Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't know why India doesn't take climate change and pollution seriously...
Like, very few countries take it seriously enough. But China and India are feeling it more than almost any other country...
And they just don't give a shit.
Because it's a prisoners dilemma. They don't have the money to suddenly buy a billion Teslas and trillion solar panels so either they burn the coal they have because everyone else is too, or they just give up trying to become an advanced economy while everyone else keeps polluting.
In either case tens of millions of people die on the subcontinent, but in one of them at least they get to improve their economy.
Why buy Teslas when BYD is cheaper than ICE vehicles?
And China's solar panels are cheap as fuck.
Americans can't buy either tho, but that's because both our parties want corporations headquartered here to make those sales so it counts to GDP.
I don't think India does that
I can answer that as an Indian casually in the market for an EV. The infrastructure isn't really as good as western countries. Charging stations aren't easy to find outside of major highways, and they aren't as visible.
For intra-city users:
EVs are considerably more expensive than ICEs and India is a very price-sensitive market. The biggest successes for EVs here are Tata Nexons, for example. The ICE version starts at almost half the price of the EV.
Buyers will compare and run the numbers and unless you use it a lot, it can go either way. That combined with the iffy infrastructure is enough to make many people just go for ICE right now, in the hope that their next car will be an EV, when prices come down and tech is next-gen.
It is bound to happen. Prices are falling and more EVs are on the road, but it hasn't reached critical mass yet.
Also, BYDs are actually quite expensive here compared to home grown solutions. Check the Tata EV range out.
Another factor that you're overlooking is that India has a huge market of 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers and mini trucks. That's a space where EVs make a lot of sense. They pay for themselves the more you use them.
So in food delivery, logistics, courier services etc., there's already a very noticeable shift in motion, and that's promising.
BYD is made by their enemy? It isn't hard to figure out why they wouldn't want to buy things from a hostile country.
I don't know if that was a question or rhetorical...
But either way you're wrong.

That doesn't refute anything I said. How weird.
Do you think India and China are buddies?
Sound like they're buying them...
Edit:
Oh...
You're a mod of a conservative community...
That explains so much
and?
Tata is selling more. You keep trying to cite one specific range as proof BYD is dominating the market. Tata is selling more overall.
