In Shenzhen 100% of taxis and 100% of buses are EV. Many Chinese cities are catching up with converting public transport and taxis to EV

People have no idea how much the giant energy and auto makers lobbied to eliminate public transportation and clean energy development.

Leaders from top to municipal level in China are mostly engineer or construction or water graduates, while leaders of different levels in US are mostly lawyers or politics graduates.

This fool hasn’t seen Nio yet. Nio is a quality product.

The main issue, China is focused on long term while USA is focused on next election

I had an EV in China from 2009 - 2016. Then I returned to Australia and here I can't afford one...

4:53 "The amount of funding that has been poured into the [BEV] industry is mind boggling." Let's not forget the US5.7 trillion dollars [trillion, not billion] that ANNUALLY is given as subsidy to global oil industries. Thankfully, that is starting to drop. Against that though, BEV funding is a drop in the ocean.

Excellent Work China.China did a good job for the environment and the good cause. It needed praise and support from the world.

Wow, I'm so surprised. It's almost like spending trillions of dollars on wars for oil was a bad investment. 🤔

Things are definitely shifting. America is no longer the leader in many many things. I realized how far behind America was in so many things when I was in Europe for 2 years, yet we’re so arrogant and ignorant of what’s really happening in the world.

Currently, the top ten sales of electric vehicles in the Chinese market are all Chinese brands, except for Tesla in the United States. Not only that, China's electric vehicle lithium iron phosphate battery production has accounted for 80% of the world, and China is one of the world's largest electric vehicle markets.

US auto industry raised enough barriers for anyone to enter into the US market. While this is good for auto industry itself, it is questionable whether this is good for US consumers or US competitiveness in long run. Meanwhile, US auto makers can keep making ICE cars and ignoring carbon emission goals.

Shenzhen electric buses: +17000 Usa Electric Buses: -500

East Asia dominates 95% of battery production US: Seems like a threat to our national security. **Slaps sanctions

As a Japanese, I feel real pity that Japan has not even been slightly mentioned in the video... We have been seriously behind in most areas of global standardization. I however feel a bit of empathy to "fuel cells" that has long been explored by Toyota. Hydrogen may be too difficult to handle, but if the global R&D investment has been as heavy as that on solid batteries, then the tech might have taken off with methanol.

A marathon runner is getting outrun by their competitor, and demands that competitor to slow down and accuses that competitor of cheating. May the best runner win; if a runner can’t keep up, don’t enter a marathon and expect others to hold themselves back for another competitor.

Another point to add: China has an extensive network of public transportations and high speed rails. People generally do not have the need to drive 2-3 hrs inter-city/province travels for business or for leisure, most of the automobile usage are for daily commutes, which successfully avoided the current shortcomings of EVs (charging time).

Just a small error in the video: China by the end of February 2021 built 827,000 charging stations, not just 500,000 as CNBC mentioned.

I drive about 10 kilometers to work every day, 20 kilometers to and from work, a total of 600 kilometers a month. I only need to add electricity once a month. I rarely travel far away, so if the battery life of an electric car can reach 300-400 kilometers, I don't think it will cause me any trouble.

Interesting to watch this video 10 months after creation. To see Chinese EV automakers pulling even further ahead. The GM Bolt production being completely stopped and all vehicles recalled. Legacy auto is too slow in adoption to realistically catch up.

The problem for me isn’t price (ID 4 is 33k with tax credit) it’s the lack of fast charging stations in my area.

Very smart to standardize all charging plugs regardless of brand.

The US cant even build a high speed rail from LA to Las Vegas 😂, China has thousands of them

Very informative and engaging thank u very much and with this quality of a content, Subs is a must.

China has multiple points on why they sell so much electric cars. 1) they are making cheap as well as expensive EVs. You can basically get an EV for every pocket. 2) incentives. As pointed in the video, they subsidise a lot of the price to help move from the tradicional ICE engines. 3) public transportation. You can move around town, between towns or cross country with planes, trains, metro, electric buses so you dont need a car to travel the 1000 km between destinations.

Lobby is the beautiful word for Bribery, right? 🤔

Where can I buy one..?

Still, EVs have to evolve as Nio did designing vehicles with removable batteries. Changing batteries at "gas stations" would be much quicker and also would ensure: a) to have a battery that has been checked and refurbished during the whole vehicle's life b) to have the last technology product on batteries as the technology improves. Standardization is a must. In Sweden, there is a company that is planning to build a network of this system

I like that $4,400 vehicle. We need it here in Africa, urgently!

China is focused on doing what they promised. The US is focused to protect their ego

US is reluctant to admit the fact that the free market system cannot do everything. There is a role for the government in supporting and catalyzing the adoption of new innovations. In fact, US lead in technology starting in the 1950s owed a large part to government funding in NSF, DARPA etc... but it is politically risky. The other big political obstacle would be the special interests representing traditional fossil energy industry. I think US will get entangled fighting itself while China will keep progressing.

the real problem here is... their engineer is becoming more advance, formal and side road engineering will make all the society smarter in this EV world

We don’t want to beat any country, we just want to surpass yesterday’s self

Cant afford one. For me, that is the issue.

As a Chinese,to support environmental protection, I recently sold my Mercedes. I plan to buy an electric car, and the Chinese brand is really the best choice, better than Tesla.This is not advertising, because there are many brands in China, including high, middle and low grades.And the appearance is very good.

Solid state battery need to be updated with circuit board with capasitors to start the heat and insulation to sustain temp

Why not say "leading in market" instead of "dominating"?

Reason : US lacks the infrastructure and government support for EVs.

China appreciates the fair competition that Tesla gives the local builders. US is definetly the elephant in the room.

I had look my friends Nio& Xpeng's tech, They are absolutely stunning EV, and they understand what Chinese needs in car. eg.: those car has voice command & chat connect to their Wechat apps allows driver voice control the apps like ordering food/movie ticket ,voice msg to different friends without tocuhing the phone...

USA is really good at making super heroes now, Avengers, Justice League etc. Who needs an EV when you can fly

I guess US gov needs to protect their oil companies. As you know, their capitalist are so powerful and so rich, basically the gov works for them. It has nothing to do with democracy or human rights. It is all about money and profit for the top few %.

how are they making the electricity..???

Can you tell me the quality if us and europe car compare to china car

Here in Costa Rica you often see electric cars, most of them being Chinese cars

I was born as raised in china and a university student in Boston but I went back to china since covid broke out. Objectively, I would say in mordernized regions, the life in china is no difference to such life in Boston. We care normal things just as any other people in the world are caring about. Talking about EV, in my hometown, at leasy half of the buses and over half of the taxies are already electric, and since the gov put tax incentive on EV buyers, low-wage workers are always fond of those domestic brand, also considering the low price of energy.

Imagine if China goes all EV and then builds giant solar collectors in the desert. Would be so crazy.

Fossil fuels are also heavily subsidized, and much of the infrastructure development was subsidized. All those gas stations, and pipelines had some degree of government subsidies. EV's like fossil fuel will take decades and heavy subsidies to become mainstream.

Americans binge watch. Chinese binge build.

The US is not asleep at the wheel. We are consciously unconscious.

US was busy in fighting war at wroten places like Afghanistan etc for last 20 years or so and China was developing technology and investing heavily in research and production lines. Minding own business made China ahead of some one who minds everyone's problems except own.

I never thought that when Mr. Peabody said that China will be the future, it’ll actually happen. Well, here we are. Go China!

The US looks like the UK when the US surpassed it when energy went from coal to oil.

The US is really good at identifying problem but really slow in tackling it.

Superb video. Help me a lot understanding China EV market.

"lol quality" the US still has a lot to learn

In China, government policy drives the "free market". In the US, the free market drives government policy.

CHINA say lets go green - We do it NOW US say lets go green - Nah we wait for next election and see

reviewers that have sat in xpeng and nio have said that the interior quality is better than that of tesla, which doesn't have a good reputation of well put together vehicle.

Just have a look at Xiongan New Area its mind boggling future city with full focus on sustainability

I tried xpeng in China, I hope they sell it in us. So good

Petrol / oil companies watching this video: “Hurry up! Lets put job offer up for more lawyers and lobbyists!”

Good explanation. But I think you should ve taken into consideration that the demmad for energy will increase with eletric cars and new wind and solar parks will be constructed, not mentioning, the material for recharge points. That wouldnt pollute more?

A good internal combustions engines is harder to achieve than an electric powered motor.

The oil industry has enormous power and control in America and Australia. Oil and coal fight change.

My next car will be an EV. In a couple of years prices will come down and range will increase as competition increases.

In USA people are attached to the tough and rough car culture where, cars they drive have to be powerful and big.

I have been searching for a good broker to trade with! Please sir how can I find one??

Man. I wish I could get a new car for $4,400 hahaha

India: Meanwhile we fight on petrol prices, you go ahead!!

How do they generate the electric though? Where does the electricity come from?

It’s to cold In Wisconsin for ev. My friends with Ev say the battery sucks all winter

Why is the US always concerned in comparing and competition with a need to WIN attitude against China? The US chooses to pour all it's resources and secure it's win in the military industry sector. It has done so well that the next seven countries combined can't compete with the United States! You can at least feel good for that. 👍

I think the problem is that ev's in the USA are mostly geared/advertised to wealthy individuals. It's almost like a status symbol. If you drive an electric vehicle you most likely were able to afford it without heavily impacting your annual income.

Amazing and Great... Interesting

Ruihua is a professional and experienced EV charger manufacturer, specialized in AC charger, DC charger and Split Type DC fast chargers since 2006.

Definitely china has been the best in the market of production and as well as investing in profitable businesses

Americans: How come we don't have flying cars by now?! Also Americans: Wait, no gas cars? Are you crazy? What will happen to all the Oil and jobs!?

For EV cars, BYD han model sells pretty well in China and its battery quality and driving experience, max driving range 100km acceleration speed, decoration is better than Tesla model 3 and for sure, it is expansive than model 3. Just try BYD Han in USA and you will find a different world .

Japanese manufactures are also converting from gasoline to electric. In densely populated areas, infrastructures like EV and high speed rails have higher efficiency.

US is coming up with new EVs but all of them are super expensive like 80k-100k range.... In China most of EVs are normal looking cars costing 20-30k. Edit : I was talking about newly coming cars from Hummer and Rivian, Tesla do provide relatively affordable options from 35-55k.

I tried the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, it is good car for the price, convenient and efficient

Of course, any country could dominate the U.S. with smaller and more efficient vehicles, EV or otherwise. Where I live in NYC, people seem to enjoy driving oversized gas guzzlers. I suppose they equate vehicle size with wealth and they need to impress other people/friends/women/neighbors, etc. Also, the more powerful the vehicle, the faster they can get from traffic light to traffic light. I have neighbors who drive fairly large SUVs and there's usually only the driver in them. There's also this weird trend for white-collar employees to drive pickup trucks without having any payloads. Go figure. I can't imagine any of those people buying smaller EVs unless the government forced them to. I'm 73 and I get around on my two bikes and a dual-motor electric scooter. I also have my senior transportation pass. I could easily afford some high-end vehicle but I like the exercise although the roads in NYC are in horrible condition. Still, I can easily food shop at local stores. Being retired, I simply don't need to own a car anymore. If an EV the size of a smart car was available with a true range of 100 miles, I might consider it but I still don't even need that. Anyway, I suppose real men have to drive large and expensive vehicles to make themselves feel they're living the good life. Me, I enjoy riding my bike for miles and that makes me feel I'm living the good life.

We need better battery technology -- like aluminum batteries and solid state batteries -- and we need better charging infrastructure, especially for all those city people that park on the street and don't have home access to charging. And quite honestly, a lot of people would be much better served by electric rail or by electric trolleybuses (the kind that have rubber tires but draw power most of the time off an overhead cable) than by car ownership.

US has become the country of “no we can’t”. This country used to charge ahead on innovative ideas.

The way Tesla, an American company doing superb business in China, it shows that there is always a scope of cooperation between the 2 superpowers. War is never a solution, only peace and mutual cooperation is a way for humankind.

Most home AC outlets in Asia are on 220v. Super convenient for everyone to get level 2 charging.

How can I to buy this electric car in the US ?

In Canada there are no electric cars that you can drive out the door for less that $44,000. Also variety is severely limited.

What do you mean by "dominate"? They just happen to make and sell more of them at the moment. What's with this US anxiety about being beaten or controlled all the time.

How fast can these cars drive?...Long range how much distance until battery fails? What about electric buses, vans, etc?

The life cycle costs are going to be critical. Reduced servicing, lower running costs, convenience from refuelling at home are being set against the unknown of battery degradation.

the key to dominate the EV market is to build small, affordable EVs for everyday use. Most people use their cars to commute between home and workplace. Such cars don't need huge and expensive batteries, and can be charged rapidly even with low power chargers.

We need another “Sputnik” moment in the USA. We were behind USSR with the space exploration in the early 1960s, but USA leadership woke up and started investing in science, education and massive innovation. Chinese child would like to become an engineer and maybe an American child aspires to become a UKpostsr.

"What we haven't seen is organic growth outside of incentives" Well, how should there be organic growth, with all car manufacturers refusing to make an EV? Where I live, in Switzerland, we have seen slow but steady growth in demand for EVs over the past 20 years. The more practical and the less expensive EV's got, the more demand they generated. Currently, BEVs have a market share of 9%, without virtually any incentives at all. I call that organic demand. After a long phase of slow but steady growth, BEV market share has doubled every year for the past 3 to 4 years. The same happened in other European countries. However, in recent years these countries started dealing out up to 10'000 Euro cash to people who bought an EV, to speed up the transition. That's obviously foolish, but due to that, in Germany for instance EVs now have a higher market share than in Switzerland. But the trend was the same in much of Europe, incentives just sped up the process. The reason for EV adoption to pick up is primarily the availability of a range of appealing models for that specific market. In the European market there are now a few dozen models from a dozen European manufacturers plus four from Korea, two or three from Japan and two from Tesla. There's a similar situation in China. In America OTOH, there's basically only Tesla, and that's not enough to create demand.

I came here to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.

Not just China, pretty much the whole world is beating US in the Automotive Industry.

I don't think it matters much whether one country or region is beating another, what really matters is getting more EVs out there in general, making them more affordable, providing the necessary infrastructure to ensure ease of use and widespread adoption, and, ultimately, the complete phaseout of ICE vehicles. This needs to happen *everywhere*, and it needs to happen fast.

My trading journey was a matriculation of highs and lows, literally just like the market. you up, you down. Now I'm constantly up

Subsidies won’t be needed in the U.S. once parity is reached on price. It’s all about the $$$. When Americans can buy an electric vehicle for the same price or cheaper than a petroleum powered version of the same product you’ll see them take off. We’d all love to not be buying gasoline anymore or dealing with petroleum companies randomly jacking up the price of their product. Another issue here is also availability. Tesla dealerships are few and far between. Once things reach the point where you can go to any dealership and find a wide range of EV’s to choose from that will also speed things up. What that also does is ease concerns about not being able to easily have your EV serviced if need be.
