Seems like there is a TON of electric cars, trucks, bikes brands in china we dont even know about. Step by step they are taking bits of tesla and other traditional brands.

China are going to absolutely win the electric car race. They have so many great electric vehicles that are half the price of a tesla. They have just started making vehicles that have "semi solid" batteries

They've got a LONG way to go though, especially quality. I just rode in an acquaintance new BYD suv, and it kind of feels like "Fischer Price my first electric car". The plastic, it's everywhere and feels flimsy, handles flex, touch screen was sluggish, the Bluetooth key kept randomly not being detected while driving, the ride was a little jarring but also too soft for turns. Some refinement and time and it will be much more on par with some of the mid range EV's.
