    Considering if a cheap car will last CDN winters is anti-China?

    How many new models from established companies are reliable? How many EVs from any company are reliable?

      If you don’t like cheap cars becuase they are cheap and made in China then why do cheap winter jackets made in China work in winters?

      If your point is against EVs in general, than that’s a different point. The only real problem of EVs in winter is charging and range. Reliability is not much of a problem that is a solved problem.

        Sure, lets compare a product of one part, no mechanism, to an electric car.

        Ask them in 8-10 years. Any car works fine for a few years. There is no data on long term Chinese EV reliability.

        It’s stupid to buy a new car model from established manufacturers.

        They will just say they are different just like why Canada winter is so different that we cannot use bikes here but they can.

          is so different that we cannot use bikes here but they can.

          But is is different, Norway has maintained bike lanes everywhere all winter.
