It'd be nice to have cost effective Canadian made EVs, but if more on the road is the goal, this is a much faster way. China makes some compelling EV's at very competitive prices.
-
Since when has Canada ever made even fuel efficient cars?

Moe definitely wants those Canola countermeasures dropped. I don't mind this ask from him, from the POV of EVs or canola.
-
Thanks. I was racing in head trying to find a reason why he's saying this. This makes sense. They buy our canola, we buy their EVs.
-
So we fuck over a major Ontario industry to unfuck a major Saskatchewan industry.
BYD and Geely are dumping EVs below cost, hiding a debt that may be bigger than Evergrande. The point is to put local auto industry out of business.
And while people somehow see the appeal of TEMU cars, the reality in Australia is that buyers are complaining about poor reliability already after just 2 years.

Because smith said it 2 weeks ago

No we shouldn't.
Batteries? Sure Whole cars? No
Why?
The damn things are computers with wheels, and we should not allow nonallied (potentially even US) made control of such systems.

On one hand:
- cheaper EV options would be dope!
On the other hand:
- dependancy on China/CCP seems risky at best reckless at worst.
Personally I'd rather see increased incentives or pushing negotiations with South Korea or Germany for EV alternatives

We should get assembly deals in Canada with Renault. Their EVs are smaller, much cheaper and selling so well they can't produce them fast enough. The entire concept of EVs being expensive is a fabrication of the industry. It now costs less to make an EV than an ICE, battery costs have dropped 90% in a decade. Tesla makes the highest profit margins in the industry. But, we let Detroit not only dictate the large trucks we make, but close the CDN market to smaller foreign EVs.

Dependency on the US seems reckless at best and disastrous at worst
-
Those are not mutually exclusive.

-
China is a necessary evil to stop US aggression. SK and Europe combined don’t have the military strength unfortunately.
Ideally our allies would be EU, CANZUK, China
-
How does cheaper options on a product = dependency?
-
It's the model of companies/China running at a loss until you squeeze out any viable competitors then once you've captured the market increase price and/or enshittify your product.
-
Talk to all the retail shops shut down by Walmart and Amazon.
-
-
cheap chinese motors and batteries for ebikes pls
-
We're getting both of those things already. You looked on Amazon lately? EVs means electric cars

I hate that I agree with Saskatchewan’s DUI hire on anything.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day...
