🚗 China now produces more than 60% of the world's electric vehicles. In 2025, 55% of all new cars sold there were electric.

Meanwhile in the US, the EV share of new car sales fell to about 5.8% in 2026 after federal tax credits expired. That 10% figure from a year ago is now history.

The infrastructure gap is just as stark. China ended 2025 with 4.7 million public charging points. The US had about 235,000.

On the tech side, BYD and Zeekr are deploying megawatt chargers pushing 1,000-1,500 kW. Most US fast chargers top out at 250-400 kW. Tesla's newest V4 Superchargers max at 500 kW, but no Tesla vehicle can currently use the full output.

The gap is widening, and US protectionism means this competition won't reach American drivers anytime soon.
