  1. Should’ve seen these reductions in new driving applicants coming. Quite frankly, this has been coming for a very long time. Who on earth now can actually reasonably afford a new car or even a good secondhand power without having to somehow set up a second loan/mortgage or something. so much for affordability it’s all nonsense. Our countries shouldn’t be surprised that we want to buy Chinese. When it comes to EV production, they are our only real option apart from Tesla. And yes, I put Chinese EV’s up there, thanks the fact that they actually at least have some good technology in them at an affordable price. And they are not just cheap and cheerful/Low quality, they are actually really good now but that ‘stigma’ is still a helpful thing for Western governments that want people to keep buying their products. I hate the CCP with a bane, but that doesn’t mean that companies car are bad. Yes, China can afford the charger a lot of these prices. Thanks for the fact that they want to be competitive and they get subsidies from the government, but it’s also because they’ve actually got control of a lot of valuable mineral supply chains, which sadly in the west failed to do in favour of oil reserves. They knew what button to press for the future, and ours failed when we begged our countries not to do so and actually think about the future rather than short term gains. We need to be allowed to actually have the freedom to buy what we want over national protectionism. If they don’t want us to do this, then actually give the people what they f%@king want. ‘You serve us, not we serve you’. Remember that.

  2. That’s sadly what I want to do now. I wish it would be otherwise as I don’t want to directly or indirectly be supporting the CCP (especially as we might indeed potentially be at war with them within the decade), but at this point now, we really don’t have much choice. Give the people what they want and actually get hold of the freaking supply chains and stop going for mass quality over any sort of ‘quantity’ and start producing cheaper EVs, otherwise we will go elsewhere.
