“The rise of the Chinese EV industry has been enabled not only by generous government subsidies but also by profound changes in strategy and organization, and in particular by a distinctive revival of vertical integration—at both individual firm and national levels. The approach is perfectly exemplified by BYD, which has sought to bring virtually all aspects of the value chain under its control.”

Carmakers say that the American public can't afford electric SUVs.
But won't sell smaller affordable EVs.

Still .

"Under the revised final regulation expected to be made public as soon as next month, the EPA will slow the pace of its proposed yearly requirements through 2030. The new pace is expected to result in accounting for less than 60% of total vehicles produced by 2030, the sources said."

"At $US15,000, ’s new EV is already being touted as a “Corolla killer”, as the world’s second largest EV maker continues to disrupt the global auto market."

It's perhaps less a killer than a successor: The Toyota Corolla (and the Honda Civic) showed up among the lumbering American 1970s road boats the way Indonesian spices finally brought some taste to Dutch food in the 1600s.

Smol Chinese EVs will be disruptive like that.
