Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment.

May I recommend a European EV instead? ๐Ÿ˜€

Personally I love my VW ID.4. But I understand they are not well represented in North America.
So maybe a Volvo? They are really nice too, my neighbor has one.
But for anyone with enough money, BMW or Mercedes is probably the way to go. ๐Ÿ’ธ ๐Ÿ’ธ ๐Ÿ’ธ

On our small street we all have electric cars now! VW ID.4 VW ID.3, Volvo XC40, BMW i4. Nissan Ariya.
We all switched within 2 years. ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ˜€

I like Volvo, but since they're made in China, I might as well look at BYD.

Volvo is made in Sweden, but owned by a Chinese company.

The EVs are from China, the US, Sweden or Belgium. Volvos also has other factories around the world.

Some Volvos are made in Sweden. New EVs are from China if I remember right. Owners of the brand are Chinese (Geely or something like that).

Apparently Volvo has factories all over the world, they once even had 1 in Canada.

Mostly teslas, I hear?

Fuck musk.

Is a Chinese tesla better than a car with components sourced with slave labour?
