China’s superfast EV charging taking over European car markets
by Inside China Business [11-7-2025].
(RAD: Keep in mind that China deliberately builds an overcapacity of low cost electricity. This also benefits buyer's of electric cars in China. — RAD)
China's BYD has already surged past Tesla in most markets where Chinese cars are allowed to be sold.
The company's new models take aim at traditional gas-burning vehicles.
"Megawatt Charging" allows for electric vehicles to add over 250 miles of new range in under five minutes, which is faster than filling up at the pump.
Chinese brands offer a wider range of models, with superior features and higher quality than cars from legacy manufacturers at far higher prices.
Tariffs and import bans were used to deny China access to most Western markets. But Chinese firms are opening plants around the world to get around the tariffs and restrictions.
