5,000 cars out of 7,000 car capacity per trip. If the ship is on a 2-week schedule, that's 26 deliveries per year, for 180,000 total annually. BYD will have a half dozen ships, so that's direct export of over 1 million cars per year. That's enough to supply the entire US EV market.
@@michaelhermans4753 There probably won't be 100 Chinese brands that survive long term, but I can easily see a dozen or two Chinese / Chinese-owned brands succeed globally, covering all price points and sectors from LSEVs & Kei-class micros up to box and long-haul trucks.
@@ZweiZwolf I doubt one ship they could achieve a 2 week schedule and make 26 deliveries in one year .And do all these ships need to return to China empty ?
@@davidboskett5581Southeast Asia is literally days away by sea. What are they going to bring back on a dedicated RO-RO ship? Lower quality, polluting vehicles?
Ansar Allah have been attacking ships to pressure Israel to stop the genocide and Gaza. This is one of the reasons shipping costs have spiked in the last read. Shipping companies have to pay for more in insurance and labor. Some companies have elected to use longer safer routes. This drives up fuel cost as well.
Some companies went on China. Buy the stock BYD it might take a little longer things will shake out once the billions and losses for many companies including Chinese everything's even 0%. I mean it's crazy
The ships are the logical response to shipping companies increasing costs to manufacturers, I think EV have destroyed two or three ships if I can remember correctly with fires so it is they whom bear the risks. I can't see any company being able to complete, even if they attempt to use tarriffs in the long term BYD and maybe a dozen others will survive long term.
The deciding factor whether domestic companies can compete is whether they can be overhauled completely in 3 years' time. I believe none in the car industry of the US and EU can do that. Most probably those companies will be shut down or become non-relevant 3 years from now.
@@eugenec7130 Yep, I think China will be the automobile powerhouse, Stellantis is about to go tits up, this will give VW a short reprieve. All the Japanese brands are dead except Toyota, Legacy car makers need to keep making ICE and hybrids for any of them to survive, there attempts with EV's have brought all of them to the cusp of bankruptcy. I think of the American makers only Tesla will survive, but with the price of the Chinese EV's continuing to shrink the writing is on the wall. Ten years from now your average EV will be less than half of what they are today.
The fire on board the cargo ship off the Dutch coast back in Aug 2023 was first thought to be caused by an ev. But salvage crew dismissed it as they found all 498 evs parked in lower deck were undamaged. Another huge fire that destroyed 1200 cars in tbe Luton Airport car park in Oct 2023 was also thought to be caused by an ev. Again it was confirmed that a diesel powered Range Rover that's the cause.
@@kamsunleong6648 The first thing comes to the minds of most people when there is a fire in a carpark is EVs are causing the fire. As a matter of fact, most vehicles which catch fire are gasoline or diesel ones.
Going from Beijing to London, by ship, around cape of good hope at 19 knots is 34 days. It takes 5 days to load or unload the ship. That means 4.8 deliveries per year. 7 ships x 5,000 cars x 4.8 trips = 168,000 cars per year. That’s is not enough ships for BYD to meets their export goals.
@ why not the Suez? Because of the risk of being attacked by the Houthi’s. Suez travel is down by 70% in 2024 because the insurance costs are greater than the fuel and labor costs to go the long route.
If they don't want to use the Suez route they can use the Russian Northern route. Chinese vessels are not being targeted through Suez though. That's reserved for the bad boys.
I believe China is making significant positive contributions to the world. First and foremost, it teaches us the importance of self-reliance. Dependence on others leaves you vulnerable, as they can change their policies or raise prices at any time-this was clearly demonstrated with rising shipping costs. Secondly, the rest of the world can learn valuable lessons from China. The West is not a true friend. Their currencies are 5-8 times stronger than those of most countries, which means anything you buy from them comes with a significant added cost due to their high currency value. On top of that, they constantly create new systems and jargon to extract more money from others, such as tariffs or restricting the "right to repair" products like iPhones or John Deere farming equipment. The West is driven by capitalism, always finding ways to make more take more from you at the detriment of others. We must think carefully and twice before aligning ourselves with such values. Instead, we should work with countries that are friendly and share similar values. Our way of life, not the western greed way of life. Do not allow others to contaminate our way of life. We need to free ourselves from the chains of slavery and imperialism imposed by Europe and the USA. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
@@ohcho-fg4co You're either a dinosaur or a bogan maybe both 🤣 Either way you don't have a clue 🤪 By the way Toyota is going to go broke and I bet you drive one 😜
The era of internal combustion engines is drawing to a close, and legacy car makers must acknowledge that their heritage is a relic of the past. To succeed in the electric vehicle (EV) era, they must break free from the shackles of their rich history and start anew. This means archiving their past achievements and not allowing them to influence their EV strategy. In fact, a clean slate is essential - even to the point of rebranding, as Audi has done by dropping its iconic 4-ring logo. BMW, however, has taken the lead by developing its EV range, Neue Klasse, from scratch, unencumbered by the influence of its ICE models. By incorporating a recycling and circular economy strategy, BMW has demonstrated a genuine commitment to reducing the pace of climate change, rather than simply paying lip service to regulatory requirements.
My opinion about the leaked email: If the suppliers are getting pushed too hard, it will show in the product. And the tolerances for error are small. The consumer is not very forgiving. Nobody wants a junk car, with cheap parts.
Very true. Somebody please come up with another physics law: After the price gets below a threshold, the quality of a product is proportional to its price.
the background story is that the supplier has 30% gross (was once up to 38% I read the profit charts), BYD told it to drop 10%, because they have bigger orders now. By the way BYD itself has less than 20% gross. I don't think it was bad or junk.
@ That’s all good, as long as the buyer can live with the ultimate quality delivered. As a manufacturer. By definition assume point you’re choosing what kind of merchandise you are. And the market probably agrees.
He still owns under 5% of BYD. Back in 2008, he purchased about 10% of BYD for $230 million. Actually he wanted to purchase more than 10%, but the CEO of BYD restricted his purchase to about 10%. His investment has increased by 20 folds. His $230 million became $4.6 billion.
The tariffs are only rising to bring them to EU and production in Turkey isn't going to help with that. If they are built in Hungary they might have slight cost benefit to local production, but that isn't something that local brands can't compete with in the long run as VW etc. can also build their cars in Hungary if it's cheaper than other EU countries. "BRUSSELS, Oct 29 (Reuters) - The European Union has decided to increase tariffs on Chinese-built electric vehicles to as much as 45.3% at the end of its highest profile trade investigation that has divided Europe and prompted retaliation from Beijing."
I don't think that Chinese car companies will collapse all other car manufacturers. Hard to see people giving up their beloved Porshe, Beemer Mercedes Ford etc. to drive a Chinese produced EV. They will hang on to theirs as long as possible and replace with similar if available. Although given the latest from China it will be hard to ignore.
My MB is 10 years old and at my age I don’t want to spend $65K to $80K for another “luxury” vehicle, these low cost EV is a very appealing to me. I will also add that where I live, the car insurance has increased so much that I need to offset this will an more affordable car. Therefore, I would get these EVs once my current car is kaput!
Confused though why car container shipping is expensive, it should be the opposite with all the china exports. But I guess no reason leaving margin on the table
Let's hope they put no BEVs on board; there is a well known video of a car carrier truck with BYD BEVs on board going to a dealership - but it didn't make it; they caught on fire before they got there. We don't need another Falicity Ace car carrying ship sinking.
No there hasn’t 😂 You know how rare a ev fire is. And it can only happen from morons puting adapters on. Which isn’t even the car it’s the outlet lmao Fake news
There have been a couple of fires on ships carrying EVs as well as ICE vehicles but it hasn't been shown that the EVs were the cause. It is merely speculation.
@@K9314-b8s "source?" not being an ignorant moron. Next time do you're own research you lazy jerk. 2019: The Grande America 2022: Felicity Ace 2023: Grande Costa D'Avorio 2023: MV Fremantle Highway etc.
I don’t know how the court cases for VW is going when it’s EV self combusted on a car transporter ship and burnt for over a week destroying the ship and all other cars. This has probably contributed to VW downfall but also a valuable lesson that it would be cheaper to burn your own stock and ship than other companies and different brand cars.
The Chinese govt is reported to be paying a bounty on every EV that is exported. If true, and depending on how much per car that is, that might explain why BYD is still sending masses of EVs to the EU even with tariffs. I do not know if the above is true.
Byd becomes more and more a hybrid make and runs s serious risk to miss out in the growing full EV segment after full Ice cars are gone in China. Looks like they get arrogant before being rich enough to be able to invest in non core operations. Now think Zeekr, Xpeng etc could become the winners in the end in China! Bad treatment of suppliers will have it consequences on quality in the end.
I was hoping you were going to announce that BYD are powering this ship by battery, or even better plugging into the batteries of the 5000 EV’s on board to power her!
@@G_de_Colignyyeah. The country that builds more than 50% of commercial ships. The country that build the largest armada and burned them whem you little europeans burns your witches and thinks earth is the center of the universe

Sam, The tarrifs applied by the USA and the EU are not paid by BYD. They are taxes paid by the customers to the EU governments. All this will do is increase inflation in Europe and allow the EU manufacturers to remain uncompetitive and ultimately fail.
@@ISuperTed They have little to no tax on plug in hybrids so they'll be milking Europe. Their margins on Pures are cut drastically but still make profit.

It’s ironic that EVs are transported by DIESEL! Build an EV ship to transport that stuff. Oh wait, it won’t happen because you can recharge a battery in open water. th-cam.com/video/fmbZwxEnAFc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=K2QGPTKCxTOACcVO For those who have not watched the TV show Landman, here is a good demonstration of why EVs, Wind Turbine Factories and Solar Panels will never be environmentally friendly. Note, Billy Bob Thorton’s character says, “if Exxon saw it as profitable, they would slap these things up all over the place.”
I think Exxon will push oil before environmentals as long as it's cheaper to produce while controlling supply and price. They don't compete, they control. Otherwise, the US would have effective mass transit and cleaner air and water, among other utopian dreams.
"Only tesla could compete with BYD". Tesla bareley make any profit as it is with high priced vehicles. The only reason Tesla is making money is because of it's over valuation that is constantly being leverage. People buy Teslas as a social status symbol, not because it's affordable. If they start trying to compete with BYD to make affordable and cheap cars, it will devalue the Brand and thus, it's market value.
Here in U.K. l have only spotted one BYD car so far and l have been looking. Many EVs on our roads but the only Chinese made cars seem to be for western brands, mainly Teslas. Main Chinese brand here is MG.
Compete with quality and price or perish... No one obstructed european high priced cr..ap goods, now tables are turned, manufacturing fron barath, china, vietnam , thailand etc etc.
Dude you are living in an alternative reality. Only wealthy people with access to cheap electricity and recharging infrastructure will buy EVs. I travel widely around the world, vast vehicle markets where there is zero incentive or means to buy an EV. Expensive electricity and no infrastructure.
You really have no idea😮why don't you go to China and see a billion people with electric cars and no fires spoken like a true bogan 400,000 gas fuel-related fires in the States per annum and only 2000 electric get your facts right before you try and quote your b*******

That's not Moore's Law btw. That's specific to CPUs.
Hi
It would have been nice to see the inner workings of the ship instead of seeing how the cars are made since the headline was mega car ships😮
That wasn't Moore's Law.
It has been said before, THAT is not Moore's law.
What you mean probably is, Wright's law.
if that's not commitment, idk what is
It's an impressive start to China's take-over of the car industry.
How things stand in 5 to 10 years will be interesting, are Chinese car's reliable, do they have good dealer/manufacturer backup, (parts availability, honouring warranty etc) will there be demand/value in the second-hand market and will other countries allow China to succeed with this.
We simply don't know yet, the whole thing could collapse very quickly, time will tell
Europeans have not much to trade with China now except some agricultural products but the can always teach Chinese how to go on vacation.
And everyone of them is tracked.
Uneducated bloke 😆
It's a SERIOUS THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY. People can't grasp the EPIC.DANGER that's coming. Nobody will stop it now that.Elon Bribedhis way into Trump.admin
Sam - That’s not really Moore’s Law. Moore’s Law has to do with the doubling of the number of transistors on a semiconductor chip every x number of years. This law that you are confusing with Moore’s Law can be called Sam’s Law…
Sans law is tell many lies the amount of lies believed doubles as the. Number of lies told is sqaured
I think, Sam is revering to Wright's Law.
It might seem a lot of cars to countries like Australia and NZ but 5000 is not going to make much impact considering the size of the EU car market.
5,000 cars out of 7,000 car capacity per trip. If the ship is on a 2-week schedule, that's 26 deliveries per year, for 180,000 total annually. BYD will have a half dozen ships, so that's direct export of over 1 million cars per year. That's enough to supply the entire US EV market.
@@ZweiZwolfand that’s just BYD what about the other 100 Chinese car manufacturers
@@michaelhermans4753 There probably won't be 100 Chinese brands that survive long term, but I can easily see a dozen or two Chinese / Chinese-owned brands succeed globally, covering all price points and sectors from LSEVs & Kei-class micros up to box and long-haul trucks.
@@ZweiZwolf I doubt one ship they could achieve a 2 week schedule and make 26 deliveries in one year .And do all these ships need to return to China empty ?
@@davidboskett5581Southeast Asia is literally days away by sea.
What are they going to bring back on a dedicated RO-RO ship? Lower quality, polluting vehicles?
any footage on how the cars are stored inside the boat?
Still nearly no BYD cars in Europe.the most cars I see are from Tesla kIA HYUNDIA VW and Peugeot
BYD has actually lots of problems to get their cars sold in northern Europe. Brutal fact
Small part of the world. They are doing great elsewhere. Best selling ev brand here in Asean. They have a 53% share of the Latin American market.
Ansar Allah have been attacking ships to pressure Israel to stop the genocide and Gaza. This is one of the reasons shipping costs have spiked in the last read. Shipping companies have to pay for more in insurance and labor. Some companies have elected to use longer safer routes. This drives up fuel cost as well.
Is the ship also powered by blade battery? That would be awesome. The fuel is only used as generators to charge those batteries
Some companies went on China. Buy the stock BYD it might take a little longer things will shake out once the billions and losses for many companies including Chinese everything's even 0%. I mean it's crazy
The ships are the logical response to shipping companies increasing costs to manufacturers, I think EV have destroyed two or three ships if I can remember correctly with fires so it is they whom bear the risks. I can't see any company being able to complete, even if they attempt to use tarriffs in the long term BYD and maybe a dozen others will survive long term.
The deciding factor whether domestic companies can compete is whether they can be overhauled completely in 3 years' time. I believe none in the car industry of the US and EU can do that. Most probably those companies will be shut down or become non-relevant 3 years from now.
@@eugenec7130 Yep, I think China will be the automobile powerhouse, Stellantis is about to go tits up, this will give VW a short reprieve. All the Japanese brands are dead except Toyota, Legacy car makers need to keep making ICE and hybrids for any of them to survive, there attempts with EV's have brought all of them to the cusp of bankruptcy. I think of the American makers only Tesla will survive, but with the price of the Chinese EV's continuing to shrink the writing is on the wall. Ten years from now your average EV will be less than half of what they are today.
The fire on board the cargo ship off the Dutch coast back in Aug 2023 was first thought to be caused by an ev. But salvage crew dismissed it as they found all 498 evs parked in lower deck were undamaged. Another huge fire that destroyed 1200 cars in tbe Luton Airport car park in Oct 2023 was also thought to be caused by an ev. Again it was confirmed that a diesel powered Range Rover that's the cause.
@@kamsunleong6648 The first thing comes to the minds of most people when there is a fire in a carpark is EVs are causing the fire. As a matter of fact, most vehicles which catch fire are gasoline or diesel ones.
@@eugenec7130 And they are totally fine when fuel cars catching fire. But they go nuts when EVs do the same.
Going from Beijing to London, by ship, around cape of good hope at 19 knots is 34 days. It takes 5 days to load or unload the ship. That means 4.8 deliveries per year. 7 ships x 5,000 cars x 4.8 trips = 168,000 cars per year. That’s is not enough ships for BYD to meets their export goals.
Why would they go around the Cape when the ship is smaller than a Suezmax tanker? Why London when they can disembark in one of the PIGS?
@ why not the Suez? Because of the risk of being attacked by the Houthi’s. Suez travel is down by 70% in 2024 because the insurance costs are greater than the fuel and labor costs to go the long route.
@@larzlarz1140 Houthis will not attack Chinese ship.
@@larzlarz1140 I am pretty sure Houthi's are not attacking Chinese cargos.
If they don't want to use the Suez route they can use the Russian Northern route.
Chinese vessels are not being targeted through Suez though.
That's reserved for the bad boys.
I believe China is making significant positive contributions to the world. First and foremost, it teaches us the importance of self-reliance. Dependence on others leaves you vulnerable, as they can change their policies or raise prices at any time-this was clearly demonstrated with rising shipping costs.
Secondly, the rest of the world can learn valuable lessons from China. The West is not a true friend. Their currencies are 5-8 times stronger than those of most countries, which means anything you buy from them comes with a significant added cost due to their high currency value. On top of that, they constantly create new systems and jargon to extract more money from others, such as tariffs or restricting the "right to repair" products like iPhones or John Deere farming equipment.
The West is driven by capitalism, always finding ways to make more take more from you at the detriment of others. We must think carefully and twice before aligning ourselves with such values. Instead, we should work with countries that are friendly and share similar values. Our way of life, not the western greed way of life. Do not allow others to contaminate our way of life. We need to free ourselves from the chains of slavery and imperialism imposed by Europe and the USA.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Its hard for ICE car manufacturers to sell cars if they get fined for selling too many.
They are not getting fined. They are forced to pay the full cost of the pollution their products create.
What will robotiaxis do to BYD???
BYD will build and sell/lease robo-taxis.
Nothing. It will be years before they even come in the US, let alone elsewhere.
How about the tariffs?
Byd to go bust.
@@ohcho-fg4co You're either a dinosaur or a bogan maybe both 🤣
Either way you don't have a clue 🤪
By the way Toyota is going to go broke and I bet you drive one 😜
The era of internal combustion engines is drawing to a close, and legacy car makers must acknowledge that their heritage is a relic of the past. To succeed in the electric vehicle (EV) era, they must break free from the shackles of their rich history and start anew. This means archiving their past achievements and not allowing them to influence their EV strategy. In fact, a clean slate is essential - even to the point of rebranding, as Audi has done by dropping its iconic 4-ring logo. BMW, however, has taken the lead by developing its EV range, Neue Klasse, from scratch, unencumbered by the influence of its ICE models. By incorporating a recycling and circular economy strategy, BMW has demonstrated a genuine commitment to reducing the pace of climate change, rather than simply paying lip service to regulatory requirements.
Even if BYD wanted to capture just 5% the European market it would still need to send 120 shiploads a year
Done
They are building their factory in Hungary.
VW has prepared for this and filled the European port lots with own cars, so Byd will have to bring back
My opinion about the leaked email: If the suppliers are getting pushed too hard, it will show in the product. And the tolerances for error are small. The consumer is not very forgiving. Nobody wants a junk car, with cheap parts.
Very true. Somebody please come up with another physics law: After the price gets below a threshold, the quality of a product is proportional to its price.
the background story is that the supplier has 30% gross (was once up to 38% I read the profit charts), BYD told it to drop 10%, because they have bigger orders now. By the way BYD itself has less than 20% gross. I don't think it was bad or junk.
Suppliers are pushed hard with all global manufacturing
@ That’s all good, as long as the buyer can live with the ultimate quality delivered. As a manufacturer. By definition assume point you’re choosing what kind of merchandise you are. And the market probably agrees.
Didn't stellantis just fire their CEO for doing the same thing?
Warren Buffet realy have a magnificent bussiness acyment on his investment. Wonder if he still owns part of BYD.
He still owns under 5% of BYD. Back in 2008, he purchased about 10% of BYD for $230 million. Actually he wanted to purchase more than 10%, but the CEO of BYD restricted his purchase to about 10%. His investment has increased by 20 folds. His $230 million became $4.6 billion.
The tariffs are only rising to bring them to EU and production in Turkey isn't going to help with that. If they are built in Hungary they might have slight cost benefit to local production, but that isn't something that local brands can't compete with in the long run as VW etc. can also build their cars in Hungary if it's cheaper than other EU countries.
"BRUSSELS, Oct 29 (Reuters) - The European Union has decided to increase tariffs on Chinese-built electric vehicles to as much as 45.3% at the end of its highest profile trade investigation that has divided Europe and prompted retaliation from Beijing."
I don't think that Chinese car companies will collapse all other car manufacturers. Hard to see people giving up their beloved Porshe, Beemer Mercedes Ford etc. to drive a Chinese produced EV. They will hang on to theirs as long as possible and replace with similar if available. Although given the latest from China it will be hard to ignore.
Ken...get with the program.
It's exactly what's happening in China today, and to a lesser extent all over ASEAN.
Porsche sales are miniscule, as are high end Merc and BMW. BYD are going for the volume market.
My MB is 10 years old and at my age I don’t want to spend $65K to $80K for another “luxury” vehicle, these low cost EV is a very appealing to me. I will also add that where I live, the car insurance has increased so much that I need to offset this will an more affordable car. Therefore, I would get these EVs once my current car is kaput!
I’m hanging on to my beloved model T Ford yeah right
Sam, this is good. Tell us the truth
I thought that Eu had cancelled their tariff
not yet, they are talking to china about this. They want a minimum price on the cars to skip it.
They need to bring down the cost of fuel for ICE cars to become relevant
Not a chance
Not gonna happen. Fossil fuel price is surely increasing as battery price is surely decreasing
Confused though why car container shipping is expensive, it should be the opposite with all the china exports. But I guess no reason leaving margin on the table
In the future, every car in world will be a BYD.
no
No. Never happen. No one can be monopoly in EVs/cars. And Tesla seems to be more likely to be the next Toyota.
💪😎👍🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Let's hope they put no BEVs on board; there is a well known video of a car carrier truck with BYD BEVs on board going to a dealership - but it didn't make it; they caught on fire before they got there. We don't need another Falicity Ace car carrying ship sinking.
there's been more then one whole ship sunk due to just one faulty EV going up in flames..... good luck
source?
No there hasn’t 😂
You know how rare a ev fire is.
And it can only happen from morons puting adapters on.
Which isn’t even the car it’s the outlet lmao
Fake news
There have been a couple of fires on ships carrying EVs as well as ICE vehicles but it hasn't been shown that the EVs were the cause. It is merely speculation.
@@peteranderson7487 sure, but how often did this kind of thing happen before EVs?

It never will. Sorry to disappoint you.
How on earth can you say that. Two have already sunk.
They can send how many they want. But will we buy them? And besides, they are not cheap, they are very expensive.
I don't know a single person ready to buy these cars. If taxes keep the prices equal they are going to have a hard time
I don’t know how the court cases for VW is going when it’s EV self combusted on a car transporter ship and burnt for over a week destroying the ship and all other cars. This has probably contributed to VW downfall but also a valuable lesson that it would be cheaper to burn your own stock and ship than other companies and different brand cars.
The Chinese govt is reported to be paying a bounty on every EV that is exported. If true, and depending on how much per car that is, that might explain why BYD is still sending masses of EVs to the EU even with tariffs.
I do not know if the above is true.
It's BS.
most of the information on the Internet is fake, only one thing is true: no one is doing a loss-making business
I wonder if IG Metal will claim this ship for scrap metals.
Byd becomes more and more a hybrid make and runs s serious risk to miss out in the growing full EV segment after full Ice cars are gone in China.
Looks like they get arrogant before being rich enough to be able to invest in non core operations. Now think Zeekr, Xpeng etc could become the winners in the end in China!
Bad treatment of suppliers will have it consequences on quality in the end.
How many remote control cars does it take to destroy a.city ?
Sad troll
Just cause.your not smart.enough to answer dont.mean others are@ISuperTed
I was hoping you were going to announce that BYD are powering this ship by battery, or even better plugging into the batteries of the 5000 EV’s on board to power her!
Are you really discovering roll-on/roll-off ships only today !?
You are missing the point son...they have made their own ships.
@ that’s not even a point… building a ro-ro is not rocket surgery…
Well…
maybe it is for china… but for normal industrialized countries, not so much…
@@G_de_Coligny Tell me another car company that has built its own ships to move cars? any company in the last 100 years...I will wait.
@@G_de_Colignyyeah. The country that builds more than 50% of commercial ships. The country that build the largest armada and burned them whem you little europeans burns your witches and thinks earth is the center of the universe
@@G_de_Coligny, Are you even serious? "ro-ro may be hard for China but not other industrialized countries..." Check who made the most ships last year. Check which country is the MOST industrialized country on this planet. Sad, if you don't have any knowledge then keep it shut.
International new ship orders last year: China 50% Korea 21% Japan 16%. 3 NOT SO industrialized countries in your eyes compare to EU/US built about 90% of the ships on planet Earth.
Wordsalad much?
Wish them luck as i think they could buy some cheap ones from JPN car makes!! Toyota will have a few obsolete soon!!!😂
Is the ship battery electric and zero emissions? If not, then I don't want one - I'm too pretentious and morally self-righteous.
Sam,
The tarrifs applied by the USA and the EU are not paid by BYD. They are taxes paid by the customers to the EU governments. All this will do is increase inflation in Europe and allow the EU manufacturers to remain uncompetitive and ultimately fail.
BYD doesn’t care about 28% tax, because it’s Europeans who pay the tax. That’s how tariffs work.
But you can just don't buy their cars, then you would not need to pay the tax
Yes, but that means the car price is higher so they sell less as people will buy other cars.
@@ISuperTed
They have little to no tax on plug in hybrids so they'll be milking Europe. Their margins on Pures are cut drastically but still make profit.
You are very smart and best comment any posted👍🙏
@@ISuperTed People rather pay more for Chinese EV or Hybrid and get premium feature for the same price, thats the trend today. Their cheap EV blows other completion with tons of feature lol
why they ain’t using the train?
There are plenty of other stuff that China send to Europe by train. Like electrical goods and devices, auto parts, household appliances etc.
It’s ironic that EVs are transported by DIESEL! Build an EV ship to transport that stuff. Oh wait, it won’t happen because you can recharge a battery in open water.

For those who have not watched the TV show Landman, here is a good demonstration of why EVs, Wind Turbine Factories and Solar Panels will never be environmentally friendly. Note, Billy Bob Thorton’s character says, “if Exxon saw it as profitable, they would slap these things up all over the place.”
I think Exxon will push oil before environmentals as long as it's cheaper to produce while controlling supply and price. They don't compete, they control. Otherwise, the US would have effective mass transit and cleaner air and water, among other utopian dreams.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine might have something to do with increased shipping costs!
"Only tesla could compete with BYD". Tesla bareley make any profit as it is with high priced vehicles. The only reason Tesla is making money is because of it's over valuation that is constantly being leverage. People buy Teslas as a social status symbol, not because it's affordable. If they start trying to compete with BYD to make affordable and cheap cars, it will devalue the Brand and thus, it's market value.
does the ship run on batteries?
They clearly have "Powered by LNG" logos on their sides !
@0utcastAussie I hadn't got to that part of the video when I commented
These vessels are to move the CCCP military equipment to Taiwan...in the meantime they are perfect to move cars...😂..
Really? I’m here in Europe, I haven’t seen a single one unfortunately, I guess they are stuck with some tariffs I heard.
Here in U.K. l have only spotted one BYD car so far and l have been looking. Many EVs on our roads but the only Chinese made cars seem to be for western brands, mainly Teslas. Main Chinese brand here is MG.
yes, with Tariffs they will be more expensive, every government does it to protect their local industries.
Compete with quality and price or perish... No one obstructed european high priced cr..ap goods, now tables are turned, manufacturing fron barath, china, vietnam , thailand etc etc.
Dude you are living in an alternative reality. Only wealthy people with access to cheap electricity and recharging infrastructure will buy EVs. I travel widely around the world, vast vehicle markets where there is zero incentive or means to buy an EV. Expensive electricity and no infrastructure.
Do their ships float on electricity? 😅

You really have no idea😮why don't you go to China and see a billion people with electric cars and no fires spoken like a true bogan
400,000 gas fuel-related fires in the States per annum and only 2000 electric get your facts right before you try and quote your b*******
they have blade batteries, impossible to catch a fire. its a game changer. that's why their cars has better ranges compared to cobalt.lithium batteries.
