save the climate of course! Their goal is to replace all diesel busses with electric as soon as possible.
But...
It turns out that they are having to CANCEL almost all busses today because of the cold weather - The busses have to be parked indoors to warm up.
"The electric busses will probably be removed from traffic this afternoon because they have very difficult to keep warm when in service...It is clear that the electric busses are affected the most of this extreme cold" said Marie Larsson, CEO at Skellefteå buss.
When asked if diesel busses can manage these kind of temperatures, she answered "Yes. I mean, no busses can handle these kind of temperatures for long...when it is like this for several days, all busses are affected"
So it is too cold for the new electric busses. They invest all this time and money into something that doesn't work because of the weather.
Of course, the electric busses use their battery to heat the cabin, meaning that the range is drastically shortened. Is this the real issue here?
Maybe we need some more global warming so that these electric busses can work properly...?

I’m in the Southeast US. The thick ascending limb is a very important part of the renal tubule and I am a nephrologist.

As Ive suspected Environ'mentalists' were the lube and Tesla EV's were the finger.
The politicians want only EV sales. The customer wants cheap motoring.
Nice and open for BYDi.k to enter through the backdoor.

Over here It's also winter with freeze temps. But -34°C ?!?! Wow man that's really cold !
Well , I can't find anyone in Belgium who is skilled to repair an Electric Chinese bus !
But our Belgian king , king Filip was in China to make interesting business deals and to fill his own pockets .
But he puts his own Belgian people on the street without a job ..
Who the f@ck cares for that ...

I'd bet that is not real temp but "Feels Like Temperature". I've skied numbers of days at -30 because I had too (Job) and I can tell you that the slopes are pretty open from -10 on, but the bar is hopping.

Yeah . It feels colder but that's 'still cold enough , over here (Wednesday) we'll get a -8 with snow .

I'm pretty sure , -8 is enough to drain the batteries of a cheap Chinese fire-starter bus !

LMFAO !!!

At least theirs don't get lost twice in one day. Wifey pulls him offstage then a military guy points where to walk later on.
