Good, China doing well here. In the first six months of 2024, they exported 2.79 million cars, a 31 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Second place in this ranking goes to Japan, which sold 2.02 million vehicles abroad-0.3 percent less than the previous year. *Although electrification is gaining momentum, the majority of vehicles exported from China are still internal combustion cars-2.19 million.*
Yes. BYD (strength in its battery tech) and Geely (it’s car making experience). But also SAIC, and Chery as they have longer history of making cars. In electronics and software, it’ll be Aito (Huawei) and Xiaomi with their superior software and electronics capability and talent, not to mention deep pockets.

This idea in the west that only elite drive Mercedes, BMW and Audi in China is completely wrong you will see farmers and street vendors driving them (no disrespect to farmer and street vendors) and unloading stock from the boot of these cars. These cars have no prestige in China anymore. BYD is going through the process to sell cars in Pakistan which means they will start assembling locally like GWM, Changan, MG and Cherry and many other legacy automakers. Very profitable market the mark ups are huge on the condition the cars are assembled locally otherwise the import taxes are huge for new cars.
China brings cheaper cars. Waiting for the optimal BYD Seagull or similar (with sodium batt;) If we didn't have too many monster killer 4WD/Utes in cities (the need to pay much higher tax), the safety would be appropriate with majority small cars, so the Seagull would be cheaper without upgrades.
I don’t understand how Chinese can manufacture affordable EVs while European and Japanese can’t…for sure it can’t be the labour cost only…but from a consumer point of view if a product is good and priced correctly it should not matter from which country they come from…
Not an expert but I'm pretty sure I've heard that it's because China can manufacture almost 100% of the EV. From the batteries, motors, to the leather and screen on the dashboard -- are all sourced within China.
BYD as an example they make most of the thing themself so cut out the middle man, with vertical integration every part cost is greatly reduce. but most important is they invest huge amount in automation mean faster less waste. back to automation. some PORT thay have require less than a dozen people to operate where normal one require hundred if not thousand of people working on it.
@@leoniebachmann2677 you wrong on every level. you not seen their factory have you? or understand how they can produce a product cheap. subsidies for ev end 2022, If CN subsidies everything where they get money from?
The US doesn't ban Chinese EVs. It just puts a 100% tariff on them. So, are the Chinese manufacturers going through the process of having their EVs, or at least a few of them, meet US DOT certification? Safety regulations mostly. Then perhaps a few will be sold in the US and driven around to show the US consumers what they are missing? I could definitely see a demand for the EV super cars as wealthy US buyers will pay a lot for a unique car they can show off.
@@alanhall6909U.S. policy toward Chinese cars is hostile and unstable. When Chinese cars are willing to pay 100% tariffs to enter the U.S. market, U.S. policies may change in a more stringent direction, such as requiring the sale of U.S. branches to U.S. companies.
If Chinese EVs are so tofu and their economy is collapsing, why bother blocking them with tariff. I even have my doubt about Tesla self driving. Not sure I would pay the money for it subscription. Isn't most Chinese self driving free?
You're not talking UK are you? I'm in a major English city and I drive up to 80,000 miles a year. Except for MG, I have not seen one Chinese car on our roads.
Uh Sam you have reported many times how the Chinese were not exporting a lot of cars and how worrisome that was. Well now they just started... of course it went up 32%... which is actually paltry given the massive over production of EVs in China. It should have been like 300%. It just shows how countries are so far behind on their housing having charging availability. If I had to point at one thing to explain the reluctance of EV adoption it would be electrical charging availability in rental property. Many more people in the Southern Pacific area live in rental properties.... apartments.... having little or no access to EV charging. Sure there are exceptions but overall it is painfully slow changing. Until govts around the world force (and financially make it possible) for apartments to install charging infrastructure for all their tenants, EV adoption will not reach the hoped for percentages first envisioned.
The same story happened in the photovoltaic industry. But this will not affect the surviving Chinese manufacturers to dominate the market. As a socialist country, China fully accepts "free competition, survival of the fittest". On the contrary, the West is afraid of competition.
Electric Viking, maybe you should make a video on why China is selling so many EVs in China. In other words, you are basically forced to buy EVs in China due to very high registration costs etc to buy an ICE car, subsidies for EVs to make them cheaper etc. Not a single Chinese EV maker makes money on their EVs so the fact that sell more is not a good sign. It only shows that the Chinese government is losing a lot of money on these loss making investments.
I have driven the byd atto 3 and MG 4 they look and drive well but look at china" history in manufacturing its all poor quality and nothing lasts thats made in china.Why would you gamble with your 40 or 50 grand on chinese cars knowing their track record of making desposable goods ?
