Electric Vehicles? Chinese firms are crushing that market. They're well positioned to own the medium-term future of cars and similar vehicles.
- torginus 1y agoNo they are not, the only Western market I could find where they have significant penetration is in Australia. Places like the UK have no tariffs on Chinese EVs, and no domestic industry to protect, yet Chinese cars are barely in the top 10.
- SideburnsOfDoom 1y agoYou're mistaking "on top now" for "well positioned to be on top in the medium-term future". They're not the same.
- triceratops 1y agoI hadn't heard of any Chinese EVs as recently as 3 years ago. That they're already in the top 10 in the West is incredible.
