[quote=Anonymous]I was in two major cities in China last year (Shanghai and Chengdu) and the EVs are impressive. About half the cars on the road are EVs or hybrids -- easy to tell because they have a green license plate. The interior and interface on the EVs is way ahead of just about all I've seen on EVs from other countries, except maybe Tesla (interface-wise.. Tesla interiors are nothing special). Yes, those $20k EVs will not pass US crash testing, but give it a year or two and they will, if they want to. Chinese EVs do sell in Europe, so they need to meet the NCAP safety regulations which are not far from US safety regs. And in my recent trip to Southeast Asia, Chinese EVs are really taking over. Consumers there are very price-conscious, and you get a lot of value for your money, crashworthiness aside. The biggest issue there is lack of public EV charging infrastructure, but most people seem to be using them around town so can charge at home. [/quote]
