A few months ago, me and a friend of mine were discussing pure electric vehicles, and she said she felt that EVs are not mature enough and that ICE cars were safer. Now she's considering buying an EV.
New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China

Yes the Iran war couldn’t come at a better time for Chinas auto industry, since since beginning of this year , sales of EVs had fallen sharply since the government cut EV SALES subsidies(which I think was too early anyway) in half . So oil prise shock due to Iran war and blockade that followed is raising prices sharply globally. This is good news for Chinese EVs sales not just globally but even more so locally, provided the Chinese government doesn’t keep subsidizing oil prices (which they have been doing to some extent funny enough) to keep gas cars competitive which I don’t see how that helps China auto industry. Plus rise in oil prices is finally helping the Chinese government fight the deflationary impasse which the country has been trying to stem for years now. Finally there is some sort of minimal rise in prices(though very small/subtle) but still it shows at least the county is slowly coming out of the deflation it has been in for some time now. So ironically this war might be bad for those suffering from it but it’s not as bad for China to be honest. Such is life ironically (there will always be some who indirectly benefit from a bad situation of others

BMW is still a status symbol among Boomer and Gen X Chinese people. It’s pretty much the car equivalent of the lady running the food stand from this video.

BYD has officially announced that prices for its advanced driver-assistance systems will increase starting May 1, with no changes to the specifications, citing rising costs as the reason.
This move comes as a major surprise, given BYD’s decline in first-quarter sales and the intense competition in the domestic market.

Chinese vacuum cleaner maker Dreame unveiled the Jet-Powered EV supercar Nebula NEXT 01 at an event in San Francisco yesterday.
The concept EV is equipped with dual solid-fuel rocket booster system that enables a 150-millisecond ultra-fast response time, generates a maximum thrust of 100 kN, and delivers a 0.9-second acceleration in 0-to-100 km/h, and came with 1,900 HP Quad-Motor EV powertrain. according to the firm.
