How Chinese carmakers came from nowhere to overtake Japan

by the way battery ev car are not really that green. they mostly used electricity supply by conventional gas/oil/coal power plant with thermal efficiency range from 40-60% . in addition the battery material process and disposal will all need more energy. the loonger range or bigger size vehicle will meant need to carry more battery so heavier dead weight to carry. does not make sense for trucks.
refuel time can be 1/2 hours to many depending on charging mode and how much to recharged. some car model is changing to replace battery pack at changing stations. around 5-10 min.

while petrol, hybrid has about 40% thermal efficiency..

hydrogen fuel cell ev, 40-60% depending on type. much lesser dead weight to carry and especially larger vehicle does not result in much weight increased compared to battery ev.
also low refuel time of about 5 min.
