1·4 months agothe battery itself is $25
Kinda steep considering a 3rd party store in Singapore charges a similar amount including labour for a battery replacement for a old redmi note 7.
Here in Singapore MMS was discontinued several years ago as people had left for other messaging platforms like WhatsApp long ago.

An official at the hospital in Yinchuan in Ningxia Hui autonomous region, northwestern China, said the fee was for two days’ use of a chair by the patient who was sitting on it while receiving an infusion.
$0.70 is a heck a lot cheaper than the consultation fees you get charged in a government subsidized medical institution in Singapore.

Well at least whatever profit Kia can’t make in China due to the low price. They can hopefully gain back from markets outside China thanks to the lack of competition driving prices down.
The opposite of dumping is happening. For example the Kia EV5 is sold at [$20k in China](https://electrek.co/2023/11/17/kia-launches-20k-ev5-electric-suv-china-rival-tesla-model-y/) while the same made in China model is sold overseas [Starting at $46k](https://electrek.co/2024/04/04/kia-set-to-export-this-all-electric-suv-at-a-price-that-undercuts-tesla/)
At this point I believe its the international market that is subsidising Chinese EVs. Take a look at the byd dolphin mini / seagull. It is priced starting at $21,000 in mexico while the price in China is from $9700. You find many other examples of the same car models sold at much higher price overseas than locally in China.

To save battery life I suppose. Also some phones may kill a background app even when told not to thus preventing messages from being received.
Probably something that does not require a phone number while still using google firebase notification system? Basically a less buggy version of session messenger.
From my understanding briar requires both clients to be online at the same time to use?
According to this reddit post many European car brands are offering massive discounts to compensate for lack of sales.
China is already at around 50% of new cars being plugin electric
So Europe went from suggesting decoupling from China to de-risking and now this?

According to Euro NCAP every Chinese car from 2022 to 2024 scored the maximum 5 stars.
