This phenomenon is primarily due to fears of high repair costs, lack of technical information, and long lead times for replacement parts.

Vehicles that use batteries as structural elements are more prone to being totaled by insurance companies.

I think you're missing what I'm saying here. I'm pointing out that Chinese auto makers don't have the same processes as more experienced companies. They're just slinging out cars into foreign markets with almost no extra work.

Besides, the article didn't say the cars are "fine", it quoted someone saying that they've seen some cars that would have been fixed quickly if it was a domestic brand because of part availability.
