This is the factor that China auto industry beats the rest of the world, because Chinese PHEV turns out to be the ideal platform for the market transition from ICE to EV, not only for China but also for global. Even in the context of China massive charging infrastructure build-out, there are many on-the-ground use cases that require more than 300-mile range and 30-minute charging. BYD proves it. Li proves it. Luxeed proves it. Aito proves it. Stelato S9 needs it. This on-the-ground barrier-to-entry is almost unsurmountable for US and EU to overcome when they are trying to catch up with China NEV advancements.Interesting that PHEVs have EVs for BYD in terms of growth rate across 2024 (+73% vs. +12%) and also raw numbers (2.49m sales vs. 1.77m). Does this trend owe to BYD PHEV models being cheaper than equivalent EV models, or newer and more exciting? Higher levels of competition in the EV space than for PHEVs? Concerns regarding adequacy of charging infrastructure and positive value being attributed to flexibility of PHEV powertrain?

It's the same as asking the "practicality" of buying a BUGATTI, MACLAREN, ENZO FERRARI luxury cars: SHOWING OFFWhat would be the practical use cases for this?
