**Moderating:**

I’ve moved the extended sidetrack into it’s own thread:

> [@Next generation of EV batteries by BYD and others - Real, Speculative, or Vaporware](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/next-generation-of-ev-batteries-by-byd-and-others-real-speculative-or-vaporware/1026937):

> BYD is well regarded and established here in Australia and will be in Canada ( wearing both my hats ) I’d advise EVERYONE considering an EV to sit tight until the reality of SSB and other non-lithium batteries settles in ( BYD will lead ). The insanely lower cost, range and charging speed will totally disrupt the LiOn industry and call into question all the billions spent on mega factories, lithium mines and geopolitical maneuvering.

Seemed like a fine topic, and unintentional drift, but absolutely off topic past @wolfpup’s post on why Ford may have cared. The allowance for Chinese EVs is still fair game in terms of discussing Carney and the political consequences though. No warnings or directed notes applied, more housekeeping than anything.
