Do you mean 50% of all vehicles on the road or 50% of new car sales in 2029. The former not a chance that will take way longer to get the middle of the county to transition. 50% of new car sales I still doubt it in 5 years. First quarter 2024 sales were 7.3% of the market. There are only 40 EV models for sale this year compared to how many ICE models? It will of course grow each year in models available and sales. I see more like 2040 to get to 50% new EV sales and longer to get to 90%. I doubt it will ever be 100% and lets not forget any competing non-ICE vehicles that may pop up in the next 20 years that could compete with EV.
.....why is there never a breakdown of exactly WHERE BYDs are sold... because it sure as hell isnt here , its predominantly in their native land where they dont have to abide by all the safety, all the testing and environmental mandates companies have to here, and thus cut corners/ costs...those items alone are HUGE when taken into cost, and thus what a vehicle can be sold for here and be profitable...theres a reason a multitude of manufacturers blew their own horns announcing their arrival to the USA at budget pricing and then never did, heck, OUR dealership wasgoing to be a Mahindra frachaise...remember their incredibly cheap diesel pickup?....
Yeah, they're good trucks. A bit of a swing and a miss in the reliability/quality department, mine's been basically flawless, but we've seen horror stories on forums. But it's definitely been one of better affordable vehicle options out there besides all the recalls.
