If you have been following the Chinese solar industry, you would be aware that solar manufacturers from China, such as Suntec etc have gone bankrupt over the past decade or more. China's approach of allowing underperforming solar companies to go bankrupt is one of the reasons why their solar industry is so formidable.

Well at least whatever profit Kia can't make in China due to the low price. They can hopefully gain back from markets outside China thanks to the lack of competition driving prices down.

The opposite of dumping is happening. For example the Kia EV5 is sold at [$20k in China](https://electrek.co/2023/11/17/kia-launches-20k-ev5-electric-suv-china-rival-tesla-model-y/) while the same made in China model is sold overseas [Starting at $46k](https://electrek.co/2024/04/04/kia-set-to-export-this-all-electric-suv-at-a-price-that-undercuts-tesla/)

At this point I believe its the international market that is subsidising Chinese EVs. Take a look at the byd dolphin mini / seagull. It is priced starting at $21,000 in mexico while the price in China is from $9700. You find many other examples of the same car models sold at much higher price overseas than locally in China.

Is there a source that says its an LMFP battery?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That's good to know.

To save battery life I suppose. Also some phones may kill a background app even when told not to thus preventing messages from being received.

Probably something that does not require a phone number while still using google firebase notification system? Basically a less buggy version of session messenger.

From my understanding briar requires both clients to be online at the same time to use?

According to this reddit post many European car brands are offering massive discounts to compensate for lack of sales.

So Europe went from suggesting decoupling from China to de-risking and now this?
