BYD is kicking off a price war with gas-powered cars as new lower-priced electric vehicles begin rolling out. After launching the new Qin Plus EV Honor Edition on Monday, BYD said it’s “officially opening a new era of electricity is lower than oil.”

    Rooting for any company is always a bad idea. Companies are never your friend. They’ll always put profits first - way before ethics, values or even laws or common sense. Don’t trust them, don’t depend on them and especially don’t root for them.

      Hear hear! This is one of the few black-and-white things in life. Every little thing a company does (or says) is meant for the betterment of their next quarterly report.

      No matter how much a company says they “stand with” anyone, regardless of the popularity of the cause, their goal is to look better and convince more people that only they offer truly ethical consumption.

      To be fair, I enjoy spectating any and all drama between the corps. However, in the immortal words of a shitty sci-fi movie poster: Whoever wins, we lose.
