But despite state largess and force of numbers, there are growing concerns about the quality and safety of Chinese-made EVs — particularly complaints from Chinese drivers regarding the country’s top brands such as BYD. The rise in reports of battery fires and other hazards raises questions about the reliability of the vehicles and their key components, which are also made in China.
According to statistical data from China’s National Fire and Rescue Administration, the rate of spontaneous fires in NEVs increased by 32 percent in the first quarter of 2024. This means that currently, an average of eight NEVs catch fire in China every day — nearly 3,000 a year.

What the true number of EV fires in China is, we will never know, but it's in the interests of their Communist Government to understate the true enormity of the problem. 10 BYD showrooms have burnt down so far. How many ICE vehicle showrooms have burnt down in the last 60 years due to what is on show? None.
