I think very few EV companies are actually making money.

Sad part with the article is that she's in China, driving a Chinese car with Chinese made parts... and they still don't have replacement parts available.

When inventory are at its highest due to poor global demand, they still can't scare up a replacement battery pack?

Foreshadowing what many local owners will likely experience once their pretty EVs starts to show their age.

I think its not so much EVs in this case but rather startup brands not having the financial stability to weather a downturn in a crowded market.

If its like the other car companies that are currently facing financial trouble or have gone under in china chances are their suppliers aren't willing to supply more parts until they could settle their debts.
