People who hype Chinese EVs need to own one for 5 years and try to get one fixed. Yes, they look like cars, but only reality will tell us if they will last and frankly, given the frequency of new models, it's all CAD to customer with no durability testing. But, that's been German cars for the last 20 years...

There are BYD T3 vans used in Singapore that are around 5 years old.
