Welp this aged well. Chinese EVs are going to Canada with only a 6% tariff.

I guess a "free market" isn't really a free market after all.

I saw my first BYD last Week in UK😮

I've seen BYD buses being used by Long Beach Transit when I visited California back in 2018, but that's pretty much about it.

“Protectionism”

I don’t know about the carbon emission for producing batteries and EVs, what can tell is that when I waited at the Shenzhen train station’s Taxi queue, no engine noise, no fumes, i was absolutely impressed that all Taxi there were EV. For the first time in my life I didn’t have to breath in fumes or hearing the loud engine noise while standing in front a huge fleet of Taxi, it was so surreal.

They're popping up more and more in Spain. I see BYD almost as much as Tesla now.

I traveled to China several times and was always amazed at how quiet, luxurious and amazing their EVs. I only was in a few ones owned by common people who could afford the affordable ones and those are already amazing. I can’t imagine the top tier ones.

Double standards with bailout argument. How many times have GM and Chrysler been bailed out.

I recently talked to a Nio engineer, he was formally in Stellantis, he told me during his 10 years working for Stellantis, they developed only one car, but since he joined Nio 5 years ago, they have already worked on 7 cars and give birth to 5 new cars to the market. I guess in working experience wise, you can only get that from Chinese automakers

For people wanting the answer but not wanting to go through the whole vid, the answer is: trade barriers and tariffs.

I don't regret bumping into one of your video, they are so helpful and enlightening about what is actually happening around the world, i really appreciate and also keep up the good work Boss

The US and Canada tariffed them out of their market, while Europeans are famously pro-Euro brands. It's actually quite remarkable the market share they've gained in places like Australia, Mexico, and Singapore.

What these hypocrites will not tell you is that that same Chinese EV subsidy was also given to Tesla China😂😂

Tesla would die tomorrow if the Chinese cars were introduced in the US market today. lol.
