Idk Motorola seems to be doing fine in several markets still and there’s plenty of time for the Japanese car brands to come around on EV cars. Wish their bike brands would get their shit together and get some good EV motorcycles on the market sub $20k
I don’t see America embracing Chinese cars anytime soon, if they even get certified for sale here. I would love to see Nio’s approach to battery swapping at stations over charging take off but anti-sino sentiments are strong here
Battery swapping is a dead end gimmick, especially with how good fast charging is now.
Battery swapping and having a bank of charged/charging batteries at the station is still faster than waiting 30-45 minutes for the fast charger to recharge a nearly depleted battery. And fast chargers are not common yet, not nearly enough in my city to replace the thousands of gas pumps at least
