They don’t have any problem generating electricity. They build new coal powered plants at an amazing rate.

China is eating our lunch right now.

While we argue back and forth about an expensive source of energy from early LAST century, and drive around in extremely costly vehicles which only get more, and more costly … China has taken the lead.

Globally.

Only Tesla has measured up. And they have a real struggle on their hands.

It is not about a global conspiracy to limit our movement.

It is about creating, and building new sources of power generation, and storage.

Forward!

😎

Chinese Electric cars are crap. Even the most expensive brand and models have a tendency to burst into flame without warning. Sounds like a customer nightmare, so bring them on.

"China is so far ahead in the electric vehicles market that its competitors are trailing in the dust"

The new arsenal of communism.

Wonder how much of the Chinese population drives long distances, such as on vacations. Wonder how much of the Chinese rural population drives electric vehicles to get from town to town. People shoving 100% EV down our throats do not think about those who don’t live in cities.

An interesting analog.

Driving golf carts, UTV’s and side by sides is becoming legal all over rural America. I recently was able to title my John Deere Gator and register it for driving on county roads. Increasingly over time, more are showing up in parking lots at the Walmart.

It’s pretty easy when they are lined up at the store to figure out where they came from. City carts are virtually always electric. People from outskirts and beyond use gas or diesel.

We've a gasoline-powered sedan, and a diesel-powered truck. Older and regularly and well maintained.

Whatever is happening with "electric" transportation in the governemt-regulating halls has yet to land at our door.

Whatever is roiling the headlines to do with "electric" transportation is wholly without importance to us.

Whatever is going on in terms of marketing competition between brands and whole nations is not coming to us, yet.

I personally suspect that the whole "green" theme as regards electric vehicles will run its course long before the local constabulary comes knocking to confiscate our HVs. Hydrocarbon-fueled vehicles.

There is not enough infrastructure to power a nation of EVs in any nation. But there is MARKETING enough to make some people think there is. Rather like "blue hydrogen" which is acquired by burning other energy to capture it.

Everyone's got a breakthrough, selling venture capital on a "this" and especially a breakthrough "that." I think we'll top up the sedan at Costco this afternoon. And not read the Financial Times.

That headline must have been written by AI. I dislike that as much as I dislike talking to some Indian in Bombay for tech support who calls himself Roger.

Saying the ChiComs are “ahead” in EVs is like saying that someone is ahead in a bulimia contest. The ChiComs’ economy is on the precipice of collapse, and EVs will only make it worse.

The paid-off drunks at the Financial Times are well known for praising ChiComm Potemkin villages.
