At present, all bus taxis UBER(DIDI) are almost all lithium battery cars in our province, because the minimum temperature here is 6 degrees in winter, so there are a lot of lithium electric vehicles in our country, BYD and TESLA are the best sold electric vehicle brands. in Guangzhou city I live, 20% of our buses are hydrogen fuel cells and the others are lithium battery buses. There are almost no gas fuel bus and taxis in the southern provinces of China. my family have two cars, but they are both gas fuel cars, but we are more accustomed to taking the bus. I take to work every day by the hydrogen fuel bus. it makes a little noise when it is running, but it is much smaller than the gas fuel bus.

@@VikingAge Electric cars are very popular here in Norway due to taxation of them. Also a lot of Chinese brands are sold here. We now have Hongqi, Nio and a few others as well. The first battery change station for Nio outside of China was actually set up in Norway . Hongqi is a massive car filled with luxury but still fairly cheap compared similar combustion cars. From an environmental perspective electric cars are perfect for this country since almost all of our electricity is from hydroelectric power plants. The numbers of fast chargers has also grown considerably over the last years. There are also plans to build hydrogen factories but that will most likely be made out of natural gas from the North Sea. On a global scale electric cars is probably not a good idea yet. The electricity has to be made one way or the other. Few countries have as many waterfalls as we have and wind and solar energy is not reliable enough. However it is not all bad because a lot of countries and companies are trying to develop nuclear energy based on so called molten salt reactors. If they succeed,and I think they will the world will be provide with energy for centuries to come. One of the most interesting projects started in China last September. They have set up a test plant in the Gobi desert that will be able to supply 2000 households with electricity. Unlike traditional reactors this type of reactor does not require a lot of water for cooling. If successful they will start to mass produce this type of reactor with much higher capacity by 2030.

This car is being on sale in China for some months, so I thought all those usability nags, that can be corrected by a software update, should already be a thing of the past. I’m not seeing that they will change much on the customer cars, and less if those cars are already on the way to Norway. And the lack of brightness of the displays. Well, you can’t change everything with software. Displays with low brightness are much cheaper than displays with high brightness, and if you want to go the cheaper way then you have to add something to prevent glare. My conclusion, this is a big car for not that much money, but I have some doubt that it will keep the value over time, but time will tell.🤷♂️

Middle classes won't drive the ev revolution it's cars between 20 to 30k that will appeal to the majority of people who want to move from their ice to a EV. This is where Xpeng and Byd come in. European manufacturers need to get their fingers out their,,,. Because China cars are coming and have the best tech longer range and way cheaper than any other cars out there. Legacy automakers are still reliant on there ice cars and if you want a EV from Ford to hyundai you are waiting 6 to 9 months. Chip shortage is an excuse but they are way behind on battery supply. Look at byd massive company not just cars buses trucks etc. Even Toyota will be using their blade battery which is a industry leader. BYD build everything in their car battery motor seats etc. Only tesla are a comparison. Byd have plans within the next 2 years to have 500 mile EVs that will be affordable and have the latest tech with long term warranty. .

Oh and road noise is a show shopper .. BYD has a long way to go .. so it’s healthy to get honest feedback .. This guy is very very trustworthy.. thank you.. So, let’s get started. The design is old hat.. a boring look, very. My general conclusion is that BYD are third rate in fit out .. plasticy and cheap.. they’ll need to get that fixed .. glare and lack of brightness on infotainment system is a serious show stopper .. he also says there is limited functionality . This is serious stuff. VW stuffed it’s infotainment system on ID 4, BYD are juniors in everything but batteries, so prepare for .. inferiority. The only mantra at BYD is ‘get the cars out’, senior executives there have only one KPI, until the world falls apart with its lousy quality. Just imagine what a meal they are going to make of all this sub standard quality. Despite all the hype, they’re going to make a lot of own goals. BYD need to get serious about presenting a complete car, they need to be told now to invest in quality.. and if they don’t, believe me, we will label them rightly as … lemons, just like what happened to Hyundai .. with the Excel.. it was rubbish. In this digital age, a poor review, particularly when the lousy stuff isn’t fixed, will bury them. As the review continues, the conclusion is that this BYD is cheap and nasty .. the screen looks lousy. I have banged on before about my grave doubts that the BYD infotainment doing a great job. It is p week .. omg .. You know something, all BYDs that will released next year.. EA1 and YUAN plus, for example,will be well below the quality what you get with, say, in most US cars . The BYD strategy to pump out cars with shite systems .. and not care .. will bite them and Buffet badly. Westerners will reject them, and BYD will fail quickly if it doesn’t embrace .. quality ..it’s looking poor for them. I say to BYD, send these shite cars to the non discerning Chinese public.. they just want a car that goes from a to b, truly. Westerners don’t want basic shite though, they don’t.

@@phoarey I'm getting sick of Sam Evans promoting his vested interest in BYD. He is trashing authenticity when it is clear that in the West in particular byd has not had the blow torch put to their cars. Evans never ever reads out to us the poor reviews, he only responds to good stuff and to people who agree with him. The Pang review recently would put you off .. completely .. significant issues with a third rate Infotainment System.. both its hardware and software... its gunna being a mass produced lemon .. to meet the mission statement of get" the cars out," Someone challenged my statement that Pang had a poor review, by asserting that there atecgoid reviews.. Thats complete rubbish ... no one with half a brain would ignore the poor review I found... noone .. unless they just wanted a car and didn't care that it was lousy .. these people exist

@@pragmatist165 I think you're just a China hater. Just like the review you referring to. You made about 50 hate comments on BYD just on this video. Sales in China don't lie my boy. BYD is crushing everyone in China right now. They don't just want a car that drives from a to b. Premium brands like Mercedes are very popular in China. They make like 40% of their whole revenue over there. You're funny, just a little hater

Forget Taiwan let's have a non military issue to expose China for taking fish the lot .. all they can get in the waters of other sovereign nations.. And yes tell them to stop it or face military action. We have had enough. They will ignore requests unless they have a real threat

@@abraxastulammo9940 E-tron's battery is from the Chinese (CATL), as are battery control software, various controllers, and so on and son. By component value, it is mostly a Chinese car. The Germans stamped the body, the suspension, and other metal bits. The Germans had to rely on the Chinese because they have fallen very far behind in electric cars, while the Chinese now own the entire ecosystem for electric cars. There might still be time for the Germans to mount a defense, but they've already gotten to a late start.

Never gonna buy a Chinese car! When it's about the few things that are produced in Europe (not like consumer goods, smartphones, notebooks..), I stick to "Made in Europe" as long as possible. Sorry, BYD - go sell your products in Asia or the US!
