It is just my observation, but I think Tesla is like 5 years ahead when it comes to battery safety.

Eh? The best-selling EV brand for the last few months in Germany has been BYD.

I'm seeing a lot about security concerns (i.e. the usual China/surveillance thing), but not a lot about battery safety, apart from scooter batteries. (China-specific concerns that is, beyond the general EV battery concerns).

Europe is full of Chinese EVs. I see MG and BYD cars all the time, with Nio starting to make inroads. Plus of of course Polestar (which may or may not be a Chinese EV depending on how you define things)

    After over 20 years of development, BYD has grown from a brand that has never been known in Europe to a compelling new energy vehicle industry leader. Thanks to the efforts of the European branch, BYD's pure electric buses have already been sold in more than 20 countries and in over 100 major European cities including Amsterdam (the Netherlands), London (the UK), Ankara (Turkey), Madrid (Spain), and Turin (Italy).

    Besides that, BYD has one electric bus factory in Europe which is located in Komarom, Hungary.

Well, I better tell my neighbour who has his MG4 parked in his driveway this precise moment!
