In a process akin to "dumping" to gain market share, China's EV manufacturers are pocketing government sales bonuses, then dumping "sold" EVs in foreign markets at low prices.

iirc its usually not a landfill but China has a lot of unused land, so there are places with just entire lots of EVs not being in use.

there was a chunk due to the rideshare boom https://www.carscoops.com/2023/08/the-real-story-behind-chinas-graveyards-of-abandoned-evs/

similar to the current story it all revolves around taking advantage of the government rebates for new evs

Yeah I meant the graveyards. The world over has em so it's not a china problem, but a corporation problem.
