High-end EV's still use Nickel in their batteries though but they don't sell nearly as much as BYD low cost entry models so yeah, Indogs are fucked.

In fact, everyone is cutting their investments/purchases of nickle from Indonesia to the point that its hurting indogs credit ratings. kek

over-regulation, governmental incompetence, and an over-reliance on importing wage slaves versus training up the native population
most people do not understand Generational Warfare Theory
they think that just because bombers aren't flying overhead, that a war isn't currently being fought in the Western world
but a war is being fought, and it takes the form of institutional capture by a Neomarxist fifth column hellbent on toppling the entirety of society, and then finally using an Intersectionalist race war to kill the 'oppressors', who just-so-happen to be the native European people
the infiltrators are in government, academia, the military, the police, in Brussels, etc.
many don't even realise they're useful idiot slaves to Neomarxian ideology
most people are programmed to turn off their brains when they even hear the word, like a 'fnord'

if you have any queries why we're not doing the things we could be doing, the above is why

>>538557330
Because they're selling them at an incredibly low price compared to the cars that do not catch on fire. BYD is the best selling car in Israel, but they probably don't care that the batteries catch on fire and burn the vehicle down.

>>538558138
>Are the drop in sales due to EVs?
Yes. EV sales are rising even for Toyota. Their overall sales are falling because cars other than EVs are not selling as much. But Toyota is very far behind when it comes to EVs, so they can't prop up their sales yet, hence the fall.

>>
>>538558508
We're talking about falling sales, not absolute numbers. Their ICE sales are down and EV sales are up.
Toyota is very far behind in EV tech. Their sales are a very small fraction of the EV market. On the other hand, their ICE sales are the highest in the world. Of course the difference between those numbers is going to be high.

Almost every petrol pump in major cities has got a charging point here in India. There's a government scheme going for installing charging stations in all cities.
https://www.rediff.com/business/report/auto-ev-sales-in-india-hit-record-high-with-63-yoy-increase-in-june/20260708.htm
In your 30-40% scenario, if ICE makers don't start making EVs would still lose sales (like Toyota), because total car sales are not really rising.
And when major ICE makers start making EVs most people loyal to those brands would buy them (like Toyota).
>>
>>538559582
>government scheme
As i said: Without massive gubernment gibs EV's would be dead. It's tech that wouldn't break through on its own because its shit in every way compared to ICEs.

How many EVs are you owning?

>>538560062
Do you think petrol pumps sprang up out of nowhere? Government also built those here, because most oil companies are state-owned in India. Infrastructure is assumed to be the government's job here.
Tata is also helping the government. That's how it has always worked.

>>538559354
>EVs are a shit tech
EV drivetrains are vastly superior to ICE ones in every respect
except fun factor, ofc, but that only matters to petrolheads like me

>that NEEDS government gibs
EV adoption faced and still faces a few chicken and egg problems, and those do require external intervention to solve
eg charging stations wont get built until there is sufficient demand from EV owners. but EVs wont get bought if there are no charging stations to make them viable. chicken and egg problem
ofc, the above issue was not actually solved by government gibs, it was actually first solved by elon who just said FuckIt™ and built the cars and the charging stations


>so people buy overpriced shit
they're not overpriced, just early in adoption and not quite as cheap as they can be
when economies of scale fully set in, EVs will be noticeably cheaper than equivalent ICEs

>that loses its worth faster than you can spell hygiene
EVs depreciate horribly because people who buy 2nd hand cars are usually also not rich enough to be homeowners.
which means they can't charge at home
which means EVs are not practical for them
which means they don't buy EVs
which means there's very little demand for used EVs
which means used EVs see large price drops

ofc, as more and more charging stations are built, and charging gets faster and faster, this issue will become less and less important.
not being able to charge at home is a huge deal breaker if you need 40 mins to charge 2x a week, but less so if its 20 mins, and even less when it goes down to 10mins
at 5 mins it'll stop being an issue altogether

>and the market is eventually saturated at 30-40%
saturation has been reached because we ran out of homeowners to buy EVs
but, see above, that issue will eventually stop being an issue and adoption will continue

What are 1 ton batteries that explode under your arse
>chicken and egg problems
As you said yourself
>Tesla did it
>when economies of scale fully set in, EVs will be noticeably cheaper than equivalent ICEs
Just because of EU laws that favour EV bullshit and CO2 air taxes
In a free unregulated market EVs always lose against ICE
>at 5 mins it'll stop being an issue altogether
Still a ton battery to carry around
>but, see above, that issue will eventually stop being an issue and adoption will continue
Why? Do the 60% of renters suddenly become home owners?
Oh you mean because of charging speed. Charging at charging stations costs you more than refuelling an ICE so the cost advantage isn't one plus all the inconvenience an EV gives. Pair that together with the devaluation and you see that EVs burn through money, whereas the good ol ICE cars only raise in value.
Buying EVs means burning money and the majority of people doesn't have money left to burn
Also i come out of a timeline where you could get a reasonable good used car for 500 euros and could drive it for at least two years.
With the forced EV push these times are over and were looking at a new generation of people that lost interest in cars at all because they simply can't afford one.

Look up total BYD vs Toyota BEV sales, memeflag.
Toyota is only just starting their BEV production and trying their best to compete, but without Japanese government subsidies, they weren't able to compete even in Japan.
China is the most competitive market right now, which is why I gave that example.
Btw, Toyota just signed an agreement with CATL for battery production because they're so far behind.
>This comprehensive approach marks an important milestone for TMMIN as the first Toyota subsidiary in Southeast Asia to export batteries to the global market, starting in the second half of 2026. This includes not only batteries installed in HEVs but also battery components exported independently, reinforcing Indonesia’s role in the global electrified vehicle supply chain.

>1 ton batteries that explode under your arse
its not 1 ton
and the whole "muh EVs explode/catch fire" issue is pure FUD. ICEs catch fire way more often
tho it is true that when EVs do catch fire, they are a bitch to put out

>Tesla did it
yes, because of government policies that facilitated its survival and growth, carbon credits in particular

>Just because of EU laws
no
ev drivetrains are fundamentally much simpler and easier to make than ICE ones
the only reason that ICEs are as cheap as they are is because of a century of development and MASSIVE economies of scale
as soon as EVs even start to approach the same scale, they will create insane savings

>Still a ton battery to carry around
yup. barring some hitherto unforeseen breakthough that pushes kwhr/kg way higher, EVs will always be heavy
mind you, that only really applies to small lightweight vehicles, as soon as you start talking bmw 3 series or larger, the extra weight from the batteries is offset by the missing weight of a larger ICE. if you look at weight comparisons for the model 3 and the bmw 3 series, its basically the same, plus/minus 100 pounds either way, depending on what exact versions you pick to compare
but yes, barring unforeseen breakthroughs, we will never have an EV miata that's as light and nimble as the ICE ones.
and yes, that sucks for petrolheads, but its 100% fine for for the 95% of drivers on the road who just need a commute appliance

>charging stations costs you more than refuelling an ICE
that's just market distortion, competition will eventually iron it out
its fundamentally cheaper to burn fossil fuels at a centralized location and transmit power than to actually ship the fossil fuels to petrol stations all over the place
its also better for the environment, and MUCH better for localized pollution in densely populated areas
>>

I don't get you. What are you? Pro or anti EV?

>>538560922
>plus all the inconvenience an EV gives
EVs are more convenient than ICEs, not less
the only issue is the slow charging, which i acknowledged, and that is slowly being solved

>Pair that together with the devaluation
as i explained, that's ultimately a consequence of the slow charging, and it will get solved

>good ol ICE cars only raise in value
because modern ICEs suck ass, cars from the 00s and early 10s are objectively superior to nucar shit
im 100% on board with sticking with older ICEs, esp if you wrench on them yourself
but if buying new, i'd only recommend EVs. modern ICEs are unmaintainable POS, and this you CAN blame on emissions regs.

>Buying EVs means burning money and the majority of people doesn't have money left to burn
that applies equally if not more so to ICEs
all new cars are stupidly expensive, but at least an EV is not going to nickel and dime you with maintenance and repairs
>inb4 expensive battery replacements
cheaper every year, while ICE maintainance costs increase every year
model 3 battery packs are already at $10k or so, which is competitive with an engine swap or rebuild (and equivalent to it too, once you replace the battery its essentially a new EV)

>Pro or anti EV?
overall, definitely pro.
they're quiet, refined, smooth, powerful
they don't pollute the air you breathe (there is pollution still, ofc, but less of it, and its not right outside your home, unlike ICE exhausts)
and they will become much cheaper as time goes by, and god knows we need cheaper cars
but im also a petrolhead, and as such i 100% admit that EVs are boring as shit, totally incapable of making fun cars.

>when in a few years the unsellable EVs end up burning on African waste dumps
not goign to happen
battery recycling will be a thing for sure
it was never a thing for laptop and cellphone batteries because they are very small individually, and come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, thus making recycling impossible/unprofitable to automate
but with EV batteries being 1000x the size and much less varied, the economics will align and you will see those battery packs being recycled

>EVs were never about the environment, they always were about mass-demobilization of (You) and me.
bullshit
carbon tax bullshit was not about the environment, but about having a good sounding excuse to tax the shit out of people
but as it turned out, it enabled our transition to EVs. thanks elon.
and if anything, mass EV adoption will make it less possible to demobilize the population, not more. its far easier to DIY EV charging than DIY gasoline refinement

>New ICE cars are crap
That's true but it is due to EU laws that ultimately want to nag you to death and tax ICE cars to death so you stop wanting to drive your car. It's time to get rid of them so we can build great ICE cars again.

I got a nice example of a Tesla model 3
