  • Trolleybuses have been replaced by metro systems in many parts of the world over the past several decades. Going back to trolleybuses makes little sense.

  • There are some other U.S.-market EVs that contain Chinese batteries, like the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the all-wheel-drive variant of the Toyota bZ4X

    There is more information in the article than just the headline.

  • to the point where Russia was worried about Chinese influence in Ukraine

    Is there a source on that?

  • My assumption is that if Chinese EVs manufactured in Mexico prove to be superior to domestic alternatives, it could undermine the narrative of Chinese EVs being better due to factors like cheap labor etc.

  • then raise prices when their competition is gone

    It didn't occur in industries where China holds a strong presence, such as solar and other renewable energy equipment, or in lower-tech products available on platforms like AliExpress, Amazon, and eBay. So, why would it be different for electric vehicles (EVs)? Currently, the primary foreign competitor for EVs in China is Tesla, and prices for EVs are decreasing rapidly.

    BYD electric vehicles are sold at a significantly higher profit margin in Europe compared to China.

  • Do provide a source that shows Chinese cars are made with child labour.

  • I've heard people using Chinese EVs in China saying that using them long term often is a pain because they're so poorly designed

    Source for that claim?

  • Technically Volvo and polestar are Chinese owned brands selling made in China EVs in the US.

    I don't think there will be more as the US will do protectionist measures if they or other Chinese EVs become too successful.

  • When Chinese manufacturers sell their EVs abroad at prices below production costs (dumping)

    This is outright false considering EVs made in China are sold overseas at usually twice what it is sold in China.

    For example the Kia EV5 is sold at $20k in China while the same made in China model is sold overseas Starting at $46k

  • I suppose the dealer knows an EV would result in them earning a lower profit from the lack of servicing required.
