Chinese EV Thoughts? Curious on more technical info

Doom and gloom aside the Renault R5 is rated by many to be the best EV in the world.
Yeah who knows I could be totally wrong. I don't put much stock in anyone's future predictions anymore.

When was the last time an economist was right about anything?
 
The West is just going to have to swallow this reality. There is no getting around it IMO. And our wonderful leaders let it happen over the course of 4 decades. Well done.
Maybe. A century of auto construction has its benefits. Upstarts have teething problems galore.

All of my F150’s lasted decades. I fully expect my 2024 to be similar.

I’ll bet a dollar Chinese cars will suffer from needless and unnecessary problems
 
China has its own problems though so how this all pans out long term is anyone's guess.

"It's bad. It's really bad. Over 20% of unemployment. Millions of youth with a university degree are unable to find a job. At the same time, good plumbers and electricians are making good money. Very similar to Europe and the US actually. The Chinese government refuses to invest in technical schools so young students don't want to enroll in an underfunded trade school. Jobs like delivery driver or taxi driver are saturated with hardly any income. EV factories have been warned to slow down. I don't see where jobs are supposed to come from.
Over 12 million Chinese graduated in July...Next year another 12 million...What on earth are they going to do with them? Send them to the countryside?"
