Re: The EV thread Reply #180 – July 22, 2026, 01:29:54 pm BYD got caught flogging 2025 EV and hybrid vehicles as 2026 MY and they have now raised their compensation offer from $1100 to $3500. Given that EVs can lose 15% to 25% of their value in the first year, I'd be holding out for more.I heard on the wireless recently that drivers are waiting for months for warranty repairs because the proliferation of new overseas EV manufacturers are "inexperienced" with our consumer protection laws. If you're going to lash out on an EV, buy one from an established maufacturer. Quote Selected Last Edit: July 22, 2026, 03:14:54 pm by DJC 1 Likes
