Chinese EVs are very dangerous because of low quality standards. There are plenty of videos with batteries catching fire and the EVs burning up in the middle of the road.

There are tons of those videos from Teslas.... so unless you have a legit source showing Chinese EVs are more dangerous than Tesla's, your comment is nothing but an annecdote

This is also not true.

There are plenty of videos of gasoline cars burning too. Turns out packing a shitload of energy into a small volume is dangerous.

Canada can set safety standards however they want. Chinese EVs are available elsewhere, like Australia. Are they catching fire there?

Or is there one video in China where these vehicles already sell in huge numbers?
