With Canada testing the waters with Chinese EVs, I'm expecting a related question to be thrown around a lot - How will consumers access warranty service and repair for imported EVs?Regulation maybe? Regulate the honest and straightforward disclosure of risk at a minimum.
Opening up the market so that we're not forced to choose between a select few car brands lets consumers weigh the risks themselves, based on their own appetites and tolerance levels. Give them the information.
In the longer term, the introduction of risk opens up new markets where companies like comma.ai (open pilot) could flourish and fill gaps for EV companies that go under or fail to deliver on the service side.
