French government having to battle Chinese EVs

This topic is important, because it foreshadows what could soon be happening in America if we don’t start wising-up. Because similar to the United States government, the French government has been giving $5,000 incentives for customers to purchase a new electric...

Fixed annoying leak in the Porsche 944 for $5
