Summary
China, dominating 50% of the global EV market, is leveraging its rapid electric vehicle (EV) export expansion to reshape global geopolitics.
With Chinese EV brands like BYD spreading worldwide, this transition parallels how U.S. oil dominance defined the 20th century.
As EVs reduce reliance on oil, the U.S.’s geopolitical influence tied to oil diminishes, while China’s role grows.
Widespread adoption of Chinese EVs could shift global alliances, granting China greater economic and political sway as energy independence weakens traditional oil-powered systems of control.
This means how we are addicted to cars.
Less cars = less money transferred overseas.
However, guess which makers manufactures EV buses and are popular in the Europe.
Fortunately, we have good local brands.
yeah, imagine how much more efficient the western economies would be if they didn’t have this crippling dependency on a trillion dollars of gasoline a year and trillions of dollars worth of cars.
Saudi Arabia and Russia would go broke overnight. Entire government debts would be written off.
