Funny thing is, Chinese EVs are at the place where Japanese cars were back in the 1970s. Widely mocked as cheap crap, but consumers like them well enough, and the quality keeps improving. The US reacts by shutting them out of its market, but they're doing awfully well everywhere else in the world...

Even outside the US I would not want to buy a Chinese electric car. Can you imagine trying to get maintenance on that thing.

I'm starting to see proper dealerships from brands like BYD so it's not so far off. I don't know the details but if they're implemented physically in the region then I assume they provide maintenance.
