I normally like Adam, but this is a dumbass take for a number of reasons. Let me name the ones just on the top of my head:

1. EVs can operate anywhere in the world, and skip the energy dependent bonds of neighboring countries (politics)
2. You can have a solar install on your home and offset the costs of charging, so it's essentially free, AND better for the environment (sustainability)
3. China literally stole all the designs from existing manufacturing processes and use those for their BYD cars. This has already been admitted to, and is a fact. They aren't "doing better", they are "making cheaper"
4. expounding on 3, they only make cheaper cars because of SLAVE LABOR. Unless other countries want to get back into the slavery business, you're not going to beat that price point.
5. "Western" car makers carry warranties with their product. China does not. AT.ALL. You buy it, you bought it. Read the fine print and realize that whatever BYD is claiming as a warranty only extends to cars within a certain radius of one of their dealerships, and not outside of China.

I can go on and on about this, but on headline alone, Adam fucked up her. What a stupid take.
