      As far as I know, you can’t buy a BYD in the US, which is a shame. At $12,000 I’d much rather own a new BYD Seagul than a used ICE car with its breakage prone overly complicated and polluting engineering. https://youtu.be/anoliCXXKIA/&t=119

      At least I can still buy an ebike!

        Yeah and, Chinese engineering isn’t brakage prone? I doubt those cars will see 100kkm on their odometers and thats hardly the eco-revolution we need.

      They sell them in the UK now. I’ve seen a few on the road. There are a couple of dozen showrooms in the country now, and my utility (electricity and gas) supplier is offering them on finance (amongst a few other options).

      So yeah, they’re out there.
