New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China

"Now fast forward 4 years, Chinese EV brands have leapfrogged to become the #1 in the world, global world class in quality, design, technology, and even price. That's just insane."
As @siegecrossbow so eloquently remarked in 2023, regarding Chinese progress in jet engines:
"It is almost as if Chinese
BAIC never had an active role. It was essentially a matter of bureaucracy. Car manufacturers need a license to produce cars in China, Xiaomi’s factory and car were ready before the license was approved, so they basically paid BAIC to establish a “joint venture” to be able to sell.
BYD got into the car business a similar way by buying a loss-making provincial car manufacturer.
So if BYD got its start building Suzuki Alto clones, and the current Alto is the #1 built car in India, India is almost there!

BYD's first passenger vehicle plant outside of Asia has started production in Brazil. The first vehicle to roll off production line is Seagull. It will be followed by Song Pro and King DM-i
Xiaomi EV spectacular success(don’t forget they started selling cars just 2 years now) shows you can’t just rely on only Price and even quality to compete, but branding, exclusivity and marketing is also very very important. I believe they will be more successful than even the other older Chinese EV startups like Li Auto, NIO, Xpeng, leapmotor etc. BYD might be their only main competition for the Chinese market this decade, that is if they continue at this rate. They just need to be consistent from now on and they might just win the Chinese EV market war(many others will go bankrupt, out of market, be consolidated)
