gordonangela+FollowVinFast’s Rough Ride: What’s Up With EVs?Heard about VinFast’s bumpy journey in the US?

Sometimes, waiting for the next wave pays off! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #EVs00Share
Nicole Morgan+FollowChina’s Car Sales Just Hit a 10-Month LowChina’s car market is hitting the brakes—November saw the biggest sales drop in almost a year, down 8.5%!

BYD’s sales are slipping, Tesla’s bouncing back, and Xiaomi is crushing its goals. Exports are soaring, but at home, the competition is fierce and the vibes are tense. Would you buy a car in this market? #Cars #ChinaAutoMarket #EVs00Share

Even government buyers need reliability—so if you’re eyeing a new EV, check the company’s track record first! #Business #Industry #EVs00Share

Turns out, people aren’t loving the idea of dropping $10k more for an EV, plus worrying about pricey battery repairs and finding a charger on road trips. Only 16% of Americans say they’re likely to go electric for their next ride. Without those incentives, looks like EVs are staying niche for a while. #Cars #ElectricVehicles #EVs10Share
