Adjustable color lighting and wireless karokee mics, where do I sign up! Lol

Thank you for posting @1SICKLEX .

Please note, my criticism for the article is no offense to you, just having fun at WSJs expense.

This article looks.like a puff piece the has no meat and potatoes, just emotions and feelings and fluff for kids.

Doesn't work on me.
I care about sales & service & reputation.
That will have to be earned before I buy a car of any brand. 😀 🖖 🏆

 

All good just sharing.

 

Of course!
I love seeing what they write.

Again, thank you!
> do you think they are doing a "soft disclusure" and prepping us to accept these Evs here?

 

 

And those are Canadian dollars, those cars are cheap!

 

Yes. Canadian $$.

 

won’t it take a while to get them through regulations to be able to be sold?

Chinese EVs (other than Teslas already certified) must meet Canadian safety and emissions requirements (Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards/CMVSS) before they can be imported and legally registered in Canada. The U.S. NHTSA standards are not the gatekeeper for Canadian imports, but compliance with Canadian standards is.


Regulatory framework for importing EVs into Canada1. Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) apply to all vehicles sold or imported for use on Canadian roads.Transport Canada requires that any vehicle imported into Canada be certified as compliant with the CMVSS in effect on the date the vehicle was manufactured.


Manufacturers or importers must have documentation showing the vehicle meets Canadian safety standards. Without this, the vehicle cannot be lawfully imported for road use. Motor Vehicle Safety Act (MVSA) prohibits most imports of vehicles that are not certified to Canadian standards.Vehicles manufactured for foreign markets (e.g., China-spec vehicles) generally do not comply with Canadian standards as built.


There is no general pathway under the MVSA to retrofit or modify a foreign-market vehicle post-manufacture to meet Canadian standards for road use.

 

^^ good find/ref. so i wonder how long it will take chinese ev manufacturers to make their cars compliant with canadian regs.

and also whether it's even worth it for all makers to share 49k unit sales.

 

The Chinese are not known for dragging their feet. As with all things, if they want to do something, it can be done overnight. Also, if I was a Chinese EV automaker, I would have made it pretty compliant to NA standards in preparation for exporting.

 

Many Chinese EVs are sold in Europe and Mexico. no doubt they are likely safe.. Transport Canada is apparently fast tracking regulatory approval.
