The Real Story of That Chinese EV Graveyard Isn’t What You Were Told They’re left behind from a big business gone bust, but that business wasn’t making EVs. However, a closer look reveals the opposite to be true: These are not new EVs, and they only number in the hundreds. Most are five to six years old and have seen significant use, with aftermarket accessories, trash in their interiors, and other signs of wear. That's because you're looking at a fleet of retired rideshare cars that were once operated in large cities in China. thedrive

You can plug it in at home And it’s shouldn’t be a problem unless you travel more than 250 klm round trip in your average day to day driving

BYD has in-house everything from the Lithium mines to their own 7000 Car cargo ships which they plan to have 8 in total There are subsidies to buy EV cars in China just like the USA

@kenso888 ⁠many are from failed ride hailing companies where there are still 300 left In China No one is going to buy a used EV when they are obsolete, new EVs are affordable and have better tech And for sure no one is going to start up a new Ride hailing company, using the EVs from a failed ride hailing company Better to just recycle them 👇 China is way ahead China is the world's biggest EV producer and market. It's also a leader in battery recycling. China's EV battery recycling market is about 10 times larger than the EU's, Christoph Neef, a scientist at the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research in Germany, told DW. China, a major producer and processor of key battery raw materials like lithium and graphite, could replace lithium obtained by mining with recycled lithium in EV batteries from 2059 onward, according to a study by the University of Münster in Germany. By comparison, Europe and the US are expected to reach that milestone only after 2070. As far as nickel is concerned, China can probably meet demand through recycling in 2046 at the earliest, with Europe following in 2058 and the US from 2064 onward. DW

China has a big recycling industry expected they will be able to provide their lithium batteries need by 2059 by recycling alone

@abdulaziz-montana Cold-area car testing industry heats up in NE China Xinhua | Updated: 2024-01-17 14:20 * HARBIN -- With the temperature outside nearing minus 25 degrees Celsius, Jin Lei could recently be seen driving down a test road on a frozen river, turning and braking occasionally as snow flew up behind the wheels. * Wang Yulong, director of the Heihe municipal industry and information technology bureau, said that the city has 12 car testing enterprises and more than 120 testing roads, which can meet test requirements in different conditions. Wang said that Heihe has also opened facilities including a reception service center for car testing enterprises, and introduced regulations for cold-area car testing industry services in Heihe. Statistics show that the city's cold-area car testing business volume accounts for more than 80 percent of China's total. According to Chen Gang, an expert from the China Society of Automotive Engineers, the number of new vehicle models is increasing, and the research and development cycle is becoming shorter, which provides more space for the development of Heihe's cold-area car testing industry. The booming industry has also injected vitality into local economic development. Data shows that during the annual car testing season, Heihe's car testing industry generates hundreds of millions of yuan in revenue for sectors such as accommodation, catering, retail and transportation.

@lmao22683 yeah now you Can come back to Canada where criminals have a 50 crime rap sheet. Commit a crime and are back on the street the next day… but gawd forbid we commit a crime on this person ourselves Or be told to put our car keys near the front door so we are not confronted by a home invader looking to take our cars 🙄

@miraphycs7377 Nine Chinese cars scored five stars in Euro NCAP in 2023 In 2023, Euro NCAP crash-tested 17 cars. Nine of them were Chinese EVs, accumulating over 50% of assessed vehicles. According to E-NCAP, Chinese manufacturers were anxious to prove their relevance to European buyers. They have achieved this goal because every evaluated made-in-China car got five stars.

@harmhoeks5996 not really those cars are obsolete and China has a really good recycling sector these days These are failed ride share companies So it’s an unpalatable option of resurrecting these cars which only have a commercial use and there are still 300 rife share companies in China 👇 The Real Story of That Chinese EV Graveyard Isn’t What You Were Told They’re left behind from a big business gone bust, but that business wasn’t making EVs.

@CensortubesOwnsRedcomet0079 I’m not a 50 cent China poster Born and raised in Canada Problem is a person like you???? Would not believe a single word Mainstream Media tells you unless it’s about China then you believe every single word of without question This reporter was picking and choosing what she told you on those EV graveyards Because we already know most EVs in those graveyards were from failed ride haling app companies where there is still 300 of these companies left in China Very important to know since there is a online western narrative (well from a white separatist who went to China to find a woman) that the Chinese Government is buying EVs and just dumping them in graveyards which has been debunked…. And easy to tell from our own eyes from watching the video While most people in the comments are debating about green or blue license plates Hangzhou has a driver license plate lottery… you don’t have a plate you don’t get to drive a car ICE/EV So those license plates would be worth more than any car itself Unless they are commercial plates and useless for any other use

@CensortubesOwnsRedcomet0079 Yes words do matter… the narrative you are trying to put forward has already been debunked. Which is what this reporter danced around Most EV cars in Chinese graveyards are from failed ride share app companies in which China still has 300 of them Thats not that hard to see if you really knew anything about China (If you see the threads on this forum, most people are arguing about the blue or green license plate you see in the video) What really matters? Hangzhou has a license plate lottery don’t win the lottery for a license plate, you don’t get to drive a car So those license plates would be worth more than the car itself. Unless ……., they were for commercial use (Making the idea of someone starting up an already failed ride share company and using these obsolete EV cars unpalatable) You should understand 30 million cars are sold in China every year 8 million of those are EV The Chinese Government could easily force people to buy EV cars or get rid of those lotteries in their big cities for EV cars if they really wanted to

@TeeHee-vo1bn the point is they are failed ride share companies EVs and the cars are already obsolete as it’s only taking 2 years from conception/design to having these cars come off the assembly line for these EV companies Yes there is way to many EV car companies way too many ride share companies for that matter (300), but then it forces companies to make good qualify cars/innovation at competitive prices With the Chinese Government cracking down on real estate/speculation. Their people are still adding around 2.6 trillion their bank accounts every year There is only so much gold that they can buy And their Government actually pushing their people to invest in technology instead Where China leads the world in 37 of 44 critical technologies of the future We are going to see even more innovative products and services in the future and at cheaper prices like it or not

@TeeHee-vo1bn 30 million cars are sold in China every year only 8 million are EVs Next year they expected 10 million to be EVs But that’s still 20 million ICE vehicles next year 👇 There are over 360 million cars circulating in China at the moment and the average Chinese motorist buys a new car every 5.5 years. At that rate, car graveyards fill up pretty quickly. In fact, this graveyard is also home to old taxis, motorcycles and scooters. Supercarblondie
1
@TeeHee-vo1bn time for you to move on as most articles say they are used EVs 5 to 6 years old I even found articles that cite taxis drivers use their cars 24/7 And I found articles taking about China had a problem with wildcat recycling companies not sanctioned by the Government So they have a robust recycling industry But then the real issue to you is China is the only country allowed to have vehicle graveyards when the average Chinese buys a new car every 5.5 years Probably because they have money and you don’t

@RyanBlockb5 btw you do know that 2000 fires each year, factoid you are giving, is electric bikes right?

@RyanBlockb5 That Chat GTP AI sucks 👇 Statistics Show ICE Vehicle Fires 20 Time More Likely Than EV Fires In fact, electric vehicle fires are so rare that statistics show internal combustion engine (ICE) cars are 20 to 80 times more likely to catch fire compared to EVs. Electric bikes and scooters also have a higher chance of catching fire compared to EVs, making electric cars relatively fire-safe compared to other vehicles on the road. GreenCarStocks

@RyanBlockb5 well your chat gtp Ai search results gave you E bikes Where 80% are catching fire because of people charging them wrong And the rest where companies are making it so the e bikes are running to fast
