China emits a third of the world's CO2, uses the world's dirtiest coal and most backward regulations in its manufacture practices. It then exports these finished so called 'green' goods that would have been far greener if they had been manufactured anywhere else. Some estimates put the intensive output of CO2 in Chinese electric vehicles and related materials manufacture so high it would take ten years of use to cut even with that CO2 produced in a Chinese EV, anyway yet many such cars won't even have a ten year lifespan. By contrast, a hydrogen car produced outside China under better regulations would be a much 'greener' choice. * PoohTube, end your down-vote system, allowing CCP regime lackies too much negative input on your platform.

I think in a way it's still geography. Very few places in the world is commercially viable to mine and refine lithium, nickel, cobalt and rare-earth metals. Comparatively, oil reserves are actually far more spread out in the world. Both the world's largest production of lithium and rare-earth metals are located in China, and now with the world's largest production capacity for batteries, they basically got everyone in the world by the balls if EVs become the primary mode of transportation.

In China the government rolled out red carpet to give preferential treatment for Tesla to build a Giga EV factory in Shanghai. The government removed all road blocks to allow Tesla to build a Giga Factory in less than a year while giving Tesla all the incentives and subsidies enjoyed by any other Chinese EV makers. This happened when China's EV Industry was relatively quite weak. But Beijing was not shying away from American competition. Today, half of esla's global EV revenue comes from the Shanghai Factory. Now in the US, they are doing everything they can to block anything from China! Dsicounting the incredible amount of profit Tesla has made for the past 10 years from the support from China! Where is the spirit of free market competition which is one of America's core values? The distinctly difference in behaviors of the two superpowers have not been lost in the eyes of the rest of the world. The US is showing classic signs of the decline of a once great country where free market capitalism roamed free. Now it is grabbing at the straw.

At this rate, China will dominate vehicles and batteries by 2030. The EU, US, Japan are too slow because they want to protect the interest of the old, ageing companies of decades ago.

[@jasonf.9862]

Chjna should stop the need to try and be the best at everything. China's success has only been for the last 20-30 years. I applaud their success, but much of it is inflated by the CCP. All their stare released numbers are totally false. Just like they claim to be the world leader in Green Tech, while polluting more than every other country put together. It's a smokescreen to pump up sales and boy do they need sales. If China continues on this CCP course, their future is more grim than their present.

I think EV’s are cool but gas is cheap and I don’t see any difference. If the car gets from point A to point B, then it’s good. Also it’s not good for the planet if the energy comes from coal…

[@zodiacfml]

​@@seriessplayer62747 Yes, there are decade and decades old vehicles on the road. When it comes to new car passenger sales in 2030 or further, most will be EVs. It is no different than most product technology replacing previous tech, albeit, transportation is decades long transition

[@carinatao9974]

Note: China has stopped all subsidies since Jan 2023, because the EV market is already mature and competitive enough (Fierce competition in domestic market cross dozens of brands). The EU keeps targeting China about subsidies, which is not fair (cuz they have been doing more heavily subsidies 😂, check France)

[@doujinflip]

Also because there's a glut of EVs that China is trying to dump abroad before their not so stellar build quality as cars catches up to their brand reputation. Domestic consumers aren't snatching them up as quickly anymore because their consumer confidence cratered on top of issues like lack of working chargers and legal parking spots.

Yeah, you are spot on. To add, the EU heavily subsidises its agriculture sector and make its produce very competitive in the African market, which resulted in challenges to small scale African farmers. However when China subsidises its EV industry at its nascent phase, EU bureaucrats cry foul. What EU does not say out loud is that they are desperate to protect their internal combustion engine vehicles industry supply chain, although they always exhort all kinds of climate change rhetoric.

The Chinese also dominate in the manufacturing of cathode and anode materials. They supply 90% of the cathode and 70% of the anode materials. These are vital in the manufacturing of the EV batteries.

Lithium conversion process requires economy of scale to be efficient and profitable and it’s not environmental friendly, hence the reason why it moved to China, the dirty factory for the west. As China grows economy and no longer need to trade environment for income, there is a movement toward sodium ion battery which is more abundant, cheaper, longer life and environmentally friendlier than lithium. Both BYD and CATL have started producing sodium ion battery and BYD just rolls out Seagull, a small entry level EV, with sodium ion battery option. Dongfeng also pioneered similar offering. The importance of lithium may become like dependency on coal, decreases as technology advances.

When USA "destroyed" Huawei's high end smart phones business using the security risks lies, Huawei switched to concentrate R&D on EV's controllers hardwares and softwares, producing cutting edge products that only needs legacy microchips of 14 to 28 nM nodes and uses its own Harmony OS. Many Chinese EVs adopted this Huawei's control packages. Not easy for other non China's EVs to beat Huawei leading position.

There are also pieces where other's complain they are too pro China. Even in this piece, you can see there are some that says we are pro China. If you have people complaining on both sides almost equally ( it's almost impossible to be equal all the time), I think we are ok.

Success in producing the best batteries requires hard work, innovation, facing environmental and industrial problems. China had gone through all these so also if US wants to compete, she has to accept these sacrifices and not dump on others.

[@johngordon1175]

Not all batteries with potential can be used, the technology has to be economically feasible.

why did you question china's domination in the battery industry? why do you never question US dominance in printing money causing world economic crisis? Bias

@@vtuldague5468 Learn world economics man. US prints $$ which must be accepted around the world else you know what happened to Saddam and Gaddafi. US prints $$ and wold has to accept which means they donot have to sell anything to get $$. Other countries have to sell either goods or give service to get $$$ as $$ is the world reserve currency. India prints indian rupees which they cannot use to buy goods from around the world. So learn first, you are at elementary school regarding world financial system.

Recently, China bans graphite in retaliation of US enhanced chip ban. For any country wanting to make battery, it needs a few years to manufacture graphite for their batteries, however for neodymium and praseodymium , it could take them 5-10 years to research, process and enrich these rare earth for their magnets.

The USA never removed the tariffs from the first "battle". It wasn't a battle. It was the fact that LFP cells had just hit the scene. There was a free trade agreement between countries in ASEAN territory and China... when I was there I saw on Alibaba... packs of four 100ah 3.6v cells for around $120. Meanwhile they were selling in the US complete units with that capacity that also included the BMI and the surge protectors etc and the other components and they were like $1500. They still are. The root cost of the components of those prebuilt units is only about $200. The US destructively blocking it and forcing people to pay way too much for that stuff. It's not a trade war... It's the US fossil fuel knuckle draggers coercing the government to sabotage the imports of the components of the modern electrification push with mammoth mountain tariffs. USA doesn't manufacture any of those components China does.

Australian consumers could by a Chinese EV for under A$40k or just about USD26k with 7-year unlimited miles warranty and 5-year free roadside assistance. US consumers have to pay much more for a lesser product due to protectionism and anti-China policy of the government (in the name of what a BS National Security).
