There are several problems considering batteries: How to get affordable parts for repairs? How to insurance EV in the future? Where to park EV? EV:s are subsidied, but new batteries aren't. It would be more affordable to buy a new car than change batteries. Therefore used EV:s are worthless. The quality of Chinese batteries insulation is poor. Batteries will burn in crashes or even when you are charging them. Unlike petrol fire, battery fire is impossible to put off and will burn everything and even wounded people inside the car. Insurance costs will be very expensive and there will be restrictions where EV:s are even allowed to drive. Chinese EV:s are cheap, because making them poisons environment. Using western petrol cars would be better for environment than using Chinese batteries. This is the big white elephant everyone is pretending not to see.

China regulation on products/companies is half political in nature and half driven by strategic goals. They let Toyota/Honda in years ago to absorb ICE technology but they no longer care because they are the ones driving the front on EV. Anyone who has basic understanding of ICE vs EV knows it's drastically different. It's an obvious conclusion by looking at how Tesla is driving legacy makers out of business because legacy makers can't easily convert from ICE to EV. It's almost a totally different ball game. Amateur uneducated commenters are always acting like legacy makers can easily bridge the gap between ICE and EV. It's not that easy. The reality is, Chinese government wanted their own industry to be competitive so they let Tesla in. Tesla basically bankrupted some of the EV startups in China and it was designed that way to weed out the weaker players. Now the ones that survived like BYD are making very competitive vehicles. Again, here is where amateur uneducated commenters keep flowing in and trying to bash the Chinese EV the same way they bashed Toyota in 70's and Hyundai in 90's.

those are two different things, but yes it's both called a subsidy. the thing how you got a discount is when a government (or another entity) wants to encourage something and offers the people money back when they do what is encouraged. the thing that is against trade rules and what china does is having companies sell their products on the international market for prices below the costs of making it, and then the chinese state pays those companies so those companies still make a profit. in the long term this isn't sustainable, but the idea behind it is to destroy competitors abroad and take over their market share, and once you have a monopoly you can raise the prices and you don't need those state subsidies anymore

Teslas are the safest cars in the world, according to crash tests in the US and Europe. They also have the best tech by far. Even the cars themselves are torn down by Chinese companies and meticulously copied. Every new innovation that Tesla does (no other company innovates much) is copied as quickly as possible by the Chinese.

"Chinese intelligence and hardworking culture" - Do you really think that China became the manufacturer of the world because of brilliant domestic engineers? 😂 China became the sweatshop of the world because of intellectual property theft from the western companies outsourcing to China and forcing those companies to partner with local Chinese in joint ventures. I can admit that the western companies coming to China were too naive to believe China would move towards democracy, and probably too focused on short term profits, to take the threat seriously. So in one way they can only blame themselves... The answer to your question of where do all the money that China has poured into its auto/EV industry are coming from, the answer is taxes and corruption. China is a communist dictatorship, and the state controls everything and everyone, so they don't care about if half a billion people in the west of the country barely survives as long as they accomplish the goals of the top leader, for example to build an EV industry of scale in the east. No one can vote them away anyways, and the only route to career is to follow orders without own thinking so in one way it's efficient... That means they can make long term plans too where no time is wasted on endless debating, whereas western decision-makers are much more shortsighted in their efforts to please the masses with populist policies etc.

[@luckyh1217]

I am from China, actually the subsidies ended in 2023, now the gov only subsidize the local customers who buy EV, not the enterprise. For new energy passenger vehicles with a purchase price below 150000 yuan, the subsidy amount is 10% of the purchase price. For new energy passenger vehicles with a purchase price between 150000 yuan and 300000 yuan, the subsidy amount is 8% of the purchase price. For new energy passenger vehicles with a purchase price of over 300000 yuan, the subsidy amount is 6% of the purchase price. This adjustment enables the subsidy policy to more accurately cover different price ranges of car models, meeting the purchasing needs of different consumers. In addition, the subsidy policy for new energy vehicles in 2024 also clarifies the subsidy targets, time frame, and application process, injecting new impetus into the new energy vehicle market. The subsidy is limited to consumers who purchase new energy passenger cars (excluding second-hand cars) during 2024. At the same time, the policy also stipulates that car buyers must obtain a unified invoice for motor vehicle sales and a motor vehicle driving license within the prescribed time, and promptly handle procedures such as obtaining a motor vehicle registration certificate and vehicle registration to ensure the standardization of the car purchase process and the rights and interests of car buyers. In addition, the subsidy policy for new energy vehicles in 2024 also includes preferential policies for exemption from purchase tax. From January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025, consumers who purchase new energy vehicles will enjoy the treatment of exemption from vehicle purchase tax. The maximum tax-free limit for each new energy passenger vehicle is 30000 RMB. This policy will effectively reduce the burden of purchasing cars for consumers and enhance the market competitiveness of new energy vehicles. In summary, electric vehicle companies will still enjoy financial subsidies in 2024, and the subsidy policies will be more refined to stimulate the market and promote industrial upgrading.

[@badbad-cat]

​@@tooltalk Nope, China simply became competitive and the European colonial period became over. Simple

[@tooltalk]

@@badbad-cat is this part of the CCP's Century of Humiliation's playbook? China became competitive by banning foreign EV battery competitors; then forcing all EV OEMs to switch to local battery suppliers; then dominate the battery supply-chain since 2015.

[@skierpage]

Five years ago Western car makers reassured investors "We won't be left behind in EVs! We'll be a major player," and came out with $45,000+ crossovers. But they and their crummy dealers never really sold customers on the benefits of an EV because they still have showrooms full of gassers to sell. Now that their competition is making $30,000 and under EVs, they're crying that it's hard.

Im glad to see that china are fight back too against the western hypocracy.

Everything is possible but we're here

[@mistervo8185]

I don't care how you do it but make CHEAPER CARS! It's simple , if your car is cheaper than your competitors, you win.

[@PatrickRockwell24]

Capitalism is a sham. The EU and the US are blocking the better competitor.

[@tooltalk]

It's cheaper because it's subsidized. duh~ We don't allow gov't subsidies to build overcapacity to outcompete foreign competitors.

[@Dumbledore6969x]

Found the Chinese bot

[@faithkerubo8357]

​@@tooltalkalso...expenses are lower because it's not a rich country eg they pay lower wages,lower electricity costs etc...eg wedding dresses....I'm Kenyan...in my country,locally made(from tailors hence custom)can cost you $50...but imported wedding dresses can cost upto $1000...even without subsidies,chinese cars would still be cheaper as compared to European cars

[@tooltalk]

@@faithkerubo8357 Let's not forget that China's fossile fuel subsidies which allow cheaper electricity and overcapacity, which according to IMF's recent figure (for year 2022): $270B. That's about 90x greater than the US's $3B during the same period.

[@jmesa951]

Free market... Only if I have the advantage

[@MultiMenvafan]

36% wont stop EVs. But once German exports to China are dead, which is happening, nothing will stop tariffs going higher because the leverage is gone.

[@albertkim1809]

Western manufacturing is just embarrassing...

[@williamwatitwa3534]

Global trade: that was easy to say when we were winning ,doesn't work when others are winning

[@v.tantov.14v]

exactly they western overcapacity hypocrisy😂

[@kevinjin9105]

Tesla "received about $426 million from the Chinese government for the cars it manufactured at its Shanghai facility", according to InsideEVs.

[@cutehumor]

I thought climate change was an existential crisis!! I guess in Europe money comes first 😂

[@david50665]

it seems now they believe somehow china is a bigger existential threat for selling cheap EVs...it seems the earth temperature rising another couple degrees no longer worries them

[@andilemtshe9063]

It was all along a scam

[@cosmoobserver3416]

The biggest advantage of Chinese EVs is technology, but Europeans just refuse to acknowledge this plain fact.

[@NaliniS-y2v]

Is this an news or an ad for the European companies in CNBC😂😂

[@duancoviero9759]

Yes this is an Ad of sorts, what they want you to take away from this is that Europe is the "good guy" following the rules and China is the "bad guy" not following the rules white men have set up.

[@v.tantov.14v]

exactly the western overcapacity hypocrisy😂

[@raymonddon8875]

no one cant stop people from buying low priced cars.

[@TwinCondorsAndLittleRedHorse]

Every country in the world subsidizes or incentivizes their companies, one way or another. China didn't 'change the rules' of trade as this Filipe Munoz said alleged at 0:50, China simply started exporting cars, and the so-called 'rules' is actually this: "Hey you are not supposed to be exporting the things that we Europeans export".

[@JacobAAllen]

It seems like the EU does not want EVs. They’re like we can’t compete with their cheap cars that are good so we will make them 46% more expensive.

[@JAMM264]

Same with America and GM rn. It’s ridiculous

[@tednguyen7258]

they will make u pay for there stupidity

[@freespeech8520]

What do you call the U.S. EV incentives? How's that different from subsidies?

[@ashokathegreat4534]

From North India…I have Japanese car now but will buy Chinese as next for me and wife. No western. Proud Asian

[@TurdBoi666]

☝🏻🤓

[@Ameng3471]

What happened to green technology environment friendly and climate change rhetoric gone? Is it wrong for china also helping the worlds recovery from climate change?

[@yaoypl]

Tiarff this and Tiarff that. Nobody talks about what the average customer wants.

[@rap3208]

The average shouldn't want tariffs. tariffs mean the importer has to pay double (with 100% tariff) and passes this cost along to the customer which will mean the customer ends up the loser. Tariffs are taxes for the consumer, not the supplier.

[@metalvideos1961]

Tariff*

[@howbe259]

The most innovative and efficient companies should win.

[@VickyYadav-qj6kv]

When u dominate this markets with no competition it's good when things turn around change the rule😂😂 Hypocrite west don't lecture us

[@v.tantov.14v]

exactly,,, 🤣

[@eyip8697]

All countries freely subsidized their car industries. You always make bias report

[@imanmanimanman7667]

Di Malaysia kereta2 EV daripada mana2 negara tidak dikenakan cukai bebas cukai 100% demi alam sekitar.

[@Rogelio_Inzunza]

The US “exports” its subsidized weaponry on other countries. Why isn’t that type of *dumping* free of tariffs?

[@bluettr250]

We tarrifed the heck out of Japan on vehicles. Guess what we got? The f150, the gmc 1500 and a ginormous Tacoma. We cannot legally get small trucks. So in essence we taxed other countries into us building the great murderer of kids and adults. ‘Merica!

[@shutinalley]

I don't understand what the problem is. We need a better system of travel. What we've been using since 1922 is ridiculous.
