Lol, that's sort of an interesting take. What's probably a bit more accurate take is "the only company selling a large volume.of EVs is slipping by amounts that equal to other brands total sales, in most cases.multiple ones combined".The internet is listening to my online conversations. This just came across my feed.

We're on the internet. Clearly wasting time. What else are we supposed to do? The meme thread can only keep us occupied for so long you know
Average year on year units sold, excluding Tesla, is +42% according to that data. Not sure how else to take it.Lol, that's sort of an interesting take.

Percentages lie. The total YoY gain for the winners was 30k roughly. The total YoY loss for losers was roughly 27.5k, so that means they sold about 2500 EVs more in total. That says that there's basically a pie that's staying basically the same size, getting a little bit bigger, and people are just trading the size of their slice.Average year on year units sold, excluding Tesla, is +42% according to that data.

Looks like more of a national policy/corruption issue than an EV issue.![]()
I spy Chinese EV's! #shorts #china
Take a look at this picture and tell me what you think it is? It looks like the inside of a circuit board but it’s not. It’s an ariel view of Electric vehicl...youtube.com
Yea, we were.....but I've not heard of a manufacturer based anywhere EXCEPT China doing this, and we've been quoting/citing US sales numbers (as best I can tell anyway), so this isn't included in those reports, as I don't think China can sell cars here.It absolutely is an EV issue. Everyone on here is quick to point out stats about market demand and production output, gross revenue sales etc. but when you have large manufacturers essentially building bridges to nowhere doesn't that falsify the stats?? I just found it interesting and enlightening about what is going on in China. And this is only one instance that was caught.
Have you towed with it? Looks like the same 5000# tow rating as my Model X. I’d be curious if a plug in hybrid has similar torque to a BEV.
Have not. I got an F-150 4x4 for that stuff.Have you towed with it? Looks like the same 5000# tow rating as my Model X. I’d be curious if a plug in hybrid has similar torque to a BEV.
I still think Volvo had probably the best way to do a PHEV so far. The EV section is totally separate, it's an electric motor rear axle, and a ICE front axle. I don't love the implementation, or the motor they use, or the fairly poor towing capacity, but I'll be damned if I wouldn't use but a tank every few months if we charged one nightly, but could still drive it anywhere in the country without range issues.
Did you do the installation yourself or buy it out? If you paid an electrician do mind sharing the cost?Installing the 240V outlet in the garage was a game changer.
I've got this local guy I found that is a retired electrician. He does small gigs to earn fun money and stay busy. I added the 240V outlet right next to the breaker panel in the garage, and I also had him add 2 more dedicated 110V outlets on the wall by the breaker panel so I could add 2 more electric extension reels for wood working. The total price with parts was right around $450.Did you do the installation yourself or buy it out? If you paid an electrician do mind sharing the cost?
I'm in a rental right now, and I've gotten permission to add a 240V outlet for a charger, but it has to be permitted and done by a professional. Just curious what that might run. If I owned the place I would learn how to do it myself.
