Is China leading the electric vehicle race? | BBC News


China’s aggressive push into overseas markets with its own electric vehicles has sparked a backlash in the US and Europe.

Governments are looking to protect their domestic car makers. An anti-subsidy investigation is wrapping up in the coming weeks and a response from Brussels is expected.

But with annual sales of electric vehicles…

  1. I really dislike this racist take against China. It reminds me of how german media and companies demonized and downplayed priducts that were manufactured by companies which were owned by Jewish people.

    Now start to behave and be fair again, BBC news. Also: despite you trying to tell us that the Chinese people doung economically better it's actually good for us.

    I am done with all the demonization of China and other coubtries by western politicians and western media…those who have sent our predecessors into meaningless wars by behaving exactly like this.

  2. OF course with a 90+% monopoly on battery and electronics supply China has a lead. What idiot places their faith in a single supply source? No one in the ICE vehicle industry. Only politicians and the woke who thing Net Zero is possible and can be achieved. CO2 is 1/2 of 1% of the atmosphere it is not the problem they make out.

  3. Electric car driving is a luxury experience, much quieter than ICE vehicles, and more convenient to own, with charging points in every house. The charging infrastructure outside of the home will mature in ~10 years, it’s ahead of its time, for now.
    I own a Chinese flashlight, and it’s very clear, even from this small product, with bidirectional charging, that the Chinese are at parity with the best in battery technology, if they haven’t already eclipsed the world in battery technology.

  4. US and Western Europe manufacturers are in no position to apprehend the gross impacts to have befallen on the Vehicles manufacturers ; and their valued cars that have prevailed for decades .. European and Japanese car manufacturers may simply stand no chance to this present imbroglio trying moments ..

  5. Politicians talking about tariffs against a country with almost 20% of the world's population (at least 1.4 billion people) is actually hilarious – yea let's see all your other export sectors start losing 20% of the world's market because your automakers can't play the EV game. Two can play the tariff game, and the one with the larger domestic market wins. Now who had 20% of world population again? 😂

  6. What about the battery fires? Later what is the cost to replace batteries in the future, or are these like cell phones, just purchase new ones.

  7. Stephen McDotard at his best – regurgitating talking points scripted for him like a parrot – overcapacity, subsidies, unfair trade practices, etc. 😂😂😂
