Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Why do you feel it so necessary to defend China and deflect. It's well established that BYD uses slave labor.

I'm not defending China. I'm attacking the US. "A capitalist dictatorship that uses slave labor" is... the definition of the US right now.

I suppose we do buy a lot of Chinese products. Not BYD though. Ironically, it's probably less true than ever thanks to that.
