    Are they better? I can’t really answer that, since I don’t know. But I’d be willing to buy a Chinese EV.

    I don’t understand that mindset. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to inform yourself before buying something so expensive? Who is going to repair that car? How long will you get parts for it? What if the US and China start a trade war? Will you still get parts? I’m in Europe and nevertheless I think we will have a lot of problems if the US and China start a trade war.

    I don’t even have to consider worker’s rights, human rights or environmental oversight in China. My own selfishness tells me that I should not buy a Chinese car.
