    Australia is currently saturated with cheap, shotty Chinese EV and ICE cars. Weird brands I’d never heard of last year.

    I suspect many of them will probably pump and dump in 5 years, and exiting the AU market when their shit starts to break down and they become obligated to fix it under robust and well enforced Australian consumer law. If consumer law isn’t nerfed by then.

      It’ll be very interesting to see the longevity of those new chinese cars. They certainly have saturated the market, and by all accounts appear to be reasonably good value, but who knows what their long-term reliability will be like
