However, a surprise LNG permit “pause” from the Biden Administration followed a few days later by Saudi's announcement it would “pause” its planned oil capacity expansion has led to a change in publishing plans!We wrote a seven-part tweet/post on Twitter-X over the weekend (here) that has now garnered a mind-boggling 120,000 views, well above our typical 1,000-4,000 views per tweet/post. Key points: (1) there is no such thing as an “Industry” view on the “pause,” it essentially depends on whether a company, industry, or country is long or short natural gas; (2) the potential impact on Europe has been both over-analyzed and overstated; (3) the implications for developing Asia have been under-appreciated; (4) competitor countries are undoubtedly rejoicing over the news; (5) big versus small government is a basic viewpoint difference in how to address energy & environmental policy; (6) climate implications are more complex than the simple debate of LNG is higher-carbon than renewables versus lower carbon than coal. We address the Saudi capacity expansion pause from the perspective of the recent Saudi oil policy that has focused primarily on the front-end of the curve. Is this a shift to focusing on long-dated oil? As a reminder, both the Biden LNG permit and Saudi capacity expansion pauses are consistent with our “Super Vol” rather than “super-cycle” commodity macro framework. Policy rhetoric and actions, frankly, can be as meaningful as underlying supply/demand, especially over the near-to-medium term.Finally, we observe signs that we are past “peak Tesla,” especially when considered alongside clear evidence of electric vehicle (EV)-or-bust fatigue among car buyers and many traditional auto manufactures. China's EV ramp continues, more or less unabated, and we believe is highly motivated by a desire to limit growth in oil imports. We do not believe there is a singular EV adoption “S-curve” for all regions. China will be different than the USA, which will be different than India, the rest of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. We continue to believe there is not a decade, let alone year, when we KNOW oil demand will peak, even as we expect continued growth in many new energy technologies including EVs.
Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereIn this podcast episode, Jan Griffiths tackles a crucial question: Are Chinese OEMs ready to take over the global automotive stage, possibly replacing legacy automakers? In the quest for answers, Jan sits down with Tu Le, Founder of Sino Auto Insights. He brings his experience as a seasoned tech and auto professional with a rich background spanning Ford, General Motors, and Apple.The conversation started with the current state of the automotive market in China — China's electric vehicle boom and the rise of Chinese automakers globally, with BYD surpassing a legacy OEM in sales. The talk then extends to the worldwide impact of China's EV exports and BYD's strategies for the US and Europe, with Tu identifying key factors contributing to the success of Chinese OEMs— visionary leadership, vertical integration, and a focus on innovation and scale. He also revealed the challenges for legacy automakers facing the evolving auto scene, emphasizing the necessity of cultural change for digital transformation.Talking about traits leaders need in major OEMs, Tu advocates for decisiveness, a willingness to hire more competent individuals, and having a global perspective. He urges leaders to be visionaries who consider the evolving needs of consumers worldwide. The conversation concludes with Tu advising leaders to right-size their businesses, reduce dependency on legacy OEMs, and invest heavily in talent and future opportunities, especially in software-driven aspects. The advice also extends to exploring global markets, understanding regional driving trends, and considering the growing EV revolution.Themes discussed in this episode:Auto industry dynamics and global market perspectivesChinese dominance in the worldwide marketCultural transformation in the auto industryAutomotive transformation, OEM challenges, and disruptionsICE (Internal combustion engine) to BEV (Battery electric vehicle) The role of software in the automotive futureDiversification for Tier One SuppliersThe importance of customer experience and being customer-focusedFeatured: Tu Le What he does: Tu Le, Founder and Managing Director of Sino Auto Insights, is a driven entrepreneur dedicated to transforming transportation. He's led the firm to impressive growth, specializing in mobility and transportation consultancy. Tu is a recognized expert, often featured in major media, and co-organizer of the MOBILIT/E Conference, a key event in the global mobility space. His goal is to simplify and enhance how people and goods move, emphasizing innovation and accessibility. On leadership: “Leadership traits [OEMs for the future] I think that they are decisive. They also hire people on their teams that are smarter than they are. So, they don't have that typical ego of a CEO. I think it's important to be very confident and decisive because the automotive sector is not going to be a high-tech space. It'll become this individually distinct new sector that has elements of manufacturing and elements of customer engagement service. You have to have a really diverse understanding of how the world works.”Mentioned in this episode:NEV (New Energy Vehicle)

You can find their just released 2024 ranking in this post titled The Global 100 list: How the world's most sustainable corporations are driving the green transition. The introduction is by Shawn McCarthy and posted on corporateknights.com. Here are some quotes. “Now in its 20th year, Corporate Knights' Global 100 ranking of the world's most sustainable companies reveals the top firms that are increasing their investments in green solutions such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and the circular economy. ‘When we launched the Global 100 in 2005, the green economy was a quaint idea. Many companies didn't publish in-house sustainability reports. There were no standardized key performance indicators, and none of the companies were reporting the percentage of their revenue or investments that were green,' says Corporate Knights co-founder and CEO Toby Heaps… In the 2024 Global 100 ranking, the top-ranked firms allocated 55% of their investments to sustainable projects, up from 47% the year prior. That compares with sustainable investments at a paltry 17% among the broader universe of publicly traded companies with more than US$1 billion in annual revenue… The 2024 Global 100 companies earned 51% of their revenues from sustainable sources in the fiscal year 2022, up from 50% the prior year. That compares with just 16% for the broader universe of companies… Top Companies Two Australian companies, Sims Ltd. (SMSMY) and Brambles Ltd. (BMBLF) top the 2024 ranking. Sims, this year's number one company, recycles scrap metal in 30 countries, and Brambles rents reusable pallets and containers around the globe. Both companies score 100% on sustainable revenue and sustainable investment… The Global 100 also awarded a ‘pivot prize' to Italian energy firm ERG SpA (ER9.BE), which completed its multiyear transition from black to green halfway through 2023… The Global 100 rates companies in 38 industry groups… based on 25 metrics. It applies different weighting to certain metrics given the nature of the sector. Sustainable revenue and sustainable investment are key measures… The Global 100 score far better on overall environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics than do their peers. For example, 79% of Global 100 firms had sustainability-linked pay; only 30% of the broader corporate universe linked executive pay to the achievement of environmental or social sustainability targets… Between February 1, 2005, and December 15, 2023, the Global 100 saw a return of 287% on a U.S. dollar basis, while the MSCI ACWI had a return of 272%. The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index posted a return of 254% over that period.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Franklin Templeton Positive On Green, Social Bonds In 2024 This second article features a green bond fund by a firm who was one of the pioneers in mutual funds. The article is titled Franklin Templeton Positive On Green, Social Bonds In 2024. It's by Amanda Cheesley and found wealthbriefing.com. Now some quotes from Ms. Cheesley. “David Zahn, head of European fixed income at Franklin Templeton, believes that sustainable investing will be a dominant investment trend, with structural tailwinds that could help improve financial returns… Zahn thinks that green and social bonds, which are typically issued to fund longer-term projects, are a good source of longer-duration investments… Zahn also believes that an expanding and increasingly diverse sustainable finance market means that attractive returns can go hand in hand with a positive impact on the environment and our communities… Zahn manages the Franklin Sustainable Euro Green Bond UCITS ETF (FLRG:SWX:EUR) which aims to provide exposure to the European green bond market whilst maximising total returns. It… invests mainly in bonds that are labelled green and denominated in European currencies. The fund… has outperformed the index over a three to five-year period.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top 10: Wind Power Companies Now this next article has an interesting ranking of the top global wind companies.

Here's an article on that sector by Dmytro Spilka and found on investorplace.com. It's titled 3 EV Stocks Cementing Their Status as Top Long-Term Market Picks. Here are some quotes by Mr. Spilka on his picks. “1. Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) At the core of Li's strong year was an astonishing 182.2% total deliveries growth to 376,030. Cumulative deliveries surpassed 600,000 vehicles. This makes the firm the most prolific among China's emerging new energy automakers. With the upcoming launch of Li MEGA, the firm's flagship new MPV set to roll out in February 2024, the firm appears to be leading the charge to become China's EV market leader. Li Auto's recently announced partnership with semiconductor giant Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) will see Nvidia's DRIVE Thor centralized car computer power Li's future EV fleets. 2. Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) has endured a fairly torrid time on Wall Street since its debut in late 2021… The news that the auto manufacturer will be supplying its vehicles for AT&T's (NYSE:T) fleet represents a significant coup for the firm… In perhaps its biggest statement of intent, Rivian produced 17,541 vehicles in Q4 alone… Rivian's management has boldly predicted that the firm will begin turning gross profit positive, making Rivian a solid pick for investors with a long-term outlook. 3. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Tesla… deliveries in Q4 alone hit a total of 484,507. On top of this, the highly anticipated launch of the Cybertruck has helped to keep the stock in the spotlight. Tesla's commitment to autonomous driving is likely to ensure that it stays at the forefront of innovation… One of the stock's biggest supporters is Cathie Wood, CEO and CIO of Ark Invest (ARKK)… Wood claimed that Tesla stock could reach the $4,600 mark. That would be a price target of $1,533.33 when adjusted for the split.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Top 3 Stocks to Benefit from Next-Gen Energy Solutions My final article for this episode is titled The Top 3 Stocks to Benefit from Next-Gen Energy Solutions. It's by Steve Booyens and also found on investorplace,com. Due to limited space I'm just quoting Mr. Booyens briefly. “1. Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners (NYSE:BEP) A company with diversified renewable energy exposure with significant scale in store. 2. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) Economies of scale and continuous capacity sequencing place First Solar best-in-class. 3. Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:ENPH) A buy-the-dip opportunity highly touted by Wells Fargo.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order. 1.

NIO Inc.'s recent earnings report delivered assorted results. While earnings did not meet expectations with an EPS of $-2.28 against anticipated $-0.43, the company enjoyed a few successes as well. A standout in their report was a surge in total revenues for the third quarter: a 46.6% increase compared to the same period last year and a notable 117.4% increase quarter-over-quarter. In addition to these financial developments, the EV maker managed to increase vehicle deliveries impressively by 75.4%, adding up to a total vehicle delivery of 55,432 over the year. The company's ongoing efforts have firmly established NIO as a leader in China's EV segment, reportedly holding over 45% market share. One factor in their financial shortcoming may be due to their aggressive innovation and expansion activities. However, these same endeavors have led to commendable achievements such as improving vehicle revenues, total revenues, and vehicle margin on a year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter basis. The company attributes these upsides to efficient economies of scale and a decrease in parts costs. Looking beyond the numbers, NIO's commitment to growth is evident in several areas. Their comprehensive product line-up for the NT2 platform, sophisticated power swap network for battery swapping, and the integration of NLP+ for enhancing driving intelligence are testaments to this. Further proof of their growth efforts is seen in efforts to expand their sales and service networks, as well as their charging and swapping infrastructure. Focusing on the future, NIO has shared plans to carry on with their self-strategies and improve operational efficiency. Substantial investments are in line for advancing their core technologies, strengthening sales and service capabilities, and releasing a new flagship model at the next NIO Day. Perhaps most interesting is their intention to expand their power swap network wherein they aim to engage partners for asset ownership. This move will support plans to consider in-house manufacturing operations. Aligning with recent acquisitions, this approach reinforces NIO's goals to not just grow, but to also reduce costs and improve efficiency. It's important to note that the highlighted achievements and future plans discussed here are based solely on what NIO Inc. has reported on their earnings call and disclosed to investors.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Israel and Hamas agree to cease-fire in exchange for hostage releaseSummary: Representatives from the Israeli government and Hamas have announced an agreement that will include the release of 50 Israeli hostages, from a total of around 240 they captured during a sneak-attack on Israel on October 7, the release of 150 Palestinian women and young people under the age of 19 held in Israeli jails, and a ceasefire that will last four days, allowing the exchange of those held by both sides to occur.Context: Some of the legal details of this agreement are still being worked out by officials on either side, but in its current form it includes limits on fly-overs, opportunities for humanitarian aid to be brought into Gaza by outside organizations, and paths through which civilians should be able to safely evacuate northern Gaza to the south; all that said, there's still a great deal of animus on both sides of this conflict, and while US and Qatari officials have been working hard (alongside representatives from other nations) to convince Israeli and Hamas officials to come to some kind of workable accord, there's still a chance something will go wrong during its implementation, so everyone's watching to see how this plays out with some sense of hope that it might lead to a more long-lasting ceasefire or even, eventually, a peace agreement, but also a fair bit of trepidation that it will end before it has the chance to really get going.—The New York TimesOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, Dimitrios and I talk about China's dominance in EVs and the prospects for M&S…
China has become a world leader in making and buying Electric Vehicles (EV), somehow under the radar. In fact, China today produces 54% of total EVs globally and with an even higher share for EV batteries. How did China get there? In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro sits down with Alicia García-Herrero and Zeyi Yang to explore China's EV industry. Together they discuss the country's rapid rise in the market, its advancement on battery technology, as well as geopolitical implications with a growing chorus calling for de-risking.

Original Release on July, 27th 2023: With higher quality and lower costs, China's electric vehicles could lead a shift in the global auto industry.----- Transcript -----Adam Jonas: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Adam Jonas, Head of Morgan Stanley's Global Autos and Share Mobility Team. Tim Hsaio: And Tim Hsaio Greater China Auto Analyst. Adam Jonas: And on this special episode of Thoughts on the Market, we're going to discuss how China Electric vehicles are reshaping the global auto market. It's Thursday, July 27th at 8 a.m. in New York. Tim Hsaio: And 8 p.m in Hong Kong. Adam Jonas: For decades, global autos have been dominated by established, developed market brands with little focus on electric vehicles or EVs, particularly for the mass market. As things stand today, affordable EVs are few and far between, and this undersupply presents a major global challenge. At Morgan Stanley Equity Research, we think the auto industry will undergo a major reshuffling in the next decade as affordable EVs from emerging markets capture significant global market share. Tim, you believe China made EVs will be at the center of this upcoming shakeup of the global auto industry, are we at an inflection point and how did we get here? Tim Hsaio: Thanks, Adam. Yeah, we are definitely at a very critical inflection point at the moment. Firstly, since last year, as you may notice that China has outsized Germany car export and soon surpassed Japan in the first half of this year as the world's largest auto exporter. So now we believe China made EVs infiltrating the West, challenging their global peers, backed by not just cheaper prices but the improving variety and quality. And separately, we believe that affordability remains the key mitigating factors to global EV adoption, as Rastan brands have been slow to advance their EV strategy for their mass market. A lack of affordable models actually challenged global adoption, but we believe that that creates a great opportunity to EV from China where a lot of affordable EVs will soon fill in the vacuum and effectively meet the need for cheaper EV. So we believe that we are definitely at an inflection point. Adam Jonas: So Tim, it's safe to say that the expansionary strategy of China EVs is not just a fad, but real solid trend here? Tim Hsaio: Totally agree. We think it's going to be a long lasting trend because you think about what's happened over the past ten years. China has been a major growth engine to curb auto demands, contributing more than 300% of a sales increment. And now we believe China will transport itself into the key supply driver to the world, they initially by exporting cheaper EV and over time shifting course to transplant and foreign production just similar to Japan and Korea autos back to 1970 to 1990. And we believe China EVs are making inroads into more than 40 countries globally. Just a few years ago, the products made by China were poorly designed, but today they surpass rival foreign models on affordability, quality and even detector event user experience. So Adam, essentially, we are trying to forecast the future of EVs in China and the rest of the world, and this topic sits right at the heart of all three big things Morgan Stanley Research is exploring this year, the multipolar world, decarbonization and technology diffusion. So if we take a step back to look at the broader picture of what happens to supply chain, what potential scenarios for an auto industry realignment do you foresee? And which regions other than China stand to benefit or be negatively impacted? Adam Jonas: So, Tim, look, I think there's certainly room to diversify and rebalance at the margin away from China, which has such a dominant position in electric vehicles today, and it was their strategy to fulfill that. But you also got to make room for them. Okay. And there's precedent here because, you know, we saw with the Japanese auto manufacturers in the 1970s and 1980s, a lot of people doubted them and they became dominant in foreign markets. Then you had the Korean auto companies in the 1990s and 2000s. So, again, China's lead is going to be long lasting, but room for on-shoring and near-shoring, friend shoring. And we would look to regions like ASEAN, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, also the Middle East, such as Morocco, which has an FTA agreement with the U.S. and Saudi, parts of Scandinavia and Central Europe, and of course our trade partners in North America, Mexico and Canada. So, we' re witnessing an historic re-industrialization of some parts of the world that where we thought we lost some of our heavy industry. Tim Hsaio: So in a context of a multipolar trends, we are discussing Adam, how do you think a global original equipment manufacturers or OEM or the car makers and the policymakers will react to China's growing importance in the auto industry? Adam Jonas: So I think the challenge is how do you re-architect supply chains and still have skin in the game and still be relevant in these markets? It's going to take time. We think you're going to see the established auto companies, the so-called legacy car companies, seek partnerships in areas where they would otherwise struggle to bring scale. Look to diversify and de-risk their supply chains by having a dual source both on-shore and near-shore, in addition to their established China exposed supply chains. Some might choose to vertically integrate, and we've seen some striking partners upstream with mining companies and direct investments. Others might find that futile and work with battery firms and other structures without necessarily owning the technology. But we think most importantly, the theme is you're not going to be cutting out the world's second largest GDP, which already has such a dominant position in this important market, so the Western firms are going to work with the Chinese players. And the ones that can do that we think will be successful. And I'd bring our listeners attention to a recent precedent of a large German OEM and a state sponsored Chinese car company that are working together on electric vehicle architecture, which is predominantly the Chinese architecture. We think that's quite telling and you're going to see more of that kind of thing. Tim Hsaio: So Adam, is there anything the market is missing right now? Adam Jonas: A few things, Tim, but I think the most obvious one to me is just how good these Chinese EVs are. We think the market's really underestimating that, in terms of quality safety features, design. You know, you're seeing Chinese car companies hiring the best engineers from the German automakers coming, making these beautiful, beautiful vehicles, high quality. Another thing that we think is underestimated are the environmental externalities from battery manufacturing, batteries are an important technology for decarbonization. But the supply chain itself has some very inconvenient ESG externalities, labor to emissions and others. And I would say, final thing that we think the market is missing is there's an assumption that just because the electric vehicle and the supporting battery business, because it's a large and fast growing, that it has to be a high return business. And we are skeptical of that. Precedents from the solar polysilicon and LED TVs and others where when you get capital working and you've got state governments all around the world providing incentives that you get the growth, but you don't necessarily get great returns for shareholders, so it's a bit of a warning to investors to be cautious, be opportunistic, but growth doesn't necessarily mean great returns. Tim, let's return to China for a minute and as I ask you one final question, where will growing China's EV exports go and what is your outlook for the next one or two years as well as the next decade? Tim Hsaio: Eventually, I think China EVs will definitely want to grow their presence worldwide. But initially, we believe that there are two major markets they want to focus on. First one would be Europe. I think the China's export or the local brands there will want to leverage their BEV portfolio, battery EV, to grow their presence in Europe. And the other key market would be ASEAN country, Southeast Asia. I think the Chinese brands where the China EV can leverage their plug-in hybrid models to grow their presence in ASEAN. The major reason is that we noticed that in Southeast Asia the charging infrastructure is still underdeveloped, so the plug-in hybrid would be the more ideal solution to that market. And for the next 1 to 2 years, we are currently looking for the China the EV export to grow by like 50 to 60% every year. And in that long-terms, as you may notice that currently China made vehicles account for only 3% of cars sold outside China. But in the next decade we are looking for one third of EVs sold in overseas would be China made, so they are going to be the leader of the EV sold globally. Adam Jonas: Tim, thanks for taking the time to talk. Tim Hsaio: Great speaking with you Adam.Adam Jonas: As a reminder, if you enjoy Thoughts on the Market, please take a moment to rate and review us on the Apple Podcast app. It helps more people to find the show.
In the US, Tesla remains far and away the dominant maker of electric vehicles. But on a global scale, the situation is much more competitive. Over the last few years, Chinese EV makers have massively ramped up their export capacity and one in particular — BYD — sells more total vehicles (both pure EV and hybrid) than Tesla does. On this episode, we speak with Corey Cantor, an EV analyst at BloombergNEF about the competition between these two companies, China's EV strategy more broadly, the worldwide battle over batteries, the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and the big shifts underway in the global automotive landscape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was one of those turning points in the global economy which deserved more attention: Chinese passenger car exports exceeded Japan's this past May, powered by the country's rapidly-expanding electric vehicle sector. It's a marker of China's increasing dominance in this emerging industry, and another sign of Japan's struggles to make more headway, despite its early forays into alternative fuel vehicles. But secure is China's EV dominance, how big a threat are its EVs to the likes of Toyota, and will a steady flow of EV exports trigger a regulatory backlash? Julian Evans-Pritchard, our China Economics head, and Marcel Thieliant, who leads our Japan coverage, discuss the Chinese EV challenge and what it means for Japan's auto industry in this special episode of The Weekly Briefing from Capital Economics. During their conversation, Julian and Marcel cut through the hype to address the key issues around the rise of China's EV industry, including: · How Beijing nurtured a globally-dominant EV industry;· The growing risk of Western protectionism against Chinese EVs;· How Japan's car makers lost their lead in alternative fuel vehicles.Click here to explore the analysis referenced in this episode.

From being ridiculed to being touted as posing the greatest risks to Europe's carmakers, what have China's electric vehicle makers experienced in the past decade? Are China-made EVs still synonym with low-end cheap products? And will Chinese EV makers become the next target of Western encirclement as their influence grows? Host Tu Yun joins Andy Mok, Senior Research Fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, William Lee, Chief Economist at the U.S.-based Milken Institute, and Minhua Shao, Chair Professor and Director of the Energy Institute, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology on this episode of Chat Lounge to find out the answer and more.
BYD is an electric vehicle powerhouse. Already dominant globally in buses and trucks, BYD is now chasing Tesla for world leadership in battery-powered electric vehicles. The Shenzhen-based company will produce more than 3 million electric vehicles in 2023. Many of those cars and SUVs will find their way to global markets including Thailand, Mexico, Germany, the UK, Australia and Japan. For the casual observer, BYD might appear to be an overnight sensation. But this is not that case. BYD is a 30-year old company that persevered through lots of twists and turns before finally gaining traction in the late 2010s. In this Driving With Dunne episode, I have a conversation with my producer, Chris Donovan, to recount how BYD grew from an unknown battery maker for cellphones in the 1990s into a global champion in electrics today. What do we know about BYD's founder, Wang Chuanfu. How soon will we see BYD cars on American roads? BYD - which stands for Build Your Dreams - is a rich and captivating story, one that will give you a fresh appreciation for new-found Chinese might and confidence. #DrivingWithDunne / #ZozoGohttps://twitter.com/Dunne_ZoZoGohttps://www.instagram.com/zo.zo.go/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dunne-a696901a/

However, NIO's current pricing structure excludes their existing models from qualifying for the tax exemption. But fear not! NIO has a game-changing plan up its sleeve. Introducing ALPS, NIO's upcoming Sub Brand that is set to launch in 2024. ALPS targets the mass market, offering more affordable electric vehicles within the price range required for the tax exemption. In this episode, we discuss the potential impact of the extension of the tax exemption policy on NIO and how ALPS can capitalize on this opportunity. We explore the significance of ALPS in expanding NIO's market reach, driving sales, and strengthening their brand recognition.Join us as we unravel the intricate dynamics between China's EV tax exemption extension and NIO's ALPS Sub Brand. Learn how these factors converge to create a promising future for NIO in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market.Don't miss out on this insightful discussion!

Jenny Liu is a schoolteacher in Zhumadian in central China. With about 7 million people, it's still considered a small city. When she's not working, her days are spent on the go, shuttling her kids around town.Liu drives a Seahorse, a Chinese brand mini-electric car.China started investing in new electric vehicles (EV) years ago. This year, about 25% of new cars sold there are electric.Liu told The World that she's usually driving around in her electric car from morning until night.One day, her first stop was dropping off her daughter at kindergarten. Next, she took her 12 year-old son to his tutoring session and picked up some groceries. In the afternoon, it was more pick-ups, drop-offs and errands.“Everyone here has an electric car,” she said. Liu's family actually owns three electric vehicles — the mini-electric car, an electric scooter and a three-wheeled golf cart. They're all for short trips within the city.They also own a gas-powered car, but Liu said they only use it for long-haul trips outside the city. Car buyers check out the Avatr 11 electric vehicle in China. Credit: Rebecca Kanthor/The World “It's just too expensive to drive,” she explained. The mini-EV costs her family less than $4 a week to charge up. Gas and parking would cost at least five times as much.Across Chinese cities, electric cars can be seen everywhere, and can be spotted by their green license plates. Tiny mini-EVs are especially popular in smaller cities. They're even smaller than the SmartCars seen on roads in the US. And these mini-EVs are customized with colors and decals — for example, some cars are decorated with Mickey Mouse, Hello Kitty or the black-and-white splotches of a dairy cow.Zhang Bo, 32, owns a shiny silver Wuling Hongguang, which was the best-selling EV in China, a Chinese joint venture with GM. He uses his car to commute to work. “It's really convenient for city driving,” he said. It's also budget-friendly. This model goes for under $5,000.Yang Jian, a journalist who writes about the car industry in China, said that government subsidies have been a big reason for the EV market's success, but he senses that it is now growing even stronger because buyers are interested in the cars themselves, not just the subsidies.“Now there is a real demand for EVs, especially among the young population.”Yang Jian is, journalist“Now there is a real demand for EVs, especially among the young population,” he said. “They really like the car, from the exterior to interior to [its] performance. They like to try new things.”And there are plenty of options to try, for every budget, from tiny, cheaper models all the way up to luxury cars made by Chinese and foreign automakers. Bill Russo is a car industry expert in Shanghai. He said that the range of options is key to China's EV success.“If the Chinese EV market were an ice cream shop, it would be Baskin Robbins,” he said. “You know, 31 flavors. There's basic EVs, midmarket EVs, and then there's more premium [ones with] more technology. I call them smart EV offerings — even some high end brands, like the HiPhi — which is selling an EV that is more than $100,000.In the coastal city of Shanghai — a city of 25 million people — you can see the full range of electric vehicles on the roads, from electric scooters and electric buses, all the way to Teslas and other luxury cars. Hart Yang, 24, is a physical education teacher at an elementary school, and like many people in China from his generation, he's the first car owner in his family. He bought a black Tesla Model 3.“I chose an electric car mostly for the free license plate,” he said. In Shanghai, the cost of a license plate alone is more than $13,000, Yang explained. But electric and hybrid car buyers in Shanghai get a green license plate at no cost.That perk will be taken away from hybrid car buyers at the end of this year, but the Chinese government has signaled it will continue to support the EV car market into 2023.Tesla, which has a factory in Shanghai, is a popular EV car purchase in bigger cities. But Chinese brands are competitive, with names like Future and Build Your Dream. High-end Chinese EV makers are tapping into an aspirational market.

It's a high-tech collaboration between Changan, one of China's biggest car companies, and Huawei, the mobile phone company. The car sells for nearly $50,000.Elliot Richards, who makes YouTube videos about Chinese electric cars, said that for top-end electric car buyers here, it's all about the technology.“Chinese consumers think that this is like a mobile phone purchase,” he said. “They just change it every six months into the new technology, like an iPhone. Let's drive this for six months, enjoy it, sell it. Get the new model from another company.”The model he's driving doesn't require a key. You use your phone to unlock the doors. The car is full of perks: three large screens on the dashboard and the backseats even feature back massagers. Cameras and sensors are positioned throughout the car. YouTuber Elliot Richards test drives a Chinese luxury electric vehicle. Credit: Rebecca Kanthor/The World When the onboard computer senses its passengers are in a happy mood, an automated woman's voice offers to put on some upbeat music and lighting inside the car.These high-tech features will eventually be standard in most Chinese EVs, Richards said.Electric cars in China benefit from a strong infrastructure that supports the industry. In Shanghai, there are 109,000 public charging stations. “There are so many,” Richards said. “And if I go further outside of Shanghai, I know the motorway network, every service station has chargers. It's so easy that I didn't even consider it a problem in China.”But others find it more difficult to drive electric cars on long-haul trips. Hart Yang, the Tesla owner, said he ran out of power for his car on a trip into the mountains several hours away from Shanghai. The remote rural area he traveled to was not well equipped with charging stations, so he had to come up with an alternate solution.Outside of China's wealthier coastal cities, though, many people still rely on China's extensive rail network or gas-powered cars for longer trips.The Chinese government has announced that it is investing in new charging stations for rural areas across the country, in the hopes that a stronger charging infrastructure will pave the way for Chinese drivers to go all in on electric.

China's electric car companies completely dominate the EV market and are eating into Tesla's business. In 2021, China's EV industry was worth $124 billion. https://theprint.in/opinion/eye-on-china/byton-byd-saic-nio-xpeng-chinas-electric-car-industry-is-locking-horns-with-us-tesla/1085531/

If we manage to figure out the technical stuff, it will start at 8:00 am Monday China time, and that's 7 pm Eastern, 4 pm Pacific on Sunday. In this upcoming episode, we are going to talk about the China EV market, which is poised to surpass 3 million vehicles this year and 5 million next year. We're going to talk about China's EV startups, international brands, and what makes China so disruptive in the EV space. We'll touch on some issues like range, design, battery size, and charging. We'll bring it back to the issue of emissions and the environment, and take your questions. If all goes well, we'll play a game of buy-sell-or-hold with our esteemed guests, and our audience will get to play too! So looking forward to seeing you there with us, LIVE, on the Environment China podcast on Twitter Spaces, Sunday night US time, Monday morning China time! You can access the Live event on the link above.
In this episode, we unpack the buzz around Tesla finally entering the Indian market, the steps that the carmaker might take to cement its success in India, and how India could take a leaf out of China's EV playbook to potentially revolutionise EV adoption in the world's largest democracy.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced late Tuesday that the company will open its Supercharger network to other automakers by the end of the year in a tweet. Tesla is said to be in talks with European countries about opening up its charging network to other automakers in order to unlock subsidies in those countries. China's EV manufacturers Li Auto, Nio, Xpeng Motors, and BYD Co. (BYDDF) all rallied 5 to 8 percent to the news, while Tesla was down 0.78%.
This episode we're exploring China's electric vehicle sector and the many manufacturers vying for a piece of the increasingly crowded market. We're joined by Nick Lai, head of Asia Auto Research at JP Morgan, to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing foreign EV producers in China, as well as the intersection between electric vehicles and smart cars in the future of auto manufacturing. We also chat about China's charging infrastructure and EV battery market, including why foreign battery manufacturers are unlikely to compete in the China market. Finally, Nick offers his take on whether the majority of China's new car sales will be EVs by 2030.
