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. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Yes there fucking is: don't buy Chinese EV brands unless you're into slavery and IP theft.
You've interpreted the phrase "...there no way around it" incorrectly. It means "it can't be excused / you have to face the fact".
What if I'm into IP theft and not slavery?
Then your options are limited to other post-bloc Eastern European manufacturers.
BYD should get punished by Brazil for what they did, but using that to call an entire country slaves and thieves is a bit much. Too ScoMo-esque.
How do you think China was able to catch up in manufacturing technologies so rapidly in the late 90's and early 2000's then?
so wage theft and prison labor is somehow better ?
