Chinese EVs’ Shocking Truth: Lifespan Only Four-Five Years! Intentional

In a way, this lady is lucky. She learned this hard truth before sinking tens of thousands of yuan into repairs, which would have trapped her even more. What was supposed to save money by being an electric vehicle has now turned into a money pit.

So the total cost of ownership over 8 years is above Korean, Japanese or German cars.
Buying cheap equals buying twice

There are fundamental rules in electronics. If something is battery powered, it is not considered an "electrical" item, as its not plugged into a power source to operate. And battery powered anything that cannot have the batteries changed easily by the owner, is a disposable product. Any electronics engineer and they will tell you that.

They want to make them just like phones replaceable but cry about the environment in the same breath there actual clowns

[tanpengjoo]

Chinese can replicate design but cannot quality standard

[gbadspcps]

Japanese goods used to be low quality as well but they improved because the companies and the government could be held to account. I don't see the same transformation taking place here.

"what do you think this is ? the US national deficit??" is the best clap back from china I have heard thus yet!

So my 15 year old Ford Mondeo is still going strong, you would need to produce 4 to 5 Chinese cars to do the same job, replacing them every 5 years. How is that good for the environment?

[BKitty]

Made in China standard...by now, I am surprised people still got hooked.

[steampunkster]

BYD and MG are here in the Philippines, and their quality is questionable. I urge Filipinos not to buy these ladyboy vehicles and opt for a Korean or Japanese, kei cars (fuel based like Mitsubishi Delica Mini) if possible so that there will be less congestion on our roads.

And the moral of the story is “Don’t buy cheap Chinese junk”.

WE have 3 Tesla cars. The oldest is 9 years old and has 158, 000 miles or 254, 000 km. Battery is still at 87% of original range and we have spent $0.00 on repairs - Even the brakes are like new. So - you should just be careful to buy a high quality EV if you do not want to have problems.

Imagine the phenomenal amount of coal fired power used to manufacture these useless rapidly disposable Chinese vehicles? There's nothing "new energy" about such junk. What a pathetic pitch.

[ogremgtow]

I will keep my 20 year old Volvo thank you.

[chrismayer]

I hate to be an ‘I told you so’ but… I TOLD YA SO!!! (When will these peeps ever learn?) 🤦

[JeffreySoucie]

Welcome to vehicle ownership. The bottomless hole for your money.

[GizzyDillespee]

My car is a 23 year old gas vehicle, and it's still going strong. But they try to tell me that manufacturing 3 or 4 additional EVs during that time (which is the usual EV buying schedule), and running them on coal and gas charged batteries, is better for the environment, somehow. It's a scam. Since they don't report the environmental costs of manufacturing an electric vehicle, and they don't consider the source of the electricity, then they can claim that EVs are better for the environment. But only focusing on vehicle emissions is lying by omission.

I just graduated engineering school when I watched a Texas Instruments (they used to make many integrated circuits) seminar about using integrated circuits, now simply called "chips", in an automotive environment. The extreme temperatures required full military temperature range chips. Consumer grade chips, as this video rightly pointed out, simply are designed for benign environments, and will fail when subjected to the harsh automotive environment. Any manufacturer using consumer grade chips in an automobile is selling ticking time bombs.

Battery is the biggest cost of EVs, replacing is as good as buying a new EV😂😂😂😂😂😂
