Does Tesla have a future? Where are the cheap US electric vehicles? How rapidly are Chinese EVs taking over the globe? Here's what we know. www.wired.com/story/electr...

In May, it was reported that, for the first time, Chinese automaker BYD sold more cars in Europe than Tesla in the previous month. Meanwhile in the US, the affordable car is about to go extinct. With Trump’s back-and-forth tariffs, it may well be time to say goodbye to the sub-$30,000 car.

Does the US have an EV future let alone Tesla? China is trying to clean up its air and water and to dominate the EV market with heavy government support- US ? We are still dancing with the dinosaurs 🦕 🦖🦕

Q: Will China really be able to make inroads into the EU market given the combination of tariffs and European consumer preference for their own homegrown brands? A: They already are. Chinese automaker BYD now outsells Tesla in Europe, and it is now launching its premium brand, Denza, there too.

BYD supposedly wants to build more than 4,000 new ultra-fast charging stations across China, with flash-chargers that can provide a full charge in just 5 to 8 minutes. Now for the US... that's looking grim.

BYD is taking over the EV market worldwide because China appreciates the emergency situation we are in.
