News and other articles with clickbait bypassed by including the spoiler in the title (put it after a vertical bar "|") or in the post body. Same basic idea as reddit's savedyouaclick, but less uptight for now. E.g. it's fine to link directly to non-paywalled news sources. Mod volunteers wanted.

This country quietly became an electric haven with EVs now having 76% market shares

From no EVs to almost only EVs in about 5 years.

This should be the logical conclusion for any country with decent electrical infrastructure, not being too spread out, and access to cheap Chinese EVs, but unfortunately vested interests/politics prevent this for quite a few countries.

I'm from Nepal and while the trend is positive, there's not enough infrastructure or long term planning to make it dependable for anyone outside of the metropolitan areas.

There are no recycling plants, no guarantees some of these companies won't disappear. Workforce to tackle problems arising for depending on software on these vehicles are also lacking. Most of the geography is hills and mountains, battery technology that heat up degrade faster and are not ideal for the region.

The corruption in this country runs wild. It sucks being cramped between two big countries that can just buy off your politicians for cheap and sway policies to benefit them.

Going all in may provide short term relief but I'm afraid we're just going to be a product dumping ground for these two nations without a shred of thought put into being self dependent.
