>It took Tesla to get EVs going in the US.
Tesla also helped shape the Chinese EV industry the same way how the first iPhone shaped all the other smartphone platforms.

Perhaps investigate the trajectory of battery manufacturers like CATL which were independent of Tesla. For example in the 2010s in Shenzhen they increasingly switched to electric two-wheelers (in part due to historical bans on petrol powered motorbikes).
