    What i understand is that the rdw (they do safety and quality checks for new cars to be sold in europe etc) is that the safety rules to get new cars to europe is very strict and the chinese either dont want to or dont know how to meet these requirements. And if a chinese electric car is allowed in to be sold to the masses they meet the absolute minimum requirements to do so. So not a mm (or inch which is more btw) extra effort for safety just so it can be sold.

      That’s the point of safety standards though. If you meet the standard you are safe enough. If you want higher standards bring it up with your government. I regularly complain to my legislators about it because American safety standards are laughable.
