Yes, I know Beijing has a lottery for new license plates, and Shanghai has an auction. Other cities use a combination of the two methods from what I've heard, so that less well-off people have a chance while also allowing them to raise some significant revenue from the wealthy. These restrictions on new license plates allow the cities to manage congestion and keep air pollution low. Also, there are separate quotas for hybrids/electric cars which give better lottery odds.
I don't know, my point was more that 75 mile range is fine for large swaths ofs people. Size of the country has little correlation with distance of trips taken, that's mostly a planning thing.
Hot conditions will degrade overall life of the battery, while the battery is capable of holding less charge during extreme cold temperatures. They screw you coming and going.
In Denmark the cheapest new electric car is a Dacia Spring Electric starting at USD 20.500. This is advertised as "making electric cars available to everyone". If you can stand the injustice of driving a pre-owned car you can be lucky to find a 2015 Renault Zoe for USD 9.200.
buying an electric car used sounds like a terrible decision, the battery will fry out and youll need to pay basically the price of the whole car to get a new battery
Wish we had them here. Would have been perfect for my partner who needed a car just for getting to and from work and stuff, instead she’s stuck with this lemon her family helped her get lol. ( we have no trains here )
The extended capacity model is 110 miles, which isn't bad for city driving. Chinese consumers seem to like the car overall, given that it's the best selling electric car in China right now.
75 mile range in such a large country is absurd
great if you wanna just get around beijing but why not just be train gang at that point
Why? People have a time budget for travel, not a distance budget.
yeah but does china really have such extensive battery swapping stuff that you can stop by and do it like a fill up

Is it a deliberate strategy to have people go by train and disincentivice car traffic? If so it is based.

idk. it also degrades a lot
What?
Electric car battery life degrades pretty quickly, esp in hot conditions.
I thought it degrades a lot more in colder climate. So, extreme climate degradation then.
