there is plenty of info on it online. The bigger problem is we don't have viable alternatives yet

More than half of the electric cars on roads worldwide are found in China. The country was also responsible for 35% of global EV exports in 2022. In fact, Chinese automaker BYD sold more electric vehicles than Tesla in Q4 2023
