Interesting read to the real reason why there are so many abandoned cars in China’s undegrowth. The second link perhaps goes into a bit more detail, but more importantly touches on Tesla’s 2023 price war that ignited the price war that spilled out of China and also hurt foreign manufactuers inside of China particularly VW.
Chinese dealerships are starting to warn manufacturers not to put too many cars on them, due to a looming price war, this time started by BYD. Whether it will be as bad, as the one started by Tesla in 2023 is yet to be seen!
The third link shows similar scenes of EV’s in fields undergrowth but this time it’s in France and for a very similar reason to that of China, resulted from a failed car sharing scheme, not faulty batteries as youtube would have you believe.
