It is hard for new players to compete Japanese and European combustion engine quality. So, it's also good decision in term of competition to directly jump to electric.
combustion engines don't even come close to the efficiency of electric engines. (Doesn't matter who's designing/building them.) Do you even thermodynamics bro?
Han zhang I believe he is referring to travel distance of ev cars compared to traditional cars which if that's the case is quite true. Even tesla best ev car currently get a max of around 300 miles on average
Han Zhang I always got A in physics. I know combustion engine efficiency is actually low but people can refill it from 0% to 100% in just few minutes. EVs would have replaced combustion engine car if it's battery can be refilled fast.
mzamroni EV recharge pretty quick, in 15min last I heard. What's the problem? You also get just as much range out of it, plus you carry less mass than with a combustion engine block making you go further for the same energy, and you're more efficient.
Some of the electric buses in China can charge up with just 10-15 "seconds", it is called incremental capacitance charging. The bus takes a charge every time it stops to let off and take on passengers. ruclips.net/video/GX4o-2qFH40/видео.html ruclips.net/video/shWN8t-KU0M/видео.html The secret to EV cars is not about the car or the technology itself, it is about how a nation will generate it's energy ! China is going full steam ahead with nuclear and hydro power while the US is going back to coal !
0:35 "China's green Vehicle boom isn't driven primarily by concerns for the environment, it's the government's industrial policy that's making it happen." WOW. REALLY, WSJ?? So the rest of the world doesn't have the same boom because their governments are "primarily" concerning for the environment?? And China is only driven by money, right?? Chinese government never put environment as a criterion to set up their new EV policy, right?? Even if the rest of the world doesn't have a green EV boom, their governments still concern for the environment, but when China has it, it has to be China's greed for the new money. Right?? NOTHING to do with conscience, right?? NOTHING GOOD ever came out of China, right? Even if it APPEARS to be good, it's still rotten to the core, right?? China's rotten to the core no matter what, right?? What a brilliant *cough*never-changing*cough* twist~!! LMAO
Tofu not exactly, it is true that the gov promoting the market to build and purchase EV, not like US market the amount of plate is limited in many city in China, not everyone could get one whenever they want, however the only way out of this is to purchase EV which in most cases you could get an license plate very quickly.
Americans want the good old days to come back when they were at the top of the world and the Chinese are looking at the future. The Chinese government don't have to pander to old people wanting to bring back industries for the sake of nostalgia, since they are dictatorship they can just enforce their vision of the future on their citizens and that is that.
Americans Don't want the old days. A lot of Americans want renewable energy, e-cars etc. But our government and industry leaders prevent us from attaining that possibility. Not our choice...theirs! Don't get it confused
we expect for a long time the overunity free energy, Brazilian video shows that absorbed from the 35 watt electrical network produces power of 140 watts. The hope of the world is here ruclips.net/video/aEyXmsn9Mlo/видео.html
China has become an economic power house and now becoming a leader in solar power and electric cars. SMH.. but America is great again, right? So much greatness, so much win.
I live in Beijing and just today I did my usual 15 minute walk to this nearby area with a lot of bars and restaurants. Now there's a new electric car shop there. I had a little look around and you can see cars there that cost about 120,000 yuan, which is quite a bit cheaper than westerners would be paying for something like the tesla model 3. Plus they get all kinds of benefits when it comes to things like parking and registration plates (as this video mentioned). With all the smog here I for one can't wait to see this take off. By the way this video is already out of date because things are changing so fast. By the end of 2017 there are now over 1,200,000 EV's in China, you can see all the stats here: www.ev-volumes.com/country/china/
Well done Chinese engineers you are very intelligent engineers attempt to make a lot of high quality, electric cars yourself and beat the tesla company, you can do that easily. I wish you all the best
If Chinese ev car consumption reaches 65% of the world (the video suggests 50% currently). Will that mean, the future automotive industry will be dominated by Chinese??
Not necessarily. Even if China had 90% of EV cars that wouldn't mean that the Chinese would dominate the automotive industry because EVs would still be a small percentage of total cars in China. Now if the majority of cars in China were EVs, then China would dictate, not "dominate", the world automotive industry. You have bad math and bad logic. I hope that's not typical of most Chinese.
And France should learn from China,because the nation's gov somehow made a wrong way to persuade all France people to use EVs 100%.(Remember the Yellow Vest Protests?They actually also protesting the compulsory EV vehicle shift)
people only know company like Tesla, but actually BYD is share more electric cars on market. such as some country like UK and Austria they all used some of Chinese electric BUS for public transport. not just cheap, but safety and other and advance technology, that the reason BYD can defeat other country company and stand this market.
Suresh Reddy thats because poor people like one dollar store products and they ask good quality at the same time. For instance, can opener, there are 1 dollar and 6 dollars choice , both made in china , but people choose 1 dollar one , and complain the quality, but they won’t buy the 6 dollars one although high quality . This kind of person not only in your country, but whole world. China just gave those low income people one more choice, but those people looks like never appreciate of china
thats very interesting, I've never heard of BYD here in the USA. there is so mch resistants to Ev's here and some how it's become trendy among the wealthy and the average joe tends to resent EV drivers as elitist's most EV's here in the USA are just as affordable as their ICE comparable counter parts
Actually, here in South America, Chinese cars cost the same as other cars but their quality is very inferior, they seem to lack a lot in quality control, specially in the interiors. I hope they can change that and enter the global market with good options.
The Chinese car manufacturing space is interesting for the fact there are quite a large number of brands that out in the west we have no idea exist. The local market is so huge and so different that they can have these thriving local brands. The Chinese are getting on with the job of embracing new technology to where no doubt they are on the path to be global leaders. Once the local brands gain the skills to make high quality cars they will become serious global competitors.
Difficult to say wheather they will develope faster than western companys. If they manage to think long term they might be able to compete. Chinease cars have come a far way, in terms of design and interiour(not good but accetable). However currently most of the cars have a realy bad quality and tons of safety flaws, like gearshifters breaking of and other crazy stuff. As said, if they start to think long term they have pretty good chances.
Every country has choice to select gasoline or Electric car based on their own situation. In China's case, China is short of oil and can not rely on importing more oil while more and more people own cars. A typical Electric car can run 400kms by charging US$10 electricity. It is more affordable than running on gas.
EV will not add into already bad air pollution situation in most of the big city in China, it is no doubt a sensible choice for city dweller with the additional incentive coming from local government on new purchased. Car ownership come with a responsibility to the environment too apart from conveniences .
Few BYD e buses and few cars has supplied in nepal few month before.but now no charging stations in nepal.i don't see any byd bus and car in road of nepal.
Good that they are taking enough strides to make gasoline cars obsolete in the coming years. Here in India, we are still to take concrete steps for making EV affordable or attractive.
He gets 1.4 billion fans over night, more than North America and Europe combined ! The NBA, MLB and NHL are all in China and might even change their game hours to suit a Chinese audience !
Sorry,you are 100% wrong , all the car factories made electric cars for financial subsidies. It’s the only reason why they pay energy ,money and time , to made those electric cars which are hardly to earn money.
In China electric cars will actually increase air pollution and CO2 emissions. How? When you charge your car the power comes from power plants. In China 70 percent of electric power comes from burning coal, the dirtiest fuel there is. 5 percent of the energy is lost in the power grid heating up wires and transformers. So the pollution is transferred from car tailpipes to power plant smokestacks and there's more of it. How do I know this? I'm an electrical engineer and I design the installation of the chargers. How about in the US? 30 percent of our electricity comes from.burning coal down from 50 percent a few years ago. Do we have a net gain or loss of CO2 emissions using electric cars. The truth is nobody knows but it won't be nearly as much benefit as most people think and it really is a bad choice to buy and use one IMO.
1. China has advanced coal plants that does 50% energy efficiency, conventional ICE vehicles is at most 30%. These plants also concentrate and treat particulates far better than have it spewed out everywhere from vehicles. 2. Reducing foreign oil dependence. 3. Synergies with growing renewable energy sources. But of course the Chinese needs to listen to you ignorant Westerners who thinks they know better because...
as much as there are many low quality Chinese products out there, there are also vast Chinese products that are affordable and good in quality (E.g. DJI drones).
China is the biggest electric car market . BUT if you count all the OTHER electric vehicles that sell there , like scooters and small 3 and 4 wheelers , there are many MILLIONS of those that sell every year . I myself have 3 such small vehicles . An electric scooter retails at about $300 to $400 . And most households have one or two . No problems with charging stations , they plug into the normal household power .
the yearly energy consumption now is 8 billion kWh for electric vehicles in the whole country. it gonna be a breakthrough year for electric charging piles/stations. reference news-@t
I heard they were changing the incentives due to their effect of increasing the overall number of vehicles on the roads, and therefore increasing the pollution. They really want to encourage people to stop using ICE cars and *instead* use EVs, which would mean people either buying a 2nd vehicle, or replacing their existing vehicle, which is an expensive proposition that is inconceivable for many. IMO, they should introduce 'buy back' schemes for people to replace their ICE cars with EVs.
If the batteries could be unloaded and fast connected to the ev, the gas station might change to batteries station. Therefore, we don't have to wait until our batteries are fully charged. This could be defined as "shared battery" model. Is it practicable?
Yes, and Teslas are specifically designed to permit rapid battery swapping. But currently all Tesla batteries are the same. Cells are deactivated by computer unless you pay a premium to be allowed to use them all.
I don't think it is practical. Those batteries are big and very heavy. Too hard and expensive to move around. Tesla has not gone ahead with the idea I dont think.
Batteries are getting better. By 2025 it will take less than 10 minutes to recharge. And an electric car can have it's battery pack changed. That's the beauty of electric. An EV using batteries can be modified to use different batteries or even fuel cells. Who knows... Maybe mobile fusion like in back to the future one day. Traditional cars are stuck with old processed dinosaur piss (jokes of course)
Put the solar panel on top and also the alternator while you drive the alternator and the solar panel charge to your battery . Soon I will buy that car and I will never been charge it that I will make it renewable energy
When I am in China, I am surprised at how many Teslas I see there. One of my coworkers over there has one. I have not seen that many EV, though. In a parking lot, there may be 15 EV charging stations all with gasoline vehicles parked at them.
Meritocracy, technocracy mixed with totalitarianism and authoritarianism. That's how you advance rapidly. I'm not saying it can't go wrong, but with 1.5 billion+ citizens, I doubt the CCP dare to do too much wrong.
The Chinese government spending lots of money to subsidize EVs is a bit like a start up burning cash to get themselves established while looking for a payoff further down the road
There is nothing wrong with carrying a small Honda 240 volt petrol electric generator to charge your electric car battery when you are on long trips. These generators put out a high amperage electric current and will charge a car battery in about 2 hours. You could have some food for lunch while the battery is being charged. There is a plan for a capacitor to be charged before you leave home. It will have a complete charge enough for a full battery charge. When the battery is getting low you plug it in and the capacitor discharges a full charge into the electric car's battery in just a few seconds. I live in Australia and I would buy a Chinese made electric car. I just want an affordable electric car. Our government and the petroleum companies are keeping electric car prices too high for people to buy one. The petroleum companies get to sell petrol and oil to people and the government of Australia gets 40c of every litre sold in revenue. Just a pair of bastards that keep electric cars too expensive for ordinary people to buy. Please China flood the market with good cheap electric cars as plenty of Australian's will buy them. Hurry China we want them now.
Electrical car and coal are two different businesses. What matters is not where those electricity come from, what matters is electrical car will push energy industry to change, coal is the only one source of electricity, when coal wasn't the best option for producing electricity and electricity become the most used energy, that 'invisible hand' will make this world better ,just think about it economically.
Wall street is liar and bad company for spreading rumors about Ford Taurus, Ford Fiesta, Chevy impala, and Chevy sonic. When they said those companies are going to discontinued their sedans. That isn't acceptable.
The boom is "Not driven primarily by concern for the environment; they are cheap because of subsidies, and they are easy to buy because of aset of rules that are unique to China..." *WHY* do you think they have these rules!?
they r deliberately doing this to phrase out foreign brand on low to med tier, watch in the next 10 years or so china brand electric car will claim atleast 50%-60% of its domestic market. and kick out foreign brand and leave them only in the exotic market. toyota, gm, vw etc will all be phrasing out of the market deliberately by government policy. its all be imminent as china raise, no one will allow foreign stuff to over run its home turf.
EVs are basically a necessity in China considering their deplorable air standards, especially in the big cities. Really they should have made this push 20 years ago, at least.
not really it depends on the source, much of the biofuel made at the moment it actually very high in energy to process and is causing a lot of problems with production such as using a lot of water and fertilizer
Actually our government SPECIFICALLY invited chinese companies to invest in the ev market in india to hasten the ev revolution as early as possible, sadly chinese companies haven't taken much interest in our market.
To add with this Mahindra & Mahindra making and selling lot of electric cars in India it will be 3rd biggest electronic car market in World in 2 years.. And lastly thanks Tesla what to start this revolution and good job China
Toyota and Suzuki making EV in India by 2020, first time both collaborating and chosen India for its production and research because govt told them if they both cannot produce, govt will ask Mahidnra and Tata to collaborate. Cheverlot winded up India sales said office work is done at US office and production cost is high and cannot reduce price. We export mostly to Latin America from India and cannot move production to LA because no country offers the GREAT SUPPLIER BASE like India. We tested components from hundreds of suppliers and all very good including gear box, filter etc etc and reached a mileage of 25 km by testing components for years. If we produce it anywhere, the mileage may be 20 and cost of production will be high as NO COMPETITION among suppliers. India exports cars 40% to Latin and Central America. Few to EU and Africa mostly to UK, Algeria etc. Least to West Asia, Central Asia or South East Asia!!!! Suzuki started operation from 1980 and now has Hyundai, Ford, BMW, GM, Volswagen, Lamborgini, Toyota, Audi, SAIC, Chery, Jaguar etc etc. Dislikers can buy costly cars and waste money as Indian cars are worth money but do not make bad comments as no one will believe it as sales doubling in South America after 5 years of operation.
Very superficial report, WSJ. How about letting us know there are hundreds of small Chinese car makers building mostly lead acid battery EVs at extremely low prices without any safety features? How about letting us know that it is these very marginal cars that make up the bulk of the Chinese EV market? Why do we only ever hear about BYD? What are you trying to hide, WSJ?

It depends. If other countries have EVs that are locally exclusive which dominate their market, China wouldn't have a say.

IMO, they should introduce 'buy back' schemes for people to replace their ICE cars with EVs.
If the batteries could be unloaded and fast connected to the ev, the gas station might change to batteries station. Therefore, we don't have to wait until our batteries are fully charged. This could be defined as "shared battery" model. Is it practicable?
Yes, and Teslas are specifically designed to permit rapid battery swapping. But currently all Tesla batteries are the same. Cells are deactivated by computer unless you pay a premium to be allowed to use them all.
I don't think it is practical. Those batteries are big and very heavy. Too hard and expensive to move around. Tesla has not gone ahead with the idea I dont think.
Batteries are getting better. By 2025 it will take less than 10 minutes to recharge. And an electric car can have it's battery pack changed. That's the beauty of electric. An EV using batteries can be modified to use different batteries or even fuel cells. Who knows... Maybe mobile fusion like in back to the future one day.
Traditional cars are stuck with old processed dinosaur piss (jokes of course)
Boa notícia!
Put the solar panel on top and also the alternator while you drive the alternator and the solar panel charge to your battery . Soon I will buy that car and I will never been charge it that I will make it renewable energy
India is also buying BYD buses for transportation sector .
Not buying byd already came to ndia.
The Chinese are very practical people
how is price
Traffic jams are killer for electric cars ...
When I am in China, I am surprised at how many Teslas I see there. One of my coworkers over there has one. I have not seen that many EV, though. In a parking lot, there may be 15 EV charging stations all with gasoline vehicles parked at them.
Killroy You know, the domestic EV is not much different to their gasoline counterpart though... are you sure you've looked closed enough?
In the future gasoline powered cars will be rare haha
Why not just build an electronic car with a rechargable alternator so you never stop to recharge. is it because petroleum companies have the Monopoly?
Meritocracy, technocracy mixed with totalitarianism and authoritarianism.
That's how you advance rapidly.
I'm not saying it can't go wrong, but with 1.5 billion+ citizens, I doubt the CCP dare to do too much wrong.
BRAVO
May be greener but it won't help with their notoriously bad driving for now.
Usa gdp = china gpd .
Usa 710 billion $ military
China 210 billion $ military
Extra 500 billion $ more for development .
China making way for future...
Finally, a guy who dosen't pollute china, he's a good role model,
The Chinese government spending lots of money to subsidize EVs is a bit like a start up burning cash to get themselves established while looking for a payoff further down the road
There is nothing wrong with carrying a small Honda 240 volt petrol electric generator to charge your electric car battery when you are on long trips. These generators put out a high amperage electric current and will charge a car battery in about 2 hours. You could have some food for lunch while the battery is being charged. There is a plan for a capacitor to be charged before you leave home. It will have a complete charge enough for a full battery charge. When the battery is getting low you plug it in and the capacitor discharges a full charge into the electric car's battery in just a few seconds. I live in Australia and I would buy a Chinese made electric car. I just want an affordable electric car. Our government and the petroleum companies are keeping electric car prices too high for people to buy one. The petroleum companies get to sell petrol and oil to people and the government of Australia gets 40c of every litre sold in revenue. Just a pair of bastards that keep electric cars too expensive for ordinary people to buy. Please China flood the market with good cheap electric cars as plenty of Australian's will buy them. Hurry China we want them now.
just wish the cars didn't look so dorky. if they made cars look a bit nicer, I'd be more than happy to buy.
China needs more decent designers
Electrical car and coal are two different businesses. What matters is not where those electricity come from, what matters is electrical car will push energy industry to change, coal is the only one source of electricity, when coal wasn't the best option for producing electricity and electricity become the most used energy, that 'invisible hand' will make this world better ,just think about it economically.
Well a least someone has brains
How about Kandi EV cars?
Wall street is liar and bad company for spreading rumors about Ford Taurus, Ford Fiesta, Chevy impala, and Chevy sonic. When they said those companies are going to discontinued their sedans. That isn't acceptable.
The boom is "Not driven primarily by concern for the environment; they are cheap because of subsidies, and they are easy to buy because of aset of rules that are unique to China..."
*WHY* do you think they have these rules!?
they r deliberately doing this to phrase out foreign brand on low to med tier, watch in the next 10 years or so china brand electric car will claim atleast 50%-60% of its domestic market. and kick out foreign brand and leave them only in the exotic market. toyota, gm, vw etc will all be phrasing out of the market deliberately by government policy. its all be imminent as china raise, no one will allow foreign stuff to over run its home turf.
BYD and NIO
well i guess when smog is killing u, u have to do something
wow!!! so nice one...
Geely owns volvo. Use volvo brand
Ces taxis sont propres et silencieux.
Where they get there energy is in no way green, probably worst that gas cars
Finally something good from China
EVs are basically a necessity in China considering their deplorable air standards, especially in the big cities. Really they should have made this push 20 years ago, at least.
India's cities too have polluted air, so for all polluted cities EV is important.
Great initiative by the Chinese must be implemented in India too.
If the people love it surely it will be the future .
We need biofuels. They are more eco friendly, and actually affordable
not really it depends on the source, much of the biofuel made at the moment it actually very high in energy to process and is causing a lot of problems with production such as using a lot of water and fertilizer
If they are a hit there , they will soon come to India as well :))
Amazing ... hope they sell to India as well
Actually our government SPECIFICALLY invited chinese companies to invest in the ev market in india to hasten the ev revolution as early as possible, sadly chinese companies haven't taken much interest in our market.
If there's one thing the Chinese government is good at, it's subsidizing. I'm glad it's having a positive impact!
skullee Also building miles of high speed rail and rapid transit.
To add with this Mahindra & Mahindra making and selling lot of electric cars in India it will be 3rd biggest electronic car market in World in 2 years.. And lastly thanks Tesla what to start this revolution and good job China
Toyota and Suzuki making EV in India by 2020, first time both collaborating and chosen India for its production and research because govt told them if they both cannot produce, govt will ask Mahidnra and Tata to collaborate.
Cheverlot winded up India sales said office work is done at US office and production cost is high and cannot reduce price. We export mostly to Latin America from India and cannot move production to LA because no country offers the GREAT SUPPLIER BASE like India. We tested components from hundreds of suppliers and all very good including gear box, filter etc etc and reached a mileage of 25 km by testing components for years. If we produce it anywhere, the mileage may be 20 and cost of production will be high as NO COMPETITION among suppliers.
India exports cars 40% to Latin and Central America. Few to EU and Africa mostly to UK, Algeria etc. Least to West Asia, Central Asia or South East Asia!!!! Suzuki started operation from 1980 and now has Hyundai, Ford, BMW, GM, Volswagen, Lamborgini, Toyota, Audi, SAIC, Chery, Jaguar etc etc. Dislikers can buy costly cars and waste money as Indian cars are worth money but do not make bad comments as no one will believe it as sales doubling in South America after 5 years of operation.
I hope they succeed it will lower the price of EV's if there's more competition out there.
And, of course, SOME OTHER COUNTRY WILL SAVE US...Germany loves solar panels, Japan brought hybrid cars to market, and now this.
God bless China
Byd already make ev buses for the UK
More likely a hit with threats if customers don't herald the wonders of EV
Can u give any agency in bangladesh
Very superficial report, WSJ. How about letting us know there are hundreds of small Chinese car makers building mostly lead acid battery EVs at extremely low prices without any safety features? How about letting us know that it is these very marginal cars that make up the bulk of the Chinese EV market? Why do we only ever hear about BYD? What are you trying to hide, WSJ?
dlwatib lead acid powered vehicles are e bikes . doesn't count as cars.
And powered by electricity got from burning coal very eco friendly.
