As opposed to the rest of the world, where everything is fine and dandy and the economy is going great.

I'm starting to think Anon may be making shit up
Surely no one would ever stoop so low as to make shit up on the internet anonymously.
Fukushima, not Hiroshima.
Also, it's pure politics. The water being released isn't radioactive at all and will have zero effect on someone jumping into the storage units, let alone the fish in the ocean.
China alone releases more actual radioactive waste.
Idk Motorola seems to be doing fine in several markets still and there’s plenty of time for the Japanese car brands to come around on EV cars. Wish their bike brands would get their shit together and get some good EV motorcycles on the market sub $20k
I don’t see America embracing Chinese cars anytime soon, if they even get certified for sale here. I would love to see Nio’s approach to battery swapping at stations over charging take off but anti-sino sentiments are strong here
Motorola(Mobility, ie phones) is an american brand that has been bought by the chinese Lenovo.
Motorola isn't Japanese?
Fun fact - there was a very popular record player brand Victrola, and a company that was making car radios and used a similar sounding name... The Moto-rola and they are/were very much an American company.
Battery swapping is a dead end gimmick, especially with how good fast charging is now.
Battery swapping and having a bank of charged/charging batteries at the station is still faster than waiting 30-45 minutes for the fast charger to recharge a nearly depleted battery. And fast chargers are not common yet, not nearly enough in my city to replace the thousands of gas pumps at least
It's well under 30 minutes for most cars now. Besides, with the number of makes and models of electric vehicles on the road today, the chances of manufacturers agreeing on one model of pack is slim to none. It also doesn't help that most battery packs are water cooled, which adds complexity to the design.
A model 3 is more like fifteen minutes charge time now.
If a model 3 really charges in 15 minutes then every single model 3 driver at my work and the stations near me is an ass for sitting in the EV chargers far longer than that
it's 20 minutes for 20% -> 80%, assuming it's a 150kW charger. Nobody has a 150kW charger at their home or office, unless they happen to work at the local powerplant and/or charging station.
0%->100% at home, at 7kW-11kW is going to take basically a workday (and change) depending on battery size.
Ah so that guy is just lying, coolio. Kinda what i figured
That's with the latest battery technology and the right type of charger, of course.
