What next? Electric aircraft?
It’s difficult to get a lead on companies with entrenched mature technology like ICE cars, but new technology, with new logistics levels entry.
A caveat in that I’m not an expert on any of this just an arm chair pundit mainlining YouTube videos.
Aircraft is a huge market with Boeing seemingly throwing away its position, Airbus unable to expand much more.
Still electric aircraft aren’t physically viable, but should the engineering progress then Chinese industries would be able spawn a viable industry.

Some of the recent battery announcements have specified aircraft as the target market: "CATL launches condensed battery with an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg, enables electrification of passenger aircrafts" https://www.catl.com/en/news/6015.html https://www.catl.com/en/news/6015.html
