They have been doing that to everything they make it always breaks apart so fast that buying them over and over ends up costing more than when we would make them in the west it was a higher cost but the quality was vastly superior so you could keep the things for a lifetime.
Same goes for their military technology, countries that bought items thinking they were getting a good deal became unsatisfied with the quality and performance.
Amen! Big point for most EV's chinese or not, is the max state of charge programming. These EV packs last MUCH longer if you only charge to 80%. Not even Tesla has this. The BMW i3 is the only model I know of that has this feature which will allow the battery to last 2-3x longer if properly maintained. You'd never know either as the i3 charges to 100% but it's actually only 80%
if you convert 100k yuan to usd its around 14k, with the cheapest electric vehicle I could find in 1 google search is 29k usd. they cost half the price they would in the us so it's no surprise they only last half as long lol.

There are fundamental rules in electronics. If something is battery powered, it is not considered an "electrical" item, as its not plugged into a power source to operate. And battery powered anything that cannot have the batteries changed easily by the owner, is a disposable product. Any electronics engineer and they will tell you that.

Firstly you should improve your English before commenting. Secondly you must always question whatever comes out from this channel. Never accept blindly. If they are not capable of making an ev of acceptable quality , why are their evs dominating in so many markets around the world? Why are the EU and US so worried about Chinese evs coming into their markets. They had to rush to impose high tariffs to protect their own auto industry from getting demolished. Both needed tariffs because they know their competitor has a better and cheaper product than theirs.
Japanese goods used to be low quality as well but they improved because the companies and the government could be held to account. I don't see the same transformation taking place here.
Japanese put their heart and soul into their work, Chinese just cut corners as much as possible and produce disposable products. It's the difference in culture
This is everything people said about Japanese stuff in the 1950s. China's design and engineering are improving fast enough that when reliability becomes a point of prestige, it will probably become a higher priority.

@@haz3004 That's what everybody said about Chinese electronic audio equipment 10 and 5 years ago. Now their DACs/Headphone amps/and recently even a couple of amplifiers are the top measuring products on ASR...These $500 Chinese DACs completely outperform $10000 DACs by "reputable" legacy brands. Japan made a reputation for itself in audio electronics in the 1970s, then 10 or 15 years later took over the compact car market. Chinese business culture is a little different. The higher ups in Chinese companies are young engineers, not marketers or bean counters or MBAs. They are easily reached and consulted for technical decisions. And the companies iterate and improve suprisingly fast. The only time the West has improved at this pace was during WW2, and 1990s computers, but China is doing this across the board.
It's because they don't know the true national deficit of China. Once they hear the real numbers, which the CCP would never disclose, you'll be like OMFG!!!
I laughed when I heard that! It probably mean Chinese state approved propaganda emphasizes US debt while not mentioning a ballooning debt problem in China, including the cost of vast ghost cities.
While I did to laugh at this. BUT then I couldn’t stop laughing cuz Chyna’s rate of debt is actually 3x higher than the US is. And at a much, much shorter time frame too. So it’s even funnier that he was making fun of the US, but his own reality doesn’t even realize that he is heading to the abyss super quickly. 😂😂😂😂 Fun times!
So my 15 year old Ford Mondeo is still going strong, you would need to produce 4 to 5 Chinese cars to do the same job, replacing them every 5 years. How is that good for the environment?
Di sone thinking and don't be naive. There's a reason why EU and US had to rush to impose high tariffs on Chinese evs. They know that's the only way to protect their own from better built and more affordable Chinese imports. They can't compete without trade barriers. Simple as that.
BYD and MG are here in the Philippines, and their quality is questionable. I urge Filipinos not to buy these ladyboy vehicles and opt for a Korean or Japanese, kei cars (fuel based like Mitsubishi Delica Mini) if possible so that there will be less congestion on our roads.
Nobody is buying EVs here anyway. I have never seen any here in the province. Only people in NCR buy them. Only e-bikes and trikes sell well outside NCR and those last even shorter than the EVs. These EVs are worse for the climate than traditional gas powered cars.
@@GerbenWulff Yes, ebikes are much better with EV tech, and to add, EV vehicles has an awful short range, and powering up the battery overnight for it is impractical.
@@jobturkey7418 that's a bit of an unfair statement. Reason that we don't buy goods from America or Europe is that the consumer has to shoulder the logistics fee that is included in the price of the item, making it expensive. Chinese goods on the other hand are cheaper because they're nearer, but quality is unassuring. So it's not shameful, they forced us _under duress_ to buy their stuff, and most of us don't have any choice. Most of us aren't elites who buys from places like BGC or Makati.

【The reason why Japanese products gained reliability in the 30 years from the 1950s to the 1980s, while Chinese products became high-tech in the 30 years from the 1990s to the 2020s, but remain unreliable.】 Japanese society is a craftsman society. They are stubborn, value tradition, and are slow to change. But once they understand the value of change, they quickly reflect its essence. Japanese people, who believe that the purpose of economic activity is the pursuit of happiness, create cars that can be used for 25 years. Chinese society is a merchant society. Focus on profit over quality and reliability. Monopolizing the market maximizes profits. Politics becomes hegemonic. The Chinese, whose purpose in economic activity is the pursuit of profits, produce cars that break down in five years and earn profits five times than Japanese.
The Japanese strategy was to make better cars than the Americans for the same or a lower price. Most Chinese companies focus on lower price (although there are a few companies that do try to make quality products). Now China has developed a reputation for itself that they sell cheap products, but with poor quality. The Chinese have been quite creative in finding ways to cut cost, although often at the expense of reliability, safety or other quality aspects. The sad thing is that these Chinese companies are not even profitable. They survive on subsidies and cheap loans and in order to keep raking in those subsidies, they have to expand their production. They keep growing until their government runs out of money to support them.
@@GerbenWulff Japanese cars and Chinese cars have different motives, so the countermeasures are also different. The CCP's national policy of Chinese cars seeking to monopolize the EV market by using low prices as a weapon can be resolved politically. On the other hand, the reason Japanese cars sell well even if they are expensive is their resale value. The reason why the reliability of Japanese cars has not declined even after 30 years of recession is due to the stubborn spirit of the craftsmanship, where consumers and engineers do not tolerate a decline in quality even when managers' incomes and stock dividends are reduced. . In this case, I think corporate acquisition is a countermeasure. Battery manufacturer BYD acquired a Japanese mold manufacturer and entered EV production, but they do not understand cars and are not fully utilizing it. GM and Ford could make better use of it.
@@hermitpurple3 Let me sum it up in one word for you: pride. Japanese are renown for taking pride in what they do: which means attention to detail and high standards of production from concept to design to execution.They recognise and expect it from one another. Chinese in China don't have that culture. Their standards are low and slipshod by comparison.
@@Waverlyduli Consumers value reliability, while manufacturers value consumer needs. For example, Toyota's answer to Japanese consumers who longed for American pickup trucks was the Hilux. The Hilux was a vehicle for the Japanese market that was designed to be parked in narrow Japanese garages. However, it was praised by a foul-mouthed critic on a BBC program, and many terrorists bought it. It seems that Toyota cannot understand why it sells well in the world market. I would mount a machine gun on a Ram, Chevrolet, or Ford pickup truck. The American market, which favors large cars, may be unique.
Imagine the phenomenal amount of coal fired power used to manufacture these useless rapidly disposable Chinese vehicles? There's nothing "new energy" about such junk. What a pathetic pitch.
Wrong. Coal is now being rapidly supplanted by renewables in China. Anyway you clearly have not researched the environmental impacts of manufacture and use of both EVs and ICEs. EVs will win out over ICEs, which use pretty much the same amount of energy to make, after around 10,000 miles.

I just graduated engineering school when I watched a Texas Instruments (they used to make many integrated circuits) seminar about using integrated circuits, now simply called "chips", in an automotive environment. The extreme temperatures required full military temperature range chips. Consumer grade chips, as this video rightly pointed out, simply are designed for benign environments, and will fail when subjected to the harsh automotive environment. Any manufacturer using consumer grade chips in an automobile is selling ticking time bombs.
Yup. They call new cars "energy efficient " yet theyre designed to be thrown away every 4-6 years. My 1994 truck has paid for itself and then some. Over 30 years. The savings of keeping it on the road even though less fuel efficient has saved 4 new trucks being built, which costs infinitely more energy and money.

That's the Little Pink mindset that has corrupted his brain. To rebel, I'm getting something American and V8 powered.
My car is a 23 year old gas vehicle, and it's still going strong. But they try to tell me that manufacturing 3 or 4 additional EVs during that time (which is the usual EV buying schedule), and running them on coal and gas charged batteries, is better for the environment, somehow. It's a scam. Since they don't report the environmental costs of manufacturing an electric vehicle, and they don't consider the source of the electricity, then they can claim that EVs are better for the environment. But only focusing on vehicle emissions is lying by omission.
My car only has 370000 km, so admittedly I haven't driven it as much per year as others might... but now let's see an EV last for half that long, either in years OR km. And no, I haven't replaced the motor or tranny. Just regular maintenance. The 4wd still works. It's great.
Yea I remember in the 80's after the energy crisis cars got a lot better milages today. For example why do I need a car that goes 130 mph when the speed limit is 70 mph. But China is producing more emission then all developed countries combined. The only time a EV make sense is if it is a second car you commute and can charge at home. But what a pain trying to take a trip to MT or SD.
My newer car is 27 years old and in nearly new condition even though I have never garaged it. I'm finishing up the refurbishment of my older car which is 45 years old and has been in my possession for 35 years. I'm 62 and have only owned one other car besides those two. I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to keep them both on the road for as long as I am still able to drive (provided no parts wear out that cannot be replaced or repaired).
To be fair, not all EVs are made this badly. Teslas (and others) with modern batteries should be good for many years. I wouldn't, however, buy a new one at the moment, because I think batteries will be much better in three or four years' time. (And because it is environmentally better to keep running my 2002 Mazda MX5 for as long as possible.)

Just don’t buy a Chinese vehicle. The Mitsubishi iMiev of my neighbor is 14 years old, and it still runs great. It basically charges completely by solar from the roof…

WE have 3 Tesla cars. The oldest is 9 years old and has 158,000 miles or 254,000 km. Battery is still at 87% of original range and we have spent $0.00 on repairs - Even the brakes are like new. So - you should just be careful to buy a high quality EV if you do not want to have problems.
My Model S is 11 years old, original full charge was 430km, now is 385km. Around 220k km. Just replaced the brakes recently. They still had 60% left but were cracking due to age.
Yeah, this is just a lie as the warranty on Xpeng vehicles is 5 years. So if all those parts really broke down between the 4-5 year mark then she would have them replaced all for free. Also, Xpeng doesn't represent all Chinese EVs. BYD is a much better brand with world class leading technology that Toyota has agreed to copy in all their future hybrids because it's the best of the best.
The bad stats in the video were courtesy of diverse Chinese government ministries themselves. And also they is international data. The Chinese can still push production simply because they have "numbers", that is, millions and millions of people (many times over the population of the rest of the world) that are still uninformed or that may be "patriotic". But eventually, "patriotism" won't push it over if bad quality keeps on going. Like the Soviet Union: goods and services were horrible, no matter if they could steal the raw materials from their oppressed countries.
I saw on utube the Chinese ev car dealers were actually buying and registering their brand new vehicles to inflate the sales figures The vehicles were then parked in a field out of the way and gathering dust And we are not just talking about a few ev’s , we are talking in the range of 10000 vehicles ! Don’t believe the Chinese govt propaganda machine
learned from an actual salesman off record Manufacturers consider the battery a consumable and non-resellable (for warranty, safety reasons) so day one of your purchase you immediately lose the"battery pack replacement cost" learn those words well and use them along every EV you see to understand the scam EV it's usually 33-66% of the new car price, this is why EV "depreciation" is so great there's another downside to them you need trained validated by the manufacturers mechanics to work on them so all 2nd hand EVs not sold by an official dealership have no maintenance done on them nor warranties once you buy it it's e-waste I learned that by a 2nd hand car seller who explained if he took any EV he would have to sell them "as is" and this is not something he wants to do
You can't be that dumb. Cars have actually used electricity for a while, the difference is EV cars actually "run & drive" on electricity itself, while anything before used some sorts of engines to actually y'k, produce energy and to move it.
EV is the future... Problems are the manufacturer's fault. Chinese EV makers wanted the money (from Chinese government) than make a reliable product. They want instant money.
It's not just EVs. In the UK we've had MG-branded SAIC petrol-engined cars for over a decade now. And from what I have seen, these cars are basically done at about 8 years or 80,000 miles. When you see 15 year old Ford, German, Japanese, French, Italian etc vehicles with 250k still working perfectly (and indeed 20+ year old MGs and Rovers from the British days still around - these cars never had the best reputation but they lasted far better than the new ones) it brings home just how inferior these cars are.
EIther German or Japanese. end of story. I had a Honda CRS back in the 90's . Drove it for 450,000 miles in 11 years. I ended up buying a jeep and gave the honda to my buddy as a gift and he drove it for another 10 years. cost was like 5000 usd.
Weird, I see some of those weird early european EV's. I know pretty slow and weak, still driving along. You can get an early prius and though boring, it will still work. But then this video is about CHINESE cars so... having them last for longer then 2 weeks is expecting too much.
My parents have a cheap used Nissan Leaf gen1. At 10 years old, with the original battery, the drive range is 100 km instead of the original 120 km, which is amazing. Also for the 4 years they own it, zero maintance was needed.
NIO ES8 Founder Edition still available in China and support battery swap of 150 kWh semi solid state battery with available software upgrade. Rent battery is very much easy for EV such as cost and services.
I have a 2006 ICE Mitsubishi, and it runs like a dream. I just change the oil and filter every 10,000km or 12 months. Usually costs about $100.00. A set of tyres every 3-4 years. Thats it. I paid $3,000 including registration for 12 months. Clearly better than an EV. I could easily sell it for the same price I purchased it for 10 years ago.

So much electronics these days, touch screens, sensors, AI and nothing's designed to be maintained, repaired or upgraded and the costs to keep these cars on the road, it's just not economically viable. However it's not just Chinese cars and it's what people want, people pay good money for rubbish tech.and don't value proper high quality engineering everywhere. My first car, a Renault was so simple, easy to fix,I worked on it myself, cost nothing to run.

You get what you pay for mate, if you're too stingy to spend more than $14k USD (100k yuan) on a brand new car, don't be surprised when it dies early. However, the video is BS as even a dodgier brand like Xpeng is covered by a 5 year warranty (10 years for the battery) which means it would all be replaced for free. Stick to BYD and Tesla for EVs, don't stinge out or you get what you pay for.
MG4 owner here. No regrets buying so far and looks well made TBH. Test drove a Tesla M3 and was underwhelmed. So much hype over Tesla, but I genuinely thought the MG4 was a better drive, though not as powerful, I admit. The group 48-50 insurance of all Tesla was the final nail in its coffin. The wife had the later MGZS EV that was also pretty good. The car literally saved her life when she had a head on crash at high speed six months ago. All the safety features worked brilliantly and the car even called the emergency services. All she had was seat belt injuries while the other ICE car driver nearly died with multiple injuries including punctured lung, broken sternum. She now has an ID3 which is ok, but very boring to drive compared to the MG4 which I think steers and handles much better. EVs aren't for everyone yet, but they are getting better with enough range for a lot of people now.
Yeah such a lie as the Xpengs are covered by a 5 year warranty so it would be fixed for free! She probably drove through flood waters and had her warranty voided so she's sore!
100,000 Yuan is £11,000. So far cheaper than replacing a battery in the West. Though, I think EU will better enforce fixing of non-battery issues for more reasonable amounts for far longer.
Buy a new EV for 80,000 yuan. Drive for 4 years n repair it for 70,000 yuan. Don't repair but sell it for 10,000 yuan add 70,000 yuan n get a new one. Smart..Right..?.👈✌️✌️😁

Yes. The truth is Chinese evs are better built, tech rich and more affordable. EU and US acknowledged that they cannot compete. So the only thing they can do to protect their own is to impose high tariffs. Simple as that.
EVs in general I will skip for now and I would never buy a Chinese EV. Battery range, charging speed and safety needs to improve before I buy one. I’ll keep my old Honda. Old Volvo’s are great, new Volvo’s forget it (Geely bought in 2010).
I am surprised they last that long. Meanwhile my Mazda tribute is 15 years old and still has another 10 year in her. I think they should totally ban these cars in the USA because of the spying risk and the danger to everyone on the road, not just the driver. Good video
If you use the heater or air conditioning, it drastically shortens the range. In a gas car, the heater uses the engine cooling water, ie uses waste energy.

That was the old American car manufacturing way for Chrysler, Gm, Ford. Basically, Toyota and Honda reversed that trend and why the Japanese took over the USA market. Now, all automakers make vehicles to last for at least 150k miles before they fall apart. However, the Japanese management especially Toyota still build vehicles that last with proper oil changes to over 300k miles. The only thing is that people get sick of vehicles and will trade it in lol.
Dunno what you guys worry about. I have 2 chinese SUVs & they are running fine. One is already 9yrs old & another is 6yrs old. I never took it back to official Service center since day one. I forgo the warranty as warranty doesnt mean a thing in my country. I ended up saving alot while cars have remain hassle free. SC couldn't do hanky panky with my cars thats why they remain trouble free. Wear & tear parts like absorbers & suspension bushes was only changed once for the 9yr old car.
That's what I've been saying about EVs, they are awesome toys but will only last 10 to 15 years but I've last 15 to 30 years when maintain properly. Just because you no longer have it after the first 5 years doesn't mean it goes to the junkyard. Because passed down by 4 more owners and get sold over seas.
So the total cost of ownership over 8 years is above Korean, Japanese or German cars.
Buying cheap equals buying twice

There are fundamental rules in electronics. If something is battery powered, it is not considered an "electrical" item, as its not plugged into a power source to operate. And battery powered anything that cannot have the batteries changed easily by the owner, is a disposable product. Any electronics engineer and they will tell you that.

Firstly you should improve your English before commenting. Secondly you must always question whatever comes out from this channel. Never accept blindly. If they are not capable of making an ev of acceptable quality , why are their evs dominating in so many markets around the world? Why are the EU and US so worried about Chinese evs coming into their markets. They had to rush to impose high tariffs to protect their own auto industry from getting demolished. Both needed tariffs because they know their competitor has a better and cheaper product than theirs.

Japanese goods used to be low quality as well but they improved because the companies and the government could be held to account. I don't see the same transformation taking place here.
Not gonna happen as long as the CCP and current culture stand. Even if change comes it’s going to take a generation or two to change the culture.
Japanese put their heart and soul into their work, Chinese just cut corners as much as possible and produce disposable products. It's the difference in culture
This is everything people said about Japanese stuff in the 1950s. China's design and engineering are improving fast enough that when reliability becomes a point of prestige, it will probably become a higher priority.

Now their DACs/Headphone amps/and recently even a couple of amplifiers are the top measuring products on ASR...These $500 Chinese DACs completely outperform $10000 DACs by "reputable" legacy brands. Japan made a reputation for itself in audio electronics in the 1970s, then 10 or 15 years later took over the compact car market.
Chinese business culture is a little different. The higher ups in Chinese companies are young engineers, not marketers or bean counters or MBAs. They are easily reached and consulted for technical decisions. And the companies iterate and improve suprisingly fast. The only time the West has improved at this pace was during WW2, and 1990s computers, but China is doing this across the board.

The fact that Phillipinos buy anything Chinese is quite shameful
@@jobturkey7418 that's a bit of an unfair statement. Reason that we don't buy goods from America or Europe is that the consumer has to shoulder the logistics fee that is included in the price of the item, making it expensive. Chinese goods on the other hand are cheaper because they're nearer, but quality is unassuring. So it's not shameful, they forced us _under duress_ to buy their stuff, and most of us don't have any choice. Most of us aren't elites who buys from places like BGC or Makati.
it's called planned obsolescence
Except in this case the obsolescence timeline isn't viable for the consumer.

【The reason why Japanese products gained reliability in the 30 years from the 1950s to the 1980s, while Chinese products became high-tech in the 30 years from the 1990s to the 2020s, but remain unreliable.】
Japanese society is a craftsman society. They are stubborn, value tradition, and are slow to change. But once they understand the value of change, they quickly reflect its essence.
Japanese people, who believe that the purpose of economic activity is the pursuit of happiness, create cars that can be used for 25 years.
Chinese society is a merchant society.
Focus on profit over quality and reliability.
Monopolizing the market maximizes profits.
Politics becomes hegemonic.
The Chinese, whose purpose in economic activity is the pursuit of profits, produce cars that break down in five years and earn profits five times than Japanese.
The Japanese strategy was to make better cars than the Americans for the same or a lower price. Most Chinese companies focus on lower price (although there are a few companies that do try to make quality products). Now China has developed a reputation for itself that they sell cheap products, but with poor quality. The Chinese have been quite creative in finding ways to cut cost, although often at the expense of reliability, safety or other quality aspects. The sad thing is that these Chinese companies are not even profitable. They survive on subsidies and cheap loans and in order to keep raking in those subsidies, they have to expand their production. They keep growing until their government runs out of money to support them.
@@GerbenWulff Japanese cars and Chinese cars have different motives, so the countermeasures are also different.
The CCP's national policy of Chinese cars seeking to monopolize the EV market by using low prices as a weapon can be resolved politically.
On the other hand, the reason Japanese cars sell well even if they are expensive is their resale value.
The reason why the reliability of Japanese cars has not declined even after 30 years of recession is due to the stubborn spirit of the craftsmanship, where consumers and engineers do not tolerate a decline in quality even when managers' incomes and stock dividends are reduced. .
In this case, I think corporate acquisition is a countermeasure.
Battery manufacturer BYD acquired a Japanese mold manufacturer and entered EV production, but they do not understand cars and are not fully utilizing it.
GM and Ford could make better use of it.
@@hermitpurple3 Let me sum it up in one word for you: pride.
Japanese are renown for taking pride in what they do: which means attention to detail and high standards of production from concept to design to execution.They recognise and expect it from one another. Chinese in China don't have that culture. Their standards are low and slipshod by comparison.
@@Waverlyduli Consumers value reliability, while manufacturers value consumer needs.
For example, Toyota's answer to Japanese consumers who longed for American pickup trucks was the Hilux.
The Hilux was a vehicle for the Japanese market that was designed to be parked in narrow Japanese garages.
However, it was praised by a foul-mouthed critic on a BBC program, and many terrorists bought it.
It seems that Toyota cannot understand why it sells well in the world market.
I would mount a machine gun on a Ram, Chevrolet, or Ford pickup truck.
The American market, which favors large cars, may be unique.

Ford CEO said in a press conference before making the Mustang EV that EV car will only last 3 to 4 years.
I just graduated engineering school when I watched a Texas Instruments (they used to make many integrated circuits) seminar about using integrated circuits, now simply called "chips", in an automotive environment. The extreme temperatures required full military temperature range chips. Consumer grade chips, as this video rightly pointed out, simply are designed for benign environments, and will fail when subjected to the harsh automotive environment. Any manufacturer using consumer grade chips in an automobile is selling ticking time bombs.
Yup. They call new cars "energy efficient " yet theyre designed to be thrown away every 4-6 years. My 1994 truck has paid for itself and then some. Over 30 years. The savings of keeping it on the road even though less fuel efficient has saved 4 new trucks being built, which costs infinitely more energy and money.

My car is a 23 year old gas vehicle, and it's still going strong. But they try to tell me that manufacturing 3 or 4 additional EVs during that time (which is the usual EV buying schedule), and running them on coal and gas charged batteries, is better for the environment, somehow. It's a scam. Since they don't report the environmental costs of manufacturing an electric vehicle, and they don't consider the source of the electricity, then they can claim that EVs are better for the environment. But only focusing on vehicle emissions is lying by omission.
My car only has 370000 km, so admittedly I haven't driven it as much per year as others might... but now let's see an EV last for half that long, either in years OR km. And no, I haven't replaced the motor or tranny. Just regular maintenance. The 4wd still works. It's great.
Yea I remember in the 80's after the energy crisis cars got a lot better milages today. For example why do I need a car that goes 130 mph when the speed limit is 70 mph. But China is producing more emission then all developed countries combined. The only time a EV make sense is if it is a second car you commute and can charge at home. But what a pain trying to take a trip to MT or SD.
My newer car is 27 years old and in nearly new condition even though I have never garaged it.
I'm finishing up the refurbishment of my older car which is 45 years old and has been in my possession for 35 years.
I'm 62 and have only owned one other car besides those two. I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to keep them both on the road for as long as I am still able to drive (provided no parts wear out that cannot be replaced or repaired).
To be fair, not all EVs are made this badly. Teslas (and others) with modern batteries should be good for many years. I wouldn't, however, buy a new one at the moment, because I think batteries will be much better in three or four years' time. (And because it is environmentally better to keep running my 2002 Mazda MX5 for as long as possible.)

Yeah, this is just a lie as the warranty on Xpeng vehicles is 5 years. So if all those parts really broke down between the 4-5 year mark then she would have them replaced all for free. Also, Xpeng doesn't represent all Chinese EVs. BYD is a much better brand with world class leading technology that Toyota has agreed to copy in all their future hybrids because it's the best of the best.
The bad stats in the video were courtesy of diverse Chinese government ministries themselves. And also they is international data. The Chinese can still push production simply because they have "numbers", that is, millions and millions of people (many times over the population of the rest of the world) that are still uninformed or that may be "patriotic". But eventually, "patriotism" won't push it over if bad quality keeps on going. Like the Soviet Union: goods and services were horrible, no matter if they could steal the raw materials from their oppressed countries.

Don’t believe the Chinese govt propaganda machine
learned from an actual salesman off record Manufacturers consider the battery a consumable and non-resellable (for warranty, safety reasons) so day one of your purchase you immediately lose the"battery pack replacement cost" learn those words well and use them along every EV you see to understand the scam EV it's usually 33-66% of the new car price, this is why EV "depreciation" is so great there's another downside to them you need trained validated by the manufacturers mechanics to work on them so all 2nd hand EVs not sold by an official dealership have no maintenance done on them nor warranties once you buy it it's e-waste I learned that by a 2nd hand car seller who explained if he took any EV he would have to sell them "as is" and this is not something he wants to do

And from what I have seen, these cars are basically done at about 8 years or 80,000 miles. When you see 15 year old Ford, German, Japanese, French, Italian etc vehicles with 250k still working perfectly (and indeed 20+ year old MGs and Rovers from the British days still around - these cars never had the best reputation but they lasted far better than the new ones) it brings home just how inferior these cars are.
EIther German or Japanese. end of story.
I had a Honda CRS back in the 90's . Drove it for 450,000 miles in 11 years.

Weird, I see some of those weird early european EV's. I know pretty slow and weak, still driving along. You can get an early prius and though boring, it will still work.
But then this video is about CHINESE cars so... having them last for longer then 2 weeks is expecting too much.
My parents have a cheap used Nissan Leaf gen1. At 10 years old, with the original battery, the drive range is 100 km instead of the original 120 km, which is amazing. Also for the 4 years they own it, zero maintance was needed.
NIO ES8 Founder Edition still available in China and support battery swap of 150 kWh semi solid state battery with available software upgrade. Rent battery is very much easy for EV such as cost and services.

You know it is bad when even the Chinese don't want their EVs.
Well they are selling faster and faster everywhere
I have a 2006 ICE Mitsubishi, and it runs like a dream. I just change the oil and filter every 10,000km or 12 months. Usually costs about $100.00. A set of tyres every 3-4 years. Thats it. I paid $3,000 including registration for 12 months. Clearly better than an EV. I could easily sell it for the same price I purchased it for 10 years ago.

Drive it half its life and the second buyer is screwed. It's more expensive than putting a brand new engine in your gas car.
Moral of the story… buy gas motor and use commute vehicles
Thank you for the latest upload .
not to mention we don't know how they'll dispose the batteries, it's highly toxic to the environment
A lawsuit brewing...expensive but crap. Good luck owners.
Goog luck in a totalitarian country :-)
That is why in America are high tariffs for Chinese crap.
Just fix the car with instant noodles.
So much electronics these days, touch screens, sensors, AI and nothing's designed to be maintained, repaired or upgraded and the costs to keep these cars on the road, it's just not economically viable. However it's not just Chinese cars and it's what people want, people pay good money for rubbish tech.and don't value proper high quality engineering everywhere. My first car, a Renault was so simple, easy to fix,I worked on it myself, cost nothing to run. Chinese do do good engineering CATL for example, it's just the communist ethos is funding and supporting those who should fail.
So they last longer than most Chinese products which only last days or months 🤷♂️
You get what you pay for mate, if you're too stingy to spend more than $14k USD (100k yuan) on a brand new car, don't be surprised when it dies early. However, the video is BS as even a dodgier brand like Xpeng is covered by a 5 year warranty (10 years for the battery) which means it would all be replaced for free. Stick to BYD and Tesla for EVs, don't stinge out or you get what you pay for.
Meanwhile, Volvo 242 averages 15 years of use.
EV - electrocuted vehicle
And American government allowing Chinese EV in usa???
Total bullshit. I'm driving a 4 years old MGZSEV. There's nothing wrong with chinese electric cars.
MG4 owner here. No regrets buying so far and looks well made TBH. Test drove a Tesla M3 and was underwhelmed. So much hype over Tesla, but I genuinely thought the MG4 was a better drive, though not as powerful, I admit. The group 48-50 insurance of all Tesla was the final nail in its coffin.
The wife had the later MGZS EV that was also pretty good. The car literally saved her life when she had a head on crash at high speed six months ago. All the safety features worked brilliantly and the car even called the emergency services. All she had was seat belt injuries while the other ICE car driver nearly died with multiple injuries including punctured lung, broken sternum. She now has an ID3 which is ok, but very boring to drive compared to the MG4 which I think steers and handles much better. EVs aren't for everyone yet, but they are getting better with enough range for a lot of people now.
Yeah such a lie as the Xpengs are covered by a 5 year warranty so it would be fixed for free! She probably drove through flood waters and had her warranty voided so she's sore!
And on top of all this. Insurance costs will destroy you.
What do these ppl expect from a $14,000 car?
Anything Chinese falls apart 🇨🇳
Thats what u get when the masses are sheeples..😅😅😅
Best to lease for three years
Made in China - what did you expect
EV = electric vehicle, not energy vehicle
Chinese call EVs "new energy vehicles"
Exploding Vehicle
They also call hybrids New Energy Vehicles. This I the first time they have quoted the figures for Full Electric Vehicles.
100,000 Yuan is £11,000. So far cheaper than replacing a battery in the West. Though, I think EU will better enforce fixing of non-battery issues for more reasonable amounts for far longer.
Buy a new EV for 80,000 yuan. Drive for 4 years n repair it for 70,000 yuan. Don't repair but sell it for 10,000 yuan add 70,000 yuan n get a new one. Smart..Right..?.👈✌️✌️😁
rich people and people in power cannot believe how for thousands of years there were slaves around, and none today.
so what better way than making free people selling themselves to their new masters?
and today's masters are much cleverer than yesterday's masters.
in the past masters were paying for a private army to go and bring them some slaves.
today's masters don't even want to do all that spending, but they engineered a way for free people to sell themselves to their will
That would work out at $4800 a year. What is the average depreciation of someone buying a new car in the US?
"Made in China" has never sounded more appropriate
Should have bought a Tesla.
Yea, im looking for a new car, and i dont trust the chinese, so im probably gonna buy the new model y just coz u know tesla works.
I'm in my 6th year with my Tesla Model 3. No nasty surprises yet, minimal maintenance.
Tesla is a better standard of shite.
Did you miss the Tesla in this video by accident or on purpose?
@@BillionairesArentYourFriends they showed that the tesla actually worked, and we all know that in europe they usually still rolling after 10 years, and get updates.
All EVs are this way, to one degree or another. Battery components built with slave labor, not made to be fixed, but replaced at 70% life (if there’s no runaway fire). Depreciation of 50%, after 3years. Lease only.
The truth came out!
Yes. The truth is Chinese evs are better built, tech rich and more affordable. EU and US acknowledged that they cannot compete. So the only thing they can do to protect their own is to impose high tariffs. Simple as that.
EVs in general I will skip for now and I would never buy a Chinese EV.
Battery range, charging speed and safety needs to improve before I buy one.
I’ll keep my old Honda.
Old Volvo’s are great, new Volvo’s forget it (Geely bought in 2010).
Another propaganda from dying IC car companies 😂
Yup. Propaganda from US, JP and EU, since they increasing 100% import taxes...😂
I am surprised they last that long. Meanwhile my Mazda tribute is 15 years old and still has another 10 year in her. I think they should totally ban these cars in the USA because of the spying risk and the danger to everyone on the road, not just the driver. Good video
That's why BYD has lowered their prices and quality. Disposable cars.
Just looking at then it feels like that
It looks like a fake car lol
If you use the heater or air conditioning, it drastically shortens the range. In a gas car, the heater uses the engine cooling water, ie uses waste energy.
thats what they get for buying a Chinese EV.....that lady had the nerve to complain about her Chinese EV as she walked by a Tesla shop it was hilarious !
You have many Americans complaining about poor quality of tesla cars, tesla overpriced garbage.
In our country byd e6 is used for taxi for more than 5 years within 500,000 km and still running.
I WILL NEVER IWN AN ELECTRIC CAR! ITS STUPID. If your power goes out for any reason like floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, riots, tornados, thunderstorms etc-your EV is a paper weight. Combustion engines was a marvelous invention. Independent from the grid, plus you can do your own maintenence, so you save A TON!
whats funny is youre SO wrong. During the hurricanes in flordia recently the EV owners were charging fine while all the gas cars where waiting in HOURS long gas lines and most stations were out. Also EVs have basically no maintenance so youre wrong about that too. Honestly just keep buying gas cars an EV is probably too mentally taxing for you to own LOL
@@Mr_Smackle So EV's do not have suspension, brakes, fluids (other than engine oil), AC's, filters... Also they are sometimes twice as heavy than ICE cars, with more power - so huge amount of wear and tear on suspension components and brakes... Yet they have basically no maintenance...
@@Mr_Smackletypical.
@@skela098 theyre not twice as heavy maybe like 1,000 lb more than the gas equivalents so much misinformation and ignorance about these cars is nuts. Most EVs dont require brake changes cause they engine break to regen energy. Tires and suspension wear faster sure but thats literally it.
@@Mr_Smackle reply to:" EVs have basically no maintenance"
that's what most EV owners do.
Nothing.
Just charge&drive their EVs, and later sell them to an innocent who's gonna need to fix all the missed maintenances from the previous owner.
even a push bicycle needs maintenance.
Reality: EVs are just expensive consumer electronics; and have the same depreciation and obsolescence timeframe as a television or laptop computer!
I'm still using old car almost 10 years old, my isuzu panther grand touring, it originated from Japan , got never overhaul the car diesel machine, no ECU, manual transmission, i will use it again as long as still Diesel fuel sales available, old car less technology so less worry, of course save more pocket money too
The only shocking thing here is why people didnt know Chinese cars are crap and will not last. Thought that was pretty obvious.
That was the old American car manufacturing way for Chrysler, Gm, Ford. Basically, Toyota and Honda reversed that trend and why the Japanese took over the USA market.
Now, all automakers make vehicles to last for at least 150k miles before they fall apart.
However, the Japanese management especially Toyota still build vehicles that last with proper oil changes to over 300k miles. The only thing is that people get sick of vehicles and will trade it in lol.
Is this environmentally sustainable.
I am very wealthy and my favourite petrol car is 25 years old. It runs fine and I am happy with it.
15:30 Best part of this video -and I hope all vehicles adopt this standard.
With replacement battery you have to inform your insurance company as it will increAse their risk!
An impressive report. Warmest compliments. Thank you.
Not NIO. No Battery Degradation!!!
Go NIO!!!
The battery issue is the main item here. Its a heavy investment and almost like buying a new car
Dunno what you guys worry about. I have 2 chinese SUVs & they are running fine. One is already 9yrs old & another is 6yrs old. I never took it back to official Service center since day one. I forgo the warranty as warranty doesnt mean a thing in my country. I ended up saving alot while cars have remain hassle free. SC couldn't do hanky panky with my cars thats why they remain trouble free. Wear & tear parts like absorbers & suspension bushes was only changed once for the 9yr old car.
My gasoline powered pickup is 24 years old. It still runs good with 318,000. Miles . Why the heck would i buy a EV ?
Never!
That's what I've been saying about EVs, they are awesome toys but will only last 10 to 15 years but I've last 15 to 30 years when maintain properly. Just because you no longer have it after the first 5 years doesn't mean it goes to the junkyard. Because passed down by 4 more owners and get sold over seas.
I’ve driven my BMW in China for more than 8 years, and it still runs a dream. It’ll go forever as long as we maintain it well.
