China, the U.S. and the great electric vehicle race

A new super-fast charging battery from BYD is a wake-up call to American firms.

@jeffjarvis We have BYD everywhere here in Australia. Not only the number one EV sold here in 2025, but number one car brand nationally. Eclipsing the last 30 years of Toyota/Mazda/Ford/Hyundai etc being best sellers. BYD are excellent cars at great prices, full of features. Also making inroads Chinese EV brands Chery, MG, GWM, Deepal, LDV, JAC, Geely. Helps that we don't have any tariffs from China. Just a Luxury Car Tax for +$100K from any brand. Our market is deciding - Chinese EV.

On Friday we replaced our Merc B200, in need of serious repairs *(250k+ kms), with our second MG EV.
