The main reason why Chinese cars (all of them) aren’t allowed in North America is most don’t pass our strict Safety standards. What needs to happen is provinces need to allow mini EV’s. There are wonderful little single or two seater EV’s that only do 30 Kmh, and can do 50 to 100 km’s in range. But aren’t allowed legally on the road. You can get them for like 5K.
I find this hard to believe considering in Aus most of the EVs are Chinese and our safety standards are probably the highest compared to any country. A lot of BYDs available now.

I am sick and tired of people claiming that BYD are unsafe They have crash tested better than my current vehicle.
Right I came here to say this as well.

“Safety” you say. So why do you have Cybertruck, the kind of car that isn’t safe for anyone? Removing signal stick is not safety either.
