  1. If they last on the market long enough to develop a decent after-sales reliability and maintenance record. Which considering Mainland Chinese attitudes toward quality of service will likely grow much slower than they expect.

  5. We might not Na-ion batteries in all our cars, but its production for static applications (buildings and camps) and already-heavy movers (ships and trains) would free up capacity for EVs.

  7. It's more intense because the domestic market saturated as the average Chinese consumer's buying power shrank during and after Zero-COVID. The sudden availability of Chinese EV exports are largely due to lack of demand at home, not a surge of quality production.

  9. Plus the intentionally increasing difficulty of obtaining registration for an ICE vehicle, while EV plates are still open season.

  10. A star going supernova is brightest right before it goes dark forever.
