Presumably hoping to avoid the repeat of the whole debacle with fields of servicable old electric vehicles sitting unused from not too long ago. Iirc several of their ridesharing services messed up bigtime and couldn't shift their old inventory
However, a closer look reveals the opposite to be true: These are not new EVs, and they only number in the hundreds. Most are five to six years old and have seen significant use, with aftermarket accessories, trash in their interiors, and other signs of wear. That's because you're looking at a fleet of retired rideshare cars that were once operated in large cities in China: https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-real-story-of-that-chinese...
opposite? I never said they were new... and in fact I literally said they were used rideshare cars. Did you read what I put at all?
This post is explicitly about recycling used stuff...
I dispute that its only hundreds though. I've seen multiple vast fields of them in several distinct locations with several distinct makes of car. My understanding is that there are quite a few failing rideshare buisnesses. My very rough guess would be at least 2000 that i've seen, and I haven't looked into it that deeply.
There are also fields of electric bikes from similar failed buisnesses...
