Biden doing exactly what Trump said he would do regarding Chinese cars.

Car safety tests in Europe are tougher than in the US and Chinese cars pass those tests

 

"Even if they don't burn people to death which is it big if because they do in China all the time"

All the time? You do like to make up things. I am surrounded by EVs and charging points and I have not seen one fire let alone anyone burnt to death!

 

All this nonsense about , "oh, you mustn't get an EV because they can't pull a boat or trailer". Well firstly , they can pull a trailer and secondly how many people pull a boat with their ICE car! I've never attached anything to the back of any of my cars in the 45 years of driving!

 

Let me know when a vehicle whose battery (which also serves as much of the chassis) can be removed survives modern US crash testing.

 

Then just drop the government mandates and subsidies for EVs and let people decide to buy whatever they want.

If they're so great they should thrive in a free market.

 

Ah. A video.

If they can be manufactured to pass European safety regulations then they can be manufactured to pass US safety regulations

 

LOL They are selling in Europe and how else would a demonstration of battery pack being changed at a battery swap station be shown other than by a video? Mind control?

 

We shall see.

 

Then why haven't they?

 

There are electric car battery swap stations in San Francisco run by a company called Ample

 

How many of them are made in China?

 

Cool. Where specifically? Is there an address for one of these swap stations?

I'd like to see what they're doing and how much it costs.

 

One address is
74 Charter Oak Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124, United States

 

Looks like the wreckage of old drive through liquor stores that I remember from when I was a kid.

Are there any pictures from inside the place or some kind of reservation website?

How much does an ample battery swap cost?

about $13

Changing out a 32-kilowatt-hour battery pack, for instance, costs about $13. Whether battery-swapping becomes a more mainstream option in the US depends in part on more automakers working with companies like Ample.18 May 2023

 

So at this point it's still a pipe dream.

Got it.

 

I knew you would have trouble reading. Which bit of "Currently Ample operates 12 battery swapping stations in the San Francisco Bay area, mainly with Uber rideshare vehicles" do you not understand?

 

Which part of, "Are there any pictures from inside the place or some kind of reservation website?" did you have trouble reading?

 

Try and keep up. You posted

"Let me know when a vehicle whose battery (which also serves as much of the chassis) can be removed survives modern US crash testing"

I've shown you that battery swapping stations are already operating in the US. Are you going to claim that these Uber vehicles are illegal vehicles?

 

I haven't seen an actual battery swapping station yet. Uber folks own their own vehicles. What kind of vehicles are you talking about. You know, make and model.

 

I don't care if you've seen one. I've shown that all your assumptions were wrong including your moving of goalposts assumptions

 

You've shown nothing but investor hype.

The Emperor is still naked.

 

They are already in use! Are you running away from your statement "Let me know when a vehicle whose battery (which also serves as much of the chassis) can be removed survives modern US crash testing"

 

Prove it.
