China dominates the electric vehicle industry, with its brands responsible for about two-thirds of global sales in 2024, although none of those sales were in the U.S.

China loves electric cars: making them, driving them and selling them to the rest of the world.

Electric vehicles have been widely adopted in China, thanks in part to years of now-defunct government subsidies and a fast-growing network of charging stations. According to the International Energy Agency, almost half of the cars sold in China in 2024 were electric, compared with about 1 in 10 in the U.S.

But despite growing global interest in the innovative sector, Chinese electric cars remain out of reach for consumers in the world’s second-largest auto market, the United States.

      And don’t ask what an Artisanal Miner is or why we’ve been importing so much of our rare earth material from a disputed territory between Congo and Rwanda.

        That’s just how threads go on forums like this. People see your original comment, but replies you make to other comments may get buried. If you want everyone to see your other comment, make it an edit to your original.

          I really don’t care, starting to dislike this place anyways. I post something personal and get zero replies, I post some dumb shit about Chinese cars and get 80 replies. Meh.
