The electric vehicle competition is fierce and China is emerging as an early leader, thanks in part to its control of the supply chain of raw materials for batteries. NBC News’ Janis Mackey Frayer takes us to the Shanghai International Auto Show to report on the country’s EV boom.

#NBCNews #China #ElectricVehicle
Good thing nobody wants one
Nobody wants yet China is number 1 car exporter in the world. Perhaps you need to work on your reasoning skills…
If nobody wants it . Why is it exported
If no one wants it, how does China become the world leader in producing and exporting high quality, high technology electric cars in the world?
Did Obiden finally keel over and die?
@jacksmith6015 I’m just curious as to what the media frenzy is trying to coverup
@GoogleCensor ForObidenRegime source ?
Lol no they are not. China fudges the numbers.
Ban all Electric vehicles and use Gasoline instead?
yes, EVs are communist!
“democratic”
Lol. I can’t wait till all these batteries randomly catch fire and explode. Chinese engineering no thanks.
Most Teslas bought today come from china. Good try buddy😂😂
You say Chinese engineering no thanks but most likely 80% of the things in your house are from China. 🤣
@Hedgehog Fox for real, honestly this whole china things bad is full on copium at this point
Most engineers in America are ethnic Chinese. 🤷♂
No that’s Korean manufacturer LG Chem with the exploding batteries, or did you not see all the Chevrolet Bolt and Hyundai Kona EV barbecues? 🤣😂🤣😂
😂 America says it’s so free and has such a great economy that they have to put such tariffs on the competitors because they’re actually then anything the US has!
@pipi qiqi : Please stop smoking crack. According to DW, “Currently the US levies a 2.5 percent tariff on European auto imports, while the European Union imposes a 10 percent duty.” There is also a 25% import tariff on trucks. try harder wumao.
@tooltalk Tesla has 100% ownership of their facilities in China, so that throws your “all foreign auto makers” into the dustbin… 🤣😂🤣😂
@DailyBeatings >> Tesla has 100% ownership of their facilities in China, so that throws your “all foreign auto makers” into the dustbin..<< LOL. So how many foreign auto companies have 100% ownership other than Tesla? Of 100+ foreign auto companies, None? Just proved my point again. wumao, try harder.
@Jack Smith 😂 he can’t even talk for himself
@Will Li : dumb and dumber.
The tariffs that Trump touted and still does tout, it just means more tax on US citizens
Trump hates progress
Good, let them fail.
Good luck driving a Chinese EV… just look at all those Chinese made E-bike battery catching fire!
Source ? 😊
agreed, chinese batteries rarely have any BMS or thermometer, or if they do they are typically for show, and dont function. so many exploding lithium ion batteries in china, its so hilarious. ive seen so many videos and cases of such explosions on youtube.
@Jack Smith His source is from watching anti-China Youtube videos.
There are few more anti-China Youtube videos on battery fire and EVs left to rotten.
@William I saw many explosions, too on anti-China youtube videos.
search youtube for chinese electric cars on fire, they aren’t a big threat due to their poor quality
@tooltalk there are literally hundreds if not thousands of ICE car fires around the globe every single day.
Guys calm down, Petrol cars catch on fire at a rate 20 times as much (per vehicle) than EV’s there are literally hundreds if not thousands of ICE car fires around the world every single day just that it doesn’t make the news.
@T B >> there are literally hundreds if not thousands of ICE car fires around the globe every single day. << Sure, the average age of vehicles on the road today in the US is about 12+ yrs -- and older vehicles are more prone to fire due to mechnical/electrical failures as they age. What's the average age of EVs on the road today?
@tooltalk There are a few more anti-China Youtube videos to watch, so you can blindly repeating the anti-China rhetoric.
@Jack Smith He got his source from watching anti-China Youtube videos.
Corporate espionage at its finest
*After Ford trying to pay $3.5 billion to buy CATL turn – key battery tech but got refused yeah I think corporate espionage got intense and will get more intense.*
The US in general lack of battery tech, for example Tesla had to partner with Panasonic when they started a few years ago (rely on their 30 years of R&D) and its first factory was bought from Toyota (for high quality manufacture process).
U are so jealous
Stealing from one who does not have anything to steal from..😂😂😅
Makes sense the push for these things since our politicians are bought and paid for by China
LOL, leading manufacture in electric vehicles. must be the reason why thousands of them are built the abandoned in many large parking lots and fields in china. not every brand is reliable either.
We still have Tesla. Imagine if the chinese could sell EVs in the US? Prices will plummet with so much competition!
@DailyBeatings : apple to oranges. There are over 270M ICE vehicles on the road in the US with an average age of 12yrs vs much newer EVs that are only 2-3 years old?
@tooltalk By percentage the risk of an EV fire is still lower than a gasoline powered vehicle. Also you still didn’t distinguish between fires caused by accidents or other factors. Once again disingenuous as usual…🤣😂🤣😂
@DailyBeatings : newer vehicles usually don’t catch fire unless in collision. Older vehicles on the other hand are more prone to fire due to mechnical/electrical issues as they age. clueless as usual.
@tooltalk “newer vehicles usually don’t catch fire unless in collision.” – Well you just invalidated your argument for the Hangzhou battery fire because the vehicle hit a barrier at high speed, then caught fire. If you’re going to gasp at straws please make an effort not to contradict yourself…🤣😂🤣😂
@DailyBeatings tsk, tsk,. We are talking ICE, not EVs. EVs have different causes of fires – badly designed or made electric wiring/batteries blowing up while charging or simply parked not doing anything. Just shows how clueless you really are again and again.
RIP Tesla
TESLA is fine. legacy automakers tho…esp Japanese brands are now dodobirds
Serpentza: China is Throwing Way Feilds of Electric Cars – Letting them Rot!
China insights: Warren Buffet cuts stake of China’s BYD for the 10th time, why? Bad luck comes for China EV makers.
China Observer China’s EV industry collapse. 90% of EV Manufactures May Face Bankruptcy, 100 Brands May Disappear.
Ooh my serpe.tza a white guy who hates china
Oooh plz provide proof .
China insight, china observer 2 fake news peddling channels
Try more
Found the bot
“I am here to urge all members of Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, to join together in making China a normal trading partner of the United States.” “Trade with China serves the economic interests of America.” –Republican George W. Bush, May 17th 2000. “Passage of this legislation will mean a stronger American economy, as well as more opportunity for liberty and freedom in China.” –Republican George W. Bush, May 25th 2000. China’s entrance into the World Trade Organization and the subsequent US trade deficit with China has resulted in the continued loss of millions of US jobs, primarily in manufacturing.
Good luck not complaining when things cost 200% more😂😂 Jan 6 redux!!!😂😂😂
China produces vehicles and leaves them out in a field to rot. Not green at all.
typical serpentza misinformation lol
You are brainwashed by serpentza, LOL.
Read more and not just watch propaganda
Source ? Proof ?
There are a few other anti-China youtube videos you need to watch, so you can blindly repeat the China hate rhetoric.
Battery is against America’s freedom and democracy value, in short, evil.
Lol Wut
😂😂😂😂
What ? You ok . Without freedom how you use YouTube
Ai took your car
bye Elon
Calm down Americans, this is Chinese century
What ?
I am not a bit surprise at all!
China’s BYD will be investing $30 billion USD to build factories in India to take advantage of India’s huge market.
BYD did say to increase investment in India but didn’t give details
@迈德尔 India complex laws will block all investment and.profits
Latest news: India govt. turned down BYD proposal to invest in India, probably due to Chinese company. India will lose. It is anti-competition, and it will fall behind.
That is a load of crap!! Haaaaaa!! India is not a place for large investment now and likely for the next 30 years!!
China would not invest in India ….just look at Xaimei cell phone in India. The correct news is BYD will sen EVs to India on cash advanced payment….ONLY Cash Advance Will Do!! Ha!! Ha!!
Why investing in India when Ford, GM and foreign car companies are pulling out ?? due to strikes, social unrest, poor infrastructure, corruption, low productivity and bureaucratic government.
Pretty soon EV will become democracy in the state too! Only losers scare of competition!
The fact that NBC is bringing up this report 3 months after the Shanghai auto show shows the US auto industry as a whole will never be able to compete with China’s. Even Tesla is relying on Shanghai factory for more than half of its global output. Who else besides Tesla is going to survive the coming China auto onslaught?
China actually works hard. They don’t makes military bases
Ah yes every one look up China fact chasers and you will know they are being paid by the CCP to do this as propaganda
Soooooo people buying converse vehicles are “bought” by CCP . LOL😂
I live now you are jealous of china
@Jack Smith I’m not jealous I pity them seen the safety features do not deploy when you get into an accident with a Chinese made electric car Chinese fake chasers, have a video showing foreign cars in an accident next to a Chinese made electric car where none of the airbags deployed now thousands of Chinese made electric cars are sitting in fields collecting dust
I BOUGHT A BLENDER IT ONLY WORK FOR TWO WEEKS. NO MORE MADE IN CHINA CRAP FOR ME, CHINESE COMPANY WILL SELLL THOSE JUNNKY CARS THEN CLOSE THEIR DOOR. . ONE DAY YOU WILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR CHINESE CRAP CAR. THAT NOBODY CAN FIX IT
Share proof . Everyone buys from china and everything works.
Leading the exploding vehicle market. Im dying to burn alive in one. Cant wait to meet my maker
Source ? Proof ?
Waiting
The number of people who have burned to death in a gasoline powered vehicle is MANY MANY times as many who have died in an EV. So if you own an ICE car then you may someday get your wish.
BYD

Wow u are so jealous
Maybe so but their buildings are falling. Their man made islands are sinking and the rest of their manufacturing sector exports nothing but poorly made unnecessary CRAP!!! So WHY is China worth anyone’s time, money or RESPECT again? I don’t seem to remember!
Their business address falling .
Proof ?
Poor made ? Proof ? The entire world bus from china.
What a farce
How ?
How many cars are sitting unused?
Plz provide proof
Chinese companies dump thousands of brand new vehicles into fields and let them rot. they get government subsidizes for however many cars that are “insured” but it doesnt matter if they just abandon them in a field to make it look like they are producing a ton and they are “being used”. this is how alot of shady chinese business roll. In order to make investors think that they are profitable and not total scams (which they are).
*When is GM and Ford big players 🤭*
China 🇨🇳 just unveiled a $6,000 USD electric automobile. Impressive 👍

Rick:”China’s BYD will be investing $30 billion USD to build factories in India to take advantage of India’s huge marke” //// Haaaaaa!! I don;t believe this BS!! India is not a place for large investment now and ….likely for the next 30 years!!
The REAL news is BYD will sell EVs to India on cash advance payment before Delivery!!….ONLY Cash Advance Will Do!! Ha!!
Not me .
