Chinese EVs are very dangerous because of low quality standards. There are plenty of videos with batteries catching fire and the EVs burning up in the middle of the road.
There are tons of those videos from Teslas.... so unless you have a legit source showing Chinese EVs are more dangerous than Tesla's, your comment is nothing but an annecdote
This is not true.
This is also not true.
Canada can set safety standards however they want. Chinese EVs are available elsewhere, like Australia. Are they catching fire there?
Or is there one video in China where these vehicles already sell in huge numbers?
and australia is very hot too, which makes batteries prone to heating up.
Apparently they are.

There are plenty of videos of gasoline cars burning too. Turns out packing a shitload of energy into a small volume is dangerous.
Also people underestimate how often ICE cars combust (they are still rare enough that it is likely you never encounter one yourself, but there are A LOT OF CARS that make it happens quite frequently), they are just common enough to not get reported if no one got injured from it
Your opinions on the Cyber truck? (An American EV that is very dangerous because of low quality standards)
